Apr. 26th, 2007 @ 04:58 pm but where to go
Current Mood: devoid
Not so much everything as a whole, but the day to day.  Not so much relieved from the pressure as just ignoring it.  Not better, just numb. 

I want to go.  Not for me, but for you.

Where is it?  Where are you?  Where am I?

It still feels strange.  The point where you start to really look around and comprehend what's around you is where I am.  And I'm still not used to it.  However worn out I am.  However monotonous this seems.

Feb. 17th, 2006 @ 12:21 am two blankets for the coldest night of the year
Current Mood: combo meal.....
Current Music: I'm playing Múm in my head
Someone stick their fingers in the notches.
There's something stuck inside.
This month it's the carpals.
Last month it was the tarsals.
The month before was the ribcage.
It's all a matter of conquering myself step by step..... or limb by limb.
So I spin poi now. Figure I might as well catch up with the all the spinning happening all around me. Cycles. The earth. The moon. The planets. The sun. Seasons. Human connections and actions. My period. My bicycle wheels. My skateboard wheels. Water in every form. Plates. That tick, tick, tick that I can never fully escape. Etc.....

I feel complete balance. I fall in love daily. I fall down daily. I grow so much. I grow tired so much.

Two blankets for the coldest night of the year. One last time to try and fill the gap. One last time to try and make good..... though I've heard that summer will take care of that if I only wish it hard enough.

I hope they'll forget who I've been when I become who I am. I mean, I hope they'll forgive the times I've been the stupid one, the lazy one, the apathetic one, the mean one, the uncaring one. I hope they'll understand I've recognized where I went wrong. I hope they'll recognize where they went wrong. I can read their intellectual power..... I know they can't. I can read the future..... I know they won't. But I will. I will, I will. So that means that sometimes, sometimes I really won't. But I will.

That odd weight on my shoulder blades is just the wings beginning to form. That odd tugging in my chest is just the love waiting to form.

Oct. 31st, 2005 @ 12:00 pm Fuck Halloween..... and fuck Mount Rushmore!
I wish no one a happy halloween. I wish you, instead, to learn some things about your country.

31 December 1941 marks the final completion of Mount Rushmore. If you think this was a good thing, then keep reading.....

So it's 1867 and the Native Americans are still quite bitter about loosing their land to savages and so of course they're still resisting/uprising. This was a problem for the ones they were resisting..... "Hey, we're stealing their land and they're doing something about it..... we need to do something about this!" An Indian Peace Commission was created to prevent future "wars and conflicts" with the "savage" natives. More of a compromise..... "You can't have your land, but we'll make a treaty and you can have a reservation." So, on 29 April 1868 the Fort Laramie Treaty, which was an agreement with the Sioux that they would settle in the Black Hills reservation of South Dakota, was signed. It consisted of seventeen articles; Article XII..... "No treaty for the cession of any portion or part of the reservation herein described which may be held in common, shall be of any validity or force as against the said Indians unless executed and signed by at least three-fourths of all the adult male Indians....." O.K., so the Sioux get to keep their sacred Black Hills.....

1874 - Colonel George A. Custer and some miners have themselves a little expedition in the Black Hills and discover..... *gasp* GOLD!!!!! The miners move in quickly, only they're moving in on hunting ground for the Sioux. "We need backup!" The general calls for an army detachment, there's a battle at Little Bighorn, the native americans win..... but that doesn't settle the fact that there's gold in the hills.....

1877 - "What treaty?"..... Yeah, of course we took back everything we gave them in the Fort Laramie Treaty..... "there's gold in them hills!" I wonder, is this where the title "Indian giver" was coined?

1920 - A claim for the return of the Black Hills to the Sioux is finally seen before a federal court. But this was never about morals for anyone except those whose morals it was exploiting and the claim never saw the time of day.....

1927 - Gutzon Borglum (who was affiliated with the KKK) and four hundred workers began work on a new monument, sculpting four "famous" presidents' heads on a mountain face..... location? Oh, nowhere special, just right in THE BLACK HILLS OF SOUTH DAKOTA!!!!! The sixty foot heads of Washington, Jefferson, Roosevelt, and Lincoln carved right into their beautiful mountains. A stone cold reminder gazing over their sacred land. Can you imagine the Nazis erecting a sixty foot "in remembrance of" Hilter statue across from the Anne Frank house or something? A big cold conrete swastika memorial statue placed in front of every synagogue? This is what Mount Rushmore is for the Native Americans..... a painful insult, a constant reminder, a bloody boot to the all ready booted face.

31 October 1941 - Mount Rushmore is completed..... pity concrete doesn't burn, eh?

1980 - Over one-hundred years after we stole their land a supreme court case entitles the Sioux to 17.5 million dollars, plus five percent interest since 1877, as "payment" for land they never gave away.

They still have not cashed the check.....

