It's cold at the bus stop and I know that it's fall because I'm taking photos of yellow leaves turning red by the flash of a nearby stop light. And when I lock arms with Kit and lift her body onto my back she's able to soak in those same leaves as they contrast the darkening blue sky. But the mood changes when we board the number 9. There's ( Read more... )

1st check: the cop on Woodstock and 92nd, as he blocks the lane with my smashed up red car, sitting motionless ( Read more... )

I'm such a stubborn dreamer that I will force myself back to sleep for long periods of time just to wake up to remember a dream. It's much easier when I wake up the first time and remember right away, like today. I did not realize it until now. Long ago I would just avoid sleep because I had no faith in my dreams.

I had a pretty amazing time on my birthday. Dancing at Gaycation was full of dancing with free drinks in my belly, seeing friends, and an intense make out with a close friend, then concluding the night with some couch rolling... which may have been a mistake but I don't regret a thing.

tonights ex-girlfriend with Uno, Rum Balls, and Full Sail Amber

tomorrow nights talkative Jew with literary readings, a Hanukkah party, and some kind of beer.

It's a cold night in my studio, the attic of my parent's house out in the 'burbs. I'm bundled with a lit cigarette, RJD2, and some warm concoction of boiled ginger root, slice of grapefruit and lemon, all mixed in with orange liquor. Today feels like last year and I'm not sure how I feel about it. But sharing a movie at the 5th Avenue Cinema with a ( Read more... )

I finally got a steady job and I think it may be my dream job. If you've ever experienced warehouse work then maybe you'll understand that it has a lonely quality which I seem to thrive on. Of course, that depends of what sort of warehouse experience you've had. In the past, when I worked at Nike in Wilsonville... I would wake up at 4 in the ( Read more... )
