american apparel

without comments

you know i really dont spend alot of money on clothes i would honestly spend the money on film, or other things that are more important to me. 

hell i still buy my jeans at walmart im cheap. 
i cringe if i spend more than 5 dollars on lunch. 
i think mark rothko had the same kinda outlook on lunch if im not mistaken. 
well anyways which brings me to my point of this blog. 
i love american apparel tshirts. if you look they are at least 15 bucks for a a single tshirt. 
its crazy i know.
but i think for years i have always loved the feel of the shirts.
who cant love 100 percent cotton on there backs.
i need to buy some more when i get the chance. 
so anways im wearing one right now and i forgot how much i love them!

sometimes i really want to know how much i can get for my records, so i can buy a new camera. 

records are not even a thought anymore. 
not that i mind i just don’t care to spend money on records anymore i would rather buy film and cameras instead. 
sometimes i just really really want to sell them it would make less clutter for me anyways. 
maybe when i work up enough courage.
i mean i wouldn’t sell my rare stuff, stuff that actually meant something to me, stuff like dads old records as well as my jazz and other records. but there are some i feel like i should get rid of. 
its not that i have alot maybe only a couple of hundred but photography has replaced that spot that vinyl used to hold. 
and honestly i don’t think that spot will ever go back to records.

so last night Chloe and Talia were very restless and couldn’t sleep I don’t think I got to bed till 3 this morning, and I’m sure that Talia was even up later or I should say earlier.

Talia was upset and thinking about Chloe how much she has grown in the last 6 months.
It seems like everytime we turn around she is becoming more aware of the world around her.
Talia was thinking about Chloe’s baby book and how we have neglected to update it with pictures. She was really upset about this. I began to tell her to keep up with the blog or if she doesn’t want to do that write about it, write her feelings down.

I told her Talia you have always been a writer, and yes we have missed so many of those family portraits and nice little family setups but everytime I think of you I think of you writing, writing what is in your heart. Talia has always been a writer, she has always been one to express things on paper. not like me, I’m a visual person I need to see things layed out, explained.
I guess thats why I could never picture her with a camera or painting or drawing yes she has tried those mediums of expressing herself, but they always seemed to take a back seat to her pen and paper, I chose the title of this blog because everytime I think of this song I think of her.

honestly though I know she has so much to deal with throughout her day as a mother and just keeping the home in order as well as keeping chloe occupied is hard enough. Im sure the last thing she really wants to do is sit down and write about it.

but I hope that she doesn’t think that I’m saying anything mean about her I’m actually telling you the things I love about her, the things that made me fall in love with her the first time we ever talked together. Im hoping she reads this and understands that I am and always well be in love with her no matter what. and im sure Chloe will too no matter if she does or doesn’t finish the baby book or have all the squares filled in with pictures.
