recovery.
things aren’t always going to happen the way we expect or want them to.
sometimes, in fact, our experiences are completely opposite from what we would imagine they could be. for better or for worse.
i guess that’s okay, because we can always start over. even though it’s harder that way. even though we did it to ourselves.

a few words.
- i can’t stand not looking perfect, but as long as you think i do then i’m okay.
- i’m currently using one of the last remaining packets of polaroid 600 film on the planet. and i’m using it on you…the way it should be.
- as my mind grows, the world shrinks.
- i’ve found the end and i am so excited to get there.

Benassi Bros.
So I haven’t been around much. My life has been exceptionally busy of late. But here’s the thing: Alle Benassi, Benny Benassi’s cousin and the other half of the Benassi Bros. DJ super-amazingness, recently released a new album called “Rock the Dog.”
It is awesome. Purchase it immediately. Commence the dancing.
Enjoy UR SUNDAY!

Feminine Aesthetics
America’s Next Top Model (Cycle 12): Death by Beauty
I love the human aesthetic, almost to the point of obsession. But lately I’ve really adored the feminine. It’s the only real reason I can stand this show. My paper on the male gaze is getting to my head…

The Thin Commandments
Today’s world is filled with pressures and expectations that we can either benefit from or let rule our lives. We have to live a certain way, act a certain way, look a certain way to just simply be accepted by our peers, when even they themselves are far from perfect.
Face it…simply look it right in the face and admit it to yourself. No one is perfect. Gisele Bündchen, despite her...

On Nature:
i love climbing through the forest of your eyes. i love kissing the sunsets of your cheeks. i love hiding myself in the valley of your lips, with one side always turned up and the other reaching down. the silent lake of your skin, flecked with freckles like small lily pads; the briskness and glacial white of your teeth as they flash like summer lightning. i planned all the words i was going to...

STEAMPUNK
Now…in my life I have fit many different labels. Up through 5th grade I was a tomboy, 6th grade I tried preppy, 7th-8th I was convinced I was a punk, 9th-10th I was some form of grunge, 11th-12th I had deemed myself “indie”…whatever the hell that is. I don’t know what I am now and I don’t really care anymore. Basing personal [life]style on clothing is...
"Frankly, I Don't WANT to Analyze This Book"
LITERATURE. This is what I deal with on a daily basis here in College-land. I read approximately 4.5 books (novels, not textbooks…that’s another story) a month for classes during a “slow” period…nevermind the 5 books I’ll probably read on the side for “fun.” It’s fair to say that I love reading. Fair. I like to...

Welcome back.
Look around momentarily. Well, I mean, look around CULTURALLY. We are surrounded by unsuccessful, usually lame, unimportant music. Take a look at iTunes top 10 for RIGHT NOW (2am, March 13):

Home Sweet Home by Carrie Underwood
Poker Face by Lady GaGa
Here Comes Goodbye by Rascal Flatts

Introductions, Explanations, and Nathan Barley
Welcome to my Tumblr. This is like my Livejournal 2.0. The difference is that this is not a semi-public personal log of my exceptionally unfortunate life and I will be using capitalization with correct grammar. Usually. Here I shall be recording things like my opinions, what I like, what I see, what I do, what I think you all should do, and ET CETERA. Enjoy it while it lasts.
