Thoughts From a Beach Sojourn

I woke up impatient and anxious Chasin’ dreams in my sleep Got me feeling like I made it Then I wake up and see Frustration… – Under Control, The Internet I spent a significant amount of time this past week on the beach. In the comfort of warm shallow waters, soft sands, and gentle breezes, …

I R Evl

The first time I went to Space Lounge was this past August. I was already turnt by the time I got there after the evening party of one of my friends who had had a wedding. The place was packed to the rafters. Most of the night was a blur. I vaguely remember bumping into …

The Futility of Our Favourite Things

A Short Letter to an Old Friend
