You are what’s fallen from those fatal boughs.
Where will we go when they send us away from here?

random thoughts over the past few days
sometimes, i miss not having a tv. but it's probably a good thing anyway.
i miss food network though. and fuzzy animals on the discovery channel.
fuzzy animalsssss. fuzzzzzzzzzzzzzyyyy. but im allergic to cats. and dogs are so polite.

but most of all,
i think ive spent too much time waiting,
when its all i ever seem to do.
i guess i'd know if the time was ever right.
but there i go,

"New writers often find beginnings difficult...because they take the word 'beginning' too literally... Your story... must begin in medias res, in the middle of things." - Bernays and Painter, I.1

sometimes, i'll look at somebody's face and it will seem distorted somehow, filtered,

i went to bed really sad last night.
i don't know what i was doing,but i rolled out of bed at around 7 am,
took a shower, went back to bed until 10, took cold meds,

made crepes for some reason, and then i started watching videos on ( Read more... ) -

Note
"Remember how the naked soul
with its old freedom
like a light innocent of measure

and where they are heading
as though they were its own legend
running before the words and beyond them
naked and never looking back
through the noise of questions"
