“You know it’s always good to talk and keep in touch with people you care about but that value, hands down, doubles when you can reconnect and realize that they are having to dispense with the same, damn, daily bullshit you do. ”

It is the creation of humor and the need for those to spread it that truly enlightens us all. I believe that when we can laugh at anything and everything we can not only come together unexpectedly but also dispel the very worst and darkest parts of our greatest ideas and desires to make the world what we think it should be. -JK

“I am consistently amazed at how people that make it their business to do one certain thing… do that one thing so badly in every respect.”

-J. Keys

Going forward, sometimes, about the best you can do is hit a challenge head on and hold on tight. There are no nice parts, it’s just hard.  Its important, though, not to give up; on your options, the total realm of possibilities and the things that matter more than the circumstances. Its easy to declare war… it may even be necessary to fight one… but I’ve never been a part of one that wasn’t a mess or that didn’t have casualties. The former you can usually cleanup, the latter you just lose.  -J. Keys

The hardship of our past, the fine wine of our lives…
By J. Keys

Today: The hardship of our past always seems so long ago when it was really just around the last bend; just as the challenges in our future and our hopes to make it another year, stronger, are indeed around the next. -JK

I think this kind of thing defines the fine wine of our lives. Those memories and reminders that always last and continue to call us, making and keeping us… for the better (As “Slide by the Goo Goo Dolls finishes in the background and “Dig” by Incubus begins) -JK

“You know all we have in the end is hindsight. The problem is we never use enough foresight to begin with which is what makes looking back so bad. People start pointing fingers, ‘should have, would have, could have’ done this or that. But the greatest problem isn’t what we should have done or what even went wrong –it’s what we must do next without screwing up all over again.”

“There’s a simple solution to everything, we just don’t often realize it until we try all the hard, wrong answers first.”

“You know you can spend a lot of your life trying to avoid the storm and it won’t do you one bit of good. The storm will wait or it will find you… so just go. Wherever it is, whatever the time… just go. Because you’ll never be that smart or that quick and the storm only wins when you hide away from it.” – J. Keys

“I’ve often been asked why I shoot images reflected by a mirror and the only reason I can ever think of is the fact that a mirror never lies; it shows you exactly what it sees which is exactly how I approach every creative work I produce.” – J. Keys
