clap your hands

last night i was able to attend the twilight concert downtown with some friends.
we saw the new pornographers.
they happen to be a favorite band of mine. totally rad-induced tunes.
 for those of you who don't know them, i invite you to partake.

airplanes = shooting stars


sometimes you just have to wakeup,
and remember,
that your life is abnormal,
and then continue to dream.

thought of the week
sunday naps in the wild

fresh coat of paint

story time

i'm at lowe's. getting paint.. 
woman - super nice woman - sticks around until i am ready. she makes suggestions and is very attentive. then she mixes my paint, dabs the color on the top, gives me the mixing sticks, smiles, and tells me to have a good day..

yesterday i hit up lowe's again, this time i stand there for at least 5 minutes before someone notices me. a man. he mixes the paint and hands it to me. no little dab, no mixing stick, no nothing. 
prime example of how women are more nurturing in everything, and want to make sure that you are completely taken care of; and how men, most men, half-ass everything, and don't think outside of the box.

happy 24th, utah'ns

Farther versus Further - it's personal.

bubble dreams, bubble dreams.

 i still feel like i'm missing a rather large piece of me.

it's like i have misplaced something, or that i missed out on something. i feel like my mind is clouded and i am confused, and at times.. well, i feel crazy because i cannot logically make sense of what i think and how i feel; what i want, or what i need.  

i feel uncomfortable talking about myself, my hopes, dreams, and accomplishments.
i am tired.
i am aching for pieces of a dream,
i can't even pinpoint what it is i want.
it's frustrating; i am frustrated.  
i am afraid to actually want something, again - like my bubble will be popped.

i am terrified. a lot.

reset me.

peace wanted: $50 reward.

beach dreams


sometimes i have things to say that cannot be said;
at times i feel things that cannot be shared;
and every so often, i open up.

now and then it happens in my art;
regularly in lyrics of songs;
and periodically at the right time it should.

it is rare that i pen personal things here anymore;
but just for today,
i have to say..
that i am blessed to feel ok today.
