The Smiths speak to me.

"Take me out tonight
Where there's music and there's people
And they're young and alive
Driving in your car, I never, never want to go home
Because I haven't got one anymore."

what a sinner

Sometimes I like soul. Daytime is a tragedy.

The Pixies too:
"i'm the hard loser
you'll find me crashing through my mother's door
break my body, hold my bones
i'm a belly dancer
i'll shake forever and i'll never care
somebody got hurt"

And Kasabian,
"And I can't sleep 'cause I got nothing
Feeling I have lost control
To a higher force and
Music is my, my whore"

In heavy anticipation of the Mickey Avalon sexfest/concert tomorrow, I decided to take a look at a few of his lyrics. Here are a few of the best:

"It's Mickey Avalon all up in your prom
Pissing in the fruit punch with a baby blue tuxedo on"

"I sodomized your father in a federal penitentiary
And on the day I got out
I went to your mother's house and slept on the couch"

"It's Mickey Avalon, dick thick as a baton
The illest motherfucker from here to Vietnam
I used to work nights at Hot Cock dot com
But then I got fired when my mom logged on"

"Jean wasn't fat, she was easy to catch."

"I'm sick on the microphone like smallpox
Wild-eyed babies go crazy when I rock
Blind old ladies into diabetic shock"

"My dick cost a late night fee
Your dick got the HIV
My dick plays on the double feature screen
Your dick went straight to DVD"
"My dick got a Caesar do,
Your dick needs a tweezer, dude"
"My dick is like super size
Your dick look like two fries"
"My dick- V.I.P.
Your shit needs I.D"
"P.S. we got dicks like Jesus"
"My dick need no introduction
Your dick don't even function
My dick served a whole lunch-in
Your dick- it look like a munchkin"
"My dick bench pressed 350
Your dick couldn't shoplift at Thrifty
My dick- pretty damn skimpy
Your dick- hungry as a hippie"
"My dick don't fit down the chimney
Your dick is like a kid from the Philippines"
"My dick parts the seas
Your dick farts and queefs
My dick- rumble in the jungle
Your dick got touched by your uncle"
"My dick goes to yoga
Your dick- fruit roll-up"
"My dick- sick and dangerous
Your dick- quick and painless
My dick- 'nuff said.
Your dick loves Fred"

Let's slide our feet up the street then pull it back.
Let's sing and dance then spin the clubs and cruise down the block.
Life is hard you know; so strike a pose!


Destroyer by The Kinks is Colin's song.

In six months, I picture myself in the living room of my apartment with slippers and a pipe, pondering the lyrics of Santogold's L.E.S. Artistes and knowing.

"What I'm searching for, to tell it straight, I'm tryin to build a wall.
Walking by myself, down avenues that reek of time to kill.
If you see me keep going, be a pass-by waver.
Build me up, bring me down, just leave me out you name dropper.
Stop tryin to catch my eye, I see you good you forced faker.
Just make it easy. You're my enemy you fast talker.

I can say I hope it will be worth what I give up.
If I could stand up and mean all the things that I believe.

I left my home to disappear is all.
I'm here for myself, Not to know you, I don't need no one else.
Fit in so good, the hope is that you cannot see me later.
You don't know me, I am an introvert an excavator.
I'm duckin' out for now, a face in dodgy elevators.
Creep up and suddenly I found myself an innovator.

Change, change, change,
I want to get up out of my skin.
Tell you what, if I can shake it, I'm 'a make this something worth dreaming of."

[ music | Santogold ]

The vista I see now is changing
Uncertainty is suffocating
Our hope has never felt so great and
Lit up down
A pounding pulse
To make it go
Make it slow down,
Go.

And some things, they fall to the wayside
Their memory is yet to be still
Belief has not filled me
And so I am put to the test

Death is pretty final. I'm collecting vinyl. I'm gonna DJ at the end of the world!



They thought that I would listen
but the words had never crystallized
Into a truth that I might own, hey hey.

No one cares
If your fantasies are
Dressed up in travesties.
Enjoy yourself with no regrets!

Candor is always a double-edged sword; it may heal or it may separate.
The mark of the immature man is that he wants to die nobly for a cause, while the mark of a mature man is that he wants to live humbly for one.

