SoFla? So I'll fly.
I'm trying to figure out this whole thing. I moved back in with my parents (I know, I know). I moved back to South Florida. I was robbed blind over the holidays, forcing me to come up with a new plan to make up for the money I lost and save the money i had planned to between now and June. I am moving to California this summer and I refuse to ( Read more... ) -
I like the moon, because it's close to us
I feel...I feel betrayed by my own games. Optimism may not be all it's cracked up to. Time. There is enough of it somewhere. Ever-elusive, I caged it. We have each other in a fireman's grip and, like children or secretly vengeful siblings, we are spinning in circles. Within my grasp, I have no control--even if I know the direction. I've played this ( Read more... ) -
to take a phrase from Matt, I need to "clean up my life"
I need to fix all this...stuff. I need to clean things, literally, and whittle things down for this move. Sell my belongings for $5, $10--what is my life worth?

the sky has fallen
There is so much I want to say. I want to tell you how to fix the world, or at least make it way better. I want to teach temporary sacrifice and punch greedy closed-minded people in the face.

*I remember when I was a kid and my mom taught me the important things in life. Like: if anything happened to her on the road, you know, while she was driving, then I should slowly steer to the shoulder and pull the e-brake and lift her leg off the glass--stay in your seat belt!--and stick something hard in her mouth if she's having a seizure, ( Read more... ) -

come back and we will do the things we said we would
Life has been insane the past few weeks; few months. Even more than usual (I know). Even more bad luck than usual (I know). But "the ball is rolling" my lawyer told me today. And next week is finals, so I will have time to think and create and l i s t e n. Oh yes ( Read more... )
