The Comedy

More often than not I’m disappointed by movies as of late and often marvel that so many resources are squandered making barely mediocre semi-watchable films. I was pleasantly surprised by The Comedy. It’s a dark comedy about  New York City hipsters, entitlement, and being only able to express oneself through insincerity. It’s really a commentary …

 Often I stumble upon things that catch my eye and slightly  quicken my pulse. I think “I must have!” but I  quickly  remind myself it is but a flight of fancy and soon after the object of my desire is forgotten. Less often I come upon  things that  can’t be written off so easily, like  a well tailored  Abraham Moon blazer or a Royal Enfield Classic 500,  these items  come to dominate …

The War of the Mustaches

October 9, 2012

It had  been on my mind for several weeks but it really crystallized last Saturday  up in the mountainous countryside outside Busan. When my friend and I started our ascent  it was a humid day in late July filled the foul breath and piercing shouts of automobiles. You could see the heat and fumes dancing over the asphalt but as the road doubled back on itself and …
