Life is a series of avoiding horrible situations until ultimately you're dead. That's how I feel about things.

Much of my youth was spent in the parking lot or inside a Dunkin' Donuts.

I've always dreamed of having a year-round haunted house.

You know, I'm from Boston, and in Boston, you are born with a baseball bat in your hand.

The scariest people are usually the sweetest.

'Hostel' is that's how I feel about what's going on in Iraq. There's people that just want money and people are being sacrificed for it.

I started my blog as an online diary. I moved to New York for a job, and I kind of wanted to keep my pictures all in one place. Also, I just love style blogs and wanted to join in on the fun!

Everything kills you, you're dying everyday. You're either dying everyday or you're living every day and I'm living everyday.

Kashmir has always been more than a mere place. It has the quality of an experience, or a state of mind, or perhaps an ideal.

It's only when you're alone that you realize where you are. You have nothing to fall back on except your own resources.
