The Latest
Anti-Mag wants to introduce you to it's new look. It seems I'm forever getting ideas on what to do with the site. It becomes more difficult for me to keep the momentum going and I thought maybe I needed a little makeover. My mascara was starting to run. Maybe I needed to breathe new life in what I so passionately believe in. Please note there are some glitches to be worked out but they will be amended shortly. So, I hope you all like it and I hope you will continue to read and enjoy what I present to you.
And So it Goes...
The End of an Era
The King of Pop is dead. The Angel has bid adieu. The Sidekick has retired. It is such a weird day to be relaunching Anti-Mag, but I feel it is a significant occurance. I've been waiting for a change and think today is a catalyst. I just got back from Richmond and I can sentimentally say I'm not so stoked to be back here in New York. In the words of LCD Soundsystem, "New York I love you, but you're bringing me down." I'm not trying to celebrate my new facelift with sorrow, but in all honesty it's nice to be reminded once in a while of home.
There was a time when standing for something stood for something.

Usually when I go home it isn't a big deal...I see people here and there and try not to overdo it. This time was different. This time I felt drawn. I saw people I hadn't seen in almost 20 years and it made me feel lighthearted and warm. I saw friends who mean the world to me and even though I left with a purpose I feel as though I will always have this to return to. Through all my bitching and whining about the life I lead, it only seems ironic that I miss it so. There's something so strong about knowing the people in your life that will be there for the rest of it. There's something so nostalgic and good about never missing a beat with those you don't see so often. Perhaps it's the fact the time you are away from them, perhaps it's the bond you hold. Who knows. I know this, I know I feel a lot for it and it makes me happy. I love to call my friends my family and I know that no matter what I do in this life they will never take me for granted or leave me in the dark.
I've met people here who I love them same and I feel that in these times of hardship it is really incredible to have so many people by my side. So, I just wanted to say to my New Yorkers and my Richmonders I love you all and I'm very happy you've allowed me in your lives. I've been inspired because you are in mine. I hope with this new venture I seek that things will work out for the best. I will likely see that there are more important things in this life than money or a job or a conventional life.
