the captain is out to lunch and the sailors have taken over the ship

"There's nothing to mourn about death any more than there is to mourn about the growing of a flower. What is terrible is not death but the lives people live or don't live up until their death. They don't honor their own lives, they piss on their lives. They shit them away. Dumb fuckers. They concentrate too much on fucking, movies, money, family, fucking. Their minds are full of cotton. They swallow God without thinking, they swallow country without thinking. Soon they forget how to think, they let others think for them. Their brains are stuffed with cotton. They look ugly, they talk ugly, they walk ugly. Play them the great music of the centuries and they can't hear it. Most people's deaths are a sham. There's nothing left to die."

—The Captain Is Out to Lunch and the Sailors Have Taken Over the Ship, 1998

trouble, set me free

my favorite cat stevens song in a scene from my very favorite movie, harold and maude. never fails to wrench my heart. i also love those pola flower pins on the cement. photographed by andrea of hula seventy.

the days run away like wild horses over the hills

from the archives. beautiful and brilliant and there will never be another.
