[Current Music |the russian futurists - you dot, me dot, t-dot]

I'd rather write than read and bleed a pen on fresh paper
Watch it fly like kites to heights that rival skyscrapers
I'd like to count your bones all one by one with my hands
And live inside your house once your gone and it's abandoned

So now I hit the bottle until it hits me back
And mess around with love to see what it sets me back
Cause I'm tired of all the folks and their shady practices
And girls who live on lies and backseat mattresses

When the morning comes like a swift hijack
You can steal boys' hearts, but I want mine back

I'd drag our names from a plane across the sky and
I'd watch it fall in flames just the same as you and I
There's a long way left to go when we don't know where we're going
We don't know where we're going; we're lost and who gives a damn?

I have always been terrible at following directions, I could never put Legos together or assemble toys or even put in batteries, my dad always got pissed off at me for it, and I can't even load the fucking dishwasher correctly, so it is perfectly fitting I guess that right now I have absolutely no fucking clue what to do about anything. Congratulations. There should be a party or something.

It doesn't seem like it should be the end of the weekend because I had a really great one, for once.
Megan is awesome for hanging out with me all weekend.
Megan is just totally awesome in general.
Plus, I got a bitchin' new shirt. Check it!

I should warn you, I go to sleep
I know you don't know what I mean yet
I get upset or happy, I go to sleep
Nothing hurts when
I go to sleep

But I'm not tired
I'm not tired
I'm not tired
I'm not tired

I know it seems that I don't care
But something in me does, I swear
I don't remember all last year
I left you awake to cry the tears

While I was dreaming in streams
Flowing between the shores
Of joy and sadness
I'm drowning, save me
Wake me up

I should warn you, I go to sleep
You won't know when I go to sleep
'Cause I'm not tired
I'm not tired
I'm not tired
I'm not tired

I just sleep.

I need to take in less caffeine and sleep a lot more and buy myself some new clothes and learn to play the piano, because my life is going to get better, and I'm going to have the best summer ever.

[Current Mood |he couldn't sleep at night]

"Fred Jones was worn out from caring for his often screaming and crying wife during the day but he couldn't sleep at night for fear that she, in a stupor from the drugs that didn't ease the pain, would set the house ablaze with a cigarette."

One day you'll be a lady but until then, you gotta do what I say. [Apr. 27th, 2005|11:04 pm]
[Current Music |ben folds - landed]

I'm in Grand Rapids which is completely unexciting.
But I'm excited, for something completely different.
I'm going to live in the same town as Kanye! And Jeff Tweedy! And Devin Davis!
Where's Emmitt Brown when you need him?

Chi-town, what's going on?

I think it's completely plausible. )

In other news:

"Your little hoodrat friend makes me sick
But after I get sick, I just get sad
'Cause it burns being broke
Hurts being heartbroken
And always being both must be a drag
She's been calling me again."

[Current Music |the clash - rudie can't fail]

We hear them saying:

"Now, first you must cure your temper."
"Then find a job in the paper."
"Then you'll need someone for a savior."

We reply:

"Now we get a-rude and a-reckless,"
"We've been seen looking cool and speckless,"
"We've been drinking brew for breakfast."

But just when you are waking
Just as the snakes are flaking
Sometimes I get the feeling
That you don't want me around


It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas spring/summer.
We should just have classes outside until the end of the year.
I need to go on more picnics and meet more people.
And I want to be able to write nice 50s pop songs.
I mean, wow. "Earth Angel." It doesn't get much better than that.

[Current Music |goldenboy - wild was the night]

Wild was the night
That hides us from the light
If we go outside,
There'll be places to hide
Where others will not find
Our dreaming wild kite.

Blue, blue was the sea
That stole my heart from me
Everywhere I go, all my friends tell me so
And I can't disagree
You're the blue, blue sea.

Wild was the night,
Still hides us from the light
Places to go, things I don't know
And I don't have a clue-
But I'm still wild for you.


I don't feel like updating that much anymore but this song is really beautiful.

Here I go,
It's coming at me through the trees,
Help me someone, help me please.

You take your shoes off,
And I will throw them in the lake,
And I will be two steps on the water.

Oh, here I go.
Don’t let me go.
Hold me down.
It’s coming for me through the trees.
Help me, darling,
Help me, please!


Something needs to happen.
Something new, or something riot-worthy, to fix everything.
I think that's a good word. I haven't heard it in a while.

[Current Music |built to spill - randy describes eternity]

every thousand years, this metal sphere ten times the size of Jupiter
floats just a few yards past the earth
you climb on your roof and take a swipe at it with a single feather,
hit it once every thousand years
until you've worn it down to the size of a pea
yeah, I'd say that's a long time, but it's only half a blink
in the place you're going to be
where are you going to be? where will you spend eternity?
I'm going to be perfect from now on
I'm going to be perfect, starting now
stop making that sound, stop making that sound
I will say I forgot, but it was only yesterday
and it's all you had to say.
