88 Ultra - Sirens

Employee | February 9, 2015
Sirens snuggles up on my hand like the tightest mink hobo gloves ever manually woven and kicks me in the domepiece like the feet of 1,000 cherubs: 500 gleeful, 500 morose. If balls have a face and my face has balls, Sirens kicked my balls in...

Employee | July 9, 2014
In my head, the place where secrets go to wither, hanging on to the vine of a low IQ, at least once-a-day I experience what I've dubbed the "Judd Nelson Rebel-Unity-Underdog-Sunset Fist Pump Of Temporary Social Victory." I used to want a "Breakfast Club" kind...

Atoms - Sands

Employee | May 12, 2014
Time: the pin in the perpetual grenade, the emptiness of night, the colors on walls, the smoke chasing the cigarette, the Mondays, the Friday, the holidays, the holy days, the essential void. Its countless holes stuffed with endless trivialities and turning...
