this is the first weekend of the rest of my life.

at the elliot smith "figure 8" wall...

There are people who blog for a living, there are people who blog for a cause, there are people who blog to be worshipped, there are people who blog to make art and there are people who blog for no reason, stabbing themselves in the chest again and again and again with the pointlessness of it all.I've started writing a book for anyone who blogs or is thinking of blogging but it is especially

interludes

lying here, stoned and dethroned in the unreal yellow half-light of the cool spring rain. im toying with the notion that while it might not be possible to truly think several thoughts at once, perhaps we can conceive of our consciousness as a pair of hands that holds thoughts like stones--picking up one, pressing on it for some time and perhaps holding it close before putting it down and picking

if i could have a clue what justice is it would be more than i deserve.

i'm gonna turn my back for awhile, downwhile nothing bad can or will befallthe lights welcome me all by myselfand the fires only bronze they do not burnwell do you understand girls where its goingi'll fuck girls, if there's violence to comewhy, happiness, ohhhh happinessthey're crying, and their night has comeSee them in the theatre, they're very, very realScold them when they come home, dirty,

Never ever ever could we fake moves.

Back in the days when I was a teenagerBefore I had status and before I had a pagerYou could find the Abstract listening to hip hopMy pops used to say, it reminded him of be-bopI said, well daddy don't you know that things go in cyclesThe way that Bobby Brown is just ampin like MichaelIts all expected, things are for the lookinIf you got the money, Quest is for the bookinCome on everybody, let's

Left looking just like a ghost.

When you're lost in the rain in JuarezAnd it's Eastertime tooAnd your gravity failsAnd negativity don't pull you throughDon't put on any airsWhen you're down on Rue Morgue AvenueThey got some hungry women thereAnd they really make a mess outa youNow if you see Saint AnniePlease tell her thanks a lotI cannot moveMy fingers are all in a knotI don't have the strengthTo get up and take another

Hard like that.

i looked at a picture of myself as a baby--so beautiful, tiny and strong."Don't worry, kid," i said, "i got yr back."

would u be an outlaw for my love?

in a new york city public park about to fall off the wagon...

i can feel the world vibrating off its core as it shows me how simultaneously alive and dead it isthe tree in front of me is so still, its branches are like the arms of a statue. each little leaf however is trembling wildly, achey shakey breaky.my outsides are frozen but my insides are jumping...i know that one will take care of the other--if i break this self-imposed paralysis one step after

u gave me yr mix

we're like outlawsnyc punk art rockerswe have our secret places in the citylike the secret spots on our bodiesand secret meanings in our mixesour love blooms orange and redflowers and flames, the happy and sad feelings between songs...memories form dark twists beneath the surfaceof soft spring soilbut everything's okit's all as it should belove and lossrise and fallsweetness and light--the earth

Creating Situations

i come back and the rain is a movie dreamits only falling in certain spots along the lavender streetthe moon is yellow the streetlight toothe tulips r sprinkled with white blossom petalsi feel like nico's voiceroom 526, it's enough to make u sickmy eyes never stop filming...it's funny when u see some old-time actor make an appearance on one of those new, teencentric sitcoms...they blow all this

wandering

woostercollectiveLike any one of your standard “artist coming of age/realization of destiny” Hollywood flicks, my story begins in the wilderness, where I have wandered for many years. In this case, the wilderness is encompassed by my bedroom walls.

u got me open like 7-11.
