Shit, son: Gen Y Fails, Safe.
Extended hands tear, stir a stagnant air, Responses blare, ring ‘cross sore throats, protest To “Now claim, grasp the fleeting life we share!
No longer do we yield like grain so fair. We’re blessed?—Lies!” Flames in heavy, beating breast, Extended hands tear, stir a stagnant air
As our bright eyes with vehemence declare, In anguish for the target of your jest To now claim, grasp the fleeting...
So this is what Beyoncé refers to in 'Ego'...
Stayed home sick again today. Heard a tinny tap on my front door—while minding my own business watching Giada over-enunciate Italian nouns—like a key wanting to get in. Didn’t have the will to go check immediately, but decided to, again, down a couple-a ‘acetaminophen’ pills ‘to get over it’. Arrived at door about 2 minutes of shuffling feet over cold...
VICTORY FOR THE FORCES OF DEMOCRATIC FREEDOM!
Stayed home sick today and, much to my dismay, Rachael Ray made some mad shit-lookin’ pasta that could have been potentially bitchin’ were it not made by Rachael Ray. Logically, I downed a few aspirins to ‘get over it’ and went on a mission—a mission for the glory of my own intellect and ego over Food Network. No recipe. No behind-the-scenes cast reminding me that...
Grim prospects filtered through the golden tint of...
Nothing remarkable about— Hey, yareallygotta ‘emote’ more; this isn’t a mug shochyaknow?— hay, really.
My rumpled, still skin, manufacture of a sleepless night, I feel pull and stretch, cheeks like old taffy, cracking, and of course I manage an ironic grimace.
Balenciaga & corset were on the menu this October morning, and tea, waffles, pancakes, eggs, bacon also—duh— but those were not...
Revelations
I was watching late-’90s/early-2000s Nickelodeon commercials on YouTube just now and suddenly felt the onset of epiphany somewhere between NOW [That’s What I Call Music!] 3, Taina, and Figure It Out.
Revelation One. There probably still exist some people in this world who listen to Hoku and S Club 7. I’d include A*Teens in there too, actually. Just checked Wikipedia mid-post and...
Things I've found interesting over the past week.
Fleetingly, some thoughts have popped into my head on a kind of aleatory basis—like Whac-A-Mole I’ve only been able to nail down very few of them (we all know the strategy involving slapping everything down with your hands is effective for coverage, but not so much in terms of ‘whacabiliy’). To be quite honest, these really are the things I think about rather consistently,...
The season is almost here.
Today marked the first day since March that I stood up beside my bed, opened my arms widely, placed each hand on one corner of my blanket, pulled it up, turned around, and wrapped it over my back, like a cape. I moved over to my ‘office chair’ and sat down, effectively making myself look like a tipi with a head sticking out its smoke vent. My arms I shook like they were on fire and...
You care about my fiber?
Health foods can go suck a (grape-)nut.
Not really. I love them. (I love you, health foods.) But I recently got the results of the second cholesterol test in my life. My LDL is even higher now! I first discovered that I was ‘borderline high’ about two years ago when I had to go through medical examinations in order to prove to the US Department of Homeland Security that I’m not...
Fata Morgana
These days I find myself being nostalgic.
Ever since my family and I moved to Burlington we’ve been developing a friendship with a crossing guard at Flynn Elementary. That he has waved to us every morning since September 31st, 2003 on our way to middle school, high school, college, and work, has become a sort of recurring memory. It’s an institution—part of the day, something...
