From the notes: The Philippines
Something happens to me when I’m asked to speak or write about The Philippines.  I freeze up.  It’s not that I don’t have anything to say, it’s that I might have too much to say.  It becomes difficult to sort through all my thoughts.  Balancing my emotions.  But mostly I don’t want to sound stupid.  It’s too easy to sound stupid regarding The Philippines.  And...

an open birthday letter to Sade
REBLOG THIS IF YOU LOVE SADE. #SADE robertbolton: Times Neue Roman - Sade is in my Tape Deck Hi Sade, Like most of the people I get along with, I have this fascination, or infatuation, with you. We talk about you like a pegasus, like somehow impossible, lighter than love, yet pared to bare simplicity. Oversized earrings and understated beauty.  Few move with wave like you; there are fewer...
