"and each strand of her hair is really insect eyes and each hole in her tounge is always occupied by the milk of the sun."
"things never get so bad
that we can't remember
that maybe they were
never so good.
we swam upstream
through all those rivers of
shit-
no use drowning
now
and
wasting all that
gallant and stupid
fight.
upstream through it all
to end up
sitting here
in front of this machine
with
cigarette dangling
and
drink at hand."
"And i can feel my hands again.
we're almost home.it's 2 pm and our snow is falling still as our good city lay still.
and our friends are packed around some no smoking bar
warming on alcohol.
we step into the silence, yeah, we step slowly and quiet.All boys come on and girls join up
just don't grow old.
All boys come on and girls join up
we're almost home."
Stand up against governments, against God.
Stay irresponsible.
Say only what we know & imagine.
Absolutes are Coercion.
Change is absolute.
Ordinary mind includes eternal perceptions.
Observe what’s vivid.
Notice what you notice.
Catch yourself thinking.
Vividness is self-selecting.
If we don’t show anyone, we’re free to write anything.
Remember the future.
Freedom costs little in the U.S.
Asvise only myself.
Don’t drink yourself to death.
Two molecules clanking us against each other require an observer to become
scientific data.
The measuring instrument determines the appearance of the phenomenal
world (after Einstein).
The universe is subjective..
Walt Whitman celebrated Person.
We are observer, measuring instrument, eye, subject, Person.
Universe is Person.
Inside skull is vast as outside skull.
What’s in between thoughts?
Mind is outer space.
What do we say to ourselves in bed at night, making no sound?
“First thought, best thought.â€
Mind is shapely, Art is shapely.
Maximum information, minimum number of syllables.
Syntax condensed, sound is solid.
Intense fragments of spoken idiom, best.
Move with rhythm, roll with vowels.
Consonants around vowels make sense.
Savour vowels, appreciate consonants.
Subject is known by what she sees.
Others can measure their vision by what we see.
Candour ends paranoia.

i love: writing, reading, napping, cuddling, sushi, sweet wine, cigarettes, poetry, road trips when i'm not driving, southern drawls, (they make me melt) listening to hip hop at full blast by myself in the car, the ocean, 60's style kitchens, body modification, board games, chick flicks and documentaries, politics, anything controversial, baking, sex, anything with mangos, pineapple, or papayas, being in the sun, kissing, aleighsa cardin, bonfires, picnics, my family, alyssa hagenbuch, woodstock (the town in new york, not the music festival,) sweet tea, art in all its forms, intelligent human interaction, bill vantassel, my sisters, (my heart) dresses, flats, bobby pins, flip flops, staying up late, augusten burroughs memoirs, teeth, mix cds, down comforters, oversized sunglasses, and freckles.
i don't love: ignorance, arrogance, stupidity, people that talk before thinking, bacardi 151, large insects, spiders, and snakes, watermelon flavored anything unless it's actully watermelon, bananas, beer unless it's red stripe, being alone, people that don't floss, and sketchballs that just want to bang you.
anyone from tennessee that's not lame. preferably chattanooga/cleveland and the surrounding areas. i want to make some friends before i pack up my life here in new york. also, i'd like to meet augusten burroughs, zach galifianakis, christian bale, patton oswalt, mara wilson from matilda, and i'd like to run into james taylor again. yeah, that's right, i met the legendary james taylor. oh, and writers. good writers.
i'm really into the new aesop rock album. listen to none shall pass, and be merry. it's the shit.
