Just finished opening my presents…I think you know you’re getting old when your parents buy you a vacuum cleaner for your birthday. Oh well, at least due to their lack of creativity I will have lots of spending cash with which to purchase a new camera, a tattoo, or more likely clothing and red cowboy boots. Ah well, at least this brick of moleskins will keep me entertained, oh and new...
Well, as of an hour and fifty five minutes ago I am twenty years old. The wierd part is that I haven’t felt that young since freshman year of highschool. Hah.
Jesse James and Childish Villains
In the first floor hallway
in my footsie PJs
my brother falls to the carpeted rug
‘cuz i pointed a gun to his head
and swaggering I said
I am Jesse James
you are dead
I am Jesse James and you are dead
(but we both know that you’re not dead)
At the kitchen counter
in her Sunday best dress
mother chops ten tomatoes and cries
and as the red runs over her knife
I tell her everyone has to die
it just...

I’m really disheartened by the phone conversation I just had. One of the worst feelings in the world is knowing that someone has been told untrue things about you. It’s one thing to have a bad reputation, it’s another thing to have one you don’t deserve. Welcome home?
I’m learning that life exists at its best in tension, in unknowns. I’m embracing an impossibility every day, and it is more beautiful than I ever imagined.

its languid legs on my chest,
and yawned,
the unearthly opening
of grotesque
chomping jowls
and swallowed me
whole, except
for, of course, my feet,
those it left to freeze on
the doorstep
as beautiful bloodied stumps,
I laughed, sputtering
and guttural
at this absurd loss of motion,
and curled up in
the beast’s belly.
Your Laughter by Pablo Neruda
Take bread away from me, if you wish, take air away, but do not take from me your laughter. Do not take away the rose, the lance flower that you pluck, the water that suddenly bursts forth in joy, the sudden wave of silver born in you. My struggle is harsh and I come back with eyes tired at times from having seen the unchanging earth, but when your laughter enters it rises to the sky seeking me...
