Taipei Dreams

Furiously quivering airports of Taipei were serene with the industrial lull of the din of the modern machines and the crisp air. Not moreso else was I reminded of the contrast than at the point this picture was taken ... at the Tryst in Vegas.

Dart for my Sweetheart

This ephemeral Friday was marked with a corporate goulash of dwindling sensibilities and lechery beyond treason. You tend to find out so much about people is so little time. They do their own strip-show in front of an audience and the sight is so godforsaken that on a good day you would bleed with empathy but not today. Not this Friday.

I will here onwards be chronicling my US trip with photos and little anecdotes about Vegas, Oakland, San Francisco and San Diego.

The set presented here above are scenes from the Vegas strip – its way over the head yet people, pimps and playthings congregate to resonate in collective orgasm amidst the lights, glitz, glamour and the dollar shops down the strip. The Wynn, the Venetian, the Bellagio, Caesar’s Palace, Treasure Island, MGM, Monte Carlo and what not. Civil structures of civil fuckdom. Enjoy.

Pissed off at the Vistas

What good is it to be so disarmingly pretentious that you cannot even admit to your own self that you've finally found happiness - or are you going to pretend to be bored with it? That WOULD be the fashionably sensitive thing to do --- FEH

If i weren't so consumed by the corporate maladies that reverberate through the stupid song stuck in my head everyday I would prolly blog a lot more, record a lot more and live a lot more - can't love a lot more though ... go figure .. umm...

Anywho... so if you think you're happy, let yourself be. And if you're not go buy my record. The one I didnt release yet. OR go listen to the following list of songs which are playing constantly in my head/car/bed :
