Nick Hornby writes about sadness being better than... →
I’m not sure I agree but this is a pretty good quote from the article: “Some people are at their best when they’re miserable. Ryan Adams’s beautiful Heartbreaker album is, I suspect, the product of a great deal of pain, and “Oh My Sweet Carolina” is its perfect, still centre, its faint heartbeat, a song so quiet that you don’t want to breathe throughout its duration.” I agree...

WatchWatch
this is too beautiful. the sea, raw and freshly wild harvested food sprinkled with flowers and sea salt, a father and a son… the love here is so tangible. Reminds me of some really good fathers I’ve known. Especially being around kids lets me see these relationships as they unfold. Some kids are really lucky. Some parents really delve into being there for their kids, and that I love....

Earthlings →
is a documentary I’ve been meaning to watch, about human’s reliance and yet complete disrespect of other animals, and I may have my class watch it (maybe as a homework) but I can’t stomach it right now. It’s on the list for the week though. So… if you watch it, let me know what you think.

Something indescribable...

The Blind Cafe →
This cafe is a social change for good, so it tells me. And I’ve heard so much about it.. it needs to come to San Francisco- right now it’s pretty much Denver, Boulder, Portland OR, and Seattle. and soon to come to Austin. So… San Francisco soon? Come on! Listening to music in the dark! Dining! Getting people to really pay attention to the felt sensations of their bodies. Maybe I...
