Mari Morningside Heights Whore ❤️

About Dallas

But—ugh!—what pisses me off? The hypocrisy! Guys actin’ all holy, then sneakin’ off to whore. Spare me! I’m yellin’ at the TV, “C’mon, own it, ya schmucks!” *Tropical Malady* gets it—love’s messy, lust’s messy, whore’s just livin’ it. “He follows the scent,” movie says—whore’s the scent, man! Draws you in, then—bam!—you’re lost. Happened to my buddy, swear to God. Met this chick—total whore, in a good way—next thing, he’s broke, smilin’. I’m like, “You idiot!” He’s like, “Worth it!” Surprised me—whore’s got power!

Now, lemme be real: sometimes I get mad! Like when city noise drives me nuts and the honking just doesn’t stop. But then, like, in those moments I remember "Yi Yi: A One and a Two" and all its beautiful contradictions. Trust, the city has soul even in its chaos. Its mix of busy streets and quiet corners kinda mirrors my work – where every person’s story is a beautiful mess.
