Making All My Mistakes Now

My freshmen year in high school, I had the realization that, since it was better to have braces in middle school and then get them off in high school that it would be better for me to make as many mistakes as I can in high school to get them out of the way so … Read more

sit still; be quiet

arms crossed sitting clock is timeless surrounded by the restless mindless all straight-cut thinking but we’re beauty seeking and yet they punish us with silence we, scarred free give soulwild call and stumble to prevent the fall and to those who wish compose our sinful meandering and align us, do avoid silence, I’d recommend obtund … Read more

Monday Madness : 1

Due to some priority conflicts, the first Monday Madness post will occur on Tuesday (see, things are getting crazy already). Hopefully this won’t become a habit. I think madness is an intriguing word, and moreover, an intriguing concept. Some Monday’s, every now and then, I’ll post a little quote or poem or any other media … Read more

Google Search Stories Video Creator

This thing is so cool. You can just type searches in whatever order you want and create a little story out of it. It’s worth a look. Here is one I just found about Kerouac’s On the Road:

Things That Compel Me to Live

I watched Man on Wire last night which reminded me to write this. The movie, which I highly recommend, has a certain power about it that makes you want to live like Philippe Petit. I think that good books and movies and other media teach you something, a principle or idea or even change the … Read more

between the towers

walking cross that wired sky draws my sleepy wired eye, that restless passion come alive carrying dead weight, parts me have died. and I can’t shift my weight for safety, I exist sedate, for comfort, for security, what a damnable reply! I want to live, teach me to die.

Another Plate

I feel like writing a poem on how I’m spinning too many plates right now, and how currently all this chinaware is looking very precarious. However, should I add this to my to-do list it would be another plate to spin, and would add to my overall anxiety, which may very well put me out … Read more

Oh Damn

As of this moment I have 666 alleged “friends” on facebook. And I should very well be damned for that fact alone. You see, I know personally less than 150 of those people, and would enjoy the company of less than that. I regularly hang out with less than 20 of them. In fact, I … Read more

small minds like red rain

my life needs permuting

Writing this poem was the only way I could stay awake in statistics. It’s primarily based off of a quote by I believe Oscar Wilde that goes: “Death whispers in my ear, ‘Live,’ he says, ‘I’m coming.’” This is not to be somber, it really is a fun thought. Angelina Jolie once said, “There’s something … Read more

Very Short Stories : 1

Earnest Hemingway was once encouraged to write a short story in six words. He wrote, “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.” It is considered one of Hemingway’s best lines of prose and he himself called it his best work. I will post “very short stories” every now and again, but here are two to start: … Read more

You Have Been Cordially Invited

As this is my first day blogging, I was not aware of how close-knit bloggers are, and how it is an enterprise so entirely dominated by females, much like watching football religiously is an activity primarily dominated by men. In fact, come to think of it, I believe the former may well be a result … Read more

Thanks To Zingiberis

That last poem was inspired by me reading the entirety of the blog zingiberis at http://zingiberis.wordpress.com/ and may contain unintentional plagiarism. Plagiarism of thought that is. But then again creativity is simply undetected plagiarism, and I just feel like a chipper, taking in books and blogs and the universe and beauty, grinding it up, and … Read more

when the days were longer

should I’d stopped my reading, surfaced from the bleeding, when you swept me like the evening, like an eveling you draw my passions to spry with aethereal smile, which withers the me that’s eyed. say they, “absence makes the heart grow fonder,” yet patience breaks the heart from wonder. as so you are now from … Read more
