The first day of October.  I always feel good this time of year.  It makes me feel more alive to see the world succumb to its annual death.  Cider houses nestled in colorful corners of hillsides puff defiantly warm smoke into the chill air and hint of humidity tastes all the sweeter for it.  Autumn is a transition.  It doesn't have the lazy flow of ( Read more... )

Hello.  I missed you.  I missed your curves and the way it feels to hold you.  But when I put my lips to yours we resonate together in this dark place below stone and earth.  I’m not sure how long we stayed locked together there.  The lonely nights, the hardened tears, and the sighing hearts.  Time seems to melt away until the only thing left is ( Read more... )

I must have looked silly to the hip kids hanging out at the fountain at one o'clock in the morning with their sunglasses and trenchcoats and bags of popcorn as I sat down in the road under a tree.  I don't mind though.  I thought the strife of a caterpillar needed an audience.  I cheered him along his path up a strand of silk that seemed to extend ( Read more... )

I was walking back to the dorm from chemistry today not particularly thinking of anything when all of the sudden all these wonderful words and poetic phrases started filling the empty space.  I told them to myself so I wouldn't for get them but moments later as I Froggered my way across an intersection they had dissipated and all that remained were ( Read more... )

The slight chill of fall is in the air today.  The wind crashes through the trees making the leaves do their final dance before throwing their dessicated bodies to the ground to give meaning to the season.  I came across a leaf whose colors suggested it had been shot and left to die.  It came home with me to rasp its last few breaths on the comfort ( Read more... )

I think everything's going to be ooooooooookay.

Thanks for that wonderful waste of time Jon.  This is what "laying" got me.  It was one image away from being a pencil sketch of two naked people on a beach.  Wholly disappointing if you ask me.  Amtrak just doesn't deliver like it used to.

Sometimes I just start lying and making things up so naturally that I can sit back and just listen to it come out.  I'll use an example which anyone who cares to know was either present to experience or has heard already but I'd like to write it down just so I can remember it.

So I was walking with Brooke, Andrea, and Tony and a storm was brewing ( Read more... )

I've decided that the combination of Zebra Cakes and going to bed at 2 in the morning makes for insane dreams.  When on the order of half your meals are Zebra Cakes something's bound to go wrong.  A couple of nights ago I climbed up into my precarious top bunk where I sleep most nights and after steaming a while in my jungle dorm I got to sleep.  I ( Read more... )

College.  Yeah.  It's not really anything unexpected.  Apparently blasting Death Cab and laying a pack of Zebra Cakes just inside a friendly open door isn't an effective way of meeting people.  Who knew?  Not to worry though.  I have back up plans.  I've heard acting drunk can work and there's always just not giving a damn and talking to anyone you ( Read more... )
