Once in a while, I'll revisit old favourites and they'll still make me feel the way I did when I first heard them. In this case, I thoroughly enjoy Harriet's Burbank music video, as I feel they've really captured the essence of the song. I appreciate the colours, the angles, the storytelling - all the thoughtfulness that went into it. To me, this is a music video beautifully executed. The video is bizarrely romantic and even though I've never been in love with a stripper, I want to run away with one now. 

P.s. the music video is slightly NSFW. Enjoy!

Tell me you don't like this shot, I dare you. 

She is the dreamiest bride-to-be stripper I've ever seen.

Sharing this little excerpt from my current read, The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle, as a great reminder to everyone that we only have a short stay on this Earth. Personally, I struggle a lot with the idea of time. Anxiety creeps on me. I get irritated. I get flustered. I worry. Overall, this non-existent time constraint controls me. Take a moment to breathe. That's all we ever need to do.

For whatever reason, I don't write nearly as much as I used to. Although my notebooks lay untouched, I hadn't really noticed I stopped. I mentioned this to someone and they said, "Maybe you don't write anymore because you don't need to."

*Long pause*

Damn. 

Those words couldn't be more true.

I'd like to start writing again; for a different reason this time - self-expression. I'm going to start a collection of screenshot moments that catch my attention or have impacted me, (bless the CMD+Shift+3 buttons, amirite?). Below is a powerful exchange between Nick Carraway and Dr. Walter Perkins in The Great Gatsby. Enjoy!  

I screencapped this at this exact moment they exchanged dialogue.

Nick Carraway: I don’t want to talk about this Doctor.

Dr Walter Perkins: Then write about it.

NC: Write about it?

WP: Yes.

NC: Why would I do that?

WP: You said yourself writing brought you solace.

NC: Yeah, well, it didn’t bring anyone else much solace and I wasn’t any good.

WP: No one need ever read it. You could always burn it.

NC: What would I write about?

WP: Anything. Whatever brings you ease. A memory, a thought, a place. Write it down.

This is an #ArtistAppreciationPost on cinematographer Marc Gomez Del Moral. He is the genius behind this catchy yet fittingly bizarre music video - an absolute pleasure to watch. I should mention it's NSFW. Enjoy!
