tonight i took my second run in the neighborhood. i decided i’m really going to make a genuine effort to implement a run everyday into my lifestyle. running around the hood has allowed me to discover little niches, treasures, that make bed-stuy so full of magic. i was stopped today by a gallery window on dekalb ave next to what looked like some sort of generic chicken joint. as i stared perplexed and intrigued a couple of street guys started talking to me about it. they told me about the great paintings they’ve seen through the window. the gallery looked ghostly but i decided to pull the door open and so i met jacob and jon.

still searching for bdot.

That movie was AMAZING and breathtaking and I might have even cried a little at one point. It solidified my move to NY too btw..

The most memorable advice from your parents…?

Every time I go to see visit them in Belgium they have more advice, but the phrase I always keep in mind is to always be honest and work hard, you will get what you deserve.

I love the night passionately. I love it as I love my country, or my mistress, with an instinctive, deep, and unshakeable love. I love it with all my senses: I love to see it, I love to breathe it in, I love to open my ears to its silence, I love my whole body to be caressed by its blackness. Skylarks sing in the sunshine, the blue sky, the warm air, in the fresh morning light. The owl flies by night, a dark shadow passing through the darkness; he hoots his sinister, quivering hoot, as though he delights in the intoxicating black immensity of space.

Guy de Maupassant