"Every generation of humans believed it had all the answers it needed, except for a few mysteries they assumed would be solved at any moment. And they all believed their ancestors were simplistic and deluded. What are the odds that you are the first generation of humans who will understand reality?" -God's Debris, Scott Adams

"Talking nonsense is man's only privilege that distinguishes him from all other organisms." -Crime and Punishment, Dostoevsky

"Chronic remorse, as all the moralists are agreed, is a most undesirable sentiment. If you have behaved badly, repent, make what amends you can and address yourself to the task of behaving better next time. On no account brood over your wrongdoing. Rolling in the muck is not the best way of getting clean. " -Brave New World -Huxley

"It was as if that great rush of anger had washed me clean, emptied me of hope, and gazing up at the dark sky spangled with its signs and stars, for the first time, the first, I laid my heart open to the benign indifference of the universe."
-From The Stranger by Albert Camus

I've always been vaguely bothered by the idea of sleep. I've usually tried to explain my dislike of it in rational terms. It's a waste of a third of your life. It usually just makes me feel groggy and unpleasant instead of refreshed.
Fundamentally, I think, my real problem with sleep may be the simple fact that sleep is scary.
Not on the level of a real phobia, of course. Just enough to make me vaguely reluctant to do it until it becomes absolutely necessary.
Sleep is also way too close to death for me to feel totally comfortable with it. Obviously, they're completely different in any number of critical ways, but, viewed subjectively, there are enough common elements to make the association uncomfortable.
And one thing I've always found particularly creepy is that sleep seems to compress the memories of the day ending in some way. There are memories—usually minor, but real—that simply won't be there when you wake up. Tiny chunks of your life that might as well not have happened.

"I'm a stenographer of my mind. I write down what passes through it, not what goes on around me. I'm a poet." -Allen Ginsberg

I wish I could learn to take that advice. Apparently learning seems to be one of my difficult areas, lately.
Sometimes I just don't know anymore. Maybe I should start looking straight ahead instead of out the windows, because something always snags me and holds me back. Everywhere, everyone, everything. Every, every. I can't think too much about the meaning of the word or I will forget what it means all together, or at least question it's existence in the English dictionary.

I wish I could write a book and have people question my motives and my actions, the words lining the paper that they hold in their hands... I want them to feel the mystery and understand it at the same time. The mystery, being my mind, the motive of the words on the paper, you know?

"She remembers nothing. All her memories go to noise, go satirical and loud and uncontrollable - they fly like teeth and balloons from her brain to the open bones of her eyes, and clang there, lodge and impact and burst there. The months accumulate like houses in the middle of nowhere. And her sense of irony, finally, her cheap way of paradox, of that self-blanking kind of truth and calm, of easing, sometimes, into the sarcastic haze of living - it goes bad, like an awful, leaden, jam-packed something in her head." -Tao Lin, Bed

One thing I can read and understand and relate to. My hands are cold and sometimes all I want is someone to make them warmer. But more than that I just want to be able to live and live for me. Sometimes (almost all the time) I live for other people and what I think they want out of me. And that is a huge part of life, to impress other people, to do what they want you to do; a lot of times you have to if you want to achieve something in life.

Does any of this make the least bit of sense to anyone?

I keep on thinking about when I was little and I would lay underneath the big maple tree in my backyard and think about why I exist, and why grass exists, and why trees exist, and what is the sky made of? Why are there stars in the sky? How come ladybugs don't rule the Earth, and we do? I used to think too much as a kid, I think, so now I have come to a conclusion, that to make up for this, I just don't think at all anymore.
Oh, and I know you will prove my hypothesis right.

Have a nice day.

Lines Composed in a Wood on a Windy Day  )


Dreams (Anne Brontë)

While on my lonely couch I lie,
I seldom feel myself alone,
For fancy fills my dreaming eye
With scenes and pleasures of its own.
Then I may cherish at my breast
An infant's form beloved and fair,
May smile and soothe it into rest
With all a Mother's fondest care.
How sweet to feel its helpless form
Depending thus on me alone!
And while I hold it safe and warm
What bliss to think it is my own!
To feel my hand so kindly prest,
To know myself beloved at last,
To think my heart has found a rest,
My life of solitude is past!
But then to wake and find it flown,
The dream of happiness destroyed,
To find myself unloved, alone,
What tongue can speak the dreary void?
A heart whence warm affections flow,
Creator, thou hast given to me,
And am I only thus to know
How sweet the joys of love would be?

And I hope we can have lunch every tuesday and thursday in the spring. We'll carve shapes out of cardboard in the library again. New and strange, I'm going to try and be your friend. There are no words for the ground we stand on together. I don't think I'll see you soon, but I'm glad. And I appreciate you so much now that I know. Makes no difference how we're changing, let me even if I'm unreasonable. Thanks - for cutting trees and letting us decorate. I enjoyed your company and all, but I'm learning to keep my distance from genuine falsities. And I decided today that we'll be art buddies and I imagine sharing a box and I'll start with buttons and ink and we'll see what happens.

Come on love, stay with me )

for alex:
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't intrigued,
But timing is everything here,
and for the moment the "we" is reprieved
But, as I watch the girl unfold before my eyes, I discover
That I like her.

There's only wind and dust to follow your footsteps on the run.

Cold feet in London
Useless confetti
No groom
No first kiss
No diamonds for the girl


Yeah you got to mix it child.

And though your soul
can’t be bought
Your mind can wander.

It’s everything I wish I didn’t know
Except you give me something I can feel, feel.
