"An artificial appropriation of different styles from different eras, the hipster represents the end of Western civilization - a culture lost in the superficiality of its past and unable to create any new meaning. Not only is it unsustainable, it is suicidal. While previous youth movements have challenged the dysfunction and decadence of their ( Read more... )

I've been on a pretty good streak of happiness lately, and, not to jinx it, but I could see myself getting to like things as they are. Liz and I's 6 month anniversary is this week. Granted, it gets in the way of me jumping down to Houston to see Mike, but I can rearrange things. All my worries about her (which, more than anything, are about myself ( Read more... )

And I want God to snow us in, freeze the cellphone snooze button tightrope walk
and let the satin sheet marks on my back remain forever
as tattoos of your warmth, a mark of our tight embrace.

This world is meant for two.

I am old.

Yes, i have more projects to work on, more due dates rolling in, but I will go insane if i don't take a breather tonight ( Read more... )

Dictionary.com's word of the day today was ERRANT. Despite the fact that this isn't an even vaguely difficult word, it sums up pretty much everything going on in my life right now. I'm searching for something that will give me respite from the storm, a change of fate, a glimpse of rain on the far horizon.

Or more literally, a way to keep caring ( Read more... )

Well, I screamed profanities at a girl and physically barred her from the front seat of her car because I didn't want her driving drunk (she was) and ended up essentially ruining my friend joe's relationship with this girl and making her pretty thoroughly hate me. I then returned and spent 15 minutes trying to keep my fraternity brother from doing ( Read more... )

I'm feeling good tonight. Not sure why, but i'm just good n' complacent. Saw Explosions in the Sky last night at Hogg Auditorium and it was four types of amazing. Wrote a cool song tonight with my close friends, went to the gym and ate Niki's Pizza as per the monday night ritual ( Read more... )
