This Is My Home.

On an unseasonably warm November night in Manhattan on our way to get ice cream, we stumbled upon what appeared to be a vintage shop, brightly lit display window and all. As we began to walk in, a man sitting out front warned us that we were welcome to explore, but nothing inside was for sale. Our interests piqued, we began to browse through the collections the man out front had built throughout his life. This is a story of a man and his home.

It is beautiful moments like this that we wish to help organize. Capsule will be like your most humble and hardworking friend. We will help you contact all your friends and family through group text and e-mail, make sure everyone knows the correct time to arrive, allow you and your loved ones to photo share before, during, and after the event; and when the time comes, perhaps the next day, maybe a month, or even ten years later, you can revisit the Capsule and rejoice in the memories. All your communications and photos will be just as you left them like an old journal or scrapbook. Start a Capsule.

Cheers,
Team Capsule

These are the types of blog posts my boyfriend makes for Capsule.
I wonder how they’re feeling now about their decision to hire him…

As a sidenote, I’m about to look up this virgin show. What the hell!?!??

“Almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.”
- Steven Paul Jobs (1955-2011)

I saw this film while it was still in theaters, and it crosses my mind every now and then.
It’s almost painful to watch due to how affecting and painstakingly real it all is. It never ceases to bring out a bittersweet emotion.

An accurate depiction of a modern day marriage. A full display of how a once blissful love full of spark could change and drive a couple to so much confusion, pain and bitterness, even with the best intentions. A marriage that two individuals have tried so hard to cling onto. Nonetheless, life takes its course and people, relationships, circumstances… they all change. Love changes. No one is at fault, yet the growing differences in the two characters’ lives continue to attribute to the relationship’s downfall. The person you love the most can end up hurting you the most.

It’s a refreshing change to stumble upon a Hollywood film about romance that is more so real than idealized. There is no happy ending.

“You always break the kindest hearts with a hasty word you can’t recall,
and if I broke your heart last night, it’s because I love you most of all.”

Heart of Oak - Saul Artiga

Lots of productivity went on yesterday. It was nice.
Along with the dark banana shoot, I got some footage of Saul’s acoustic stuff.
