Accident prone, I told a girl that I loved her.
Translation: I want to play all your boardgames
all night, every night, until we've eaten all the cereal
in the house, until I've gotten around to getting
an advanced degree in misanthropy. But who am I kidding?
It would/could never work due in large part to my belief
that rivers flow not because of...

my mom and sister are in the process of moving...

If you want, I will put on the rest of your bandages,
I w/ill give you: antibiotics, IV drips, a bouquet of flowers,
a real live dragon. But not just any dragon: the best dragon.
One that can use his firebreathing capabilities for good
instead of the occaisional human barbequeing, one that already
knows how to control his errant wingflappery and
will take you any...

i had to get that entry out of your friends pages. sorry kids! hah. all is golden.

ok so my tattoo: i want to get it soon but someone should design something for me. because i generally hate template tattoos and i don't think they have one of what i want. yes. so get at me. soon.

much love kids.

honestly, i can't even remember the last time i've felt like this. maybe it's the drinking. maybe it's her. maybe it's me. but either way, it's destroying me and i don't know what to do.

i think i shall get a new tattoo today.

yeah, i apologize with all my heart about the cryptic entry. i hate them just as much as you do. i...

a) i'm on some sort of super-bender right now.

b) cinco de mayo last night at work was rough for a little bit but overall it was actually really fun - being there made me feel like i actually work in a "real" bar. very weird. everyone was getting shitty drunk and yelling and doing drunken things. it made me happy.

c) i talked things...

Oh Buddy

After you were murdered, I opened
our closet and dragged your things
off of the floor: they belong not here
anymore. I will give your favorite blankets
to the kids, the fedora with the juice stain
to the cat, but your tattered bathrobe,
that will stay with me.

Ill wear it: to your funeral,
while paying the mortgage,
to the grocery store looking...

i've spent the vast majority of the past month debating what to do about this particular girl that i really like. but the situation is much too complicated to go into on here, so i will just leave it at that.

by the time my next day off comes around, i will have worked 15 straight days.

my best friend visited yesterday and i couldn't...

I will draw the scene of an emergency.
I will draw my mother how she wants to be.
I will draw an empty book of answers.
I will draw the grill on my back deck.
I will draw twine in an oak barrel.
I will draw a sparrow on my cutlery.
I will draw a couple winged things.
I will draw a map to the...

worky is worky. i didn't win western's poetry award, but i did get an honorable mention. i've got my road trip planned out, for the most part. my geographic skills are a bit skewed, so this is tentative:

july 6 - spend the day in tuscaloosa.
july 7 - drive to philladelphia (temple university).
july 8...

last night, at work, these three girls came into the bar: 2 had identification but one didn't. all was cool - ms. un-ID ordered a coke. her friends wondered why i couldn't give her a shot. i replied because there's no way that i'm going to take your word that she's 21, especially in this town. one of the of-age girls says, well, can...
