skyl:

when you stop collecting music. you stop caring abut music. at least that’s how i see it. the second you can be happy with just an mp3…you’ve lost the magic. you’ve lost the appreciation for the artwork that helps tell the album’s story. you’ve lost so much of the music as a whole. because now all you have are the sounds. the record, when it’s sitting in front of you, is offering so much. it’s like taking the equivalent of a live performance and turning it into pictures and words. not much beats holding the records, or cassettes, or cds- in your hand.

A letter to Mrs. Budd, Grace’s mother, from Albert Fish

Dear Mrs. Budd. On Sunday June the 3, 1928 I called on you at 406 W 15 St. Brought you pot cheese—strawberries. We had lunch. Grace sat in my lap and kissed me. I made up my mind to eat her. On the pretense of taking her to a party. You said yes she could go. I took her to an empty house in Westchester I had already picked out. When we got there, I told her to remain outside. She picked wildflowers. I went upstairs and stripped all my clothes off. I knew if I did not I would get her blood on them. When all was ready I went to the window and called her. Then I hid in a closet until she was in the room. When she saw me all naked she began to cry and tried to run down the stairs. I grabbed her and she said she would tell her mamma. First I stripped her naked. How she did kick – bite and scratch. I choked her to death, then cut her in small pieces so I could take my meat to my rooms. Cook and eat it. How sweet and tender her little ass was roasted in the oven. It took me 9 days to eat her entire body. I did not fuck her though I could of had I wished. She died a virgin.

Oh shit.

Light Saws by Wes Whaley

I’ve started following several of thee Light Painting groups on flickr lately, mostly because of OOOO PRETTY. While some people have made some pretty interesting shots, Wes has turned it into a design genre all its own. Check out tons more at his flickr.

AMAZING

Great idea!  Flickr photographer Henrique Feliciano Silva filled an empty light bulb with water to get this amazing refracted light photo of his hometown!

Today Tristin wore his dress. Not a huge thing as he wears it quite often but this was different. Today was the first time he kept it on when we left. Usually when he wears it he will change, completely his choice, if I say we are going somewhere. He just wasn’t quite comfortable going out in public with it. Today he just put on his sandals. I asked him a couple times if he was sure and he was. So with a boy in a pink dress and Tinkerbell flip flops, we went. 

We hit up Goodwill (finally found some teacups I liked!), Lowe’s and Target. I kept a look out for how people reacted to him, just so if he noticed I could talk with him about it later. There were some curious looks but nothing major. Most people were looking at my hair anyway. The only negative reaction I saw was actually a surprising one. A young girl maybe nine years old gave him a dirty look as we were walking out of Target. Tristin didn’t notice since he was talking about his new Hello Kitty flip brush/mirror.  

I know there will be a day when he will notice how some people treat those who are “different” but I’m glad that for now he took a big step for himself and the world as he knows it is alright. 

Parenting: You’re doing it right.

this made me teary eyed! this kid looks so happy, and what an amazing mother he has for being so open minded to the fact he wanted to wear a dress and tinkerbell sandals! i love this kid! how sweet!

Awesome.
