(Untitled)
So it's been a year since I've posted here. I don't know if I'll start again. Mostly I've been saving my thoughts for the corporeality and intimacy of the printed page, and I like how that feels, how it feels less like I'm doing it to please others who might be reading, and how there's no backlash of feeling mildly disappointed if an important post ( Read more... ) -
Perseids
Perseids last night, I pressed my face to the screen door, eyes fixed on the sky, and after some time one came, a bright silver streak almost directly in my line of sight. Tears came to my eyes, so this is what they talk about, these are the feelings I get to feel, after so many missed meteors, so much squandered time. One started in the sky ( Read more... ) -
A post I made in my physical journal yesterday.
Quiet day. Went outside when it was lightly raining to mail my voter registration form and it was so nice that I stayed. The rain on the rocks made them slick and dark-bright, reflecting a pale-bluish light, and the air was beautiful. I peeked at the underside of a low tree with tiny, close-set dark leaves; the interior was a thick layered criss- ( Read more... ) -
still need to register to vote
still need to register to vote because i stopped months ago at "party preference"; i really wanted to say "Independent" even though i'm technically liberal because the problem with parties and ideological groups in general is that once you identify with them, you slowly let the group's ideals dictate your actions with thinking them through yourself ( Read more... ) -
consumed
i don't even understand how or why things become popular but especially things like mustaches and owls, i mean they've been around forever but they've only recently started being trendy, why is this and how do these things get decided, it all must be some type of conspiracy theory, a tiny few executives sitting in swivelly chairs at round tables ( Read more... ) -
this is why i kind of hate shopping.
advertising is ridiculously annoying because it implicitly communicates that if you don't have their product your life will be miserable, but if you do all your probs will go away and people will like you and you'll be happy and shit and that's bs because happiness comes from inside you, cliche as it is, it doesn't matter how many things you ( Read more... ) -
things to tell
1) In the world I want, the books wouldn't tell who the author was until after the last page and after you're done reading all of it and feeling however you will about it based purely on the writing alone. Knowing the author changes everything. An otherwise flat metaphor becomes brilliance when a renowned name is attached to it, and a clever twist ( Read more... ) -
when there is nothing to think about, think about trees
There's this tree I see every day at school, or maybe it's two trees, and that's the thing, because all I want to know right now is if that tree is one tree that's grown apart or two trees grown together ( Read more... ) -
'Life's a dam that breaks'
I've been sick.*
For how long?
Since before I was born.
Really?
I was born yesterday.
You don't say.
I will die tomorrow.
Which is another way of saying you will never die.**
* I literally have to crawl from room to room if I don't want my lungs to go terrible and spastic and crackly like static from walking upright.

'The rich get money but never what they want. Find ourselves a new place to haunt.'
1) Today, while staying after school to choreograph, I glanced up the stairway leading to the upstairs room and noticed the other door at the top of the stairs, the one that was always locked, was open. Virtually everyone had left by then to take advantage of the half day and I was alone in the room. I walked through the open door; the stairs ( Read more... )
