The Flaming Lips

“Do you realize that everyone you know someday will die?” The Flaming Lips has left this lyric embedded in the hearts of many people, but not everyone realizes this basic knowledge of human existence.

Myths are fictional stories use metaphors to present and explain a mystery in the world—the source of study for human nature.

of the Flaming Lips—until I was greeted by booming electronic music and cigarette smoke at its outdoor entrance. It turns out that The Flaming Lips were concluding the first day of TAG CDMX, a three day interdisciplinary festival that invites innovators from the realms of music, movies, design, culinary arts, and technology to discuss their creative process through various conferences, workshops, and performances. Earlier that evening inside the same stone Auditorio Nacional, director Spike…

Hero’s Journey CALL TO ACTION Blip. Blip. Buzz. Text messages one after another came on Asian Name’s iPhone screen. They read, “Where are you? We’re waiting! Don’t forget the vodka! You promised to bring it.” Instead of hurrying out the door, she slowly walked toward her dresser and stared at herself in mirror. Her narrow, oblong face with prominent cheekbones and that small cleft chin were so abhorrent. Her slit-like eyes were mere dabs of royal blue that sat below her excessively thick, dark,…

I lift my hips in encouragement and feel his every stroke land in the deepest part of my belly. He shifts forward, because he knows my body also, and swirls his hips, eliciting a long, low moan from me. He releases my hands to capture my breasts, pausing the ramming of his hips against mine to suck on them hard, pinching the skin and biting the tender swells. When he showers my shoulders and neck with kisses and love bites, I grasp and pull him into me. "Ugh, Jim, make me…" She please, and…

When brainstorming for my valediction I had many ideas such as a overly cheesy thank you, a super salty rant or even to just fill it with star wars quotes. But inspiration came to me before prom when I went to Dylan's candy bar and got a ginormous Jawbreaker. Over the last few days, I have been mindlessly licking and sucking on this Jawbreaker. Sometimes when you throw yourself at something over and over again things might go wrong. For example after battling this jawbreaker the last few days my…

As Mr. Wonderful held my head on his lap with one hand, he used the other hand to graze my body within reach over my clothes. I continued to talk until I wondered if I was talking too much. “You are so quiet. Am I talking too much?” I said, looking up at his face. He continued to move his fingertips over my clothes emphasizing my chest and pelvic region as he looked down at me saying “I am just listening and getting to know more about you.” He looked into my eyes with warmth and satisfaction as…

You moan. He moans. I want more you say. Then I'll give it to you he says back. He slips down dragging his tounge along you stomach and just above your... "ahh fuck" you say wake up. You try to slap the image out of your brain. The images of you pulling his hair or him kissing you passionately. "No no no no no no no" you get ready for the day to come and boy would it be a hell of a good one. You POV '' fuck fuck fuck" I'm late again. I can't even being to think of what I'm wearing so I…

There’s something addictive about him. The way that his voice made me feel warm inside. The way that his smile lit up my life like a Christmas tree. The way he would smile at the ground when he would get shy. When I would hug him, the way his scent overwhelmed my senses. Being in his arms felt like home to me. He was my home. It’s freezing outside, my body is as cold as ice. Mya and I are skipping and we’re going to Demarie’s house to smoke. As we approached Demarie, I go silent. I’m a really…

We were laying back in the back of the truck. Her hair was still wet and her skin smelled like salt. We were tangled together, covered in blankets and pillows. “The take-out is cold now.” She said, her voice barely audible. I groaned. The CD was still playing in the background. “If this is my last night with you” She started to sing along. “Hold me like I’m more than just a friend” She would litter the words of the song with random melodies and beautifully vibrattoed notes. Her voice was wild…

She pierced her lips into a straight line and put his paper in the curve pile of papers. "He's actually been improving if you asked me. If you even cared to look at the monitored homework, you would see as well." He bit his lip and placed a hand over her pen. "Feisty I like it." Diamond roughly snatched her hand from his and flashed her 15 carrot ring. He licked his lips and glared at the glistening moon through her window. "Hey babygirl." A voice boomed through the now quiet classroom. She…
