Falling apart
ripping at the seams
the division of inspiration and motivation
like a rift between past and present
unmoving, unshaking, unflattered and unpliable
the tuft of cotton spilling over

Happy 23rd Birthday
Age is written on the wall, charred by heat of passion and rage, blurred by settled delusions and dreams, and dampened by the desire to transcend.
This is the life.

Lesson learned: I need another job. -
Flowers in Babylon
A long time has passed since my last post here in livejournal, although it seems like barely a day that I was living my narrative in my previous entries. As the year 2005 draws to a close, the holiday season brings a unique kind of quietness and stillness often missing or ignored or unsought throughout the previous months, and it is through this ( Read more... ) -
Life as a violin composition
It's pluck reverberates through time and echoes in our present senses, washing over us like invisible toxins yet cruel and forgiving when need be.

Years upon years upon years I've played my ( Read more... ) -

Don't you hate when you think that no one else is in the public bathroom and you take a really noisy dump, then suddenly someone a couple of stalls down gets up, flushes the toilet and leave? -
