I am on the quest to find a room mate to rent out a lovely yellow bedroom in my house near Commercial Drive. The room itself is about 11 x 13 feet, is carpeted, and has a window facing westward to views of downtown Vancouver and sunsets and maple trees. The 2 bedroom pad is the top level of an 88 year old yellow house on Victoria drive and 6th. Just a block away from stellar coffee shops, organic grocery stores, bars and theatres and a park and all that the infamous Commercial drive has to of...

Welly well my friends, the Vancouver arts scene has been quite benevolent to me lately. I feel somewhat ego-driven sometimes for this shameless self-promotion, but I also believe that visual art deserves more attention in this technological world overrun by flash and spectacle. A painting will never be as flaunting as a dance club or as glaring as a movie theatre, but it still holds the power, when combined with a bit of imagination - as it always has since the dawn of humankind - to shoot ar...

Friends, family, lovers near and far!
A new musical ensemble has been born out of the moss-lined alleyways and mountain views of East Vancouver. Come witness our trials, tribulations and moments of ecstacy in our reckless adventure to charm the world! If such grandiose narratives are not your cup of tea, do at least enjoy the fruits of our labour, the gift of music we offer to you:
One bright summer Nevada morning back in 2006, Atalay was wandering the desert in a drunken daze, guitar s...

Run like a race for family
When you hear like you're alone
The rusted gears of morning
To faceless busy phones
We gladly run in circles
But the shape we meant to make is gone
Love is a tired symphony
Tou hum when you're awake
Love is a crying baby
Mama warned you not to shake
Love is the best sensation
Hiding in the lion's mane
So I'll clear the road, the gravel
And the thornbush in your path
That burns a scented oil
That I'll drip into your bath
The water's there to warm ...

about me
If anyone asks you
how the perfect satisfaction
of all our sexual wanting
will look, life your face
and say,
like this...
When someone mentions the gracefulness
of the nightsky, climb up on the roof
and dance and say,
Like this?
If anyone wants to know what "spirit" is,
or what "God's fragrance" means,
lean your head toward him or her,
Keep your face there close
Like this.
When someone quotes the old poetic image
about clouds gradually uncovering the moon.
slowly loosen knot by knot the strings of your robe,
Like this?
If anyone wonders how Jesus raised the dead,
don't try to explain the miracle,
Kiss me on the lips,
Like this, Like this.
When someone asks what it means
to "die for love," point
here,
If someone asks how tall I am, frown
and measure with your fingers the space
between the creases on your forhead.
this tall.
The soul sometimes leaves the body, then returns.
When someone doesn't believe that,
walk back into my house.
Like this
When lovers moan
they're telling our story
Like this.
I am a sky where spirits live,
Stare into this deepening blue,
while the breeze says a secret,
Like this
When someone asks what there is to do,
light the candle in his hand
Like this
How did Joseph's scent come to Jacob?
huuuuuuuu
how did Jacob's sight return?
huuuuuuuuu
A little wind cleans the eyes,
Like this
When Shams comes back from Tabriz,
he'll put just his head around the edge
of the door to surprise us
Like this
