what i woke up writing
Being A Nomad Isn’t A Terrible Amount Of Fun.
People Can’t Tell Or Don’t Realize.
I Look Painless On The Outside.
The Title Is Really The Best Part.
The Assumptions Of Knowledge and Craftiness, Motorcycles And Independence.
It Sounds So Solid. So Clear.
Waves Are Forgotten. It’s Not a Freeway Where You’re Either Going The Right Way Or The Wrong, But Know...
8:32-9:42
Old loves new loves. The wind howls outside. My mind howls inside. Past conversations, future explanations. Leaves shake and fall. Instant oatmeal, the crunch of a solo ice cream cone. I am searching. For an artist. A thinker. The wind. A dentist. Humanity’s strength and greatest weakness is a memory. I crave mint tea. The wind howls. An owl with a headache, flying into walls....
best advice of the day:
“So sit back, turn on the stereo, and let the dulcet tones of your favorite crooner chase away your toothache blues.”

Dear Kind Soul Who Left Dryer Sheets In The Laundry Room,
I upon the urging of others around me took one of the 40 you left on top of an unoccupied washing machine. I placed it in with my sheets and towels and never knew that such an incredible invention existed, which can sent and miraculously de-static.
True, I did already rather enjoy the rare luxury of sleep, but with the help of my now...
such a brilliant, beautiful, lovely and fantastic...

The Ode to Girls of a Theatre Man
The guy in my head is far too girly, considering his level of badass.
He speaks in verse, and occasionally pentameter, knows too much, and we’re tied for head of the class.
No one judges him for it, however, he’s anything but a bookworm,
He just takes a lot of notes, and life’s goal is to learn…
I swear he’s a pest to be around, absolutely selfish and antagonizing.
Well, I guess besides those...
resolution?
I’m going to buy a wooden box, and place lots of floating onions in it. I’ll cut a hole or two at the top, and throw in a pillow to soften it. A long book to read, possibly Harry Potter if I feel adventurous. But an early one, nothing heavy to make the trip dangerous. For I’ll climb inside and set myself off to sea, and wash up on an island waiting for me. I’ll...

“Don’t give me solitude Because I’ll have to try To dig among my thoughts To find a reason why. Please busy me with work. If there’s time let me drink. Give me philosophy So I don’t have to think. Create more stuff to buy; I’ll shop until I drop. Speed up the human race; I never want to stop. My Blackberry I need, Computer and TV, To occupy my mind; Alone I...
Diogenes
Basically the pest of the Greek philosophers. He often sabotaged Plato’s lectures, and was known for his philosophical stunts such as carrying around a lamp in the day, saying that he was searching for an honest man.
He was one of the few to publicly mock Alexander the Great and to lived, though he did end up befriending him years later, you know, after being captured by pirates and sold...
conspiracy theory of the day
big (insurance) companies give a minimum hold of 15 minutes for each phone call in order to better weed out those not quite desperate enough.
meanwhile they plot ways of transffering you as many times as possible, and making you hate them enough that you’re almost begging for a reason to give up.
…but i shall be victorious! i am a fighter.
