Wes’s Life

Alright, ya’ll need to come to She-​Sha cafe and listen to some pretty sweet music with Stu and I. Call me if you are inter­ested!

“The world is a tragedy to those who feel, but a comedy to those who think.”
- Horace Wal­pole

This man didn’t know how right he was.

Sur­rounded by palm and frond,
Undis­turbed by all but warm breeze.
The white lac­quered Adiron­dack chair,
Has seen better days.
Worn and splin­ter­ing, coat peel­ing.
Des­o­la­tion over­whelms untouched sand,
Bits of boat here and there,
Amongst remains of five-​star and villa.
Sunset casts the sand on fire,
Embers of purple, orange and red.
Calm rests on the beach,
As the sun clings to the hori­zon.
It too wishes the moment eter­nal.
The sun slips behind infi­nite curve.
Moon and stars freed by cool night,
Remind me beauty is every­where.

Anyone who knows me pretty well, knows that I absolutely love music. iTunes openly mocks me claim­ing I have 21.7 days worth of music. Hey now, when did you stop count­ing in hours? Well, none the less, I typ­i­cally play music that suits my mood at the time…typically. You know, every now and again when I’m feel­ing happy, some­thing incred­i­bly depress­ing might slip in or vice versa, but major­ity of the time, you can be sure that my music is a reflec­tion of my cur­rent mood. Not like a per­fect mirror, more like a poorly-​made circus mirror, one that didn’t quite get the effect that the man­u­fac­turer was look­ing for.

Right now actu­ally I am lis­ten­ing to dZihan & Kamien’s Air­port, what a great song. Calm, cool and subtle; the feel­ing of inter­na­tional travel and explo­ration abound. Maybe it’s sup­posed to be Charles De Gaulle or pos­si­bly Heathrow…who knows? All I know is that I want to be there, explor­ing the country-​side and doc­u­ment­ing all of it with my camera.

Take a gander at my most pop­u­lar tracks on Last.fm to get a good idea of my favorite music. You can go ahead and click here to see what the heck I’m talk­ing about.
