Love this picture. Oldie, but a warranted favourite.
Looking out to Falmouth, circa 2K12.

Under Sexed/ Under Paid - excerpt

‘I got this lady, real tall back & bones situation, you dig? And this girl, she says to me, she says, “I can’t believe you don’t have the conviction to get something etched onto your skin that you really believe in, baby. I can’t believe you haven’t got enough conviction in something to get it placed under your skin.” Now this lady, legs, arms & face, oh, so wonderfully constructed face, she’s saying these things to me about ink & I’m shaking my head, no, baby, no.

And she says to me, she says “Baby, I love that I believe in something strongly enough that I’d have it etched into me forever.” And I said, “Baby, I love that I believe in something strongly enough that I don’t have to.”

The Place Beyond the Pines

Just where is The Place Beyond the Pines?

Is it in Ryan Gosling’s electrifying charisma?

Is it in Bradley Cooper’s exponentially improving acting chops?

Is it, indeed, just beyond the wooded plains of Schenectady, New York?
