Nothing like a little drama to get one riled up and motivated! Since I don't have any new art or writing to offer, I'm going to go through my photos from the last few months and start posting them! In no particular order, of course.

And also a Lyric Dump, because I can, and because this journal needs a little something to get me back on track with things. Lo, Billy Joel, one of my top favorite music inspirations. And...he's going to be in concert with Elton John in Tulsa in March. So close, and yet so far...from my wallet.


"They say that these are not the best of times
But they're the only time I've ever known
And I believe there is a time for meditation
In cathedrals of our own
Now I have seen that sad surrender in my lover's eyes
And I can only stand apart and sympathize
For we are always what our situations hand us
It's either sadness or euphoria

So we'll argue and we'll compromise
And realize that nothing's ever changed
For all our mutual experience
Our separate conclusions are the same
Now we are forced to recognize our inhumanity
Our reason coexists with our insanity
And though we choose between reality and madness
It's either sadness or euphoria

How thoughtlessly we dissipate our energies
Perhaps we don't fulfill each other's fantasies
And as we stand upon the ledges of our lives
With our respective similarities
It's either sadness or euphoria"

-Billy Joel, "Summer, Highland Falls"
