Dans le véritable amour c'est l'âme, qui enveloppe le corps

About Me

Well, I read all your scribblings on the sound of a voice and I let them betray me by faith and by choice and I've gnawed on my nails till I pushed through my skin and I quit everyone and destroyed all my friends. Well, it's typical fare for the indie elite and maybe if we're lucky we'll find the right beat so the kids post a quote in their blog on the net and we'll laugh till we're blue without shame or regret. Well, I've started to wish that I'd faced this alone, without expectations or a long-standing hope. So, I'll push on my brain till it fails me again and I'll make all these words with the blood from my hands. Let us write all our words with the blood from our hands...

"I don't think I wanna' think about it."

It's now one day from the month of May, and I realized it has been almost two months since I've written anything that documents any sort of newness or change in my life. And though I think small, seem...

Thursday night.

Right now, I'm sitting in my room, listening to 'famous' Baroque-era music (mostly Bach and Pachelbel) while eating a slice of coconut cream pie and reading Nietzsche. Classic evening. (I'll finish up...

The mechanics of things.

"...but, I dreamt we were all beautiful and strong." With the time I have been given, of late, I have been thinking. I've been thinking on the mechanics of things. The movements. The gears. Really, wh...

What's to come.
