Tonight, Tonight

By Nathan Caleb Camerer Saturday, December 26, 2015 Tonight, Tonight I get excited every time I see you It starts before I see you Sweaty palms and weak knees I have hard time tying my shoes Nothing in my closet is good enough I thank God every time I see your morning face You make me a believer I did something right somewhere at some point You deserve more than I have My world is a better place with you in it I know it's temporary I know it's only for tonight Let's do something we've never done tonight Keep your clothes on and use my shoulder for a pillow I'll use the small of your back as a parking spot for my right hand We can see how well yours fits my left hand We can let them lay on my chest Use them as a metronome to get our breathing in tune Your left hand can act as additional padding between you and my shoulder Perfection is in the eye of the beholder Tonight I'm the beholder of perfection But only for tonight Tomorrow it's back to your world Tomorrow we're back to being just friends I crave more than that I keep my cravings to myself though The excitement is like a drug The excitement of seeing you I'll keep tripping over my shoelaces because I couldn't tie them right That means I get to see your morning face Happiness is a warm gun And you're the hottest pistol around Tonight, tonight Tonight I'm the luckiest man alive I've found Heaven on Earth Heaven is you and the Earth is me Just for tonight Tonight the planets are aligned properly I'll get to see the dark side of your moon Or show you the dark side of mine I'll walk the soles off my shoes to park my soul next yours But only for tonight Tonight is all I have Tonight is the best night ever Until the next night I have you Until then, I'll dream about you I don't want to dream about us I don't want to dream about you Don't let me dream about that Make my dreams a reality Tonight... Tonight, tonight...

February

“...Two feet of snow Ten lazy days of house arrest Spent learning about six years of anatomy A child’s laughter is accompanied By paw prints on the floor...”

A powerful spoken word and video by Prince Ea and Stand For Trees that really puts our presence on this beautiful Earth into perspective. This is an awesome piece that sums up how we’ve taken nature for granted and why it’s so important that we start giving back. Take a look and while you’re at it, check out StandForTrees.org and WaterDefense.org too!

Poetry Thieves

Hey all, just wanted to touch on a topic that has been coming up on tumblr a lot lately. It seems there are accounts on tumblr that like to take other people’s work and post them as their own. Sometimes without expressing who wrote them, and other times claiming them as their own. I’m about to put someone on blast. An example hit me in the face today when I read the poem (circled above) on my dashboard posted (but NOT written) by @andromedainwonderland… http://andromedainwonderland.tumblr.com/post/131740516413/you-proud-of-yourself-your-ignorance-your-scorn  (It has since been taken down) And then went to my #PardyPrompt page and read the same poem, only written better, by @themagicinmypen, the original artist of the actual piece. http://themagicinmypen.tumblr.com/post/131740248489/proud It is NOT okay for @andromedainwonderland to take someone’s work and rephrase it a little then claim it as their own. It is also not okay for anyone to post someone else’s work without sourcing it or at least linking/crediting it. I’m usually not one for putting people on blast, but this was just too blatant. I had to speak up. I urge everyone to check out @andromedainwonderland to see if they have done this to anyone else. And if anyone has their own story of theft to add to this (by any tumblr user), please feel free to tell it in a reblog. Sarah Update: @andromedainwonderland has claimed this to be a coincidence, is shocked by their similarities, is apologizing for the post and has removed it from their blog. Take it for what you will.

To Fight Inequality, Turn On Clean Energy Everywhere

Much of the world is still held captive by last century’s dirty-energy system that has a long history of locking inequality into place, economically and politically. Look across the world and you will find the vast majority of people subject to the whims of a very few…

Untitled #12 (July)

http://bynathancalebcamerer.blogspot.com/2015/09/untitled-12-july.html Untitled #12 (July) It was like fireworks the first time By the Berlin Wall A girl that was almost golden A slight look of innocence Then a look of a little bit older A little bit wiser Well, it's pretty to think so You're a stranger who's light came on slowly I'm a stranger with a homeless heart I try and cover your heart with my smiles I'd love to fade into you But I can't find you in this urban jungle A place where we could enjoy the last days of summer Sunbathing with a stunning redhead Find another warm place Go to Phoenix and walk around without a plan This JUST IN, Even though I know your name, I'm still unauthorized to know it If you ever find ginger in the desert it could be like ascension Like a child's kiss Like trekking the stars to deep space A place where 9 is the magic number to a still untitled event A place of love for always and never Can I catch you if you run round the world July is hot from start to finish From girl to woman Wearing a blue apron in the kitchen That boy Nigel is shy He is his mothers son Those jokes at the comedy club can put you on the ground Can you show me downtown LA That's where anything goes An incredible redhead who should spend more time poolside Put your glasses on so you can read my words They may come across as pulp Maybe they'll be junk mail I can still see your grey/blue eyes Maybe some day I can help you pick out what shoes to wear and we could go for a walk Until that day you'll be that redheaded devilwoman The one in my dreams I'll be the guy not wearing any pants In my dreams we are little lover's, so polite

RFK, Jr. Calls Koch Brothers "Deadly Parasites On American Democracy"

At this year’s Waterkeeper Alliance conference in Boulder, Colorado, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. delivered a provocative unscripted keynote that lambasted the carbon lobby for undermining democracy and subverting the common right to a healthy environment. Speaking to a group of activists, including more than 200 Waterkeepers from 30 nations, Kennedy declared, “We are engaged, as Abraham Lincoln said, ‘in a great Civil War.’” This...

A jeremiad against parasitic carbon barons, including the Koch brothers, who are subverting our democracy and destroying our planet. Nice one, Bobby.

Toxic Addiction

[jorgemujica]

These are Images of my solo show in Boston at Steven Zevitas Gallery. The show titled Double Dribble will be up till October 17 2015. http://stevenzevitasgallery.com/

Below is the press release.

Since 2008, Mujica has set out to create paintings that are free and independent from walls. He engaged in an intensive study of study of Minimalism, Pop Art, classical art, and the Mexican muralists in search of a painting surface that was uniquely his. Double Dribble represents the culmination of that search.

Intended as an homage to both Los Angeles, Mujica’s home city, and Boston, Double Dribble is a condensed recapitulation of the rivalry between the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers. As a young man, Mujica’s primary reference to cities outside of California were professional sports. For him, Sunday morning specials with Ahmad Rashad were an important bridge that provided him with cultural access to other parts of the country, and in particular to the legacy of the East Coast and the foreign concept of changing seasons.

The title of the exhibition is taken from a 1987 Nintendo video game that Mujica, admittedly, over-played when he was a young boy. Each freestanding painting is realized from a whole sheet of aluminum, which is then powder coated and uniquely embellished. The positive and negative shapes work congruently to reference painting and sculpture. Semiotically, each freestanding painting uses its title as a poetic reference, evoking the past while simultaneously raising one’s presence of mind. Each of the five designs aim to resonate with the energy and actions of the greatest Celtic’s: Bob Cousy, Sam Jones, Bill Russell, Larry Bird, and Paul Pierce; and Laker’s: Elgin Baylor, Jerry West, Wilt Chamberlain, Magic Johnson, and Kobe Bryant.

Mujica was born in Mexico City and presently resides in Los Angeles. He received an MA in Visual and Critical Studies from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2010 and an MFA from the Yale School of Art in 2012. This is Mujica’s first solo exhibition at Steven Zevitas Gallery.
