About Me

To the idle mind,
boredom reeks of sour coffee
and moldy textbook pages
glued together by words,
so thick, that they've become
indecipherable....
I was most likely floating in some strange dimension of utter insanity when I decided I would be better off juggling both job and school, but the masochist in me knows that no matter how much I bitch and moan, I'll end up enjoying every horrible agonizing second of it.
But really....it's not nearly as bad as that.
My muse is, naturally enough, in stitches at finally being able to pull inspiration from real life once more. Stunning how much you miss when you leave your friends behind to join the working world of the so-called "adults." But now the compulsion to shout my return from the somewhat beaten down roof of my parent's house.
Odd that....
Needless to say, expect more rants and raves, and the more than sporadic update over the next year.
We're soaring now. And loving every fucking minute of it.

Summer always promises to bring Adventures...

1) Burning pictures -- watching as the ink sizzled and crinkled, wrinkling the smiles and erasing faces with a spreading web of black. And when the fire died, we rubbed the ashes into the sand and wai...

..and burned away our summer melancholy. We sat on my battered car with our backs pressed against the wind-shield, leaving body-shaped smudges and reluctant fingerprints all over the glass -- tossing...

Closing the door on Bais Chomesh
