My dog is a rabbit

A dog has no use for fancey cars or designer clothes and big homes
A water log stick will do just fine
A dog dont care if you are rich or poor
Clever or dull
Smart or dumb

Give him your heart
and he will give you his
The End

"My dog's a rabbit"

A Very English Summer

Having spent the spring in New York I am currently enjoying the English summer time. My English summer started with a BBQ at Jims house. An 8am swim at a Lido in London Fields. The Local Natives first UK tour (old friends from California) I took a roll of film this weekend that I am still waiting to develop..the contents is a mystery...(to me that Is the beauty of shooting on film)..combine that with K cider and the mystery of the photos taken is multiplied. I love a surprise.

LATITUDE FESTIVAL JULY 2009

Eyelash

An eyelash had fallen on to his cheek
I took it on my finger tip and said blow it,
now make a wish..
and secretly I wished he wished for me

Amsterdam

I'm gonna write you a letter
I'm gonna write you a book
I wanna see your reaction
I wanna see how it looks

From way up on your cloud
You're never coming down
Are you getting somewhere?
Or did you get lost in Amsterdam?

Don't you know me? Don't you know me by now?

Macon Street

i-pod shuffle always throws up some treats. (Although I haven't put anything new on my i-pod in years. I thought I updated it before NYC to discover all of the new music remained on my computer and none of it made it to my i-pod.) But sometimes you pick music to listen to on purpose....This is the result of getting hypnotised by old Cavil At Rest songs....my very favourite band from California. Brings back memories of the drive to Vegas and Leeann chucking the CD out of the window for having it on repeat (there were only 3 tracks haha)








We found an art shop and got some water colours this was our first art exhibition. Theme = Love tree's. Our street was voted Greenest block in BK. Let the love Grow

Have I been a fool?

We made amends but nothings mended
As what I gave can not be mended
I led you on but leadings wrong

I made a meal of it and stumbled
We both knew that my cookie crumbled
I led you on but leadings wrong

A kiss is just a kiss
I think that's what fools say
But that is what this is

Have I been a fool? Just say,say, say
Have I been a fool? Just say
Have I been a fool? Just say
Have I been a fool? Just say

You made a mountain of a molehill
Well that's what I will tell myself still
I led you on and leadings wrong

I made a meal of it and stumbled
We both knew that my cookie crumbled
I led you on but leading's wrong

A kiss is just a kiss
I think that's what fools say
But that is what this is

Have I been a fool? Just say, say, say
Have I been a fool? Just say
Have I been a fool? Just say, say, say
Have I been a fool? Just say

I've been told I'm cruel
Due to what I do
I've been told I'm cruel
To you

Have I been a fool? Just say, say, say
Have I been a fool? Just say
Have I been a fool? Just say, say, say
Have I been a fool? Just say
Have I been a fool? Just say



This song came on my i-pod shuffle whilst I was painting and hanging out with my sister. I love the way certain lyrics speak to you.

I dont think a kiss is just a kiss. I went to a party with someone I was seeing, a few months back. We still clearly like each other. This guys friend kept saying how gorgeous I was. he asked me in front of the guy I was with if he could kiss me....

A kiss aint just a kiss..

You're Crazy

La La La


You're crazy, hey, hey
You know you're crazy, oh my!
You're fuckin' crazy, oh child
You know you're crazy
Ay,ay,ay,ay,ay,ay,ah,ah,ah,ah, yeah!

Because it was polaroid I really wanted to get my jump right. I very nearly broke my face coming back down. But it was my best jump ever.

The Worlds Greatest Lie

"It's a book that says the same thing almost all other books in the world say." continued the old man. "It describes peoples inability to choose their own destinies. And it ends up saying that everybody believes the worlds greatest lie."
"What's the worlds greatest lie?" the boy asked, completely surprised.
"It's this: that at a certain point in our lives, we lose control of what's happening to us, and our lives become controlled by fate. That's the worlds greatest lie."

"Why would a king be talking with a shepherd? the boy asked, awed and embarrassed.
"For several reasons. But lets say that the most important is that you succeeded in discovering your destiny."
The boy didn't know what a person's "destiny" was.
"it's what you have always wanted to accomplish. Everyone, when they are young, knows what their destiny is

"At that point in their lives, everything is clear and everything is possible. They are not afraid to dream, and to yearn for everything they would like to see happen to them in their lives. But, as time passes, a mysterious force begins to convince them that it will be impossible for them to realize their destiny."

(The Boy wanted to know what the mysterious force was)

"It's a force that appears to be negative, but actually shows you how to realize your destiny. it prepares your spirit and your will, because there is one great truth on this planet: whoever you are, or whatever it is that you do, when you really want something, it's because the desire originated in the soul of the universe. It's your mission on Earth."

"Even when all you want to do is travel? Or marry the daughter of a textile merchant?"

