Federal Hill MeditationWe rise from the canvas,   
                    Dance across infinite space,                    Place our colored strokes,   
And return to the greater mind.   
         We are the hand painting itself,   
            Finishing where we began:

Nothing Means EverythingCrowd my mind  I’ve fought you long enough  Come! Pour into me  
Beat me and make me cry  Break my walls and I’ll never know why  You didn’t ask for this  
I DID!  
So of course it has nothing to do with you  It’s all on me  Me. ME! Me.  I’ll take it, take it all.  
I flew so naturally I fall  But why isn’t it OVER  That is why I hate myself  That is why I hate you  That is why I can’t be  That is why everything  
Means nothing  And finally  I see  Nothing  
Means  Everything. Nothing Means Everything

Do I Exist?Do I trap a moment with these words?  Do we share this moment while you read?  
Am I present now?  Or was I only present then?  Or is nothing present, but everything past and future?  Do you feel me, hear me, see me?  Do I seem distant or near?  Or do I even exist?  When I die,  
Will this bring me back to life?  When do we exist?  Only in the past?  
Is this the present?  Do I trap a moment with these words? Do I Exist?

He and SheThey sat in the living room like always: she in the left chair and he in the right, a table with a long lamp between them. He read Plato or Milton or Virgil while she read the Bible. He was still while she shifted. He merely read while she cried. He drank water and she drank coffee. He wore glasses and she wore not.  
 
She stood sniffling, “I’m off to bed then dear.”   
He nodded but the page kept his attention. She turned and went up the stairs.  
 
He sat, not reading now, but listening.  
 
She began to sob.  
 
He returned to Plato or Milton or Virgil.  
 
She beg He and She

UnfortunateJust because you say you shouldn't  Doesn't have to mean you couldn't—  Just because you're scared to say  “why not, I'll try it anyway.”   
And even then, back when you didn't,  You didn't know what there was hidden.  Back behind those ears and eyes,  That space you filled with fear and lies.   
And now it's time to set it straight  And move on out, walk through that gate.  But here you sit, holding on tight  Onto your pre-established life.   
And even still I do implore  To let it go, walk through that door,  To let it go, try something new, Unfortunate

My GenerationThe apple we have tasted  has perhaps led us further into sin  but has certainly led us further into truth.  And with our hands clasped together  this fire we're walking through has cooled  no longer to hurt us,  while the sun refreshes us  and comforts us so that we know  someone, somewhere watches over us.  Our youth provides us the energy  to fight the war against the blackened  souls of those who wish we were not  and sometimes this fight can bring us down,  we are together and our hearts are strong  to bring us eventually to sail free.  Once we win, my darling, we My Generation

Hot SlotsI wouldn’t say I’m sexually attracted to my dorm’s card reader, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t get a certain charge from it. All doors into the old brick building are unlocked by swiping your student ID through a reader next to the door. They’re small grey boxes with a keypad, a small LED display, 3 indicator lights (green for open, red for not and yellow for error) and a long, deep chasm with a magnetic strip reader. The west door is particularly finicky. She never opens on the first swipe unless you do it just right. If you don’t have that touch, she won’t let you in until you’re almost tire Hot Slots

Hey all! Seems time for a second post in 2008 eh?

I am now 20 as most of you know, starting my third year at Peabody, still an RA. This summer I went to California and worked at a summer camp there which was fun. I can't say California in general was fun, but thats just the way life goes sometimes, huh?

The summer ended on a level plain and the school year has started without too much fuss. I am tired all the time, but this has given fruit to some deviations which I hope are better than those written in California.

I am enjoying some different images and hope to share more with you soon.

Hope all is well!
