On Michael’s strong recommendation, I downloaded the whole album sound unheard. Now on my second listen through—it’s wonderful. Mesmerizing, rough music. It makes me think of dust and mountains.

Spencer (via Diana Kimball)

I took this photograph of my brother, Spencer Miles Kimball, on March 24, 2009.

On Saturday, September 26, 2009, he died from complications of an attempted suicide.

There are no words; these the only ones I could find.

I miss him so much.

“How hard it is to keep faith with ourselves is painfully evident in education, where everyone disclaims the fact-shoveling model of learning. And yet the unconscious metaphors by which we reveal our real convictions about education revolve more and more around the idea of downloading information or transmitting it from one database to another.”

“Now Buoniconti is sitting outside, as the Miami sun chases everyone else into the shade. It’s May, the school year is winding down, and the freshman has just come from class, wearing his white Johnson & Wales chef’s uniform, blue scarf pulled tight around his neck, HERMAN JACOBS name tag on his chest. They talk about the hit and its aftermath for the umpteenth time, but soon the two middle-aged men are bantering in that jeering ex-jock way, two guys who know what it was like to sink cleats into the dirt and feel young and strong and special.”

Pros: It was quiet

Cons: after i had it for a week it stopped working. the disk would spin and stop and keep doing it. none of my computers recognized it. while it was working the transfer rate was pretty slow.

“A sort of trespassing is involved in writing about other people, even when the writing is as gentle as one can manage, just as it’s a violation, however mild, to photograph a person, even though it’s in an artist’s nature to want to capture experience.”
