Hey, go watch the video on Deejay Wheelie Bag's page on The Selby - the latest one. I just feel that when we feel like shit, or feel let down by our surroundings, these pockets of inspiration existing online go such a long way in making me feel happy, and I hope it can do the same for you.
You gotta check out the home of Jennifer and Mike too. I mean, just that front page shot alone is priceless. It may be tacky (how much tackier can you go from a guy in a hamburger suit) but it's not even about that. It's not about Art, it's not about good taste or bad when you get down to it. It's about delighting in what you love, and the exuberance you can see in people's eyes. It's about spirit. I value these so much...but sometimes it's not that easy to get across. And when I complain about Singapore, it's only because people here seem so much like androids and it kills me. It's never my intention to come across as a whiner, although I'm aware I do. Sometimes.
Sometimes, we like to know and see that genius, brilliance and happiness exist. It's almost crazy how happy it makes me seeing all those pictures on The Selby. But it's things like tutus hung up to form a rainbow, a teepee in a living room, octopus lamps, or even just framed pictures strewn all over a wall, that are poignant reminders of how life ought to be lived. And that is something I seem to have lost sight of recently, so reminders like these I hold dear.
