a tan: the ultimate accessory.

A tan hits the sweet spot between conspicuous and inconspicuous consumption.  A tan is a message, and the message is that its bearer is a child of nature who has returned to one’s filing-cabinet life bearing proof of the nature connection. The idea of tans returning us to a state of nature makes tanning less stigmatized where more tangible icons of luxury might be sneered at. I’m having trouble thinking of anything that we know full well is bad for us but that we do anyway, for vanity—rather, that we encourage the mimicking of. We might go on diets, wear high heels, quaff martinis, puff smoke rings, or any number of other things that have been glamorized that aren’t so hot for your health—but we’re actually doing those things, not pretending to do them.

good at nothing.

my ability to do nothing really well worries me. in no way is it hard for me to putter through a day with a sense of accomplishment. the key is a dog,  fresh air and good books. happy summer.

summer nostalgia.

I'll just lie here
keep strumming your guitar
I'ma smile while you make up lyrics.
summer breeze pushes all my worries away.
only concern is where I'll get my popsicle.

who are you?

you broke my heart from the start
made me work, work so hard
to get where I am, to where I'd let you do it all again.
