ocean rain

i woke up this morning to sun beaming in through my blinds. i pondered for a second and then said fuck you, sun. and i skipped my first class. best enjoy the ability to sleep in for one more month, eh.
my advice for the day – don’t curse the sun.
my happiness was short-lived as the [...]

quick, quick

Its not a mirage – I am actually smiling a real smile.
Okay, well the smile may be a little forced but my eyes are happy. For real. Photo taken 13 minutes ago.
I just got back from an impromptu few pints at the pub. One of my friends is leaving to go back home and texted [...]

this far before

I can depress a smiling child with a bucket of candy on Christmas.
Just for the record, I would dump out the candy and hoard it, Grinch-like, into a sack for myself and hit the child with the empty bucket. Welcome to life, kid. It sucks. –Ali

this yogurt tastes like pie filling

I don’t normally sleep through the night, I believe waking up every so often is the reason I have weird dreams and also why I can remember them. I keep a notebook on my night table and normally jot down any interesting happenings in there.
This morning I woke up to a piece of paper that [...]

wine is bottled poetry

“We need to start transcribing our converstations.”
“I know, I was thinking the same thing so I bought a notebook and have been jotting down quotes. My favourite so far…” -Ali

crack, in a tiny pink package

I got my haircut today. I never plan haircuts. I’m what you’d call a walk-in.
I woke up feeling like crap, coming to the realization perhaps I do have sad eyes and will probably die alone…actually, I just had a headache. So I played hookie and puttered around my flat, did some reading and then decided [...]

keep the yoke

A warm body.
I am in need of one.

When wandering through a gallery I am always thrilled when I can decipher an etching, without the label.
And sometimes when I am staring at works through the glass, when no one is looking, I fix my hair.

My mom does gives “thumbs up” a lot. I have realized I [...]

ups and downs, lefts and rights

sometimes when i am drinking tea
without milk
i like to look in the mug
and believe for a second
its a wishing well
and that if i stare long enough at the lemon
swirling in the water
someone might hear my wish
tonight
i wish for resolve
and good health for a dear friend
yes, good health
i wish the same for others
every other [...]

hope

the wind is still crazy bad and starting to uproot the cemented down.
whenever i am walking in high wind i think of the wizard of oz. do you think everyone has a scarecrow-type person in their life?
i was thinking about this as i was watching labyrinth on the weekend, i had forgotten about the parallels [...]

kind regards

The wind is so unbelievably strong (i.e loud) right now. I’m looking out the window and the trees lining my street are defintely at 45 degrees. Yikes.
If you live a transient existence like I keep putting myself in, people drift in and out of your life quite regularly. However, if you know me at all, [...]