Oct. 14th, 2005 @ 08:18 pm Dear infatuation, you do not see me
Current Music: Pixies - Live at BBC "Caribou"
I want something warmer, though I'm all ready burnt up. I want something colder, though the freeze has cracked my cup. Putting the wrong thing out when we made love..... putting my heart out when we made love..... my heart and not my eyes. The passion was clouded with my addiction. The passion was clouded with my lust..... the passion was clear and nothing had ever been so damn bright. I had never seen the other side and when I saw it through you I only concluded that I was fine where I was. The passion was passion, was real, so real that it followed the rules and came to an end. Your existence was one that made me lose contact with the ground and it's so fucking hard to connect when you're floating around. So the words, they became fractal..... and before you had given me that name as if I were one who had ever shared many good ones with you. Though you breeded so many in me, I could never speak them aloud and though you had my mind flying, it was in a thousand different directions, no connections to be made. I only wished I could talk with you as I talk with others or myself, but I didn't know what to say, you would kiss me, you would suck the air out of my mouth bringing my heart to my throat. Barbed wire enforced steel fortress around my shriveled heart, look closely and you'll see the troops there on the front line. And you with the lungs of a God I don't even believe in suck sucking it up to the surface. You with the hands of an angel that fell before I was born touch touching it as it were some familiar object. Now the object is too worn, the cracks and stains are becoming so dominant that every time your eyes behold it you only think, "I need a new one."

Some might argue that angels need nothing.

Yes, and that object, one would like to believe that it has enough memory behind it, enough value in it, to be saved. Tossed in some junk drawer; beheld but once in a while. Would she learn the definition of enough then?

You, with the words of some sort of sage healing my wounds while I pick picked away. You, with the voice of some finely tuned instrument whispering while making love, "I'll suck my tongue in remembrance of you."

And me, with a finely crafted tissue paper weakness expecting something too good. Yeah, me, with a heart that supports the weight my shoulders never could. I feel the wind of my body in motion, but I'm just not moving on.

..... why am I waiting for you to see if I'm alive?.....

infantile habits that never died..... I suck my tongue, I rub my ears, and now I think of you.

Current Mood: I love my guitar
Current Music: Grok & Wallow (Rigney & I) - The Cry of the Mechanical Chimp
Can words even be found? I'm pulling I'm pulling the strings so fucking tight and I feel looser and looser by the minute. Maybe holding on tighter isn't what I should be doing. Maybe if I stop pulling and start loosening, maybe then once and for all everything will just fall away from me and I'll have to worry about it no longer. I should have never placed trust or too much comfort in any of it anyway. *Nothing is truly solid* *Ignorance is bliss* *Nothing is ever as good as you can imagine it* Three good lessons. I have music. I have water. I have guitar. I have a sunny day waiting for me outside. I have hands. I have feet. And I'm trying to walk across an oily ground. This is hard without friction. This is hard without something pushing my feet to move forward. Slide. I get it. Slide. Make it fun. There's something out there. I can feel it's energy. It's been calling me, but this time I won't expect anything at all when I get there. I'm going to slide.....

When you wrap something up in string or in yarn or in whatever you want, doesn't that mean you want it to stay together? Doesn't it seem like it only falls apart quicker? I wish you'd stop tugging at these strings, sometimes they're all I've got.

Apr. 12th, 2005 @ 02:08 pm dreams that I thought really happened, reality I thought to be a dream
Current Mood: I don't know as much as I do
Current Music: Lords of the Manor - Blood of Time
or maybe that was just a dream..... am I more alive in my dreams? Sometimes, sometimes I am. Sometimes I don't dream. Sometimes I don't live. If I tell you a dream as though it happened I'm not lying, just lost. Lost between the days, the months, the years, lost between moments when I am awake and moments when I am asleep, lost between here and there and up and down and in and out, lost between the line that separates happiness from depression. Is it the medication or am I really awake now? Will I fall back to sleep if I choose to stop taking the pills? Have I learned enough now to maintain happiness without aid? Then again maybe I'm not lost-I feel more complete and at peace now than I have been in a long time. I feel like I've learned so much lately, I feel like I've gained some very important knowledge. Knowledge that I wish to share with everyone, but cannot. It must be done alone. Most people overlook it and will never gain it. Poor human race, stupid human race. I am lost, lost in some ways and found in others. I am happy, I am happy in some ways and not in others. I am in love, in love and in hate. I am comfortable, comfortable in this discomfort. I wish you were all with me now experiencing the things I am. Maybe there'd be more smiling and more happiness and more content with unhappiness. This is me. This is not me. I am dreaming. I am reality. Sometimes there's just not a difference at all.

and Lords of the Manor are MOTHER FUCKING AMAZING. GODLY EXPERIENCE.

