apogee whiz

I recently read that one of the most frustrating aspects of human psychology, as opined by a psychologist, is our rather pointless quest to "find an answer." we look for a solution, the missing piece to our problem, hoping that this will finally align every dissonant chord. but we (mostly) already know what the answers are. it's more about, as he said far more eloquently than I can remember now, finding a different perspective in which to look at things. 

I've been thinking about this a lot. maybe that was my new perspective? ...predictably, it's not an instant fix either.

I passed this, walked half a block further, thought "damn it, that's quietly awesome," and returned to take this picture. I love that someone took the time to place it here, and I especially admire how no one came along to fuck it up.

at first glance I thought this was something weirdly interspecies-lascivious involving an elephant, until it was pointed out to me that it's actually a human with a fishing pole. 

Pine Street.

I don't remember if I've posted this yet, but moods are always brightened by huge-ass sunflowers. 

ever feel like you're the only thing that gets in your own way?
