Bio:
Even though I realise we’re in this culture that provides all these hopes and dreams for a future without ever allowing us to reach them – I’m still a terrible consumer. It’s like I’m a shareholder in life – always investing, yet knowing there’s a diminishing return.

Purchasing matching yellow jackets for each other at Wal-Mart is cute and sickening at the same time, but wearing them together the couple would feel more secure, and that’s the best they can hope for, because we know there is no security with work anymore – we can be fired anytime, however we believe there’s a chance that relationships can provide the security we’re looking for.

In the end, no matter how clean my room is, no matter how many times I exfoliate my face, I’m still going to die. Sometimes I feel so helpless to this situation – and so I turn to my playlists, I click on The Carpenters, and I see what life is, and it’s OK.

Darren Sylvester, 2006
