 "Love should be unaddressed. Love need not be oriented towards the other. Love oriented towards the other is not true love, love as relationship is not true love. Love as a state of being is true love. One can love a woman, one can love a man, one can love one’s children, one can love one’s parents, one can love roses, one can love other flowers, one can love a thousand and one things — but these are all relationships. Learn how to be love! So it is not a question of to whom your love is addressed, it is simply a question of your being loving. Sitting alone, still love goes on flowing." - Osho

"There is no difference in what we're doing in here that doesn't show up as bigger symptoms out there."

...that there should be no bottom or top at all.

I like films and independent cinemas.
I like the theater and being backstage.
I like film sets.
I like books, bookshops, & libraries.
I like writing.
I like long walks around the city.

One day, I will be an established filmmaker.

At the helm of this 35 foot long camera is photographer, Dennis Manarchy, who is traveling around the US taking portraits of everyday people in all 50 states. The camera puts out negatives 4.5 X 6 feet tall. The final result is a picture two stories high. The detail in the eyes alone is said to be 1,000 times greater they anything ever shot before.

“There are days when I’m just terrible and I can’t act. Like, there was a day in Never Let Me Go… There was a whole scene where I’m facing down the beach while Keira [Knightley] gives us a little note. It’s a very serious scene and me and Andrew [Garfield] are meant to react emotionally. I couldn’t do anything that day. I couldn’t do anything. I just turned away. It looks like I’m having a moment but I’m just not… I can’t think what to do. Sometimes when that happens I think, ‘What on earth am I doing?’ I think the most confident I feel as an actress is when I’m doing theatre.” Carey Mulligan

wespeakfortheearth: golden-zephyr: There are no words for this. You wonder why we’re angry; why we won’t stand for your bullshit. Look at this. LOOK AT THIS. A white woman attacking a Rroma mother AND HER BABY. I’m literally crying right now, here in my chair, in the office at work. It’s something I’ve dealt with in my life more than once and something I fear every day. I don’t even “look” particularly Rroma now. I just don’t know how you can sit there, in your privilege and comfort and deny this happens. LOOK. Vo!  Gaadži dukhavel pe do čhajorjake dake!!!

They then picked up old fruit from the stalls and were throwing this at the Romany Gypsies, this escalated as the Gypsies responded verbally. Then further as one teenage girl found old stallholders chair and ran after the Gypsies hitting the woman pictured from behind. The woman tries to protect her baby wrapped in her arm in blankets” F***ed Up Photo of the Day, right here. Somebody please tell me this is photoshopped?

Struggling to see beauty.

not a good thing.

"Can I just ask - don’t we seem dumb? Why are the lights so bright? Isn’t our talent as artists enough? Why do we try so hard? I am not even thinking about it that much. I will close my eyes in 90 seconds and have total peace… But, seriously. Why are we waving around so much? Why do we need this shit so bad? Why don’t we just have music? Do music?"

Justin Vernon on the VMAs (via geometricity)

My thoughts exactly. Yesterday I watched the VMAs, followed by Geordie Shore, which I learned is the British version of Jersey Shore. It made me feel miserable. My brain fried, processed, and pounded at. All I could think of was: I hate my generation, what have we come to and where the hell are we heading towards, because I don’t want to get there, wherever it is. Why the fuck was there a bright yellow cube on top of Katy Perry’s head?

Patti Smith’s exciting little ditty (January 1975) This small article in Issue 10′s “Hot Pix” section constitutes the first mention of Patti Smith in the magazine’s pages (unless you count her own writing, of course — she wrote an article about Television in Issue 9). Within a year, she’d be on the cover, the subject of regular features and referred to simply as “Patti” — but at first, it seems Rock Scene didn’t quite know what to make of her music, describing her version of “Hey Joe” as “unusual” and referring to “Piss Factory” as an “exciting little ditty.”

Cinema Paradiso, dir. Giuseppe Tornatore [1988] Could you imagine anything, any event, anywhere more perfect? I want to be on one of the boats, and Casablanca should be the film screening.

I want these. Now. Especially the Catch-22 tshirt and the Catcher in the Rye sweater. oooh. (and the Brave New World tshirt - just any piece of clothing with Aldous Huxley written on it completely blows my mind, really)

You know what else would be cool? A Henry Miller Tropic of Cancer/Capricorn tshirt. Ah, that would be my favorite ever. (While we’re at it: Ariel, by Sylvia Plath as well, please.)

Elizabethtown, dir. Cameron Crowe [2005] I could not stop doing this after I watched this film. And though many people dislike it, I think it is a charming film. Subtle and gentle. [on a side note, I cannot wait for Crowe’s new film, We Bought a Zoo. It’s got a fantastic cast and the premise is intriguing. And he’s working with Patrick Fugit again!]
