It's been a while, I've missed you

I've moved.

Is not the reason I have not kept up any thoughts.

Needed some changes, inspiration, and sunshine.

Ahora

MADEME F/W 2010 from Reid van Renesse on Vimeo.

love para all these cool chicas

hot weather

after the gym the raspado man was right in front of my apartment,
as if he was waiting for me and knew what i wanted.

is this love..

...or friendship?

"but then there is him....

humilde corazon

hugs

plays the music

sings the songs

makes me burn the candels

listening closely

creative

smile that matches mine

deceive

not meant to be

im not going to stay

im not goint to live a life where i cant be free

got me..."

....

"there is beauty in hope

and you know what the weird thing about this is

its the fact

that i cant open up like this to nobody

you make me laugh and you dont even try.

im in love with that.

and with everything you do."

....

"you think i wouldnt be suprise

that you acted that way

but everytime i see you

i fall in love all over again

i understand

we can never be,

more than a moment.

what summers are dreamed of

memories fading."

....

"i know her name

she might be quite something, to hold you."

....

"i never told you the things i thought as i held you,

but oh well.

ill keep it to myself

for there be many others."

....

"you come back in my dreams

here inside me,

wait until i awake."

....

"an hour

turns into 3

i missed where i was suppose to go

im not jealous of your girlfriend

im intimadated,

of all of them.

im trying to live this honest life

i want to let you know exactly what im thinking

i dont want to keep anything inside

ive made that mistake many times

ill always be the friend

and im in love with that.

im in love with the impossible

but thats why i leave

and follow dreams.

ill leave you behind

because you dont stop me."

....

"i gave up on the pleasure of your kiss so i wont feel the pain

we waited until the dawn came

laying in the middle of the park

warm blanket

warm arms

im bad for him

im no good

yet he stood by my side

im his until poets run out of rhymes

yet

actions speak louder than words

and there is no action

only words

i inspire

i love

he loves

he doesnt say much

so i stand there looking

waiting for him to say something

under the influence i grasp

love

and push

and pull

for him

to understand

late night phone calls

everyday

phone rings

hes too good to me

so good

i fall back

to make sure

its true

ive been here before

im true

im feeling older

i inspire him

yet

he tames the demons inside"

....

"i really dont want to fall in love

hurting is infinite...

and losing people in my life

is far worst.

i cant see my life without us"

these are snippets of journals

span of years of friendship

and after all this he is still the most awesome friend a girl can have

in and out of life

but can't see life without

at the moment.

momentos

...

When I laughed, I knew he wanted me again.

A minute later he asked, "Do you love me?"

I laughed some more, "I don't think so."

He looked sad.

After fixing breakfast, we laughed.

and thought maybe I will one day, if we keep laughing.

Best Coast - When I'm With You

SUPERHEROES

Each photograph includes the location in Mexico where they are from and aproximately how much money they send back home. I appreciate these photographs because I know many people friends, family, and neighbors that do the same thing. I always respected them for what they do and only inspire me to appreciate the life that I have. Including my parents, I appreciate everything they've done not only for themselves but for there families and children. I think this project is great. Its good to see photography have a political stand and show that the majority of immigrants are only looking to better there life, like everyone else. Human nature to find happiness no??!

Sometimes it might not be easy to watch, but a revolution rarely is.

..because of the way you look at it, think about arizona. this could be happening now.
