Fiction

There's nothing like fiction, telling the story how it happened or didn't happen or making one of your own up. One of favorite ways to hear a bit of fact or fiction from a book, magazine or newspaper is when someone reads it to me... so here's a 300 from the archives about reading a bit of fiction.

Do you like to read? 

Enjoy!

Read to me

1-5-2011

Read to me. Of course I could read to myself. But it’s what I prefer. I prefer to listen while you read. You know how I love it when you do read aloud. I’m not sure what it is but there’s something about the way a man's voice sounds. And there’s so much passion behind your words when you say them. Besides, I’d love to hear what you’ve been immersed in. If you won’t read it to me then tell me a little about this book. This book that captures your attention while we sit here and say nothing. Oh I see. Is it interesting? Yes, I have read it before. But I’m asking what you think. I want to know what the story is like through your eyes. How does it make you feel? Tell me… are you enjoying it? No, Honey. Shh. Not like that. Please stop. Just… That’s not the point. Keep reading the book. I don’t want to read it again. Although the idea of listening to you read it aloud sounds much better. Please, will you read it to me? The sound of your voice calms me. And it’s such a lovely story. Speak and let your lovely voice carry the words to my ears. And you can make yourself comfortable. Like? Well, you could lay your head on me and kick up your feet on the edge of the chair. Then I’ll rub your neck while you tell me the story. Why? So you can relax while you’re reading. Don’t you want to? I can see that you do. How? Lower the book. Now look me in the eye and tell me otherwise. See, you can’t. Darling, come on. You know you want to give in. Tell me a story. Please. Read to me?

Film

 

Film is fun to photograph on and fun to watch movies on. Immortalizing moments can happen any way you want. There's is no right way to live. Some people never get around to having a drop of alcohol in their life and they don't feel like it's a loss. So... If you never try something maybe you aren't missing out? Don't let someone make you feel like you are missing out in life. Here's a 300 from Aigua.

Do you love film? 

Enjoy

Film

 

“James Dean,” he says as I pull my headphones out of my ears.

 

“What?” 

“Rebel without a Cause. Playing later. Wanna go?

“Huh?” I shrug and take a sip of chilled water that’s been perspiring in the glass on the formica table.

Showing me a photo in a magazine, he laughs and says, “You know, it’s a film with James Dean.”

Smiling I think about the last time we talked about films. I asked him to join me on a rainy afternoon and he said he had something else to do but that was only an excuse because he simply didn’t want to go with me. Laughing to myself I recalled how he took Janice Ottomeyer the next day and casually slipped it into conversation a few days later to see if I’d care. I could’ve cared less who he’d taken if it wasn’t me. 

“What are you laughing at?” he rubs my shoulder. 

“Nothing.” I smile and try to avoid his gaze by picking up the magazine to lock eyes with the iconic screen god. 

“You’re not looking at me, it must be something.” He whispers into my ear before poking his head around my shoulder and trying to feign jealously over James Dean. “What’s James telling you about me? Telling you the truth, that I’m making excuses about his lousy film to get you alone?” 

Giggling, I put down the magazine and push his hands away, “Don’t be silly… It’s hardly a lousy film.”

“Well then what is it? Why don’t you tell me then?”

“It’s nothing.” I repeat myself and knock the glass of water that spills across the screen legends perfectly chiseled silhouetted face. 

“Well, if you don’t want to go see the film with me… I could always take Janice again.”

“Alright, let’s go.”

 

Style Icon: James Dean

James Dean. One of those fellows that I absolutely LOVE! They don't make them like that anymore. And everyone knows a little about JD. Phil Stern took the photogs. If you want more visit the James Dean Page. Otherwise Enjoy this. 

Of course there's a story... It will come. And of course there's a 'James Dean'-esque one tossing about from a month or so back. I'm pretty transparent sometimes. M.