"Yes, or even search for treasure. The soul of the world is nourished by people's happiness. And also by unhappiness, envy and jealousy. To realize one's destiny is a person only real obligation. All things are one.

"And when you want something all the universe conspires in helping you achieve it."

"People learn, early in their lives, what is their reason for being," said the old man, with a certain biterness. "Maybe that's why they give up on it so early, too. But that's the way it is."

Tooth paste kisses

Cradle me
I'll cradle you
I'll win your heart
with a wit woo
pulling shapes just for your eyes
so with toothpaste kisses and lines
I'll be yours and you'll be

Lay with me, I'll lay with you
we'll do the things that lovers do
put the stars in our eyes
and with heart shaped bruises
and late night kisses
devine

Pleasure Tears

When I walk I skip
When we kiss we dance
When it rains I stay dry

When my tears fall, it's not sadness
there pleasure tears

My skin is warm, but it tingles at his touch
The hairs on my arms stand up
He is making me come alive

Last April- Union Square

I went to New York for my 24th birthday. To meet my younger sister who had been studying in Toronto for the year..
We arranged to meet up at union square park...it was not succesful. I was in one park, and across the street is another smaller Union square Park. She was in that one. We both thought we were right,and were both annoyed having had to wait for the other. She thinks I always leave her waiting...she's kinda right. So this time I made sure to be early. Ended up taking a bunch of photos while I waited.

Later on we went to Central park. I was wearing my favourite long dress from H&M it drags on the floor and collects the dirt. BY the end of the day my feet were black.


Thsi year in New York, an exact year later, I saw the same man, that I saw that day. I named him the eskimo man, he was sort of dressed like one it was a boiling hot day. He was dressed the same a year later. it's funny how you get to see familiar characters in new York, i have noticed that this time round especially. I guess everyone has their ahunting grounds..

This guy in the photo is not the eskimo man incase you were wondering...

The Garden is our beach

I like Summer alot. I wish that I could always have a six week summer holiday. Personally I prefer the Spring time to summer. I was a spring baby, and I've always found Spring quite magical.

Each time I leave England and then return, I'm always struck by just how much I do love English Summer time. It's all about the back garden.....Parks, beer gardens, Cider and summer dresses. England really does look good in Summer.

Love Saves The day

I'd wear your black eyes

I'll always be by your side
Even when you're down and out
I'll always be by your side
Even when you're down and out
I just wanted to be your housewife
All i wanted was to be your housewife

I'll iron your clothes
I'll shine your shoes
I'll make your bed
And cook your food
I'll never cheat
I'll be the best girl you'd ever meet

And for a diamond ring
I'll do these kinds of things
I'll scrub your floor
Never be a bore
I'd tuck you in
I do not snore

I'll always be by your side
Even when you're down and out
I'll always be by your side
Even when you're down and out
I just wanted to be your housewife
All i wanted was to be your housewife

I'd wear your black eyes
Bake you apple pies
I won't ask whys
And i try not to cry
I'll always be by your side
Even when you're down and out

I'll always be by your side
Even when you're down and out
And its nearly midnight
And all i want with my life
Is to be a housewife
Is to be a housewife

'Cause it's nearly midnight
And all i want with my life
Is to die a housewife
Is to die a housewife

Read with eyes closed

Maybe with my eyes closed
My heart was closed
Because I couldn’t see the truth

I opened my eyes
Things became clearer
I finally could see the truth

Now with my eyes open
My hearts open too

Open to heart ache, open to loving
Open for me to get hurt!

It took me to see me
See who I was, see where I’d gone
To be able to see a way back

But now things are brighter
Everything’s clearer
And I think I have fallen in Love

Mother Toilets..I'd say!

Ian Stevenson's Mother toilets. These are the mother of all toilets,i wana pee here bad! There is nothing I love more than discovering a toliet with the most fun and funny stuff written inside it. Just to make you smile/ laugh while you go. I think that this is genius.




Wash your hands

ps. maybe you have to see more to agree so here is one more.



ROAR ! what lady wouldn't crack a smile after seeing him under the sink

Don't Go

I loved him.
It was the first and only time I had experienced love at first site. It was instant. I was ready to give everything. I was selfish and I didn't care who I hurt. I wanted him. His love was all consuming wrapping me up like a blanket. I couldn't even see anybody else. Was there even any body else in the room with us, ever? I think we just saw each other.
I loved him.
He loved me back.
He'd say dont go.....
and I knew he meant it


Never were there truer words spoken!

I saw this picture and saved it for him as his wall paper on his lap top.

Do all good things have to come to an end??

Cities of Love: Paris

Las Vegas

I love Vegas. It's always a random sticky experience, but then I have only ever been there in summer! I cant imagine anywhere could be as sticky as England is RIGHT now.
