the one time i went bowling i lost both of my shoes. i really didnt mean to, but you see. on my way to the car i ran into her. she was sitting on the ground with her dog of two years. a sign read ‘even a smile helps’. instead, i gave her those shoes, the ones that always chaff my pinky toe, and cut up my heels. i figured, she needed them more than i.

I don’t want to write about embellish. That’s kind of a weird word to be asking to write about, don’t you think? Something that might come out of a novel that’s written way too wordy. Not the kind of wordy that has craft, but just wordy to be wordy. For this reason I don’t like this word. It makes me think of novels such as that.

Right now, I’m eating lunch. It’s pretty sunny outside. Sometimes I worry about the “now” side of things, since every moment is in the now but then every moment turns into the past. It kind of sucks, but that’s just how things work I guess. All we can do is make the now as good as we can, which is why I’m eating lunch and just chillin’ today. I hope that other people understand that living in the now is important.

Go forth said the wizard, to the young boy standing in the middle of the dirtpath. The boy looked up at the strange old man wearing a long top hat and dress robe sitting in the tree above. Who are you? he asked. No one important. said the man. Imagician, a wicken, a wizard. Whatever you may call it. All you need to know is that down that road is your true present.

i saw him, he looked awful look he had just lost it all. But he just won it all. I just couldn’t understand. Then he just walked away and I never saw him again. I loved him and he never knew.

We dress ourselves and paint our canvases with mud and lies mixed with pastel. Pageantry and competition is for the animal world. For survival, not for the betterment of an already privileged life and mindless beauty.

Epic is what teenagers use to describe something completely out of the ordinary . Sometimes, the epic thing is not very epic, but a mere coincidence of events . You will know that people who say something is epic have not lived very epic-ly because they are not epic .

London bridge is falling down… I loved playing that when I was a kid. Bridge… hmm. All the bridges out of Maine and into Vermont/New Hampshire are green. I always love going through the big green bridges because it means I’m either leaving home or coming home.

dry pointy rough green desert flower,.. those birds who live in cacti that are total badasses of the bird world. I mean seriously, those birds just don’t give a fuck, they just burrow into those cacti and don’t give a shit about needles and shit. Bad ass. Birds are cool.

she left him, he left her the whole world seemed to be following this tragic little thing. it’s stupid to say at least, but whatever. it’s not her fault that he left her there, it’s not her fault that he left her. she threw the hairdryer and he left like that. but she left him not he left her, maybe it’s the other way around, maybe she just screwed up and he left her.

maybe it’s just the other left.

why can’t i live each day as though it’s my last? what is so wrong with wanting to be happy, and striving to live in the now, rather than in the what’s after?

he pressed his torso against my back, and wrapped his arms around me. it seems we have to sleep this close, he said. there’s really not much room. i giggled nervously. well there’s always the couch, i suggested. in your dreams, you’re way too warm to let go, he responded. this whole night has been so pressing.

I dream about walking down the streets of London, in the rain, wearing a trendy trench coat, with a red umbrella. For some reason this picture in my mind is in black and white.

I am sinking into myself, I am an ocean. The waves crash and crash and crash, but they do not sweep me off my feet. I love water because I can swim, my brothers can’t swim. They sink.

I was almost run over by a deer. When the car alarm went off i first thought it was a limb, and then a person run over by a car, and then the deer. Oh yeah, it was running straight towards me. That was one of the most scary experiences of my life: knowing that it probably wouldn’t hit me but if it did it would REALLY HURT. Deer in the Headlights by Owl city is my favorite music video.

everyday, hour, second our lives are on repeat. The air we breathe, the ground we walk on, all of it in some time, has been touched before. we live lives that people have been living for thousands of years. We are the longest going video, and when our part ends another is born with the press of a repeat button. The question is, when will they hit stop.

i try and find answers everywhere i go, to questions that i cannot bear to even ask. i look for answers in the sky, through the grass, and under the water. i do not know what i will find, but i know that you will be there throughout it all. like always.

I come in to work everyday hoping that I can exude my proper etiquette towards the human race. I am constantly disappointed with the individual greed and self interest of the individuals with whom I work and frequently see both a lack of etiquette and decency.

The base. The beginning. Where it all comes from. When things start to branch out. Leaf, tree, plant, flower, water, life, love. Green. Happiness. Summer. Nostalgia. To be alive.

A stem is a beautiful thing that creates life in so many different ways. Stems help plants grow. Stems as in the brain stem help animals function. Stemming ideas. Stemming emotions. Branching off. Spreading into the universe where everybody and everything exists.

I just saw his smile and realized that I liked it. Before I was just annoyed by his interest and his intensity. He followed me around. I was trying to cope with some other stuff. It was too much. But now I see that he would be a good man. A good and supportive man who likes to smile, who cares, and who is so totally into me.

I saw the water hole, I was so thirsty I couldn’t stand it I just ran! I left everyone behind to just get a chance to fill my water canteen. Then I tripped. I fell and I didn’t even know what I had fallen on, then the pain hit. I had broken my arm.

A sunrise over a silver lake Dances on a silver spoon They watch in awe and wonder As time rises up toward noon Dabbled in pink and merry sounds Drops of dew on morning’s grounds Bursting lungs

Breathe in

A sunset over a silver lake Dances on a silver urn They watch in awe and wonder As time takes its final turn Dabbled in black and mourning sounds Drops of dew on Sunday’s grounds Bursting lungs

Breathe out

as children we are the sands of the earth we stand alone yet as one on our highest mountain only to watch the birth of a sunset

Styrofoam is bad for the environment. Sometimes I can’t help but use it, based solely on the fact that it is in fact sturdier than paper but doesn’t need to be washed like the regular dishes. This does sometimes cause me anxiety, but I continue to do it anyway. Like a typical human being, I only care about now, and not the future of my progeny on this planet. What will be left? Who knows. This white foamy plate will still be here in a million years. I won’t live to see its end.
