UltraViolet 2011. I'm shooting for a cure. WTF are you doing?

This is my friend Violet (on the right).
She's not only absolutely BEAUTIFUL, she's super sweet, funny & she has an amazing personality. She's very special to me.
She also has Cystic Fibrosis which is a really sucky thing and I'm making it my personal goal this year to kick this disease in the froat and find a damn cure.
It's TIME already!

Maybe they are not stars in the sky, but openings for loved ones to shine down and let us know they are happy.

The National

I have to go back to New York soon...

...I left my camera bag there

duct-tape and soldered wires

My city's still breathing (but barely it's true)
through buildings gone missing like teeth.
The sidewalks are watching me think about you,
all sparkled with broken glass.
I'm back with scars to show.
Back with the streets I know.
They never take me anywhere but here.
Those stains in the carpet, this drink in my hand,
these strangers whose faces I know.
We meet here for our dress-rehearsal to say I wanted it this way
and wait for the year to drown.
Spring forward, fall back down.
I'm trying not to wonder where you are.
All this time lingers, undefined.
Someone choose who's left and who's leaving.
Memory will rust and erode into lists of all that you gave me:
a blanket, some matches, this pain in my chest,
the best parts of Lonely, duct-tape and soldered wires,
new words for old desires,
and every birthday card I threw away.
I wait in 4/4 time.
Count yellow highway lines that you're relying on to lead you home.
