urban commentary




no one told me there was a competition


do not utilize strap-ons

i love my neighborhood / police everwhere, justice nowhere

dumpster of sentiment, at the pere lachaise cemetery


lasting love for an artist

smooches for oscar's tomb








behind notre dame was a bridge covered with locks that couples attach as symbols of love

and how!

crushed guinness

mona loo-sa






these faces were miles a part from each other, makes you wonder how many are scattered about





lost dog and deux magots

make words the beautiful lover of phrase


mike and dave agree


i loves me some super ass gyros


concert
