It was my dry elbows, wasn’t it. I knew they’d drive you away.
to be clear, this is not the first thing i saw on my dashboard. nor is it the wittiest, or most interesting. i just have dry elbows, and i understand. represent.

day 13 - favorite season, and why.
the library always smells like this: an ancient stew of vinegar and wood. it’s autumn again, and i can do anything.

day 09 - best day of your life.
the 15th of september, 2004. mexican independence day. hundreds of thousands of people flocked to the center of mexico city to celebrate their able ness. that moment, when it seemed like the entire country went mute; just before el presidente opened his lips to sing the song of their history. i will never forget that pause. my heart must have stopped beating. a ticking bomb. my head chanting...

day 05 - favorite memory from childhood.
the first time i ever saw papa jump, it was just about time for supper, and the sun was beginning to set. i remember the dying rays casting shadows on the walls and floors near all the open windows and doors. my mother had sent me to find him, and when i did it was on a piece of the highland, perched dangerously close to the edge and poised as if he were about to leap off. it didn’t make any...

day 02 - how you got your tumblr name.
we got in your car and we hit the highway. eastern sun was rising over the mountains, yellow and blood red bits, like a kaleidoscope.
and flaming swords may guard the garden of eden, but we consulted maps from earlier days; dead languages on our tongues, holding on to our last hope.
and the day was bright and fine, and the highway sign said, “san bernadino welcomes you.”
i checked us into our...

aeroplanes.
that elderly lady with the curly, orange hair is passing out drinks in a little trolley - wine to those of us who can afford gourmet peanuts and seats with real cushions, pop and water to the rest.
i just know her withered, 70 year old body is thinking about pulling out a gun, pumping us full of bullets, and shouting obscenities. packed into this narrow piece of metal like little sardines. i...

documentaries became a box office factor with the rise of such films as “hoop dreams” and “roger & me.” before then, there were hit music documentaries like “woodstock” but most other nonfiction films could expect short runs in few theaters before dutiful audiences. what a small but growing minority of friday night moviegoers is beginning to ...

Supermarket in California by Allen Ginsberg →
inthesubpattern:
What thoughts I have of you tonight, Walt Whitman, for I walked down the sidestreets under the trees with a headache self-conscious looking at the full moon. In my hungry fatigue, and shopping for images, I went into the neon fruit supermarket, dreaming of your enumerations! What peaches and…
oh, how i crave pretty words right now…

dia de los reyes.
so, i just read up on ‘three kings day’ - more commonly known as epiphany. i was not raised by any particular denomination, my mother was a “we’ll see what happens” kind of woman, my father was a devout catholic. can you guess which one died of substance abuse? anyhow, epiphany, from what i can gather, is a catholic holiday that celebrates any number of things, (a) the birth of christ, (b) the...

mining my own business.
i didn’t work today. no, instead i played minecraft with my 9 year old cousin and re-read old blog entries. i think i spent most of my day on my stomach in front of my laptop with michaela by my side. we laughed, we talked, we coughed - cos we’re both deathly ill - it wasn’t that bad. i haven’t hung out with a little kid in a while. the first 45 minutes of minecraft...
