YouTube – The Beatles Ticket To Ride
Live clip of the Beatles back in the day—amazing. Ringo is just the man in this one. His simple and ballsy style changed music more than people give him credit for.

September 29th, 2006 · Comments

I’ve decided to force myself to type some shit with my new work laptop because the keyboard is fucking weird and I can’t get used to it. It’s got keys in weird places, sort of like the face goiters around here.

She’s my fave
Undressing in the sun
Return to sea – bye
