I Miss You

To see you
When I wake up
Is a gift
I didn't think could be real

To know that you feel the same
As I do
Is a three-fold utopian dream

You do something to me
That I can't explain
So would I be out of line
If I said
I miss you

I see your picture
I smell your skin on
The empty pillow next to mine

You have only been gone ten days
But already I'm wasting away

I know I'll see you again
Whether far or soon
But I need you to know
That I care
And I miss you

for the rest of us....

Festivus, the age-old tradition that has evolved into the cash-cow consumer crack-pot creating consistent client-craze. I mean, its not everyday that people literally die for that great gift. No matter who you are, you've given in, and you should prepare yourself to be subject to another year of buildup and anticipation. Nevertheless, we will continue to live our lives as drones and leave reality by the wayside.... for the rest of us.

The Elegance of Consequence.

Paralysis. Utter shock and disbelief. The familiarity of disappointment. The hospitality of the desperate. Complete judgment from the ignorant but not the ignored. Unsimplified motives changing human interaction. Snare, bass, snare. Paralysis.

Solitaire

It always seems to happen this way... at first it was 1 week, the next was 2. Both were tough, for different reasons, and in hindsight it seems a little unreasonable for certain people. But the toughest thing I'll ever be forced to endure is this next one. The person who has become a big part of my day-to-day, something I've only let happen to a very small degree once before, is leaving for 2 months.

There is only so much time before she leaves. I have a few weeks before she's out of my reach. i won't be able to touch her face and hear her voice. I guess this is the relationship's first down, it was bound to happy but it won't change us, i know that.

Tarnished

In the weeks leading to the most merry day of the year, I feel, sunken. That's a decent way to describe how it feels. I mean, I'm exhausted from my new job, and the bridges from the previous one have been all but burned... I got my relève d'emploi in the mail today... its cool I guess. Its just another way to look back at all the things that I've done...

Help me out yeah
You know you gotta help me out
Don't you put me on the back burner...

Time Lapse

Its been a while, I'll admit... I just haven't been able to get time to do this. I mean, its not like I have all the time in the world right now, but its nice to get this off my head. Since the last time I blogged, Barack Obama has become President-Elect, I've tripped out on shrooms, and found myself a new job. There are some other things too but I don't necessarily want to jinx them. I'll be heading to Costa Rica in February, it'll be another one of those signature adventures with Danny, I cannot wait.

Rich Kid's Blues

Been having bad times
And I've been paying dues
Got shoes and money
And good friends too

Always play to win
But always seem to lose
That's why I think I got
A rich kid's blues

That's why I think I got a rich kid's blues

And I know what is going on
And I know, but I'll wait til dawn
And I know just exactly what is on your mind
Jumping back, I know if I'm still gonna lose you

But I'm wondering why, girl
Did I ask your name?
And all the people standing by
Oh, they're in my game

Love's just a story
A story without words
Words are almost never seen
And never even heard

I know what is going on
And I know that I'll wait til dawn
And I know just exactly what is on your mind
Jumping back, I know it's all a rut, you want me to prove it to you

Though my good times
Are just paying dues
I've got shoes and money
And good friends too

Though I always play to win
I always seem to lose
That's why I think I got
A rich kid's blues

That's why I think I got a rich kid's blues

I know what's going on
I know what's going on
What's going on
What's going on
What's going on
