i miss making cassette tapes for my friends. i miss getting mix cds. i’m feeling bluesy and eclectic today. 12.21.09 ben kweller/sawdust man sigur ros/saeglopur the little ones/cha cha cha the whitest boy alive/dead end kasey chambers/pony lafcadio/slave to the muse metric/help, i’m alive heart/straight on for you
my thoughts are so scattered lately. i think it’s from working late days and staring at a computer screen, doing next to nothing. my vision blurs every few seconds, like i’m trying to tune out a bad tv show. i want to get away. i need to get away. i belong in the light, dancing and twirling to my music. i don’t want to go alone, though. i need a bestfriend for an adventure like...
cold and rainy.

me: you know that song 'one toke over the line, sweet jesus?'
ari: yeah.
me: i thought it was 'one toe over the line.' and then i realized what the lyric actually said and now it's like ten times more better.
ari: more better? really?

i have been surrounded by the most incredible people-my friends. people who don’t tell me that what i’m doing is wrong, or crazy, but people who are doing what they love and want the same for me. they are reaffirming my decision to be anything and everything i dream of, and i appreciate it so much.

it is time to go.
i am trying my hardest and giving, giving, giving until my head and heart hurt and i can’t do any more, to end up in the same situations, over and over. i can’t keep saving everyone else. i’m drowing here.
edit: i am not giving up. i am doing the best that i can to see the good and light in everything, and as for the rest, i will happily leave it behind when i can get away.

I re-blogged this as the way it really is, instead of being written from a conservative point of view. My annotations start with an asterisk *
I don’t speak for all liberals, I speak for the cool ones.

We Can See It with Our Eyes Closed, Joy Harjo
poetry365:
You ask me what I am thinking when we make love
and our eyes are closed and the sun is climbing halfway
to the roof and the neighborhood dogs are all in love
with the spirit dog who makes the rounds and tortures them
with dreams of hills and running with the smell of heat
and then the train adds to the song of progress
making a web from city to city,
backdoor to backdoor and I...

Your photography is a record of your living, for anyone who really sees.
