It hasn't rained here all summer, and when it finally does it lasts only a few minutes; only long enough to water the rose bushes and cause the window sills to bleed. But for a split second, as the rain falls down the shingles and the gutters, you catch yourself remembering the silver lining in the cloud, and then the few moments you have before it ( Read more... )

I wake up. Distressed and wanting another hour to dream. Ill at the thought of preparing myself for a day not worth enduring.

It had it's low budget ( Read more... )

I woke up cold and lonely, half naked and to somewhat of an empty apartment. It was nice outside, so I decided to take a walk. And I walked until the road met me halfway, then divided into some hidden brush where the trees hung overhead like canopies. I began to wonder just long enough until I thought I might've been lost, but it curved around and ( Read more... )

Another night of sleepless dreaming. I woke early, went shopping, and came back to la casa to nap. It was a nice day for walking outside, but i fell asleep instead. I just got done watching natural born killers. It was strange, indeed. And I momentarily feel the urge to listen to nine inch nails.