Apr. 6th, 2005 @ 06:57 am Balance
Current Mood: whole
Things come together, things fall apart. Can't have everything. Don't have nothing. So good that it turned bad. So bad that it turned good. Caught up in the balance of everything. Some people don't get it. Some people never will. They don't understand the balance, which is another balance in itself. Things are torn apart, things are sewn together. But no picking and choosing.

Apr. 5th, 2005 @ 08:25 pm I feel less distance with more distance between us
Current Mood: Where'd you go?
It's not the same. It never will be. No more than one-hundred words we exchanged. I've become someone else you've become someone else and we're still the same people, but it's like we've built a wall. You're not happy. I know it. You feel stuck. I sense it. Deep down, as bad as you don't want to admit it, things aren't as you'd wish. Or maybe they are. Maybe it was my being there that made me think you're not happy. But you didn't seem it. He's a major asshole and I wanted to slap him. Life is strange. I missed you when I was with you. I didn't feel like I was with you.

Current Mood: I want a hug
Current Music: Teen Cthulhu "Burning Fields"
Well, she left and I feel empty and contemplative and nostalgic and I am all ready jealous of whoever she'll be spending her time with there. I mean, new people, new friends, and only they will get to see her in the physical form and they'll get to watch the way she walks and the way she smokes a cigarillo. Or the way her eyes light up at a great bite of food. Now we won't get to drool together over our new colored vinyl and we won't be able to listen to really amazing music together. And we won't get to put our creative energies into a band like we have always talked about. Thinking about the distance makes me feel so hollow, so small, so helpless. I think about all the times we've had together, god so so so many, and the emotions are so strong that they leave me feeling nothing. Numb. I become a stone at the bottom the river of life and all I want to do is get a good grip on her and just keep her with me, but everything is just rushing right on by. I am stuck until a force I don't control knocks me a little further down. Then I'm just stuck again. I didn't hug her long enough, I didn't look her in the eyes enough, I don't even recall telling her that I love her, but I must've, right? That last day was so weird, it consisted of shifting between staring out the window and watching them load up the U-haul. It was a strange site and slowly all of the little bits of Kaylea, which have bits of me tangled up in them, were being crammed into a dark small space. I kept feeling the strings I've attatched to all of this stuff stretching to a point of unstretchableness..... then they would snap suddenly and whip me in the face or the heart. I wanted to cry the whole time and the weight upon my body prevented me from activity and the weight of the realization that she really was leaving me prevented me from speaking much. And the weight of the sadness and the suppression of my tears prevented me from looking at them much. I didn't really want to be there, but I so didn't want to leave. I didn't want her to go there, I so didn't want her to leave. I hope she's happy and I hope she falls in love with something. I hope her amazing laugh will touch another soul as it has done to mine again and again..... I hope she gives great warm hugs to people who need them as she has given me time after time..... mostly I hope she finds herself.

Is it stupid to wonder why she cared more about not being with the person she's moving to another state with for a month than the fact that that one month was our last one? It was so short for me, so long for her. It didn't matter that soon we wouldn't be able to hang out, but that she hadn't seen him in a few weeks. Is it silly to wonder why he doesn't ever call or write? I guess I'm just being emotional and self absorbed here. She might as well be gone because the distance is all ready there and the silence is breaking my eardrums.

This cute boy picked up nice big headphones and plugged them into his stereo while Radiohead was playing. Obviously he loves music like I dOiTHOUGHT. THEN!!!!! he became godGODGODGODgod. It clearly took him away, he was clearly moved, he FELTnoREALLLLLyFELT it. I wanted to touch him while he was being touched, but my hands might have gone right throughTHROUGH his body. A chill struck me, a wind blew inside my body, all I could think to do was cry, but like a fool i censored MY feelings. Drew wanted more beer. At a time like this, dreW? Can't you see he's GOD can't you see he's so p u u u u u u u u u u u u r e? I wanted him to goALONEgo. I wanted to FEELnoREALLLLLyFEEL this boy, if even just one strand of hair. they left and he handed me the HEADPHONES! YES! he handed me the headphones so that I could go there, go there too. So I did, they left and then i put them on and repeated the song. and I swear I became godGODGODGODgod. It clearly took me away, I was clearly moved, I FELTnoREALLLLLyFELT it. HANDS EVERYWHERE! there were millions of hands touching me in a different wayLIFTINGMEUP so highCRADDLECRADDLE. Then they came back and Drew passed out and Byron passed out and there was an opportunity for ussssssssss. So we touchedANDcaressedANDkissed and we became godGODGODGODgod. I'm not religious, I don't believe in a God that created all, but more like a god that lives INSIDE. Inside what? I don't know. Inside the orb that the beating of every single heart creates. SomethiNG LIKE that. So I can walk the earth knowing that there are moments where I will be god and see god and hold god and godGODGODGODgod. i could live as god and with god for so looooooooooooooooooooooooo n g. Would you let me, God, would you let me stay with you?
