Leaving notes for my tumblr followers:
I have quit drugs, hopefully for forever. I only smoke weed when I am drunk, and even then I only take one hit and nothing more. I don’t smoke batch very often, and I only take the occasional toke from a cigarette. I don’t see any good from this lifestyle anymore. Even though it was a good escape, I wouldn’t be able to live like that for ever. And I am taking a break away from school. Things have been getting under my skin and I need some time to work on me. Don’t worry, I’m ahead in all of my subjects so school isn’t going to be a problem.
Nothing else I want to say really,
bye.
I am deleting this account.
I hate writing things that my friends can see,
misunderstand,
and use against me.

If you’re in Los Angeles from now till August 26, 2012, make sure to drop by the Getty Center to see a major exhibition of photographer Herb Ritts’s work, called L.A. Style. The late Los Angeles-based photographer busted out into the scene in the 1980’s with his distinctive style. His incredibly striking shots of celebrities, athletes and supermodels were different because Ritts drew inspiration from a wide range of sources that included painting, sculpture, film, and the work of such leading fashion and portrait photographers as Richard Avedon and Irving Penn.
I have lent over $1000 dollars of my money to my friends over my lifetime. Most of it I will never get back. A few of them still say they are going to pay me back, but most of them never will. There wasn’t much reason to write this, but it’s been really pissing me off lately.
