when akira kurosawa was filming ‘ikiru,’ he told takashi shimura to sing ‘song of the gondola’ “. . . as if you are a stranger in a world where nobody believes you exist.”

uh, whoa.

yeah.

yes.

rest in peace, man. you were a real dude in a world full of pathetic nobodies. we don’t serve all the cool stuff you made for us (lol).

i updated this and successfully said absolutely nothing new

at least the picture is better

sorry to keep posting lyrics but good lord, jessica pratt, thanks for summing it all up for me:

“and my dreams are made of ghost skins / when i wake up in my dark places
and i reach for the messy faces / that take me down to my favorite ride
oh i am blossoming down / and i stay down here
when dreams cloud my mind / to take me away this time”

there, how’s that

well, this is how i feel right now

that’s my beautiful grandmother a long time ago

my friends are dante, laura, tracey, hali, kendall, hal

Have you ever heard someone say, “He’s like . . . foreign or some shit”? Because I have.

Also every time I go home, both sides of my family make a point to mention what someone’s ethnicity / skin color is when they’re telling a story when 99% of the time that has absolutely nothing to do with the story at all.

Also one time a guy I knew was defending his friend, saying his friend wasn’t homophobic, but was just “creeped out by gay people and didn’t want to be around them.”
