this one was taken after the recortadores -a sport in spain where men flip over/ dodge charging bulls. it happens in a bullring but nobull gets hurt. as far as i can tell these old timers were arguing over the ins and outs of said flipping. and then one of them did one!*

heartbreak

suggested listening: all of this

there's nothing sadder than a dog in mexico. there's nothing cooler than a dog in mexico. mexican dogs get to hang on roofs. maybe they have house parties up there like in friends and the secret life of us (yesssssss). but also maybe stuff gets tough. take, for example, this guy here. not the fella having a snooze. the one staring at the wall. oh my god. that is sad. i also remember that day that we got followed by one little dude. he was my friend. i hope he was a friend to the heartbreak kid.

nicholas was my everest. cats. not much. but nicholas. i tried. one day i found him on our balcony staring at the middle distance. not at a shadow. not at a bird. at the nothingness of the future. he saw me. but he chose the nothing.
