Killing In The Name Of

Last night I was at the Gramercy Park Hotel and fell in love with all of the Brian Clarke paintings. A little confused over the $150.00 candle they burn in their lobby. It must be a good candle!

SO WRONG

WRONG>>WRONG>>WRONG.

The new Depeche Mode song is WRONG pun intended. Seems dated

Force without Authority

You can't force something that you can't hold on to. This place of so many things. Music is blasting in my ears. Candles are lit everywhere and this liberation or perhaps better specified rush is flowing though my body. It finally stopped raining.

This weekend I ran the island, visited the New Museum which was a complete waste of time and tried to figure out the simple things.

For some reason I can't sleep. Tossing and turning with this need to write. \++++

The past month has been revolutionary. I am where I want to be and around people I can relate with. I am currently in Los Angeles and it is 4:30AM. I am in no way awake by choice. I am eager to get back to New York for a couple weeks. 

Last night I had dinner with Tom at Anisette in Santa Monica- it's truly the new Scarboni.  Tom and I share this common understanding of each other that is a bond I share with very few people. Life politics, politics life - just a great friend who is inspiring. 

Earlier in the day I had lunch at Barney's Greengrass with 17 to 1, an old friend which I was so delighted to see. It definitely brought back memories of the past and feelings that are insurmountable. 

next- shopping and it really needs to STOP: at first I was undecided on the new Louie Vuitton collection but there is no denying that these are some AMAZING shoes on the market:

LV

Gucci

Lanvin

Gucci 

Dior

Gucci

LV

As the jeans are getting tighter - - - lace up "cool" kicks and you'll be ready for take off. 

Black Cloud

In theory there are black clouds outside my kitchen window. We have been in Los Angeles for just about 5 days and anxious to get back to NY. The rain is nonstop. I miss my new friends and yes, the 7 mile Sunday jogs from Soho to the upper east side. 

Go Download the new Morrissey and Franz Ferdinand albums which were released today.

Will be back on Friday! 

Lunch today w/ Megan in Brentwood, flowers for sister - V-DAY and The Fray. 

GO GO GO !

// My Valentine 

Who are you? Lost and insecure you look around trying to find the one thing that matters most. And then one day it all makes sense doesn’t it? For so long you have followed your heart and each day ask yourself why you continue to, when the same reaction is negative. It’s being lost in a big city with no one but your headphones and that voice that will not disappear. You try to move on. You tell yourself it’s over but it really hasn’t even begun. I love you and you are the only person I have ever loved. What is love though? It’s fear, happiness, tears, memories and a list of so many verbs that virtually keep us here. Without love, would anything really even make sense?

I came here not to find love but to follow the one thing I do love. There is a difference. Some people constantly are on that quest to be satisfied. It was just the other day that I found myself in this situation. Sitting at the Mercer Kitchen being told I am the most beautiful person someone has ever met. Ironically, I was not called the following day.

Love is something you can’t find but rather finds you. A true smile is one your heart can see.

“Don’t let me go” are lyrics I think about so much. But it is these lyrics that haven’t allowed me to move on. It’s these lyrics that compare everything to you. I am scared and only because I don’t know if I can ever feel this way about someone like the way I felt about you.

All I can really hope for is to not hate this world and not hate you. But thank you for what you have taught me and thank you for allowing me to feel the ground. Anywhere in the world at any moment and it really is the same. Running for hours just to take my mind off you. Crazy, beautiful but more crazy then beautiful. Intellect over look and knowing that look is what may start a book but it’s not what closes it. 

Watch the sun for years. That is hope. Following my heart forever and never give up. One dream and only one life.

Adore Adele

The white wall is sterile. It's like a shower which was just cleaned with Clorox bleach. The heater is beginning to suffocate my apartment. I am listening to Adele "Chasing Pavement" and scratching my leg from a rash that has spread up my right leg. It's snowing outside and I say this felicitously . The cabs don't stop at red lights, people stomp in puddles and don't say excuse me and shoulders but constantly but for some reason all of this builds a community. A community that makes you smile. 

I am slowly familiarizing myself and it's becoming real. Very very real.
