    Nevada is amazing if you have the guts to stray from “The Strip”.

  • Hotel life was a decade ago…

    Can’t do it. Simply taking a shower is like being stoned and using your friend’s new car to go to Taco Bell at 2am. I’ve realized something about myself, or maybe I’m just being witty in the moment: It’s not that I’ve  never known how to read the room; I’ve just insisted they read me…

  • Witness.

    Witness.

    This tree. The alien things this tree has seen and heard throughout the decades. I say alien, because I assume trees find us as such.

Beds, kitchens, living areas; all places where I can’t relax when it belongs to others. I feel like I’m being watched…

  • First Sip

    First Sip

    The morning sun cruelly peeks through drawn curtains. We managed to victor against parking lot floodlights with ease for three nights, but the big, scary, burning ball of death wins supreme. I’m up. I managed to grab a shower before the chaos of vacating the hotel room begins. I feel quite refreshed, but I failed…
