mariachi in aisle three
My heart is paralyzed
My head was over-sized
I'll take the high road like I should.
You said, "It's meant to be.
That it's not you it's me."
You're leaving now for my own good.
That's cool but if my friends ask where you are
I'm gonna say
She went down in an airplane
Fried getting sun tanned
Fell in a cement mixer full of quicksand
Help me, help me, I'm no good at goodbyes.
She met a shark under water
Fell and no one caught her
I returned everything I ever bought her
Help me, help me, I'm all out of lies
And ways to say you died.
My pride still feels the sting
You were my everything
Someday I'll find a love likes yours
(a love like yours)
She'll think I'm Superman
Not Super Minivan
How could you leave on Yom Kippur?
That's cool but if my friends ask where you are
I'm gonna say
She was caught in a mudslide
Eaten by a lion
Got run over by a crappy purple Scion
Help me, help me, I'm no good at goodbyes.
She dried up in the desert
Drowned in the hot tub
Danced to death at an East Side nightclub
Help me, help me, I'm all out of lies
And ways to say you died.
I want to live a thousand lives with you
I want to be the one you're dying to love
But you don't want to
That's cool but if my friends ask where you are
I'm gonna say
(That's cool but if my friends ask where you are
I'm gonna say)

Help me, help me, I'm no good at goodbyes.

life is short, take lots of pictures
This is a marvelous series of photos republished here as fair use from VOGUE/Paris in November 2008.
Photography team Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin shot the same young woman as if she were 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 years old.
Born May 11, 1987, Hungarian supermodel Eniko Mihalik deserves a great deal of the credit.
Models are actors for the still camera, and the best go on to motion pictures. At only 20 years old, Mihalik really seems to nail her inner age.
Make-up and hair, lighting and wardrobe, photography
and one very talented model.
Have a great weekend!

the people are still speaking
Struggling to maintain roughly 50 remaining news bureaus around the world, The New York Times has been going through downsizing for several years, offering buyouts to workers while cutting expenses.
In 2007 they announced they would narrow the width of their paper by six inches, for savings of $12 million a year.

- They’ve sold their media outlets all over the country.
- They borrowed against their new office tower.
- They borrowed a cool quarter billion from a Mexican financier.
In 2010 their earnings declined from $2.44 billion to $2.39 billion while newspaper ad revenue declined from $680 million to $640 million.
So they put up a paywall.
Do you purchase an online subscription
to read the New York Times?
I didn’t think so. I don’t either.
So the question is:
“Do we care enough as a digital culture to preserve the reach of the greatest news gathering organization of all time?”

I don’t see the evidence. What do you think?

and a big construction loan
Well.
More like a million and a dream.
