New Orleans hasn't changed a bit. We had all been seperately before, but it was fun to be there together. We made our way up to Jackson yesterday and are hanging out with Chris and Brandon today. We made it for Jason's bachelor party (can you believe this man is getting married?) Poor Lizz, she's such a nice girl. Tommorrow morning we get to ( Read more... )

So I'm thinking that New Orleans is the fun part of Louisiana. We're not in New Orleans. That's okay, though... it's been an interesting few days. Let's just say that I didn't leave Dallas without a lot on my mind. Beth (the one from freshman year) gave me a little going away present that I won't soon forget. Is it okay to make out with an ex- ( Read more... )

Dallas is big and different from everywhere else we've been, but we like it. There's several people here from NM, so we'll be in town for a few more days. Melissa - we wish you were here! But I'm sure you're really suffering there in London :) Hopefully you'll be back in Dallas when we're passing back through next month.

So we've made it to Lubbock, Texas and actually decided to stay a while. We met a couple of cool people - Owen and Rachel - and have had a better time than we expected. We heard some local music and hit a coffee shop or two - there's actually a lot in this town. I guess it's because of the University (Texas Tech) which I didn't realize was here ( Read more... )

Me and the guys are ready to hit the road. Small town goodbye, hello freedom. What could be better? 50 bucks in my pocket, a duffle bag full of clothes from VALU-THRIFT (which cost me a total of $6.87), Patrick and Sam and the old family wagon (a 92 volvo to be exact - we call it the pimpmobile). Going East from Phoenix will take us toward the ( Read more... )

Summer is an interesting time. Working at the sno-cone stand certainly isn't rocket science, but it brings in money and that's all that matters. I feel like my life is so shallow sometimes, centered around myself. I want to go deeper and perhaps poetry is just the thing to take me there. Comments on this next piece are welcome, in fact, encouraged ( Read more... )

will it stop beating?

the rush of blood.

pounding.

thrilling.

ice cold Dr. Pepper.

meloncholy honesty.

she never loved me.

memories invading my heart
old ticket stubs
late nights on campus
her hand brushing against mine
river flows
eagle flying
soaring
landing on bench
heart ticking
stop

lots of time to write, let me know what you think. i like feedback.

grains of sand

between my toes
in my teeth
you, like the grit, all over me
invading within me
