About Me

I'm Mike. I collect little moments of music and treasure 'em, like 1:45 into Norah Jones' "Those Sweet Words", when her voice does that little quiver on the words "all I know is...". I like politics and flowers and learning new words and trying to fit them into my everyday sentences. I like debating and wrestling and taking pictures. I like moshing. I like those funny little moments at hardcore shows when you make eye contact with someone in the moshpit. I like when people smile. I like when you're in the water, and you feel it surging all around your body. I don't like coffee. Or tomatoes, or mushrooms or onions. I like walking on the stony beach near my apartment and sitting on my thinking rock. I like the sea. I like cooking. I like it when you read something that makes you feel like getting up and breaking something, or kissing someone, or dancing. Even if it's on your own. I probably like you. I'm not really this pretentious.

21:07 Dissections

collecting bits of me

Today feels strange. I have an uber-important exam in a few days, and I should be studying like a paniky athiest prays on his deathbead. Yet I'm feeling strangely zen, which I have no right to feel,...
