The flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all.

Snow
As the clouds came apart at the seams and emptied their delicate contents on the ground below, I felt I was watching the aftermath of some epic pillow fight. The part where both sides, their weapons having lost their force, retreat to their beds and stare wide-eyed at the ceiling. And as I stood with my hand pressed against the cold glass, I wished that all combat consisted of a...

Or Else.
My dad asked me what I wanted for Christmas and for some reason I couldn’t think of the things I wanted. The only thing that came to mind was a banjo.
So I better get a motherfucking banjo for Christmas, Santa.

What would you do if you woke up with the realization that you wasted your entire life? If everything you do is a lie and everything you did never amounted to anything?
Damn, 19 years wasted. Well, I’d shed a tear, eat a donut, and start rebuilding my life. Do things that make me feel good, like building things, and i’d sing Disney songs the whole time.

Brushing Teeth
Observation: Whenever I happen to be around friends who happen to be brushing their teeth they always walk around and talk while they are brushing. HOW? Whenever I brush I need to close the door and stand over the sink because I have to continuously spit that toothpasty foam stuff out; it’s a messy job.
But everyone else in the world seems to have no problem running errands and giving...

Carried with such loveliness
unravel me until i am nothing more than a single blue thread, and weave me into the strands of your hair, so that i may know what it is to be carried with such loveliness.
Who's Hitler?
I was at work and this kid starts talking to me at about a mile a minute; this was part of our conversation:
Kid: How old are you? Me: I’m 19. My birthday is April 20th (4/20 heheh) Kid: You’re old. Me: So how old are you? Kid: I’m six. I was born February 12th just like Abraham Lincoln. Me: Cool. Kid: My dad says I’m good at memorizing numbers and dates. Me: Oh? Kid:...

Burn
“come…”
I imagine this is how the moth feels, his better judgment stifled by the seduction being staged on the patio table. There, fire displays herself suggestively on the wick. She is a siren who knows her power, and you find yourself with no mast. “come…” she whispers from across the room, and you find your delicate body hurtling through space, tiny...
Convinced
wtf I just confused the hell out of myself.
Last night I went to bed at around nine (What. I was tired okay?) aand I guess I woke up around three or four in the morning; so I stayed up and just dicked around on the internet for a while and had breakfast. Later I watched some episodes of Dexter (just got season 3 on dvd!!!) aand I fell asleep for a while and watched some more. BLAH BLAH BLAH.

Yesterday.
I was dropping my father off at the airport and I saw this couple leaned up against their car in front of me. From what I could tell he was going on a trip and she was saying goodbye. I couldn’t hear what they were saying but the whole thing was very romantic and movie-ish. She was being all sad and pouty and to make her feel better he was being all tall and handsome and goofy. It was cute.

So long sanity.
I’m trying to write stuff because I haven’t written in a while but my mother does this thing where she turns the music up really loud and insists on singing along really loud. She’s been doing it all morning. Of course it’s always in the kitchen, in the middle of the house, and the paper thin walls mean there is nowhere to escape the noise. OH and somehow she forgets the...
