I could taste the peach and feel the soft air blowing from a subway grating on my legs and I could smell lilac and garbage and expensive perfume and I knew that it would cost something sooner or later — because I did not belong there, did not come from there — but when you are twenty-two or twenty-three, you figure that later you will have a high emotional balance, and be able to pay whatever it costs.

Tapestries, manuscripts, glass, and works by silver- and goldsmiths area unit on show in an exceedingly building made of foreign twelfth- and thirteenth-century bailiwick items.

Yes, I used a machine to record. when a naked man’s chasing a woman through an alley with a butcher knife and a hard-on, I figure he’s not out collecting for the red cross. this is my gun, close! you wouldn’t hit a man with no trousers on, would you? this is the ak-47 assault rifle, the preferred weapon of your enemy; and it makes a distinctive sound when fired at you, so remember it. here. put that in your report!” and “i may have found a way out of here. well, do you have anything to say for yourself? I took a viagra, got stuck in me throat, i’ve had a stiff neck for hours. my lord! you’re a tripod. you are as precious to me as you were to your own mother and father.

Not everyone is going to like what I do, and that’s something I can accept. If everyone liked what I did, I probably wouldn’t be playing anything of depth.

Traditions are imploding and exploding everywhere – everything is coming together, for better or worse, and we can no longer pretend we’re all living in different worlds because we’re on different continents. A songwriter’s supreme challenge is being complex and simple at the same time.

Ideas from a Working Garage: Brother Moto

John and that i wandered around and that i took a bunch of images. it had been lots of fun and folks (and some critters) were obtaining around in numerous inventive ways in which.

A bit further was a little side track to the wetland area, which is definitely worth checking out!

From here the walk continued pretty flat, before it climbed as it entered the Clinton Valley.
