“Even now, it sort of feels like I’m the disappointment because I can’t play any one thing very well. I’m not a very good guitar player. I try to do a lot of things but that’s not the same thing as being technically good. But I don’t mind; the price to pay for being flawless is inhumanity. I like being the way I am, but I can’t play like they can. I don’t have a lot of contact with these people in my family.” Elliott Smith
Hey, I looked in your faq but I didn't see anything about this so I hope this is okay- where can one buy some good James Dean merchandise? I'm hoping to buy a well designed shirt in black
Of course it’s okay! forever21 often has some James Dean t-shirts (personally I prefer the men’s designs). And I usually look on ebay and etsy too because I find more interesting things on those kinds of sites. :)
“I was actually thinking about someone in particular on that one (Independence Day), which is really… I almost never do. Just a friend of mine from New York named Josh. It was kind of an optimistic song, sort of being like ‘Just relax! You have everything you need to be happy but you just got to wait a little bit.’ I was thinking of him when I made it up.” Elliott Smith
“Place Pigalle” is the name of a place where I’ve been happy.“

“Say Yes was written about someone particular and I almost never do that. I was really in love with someone.”

A couple of hours ago I had my appointment at a hospital specialized only in eyesight and they confirmed to me that I have keratoconus. A disease that affects the cornea in a gradual way that occurs mainly due to rubbing the eyes too much. My doctor told me that the only treatment I can apply is a laser operation which is a bit expensive.
Here are some pics of the total cost for my first (and I hope is just one) operation writtited by my own doctor.
It’s written in Spanish because I’m South American specifically from Peru. The translation says that my first and most important operation per eye is 5.800 soles which to dollar change in my country is 1,606 dollars and unfortunately I need to have a operation on BOTH eyes which the final amount will be 3,213 dollars. I know, is a lot of money and I don’t even gonna go to public service because they would left me blind because is so bad (Public service here sucks).
So I know I’m probably asking a lot and this pandemic situation is not the best for many of us. But if you even could donate me 1 dollar I will thank you so much, any amount is well received ❤️
