The Good Life

“Let’s go on a livin spree” - Kanye West

In the foot steps of The Rain LP comes my latest playlist: The Good Life.

Starting with the euphoria of week’s end, moving through the evenings festivities and pursuits, and closing out the night with a bit of inebriated existentialism. It’s meant to be played with the windows down, the volume up, and the speedometer at 55+

the time has come for colds and overcoats

the leaves have finally turned and the cold is blowing in from the north. as the cold sets in, everything slows down (no really, read a physics book, byatch). i find myself walking slower. taking more in. with the leaves on the ground, views are expanded. what was obstructed before, is now easy to see. […]
