Arbitrary Madness. Artistic Exploration. Dope Things.
I can’t wait until I fall for this amazing guy and then just as I think the butterflies will fade, he tells me he’s crazy about me and won’t let me go. I don’t want him to just be any guy, a temporary guy, a crush. I want him to be the guy that’s gonnaContinue Reading “Honesty”
I keep getting reminders to keep writing. Thank you! I need that because Lord knows I get distracted. For example, I walked away from this post and forgot about it for three hours. But I’m back and the same thought remains. It’s time to get out of here. This suburb, this job, my grandma’s house…but mostlyContinue Reading “Reminders”
Figured I’d get back on this blogging thing. I’ve been going through changes like crazy but one thing that remains the same is the existence of meaningful thought. I remember once upon a time I was like “eff money, get happiness”. Maybe that was less than a year ago? Life seems so easy when it’sContinue Reading “Changing Thoughts”
Gizmodo shared these amazing shots of a fox. They make me want to go out in the snow, sit for hours, and wait for nature to sniff on my camera. Well, almost. But I’m extremely jealous of the photographer. Check them out here: http://gizmodo.com/5979062/these-awesome-photos-of-a-fox-will-make-you-go-aaaaawwwww
This is not just a music video. This is a gorgeous artistic exercise. Fresh and clean as a suit and tie. I expect nothing less from one of the best.
I started this piece at the end of my senior year of high school. That would be mid 2008. I just finished four years later, exactly 100 years after the Cleveland West Side Market was dedicated. I’d like to think of my procrastination as commemoration. “West Side Market” 2008-2012Briana Johnson-SimsColored pencil on paper14 x 10.5Continue Reading “West Side Market”
I’ve got a lot of wordsEmpty collections of characters that lack the comprehension to serve my current interestSo from time to time I abandon youUntil I can regain appreciation for what you doYou tryAnd that is something of value But words aren’t artThey’re not windThey’re not a pulseThey can’t say a million things without sayingContinue Reading “Mute”
It kills me when people have so much advice to offer and so little experience. What I mean is, I dislike when people (particularly parents) want you to learn from their mistakes, but have no way of suggesting the proper means of going about a situation. And as for the critics, tell me I don’tContinue Reading “They Never Did It”
When one photographer finds another and the two of you decide to enter the dead zones in Cleveland you encounter real beauty. My brother and I were two such beings. A trip across the west side, the entire Channel Orange album and two boxes of pizza later, we hadn’t seen it all, but we hadContinue Reading “The Unseen”
I miss the summertime. The warm weather, the carefree afternoons, and trips on the rapid to downtown Cleveland for the heck of it. Cleveland isn’t bustling like New York, but it’s still got a lot of style. Me and Stephanie (pictured below) walked blocks across Downtown Cleveland just taking it all in. And it wasn’tContinue Reading “Oh, Where the Cleveland Rapid Will Take You”
