www.urbanrusticnyc.com Stop in and say hello.
Here's some new Pansy Division stuff that is creeping around the iternet.
TRAILER FOR THE PANSY DIVISION MOVIE:
STUDIO FOOTAGE OF RECORDING FOR THE NEW ALBUM:
Who I'd like to meet: Today i will not second guess every word that comes out of my mouth and watch action
that passes through my hand. When i overanalyze my life it loses something. Life
is meant to be experienced first and understood later. When I pay more attention
to how I feel in the moment the actual life force flows through me without my being
in touch with it. I become locked in my mind running from thought to thought in
a crazy search for meaning. When I have a full body experience of life, what goes
though my head about it is secondary. I am alive and that is enough.
