[Listening to: The world's unwavering need to constantly be something it's not. I just want to say to the world, "World. It's cool man. Really. Just stick it out, hang in there, and be yourself. People like you for who you are."]
[Note to self: Cobwebs = nothingness ]
you commented on how i sometimes use a comma
at the end of my sentences, instead of a period.
and i told you that i guess it's because
i'm not very good with goodbyes,

"yes, well, i have my masters in this field, so i think i know a thing or two about it."
"yeah well i have my masters in shut the hell up."
this is the sort of conversation that leads to long awkward silences.
we sat on the park bench feeding the birds.
"i just don't think you're being fair about this."
"i just don't think you're being éclair about this."
"what? what does that possibly mean?"
"éclair, it's a kind of pastry."
"i know what a fucking éclair is."
"WELL ALRIGHT THEN."
The birds stopped eating and looked at us.
There was trouble in upper management,
the seed spreaders were fighting,
and it would just be a matter of time
before one of them stomped off
throwing the bag of seed on the ground.

There are eight people waiting in line at the DMV
they all have looks on their faces that seem to say
"Yes, I am at the DMV. Sometimes I like to have fun,
but this is not one of those times."
And I think that it's the concept of waiting to wait,
that makes these places so unbearable.
Later I am getting my picture taken in front of a blue drop cloth.
The woman shows me the picture and asks
"Do you want to take another?" in a way that suggests she's really thinking
"Do you want to take another, so you don't so closely resemble Charles Manson?"
I politely decline.

Ok, so here's some stuff I've been indulging in lately,
The new mountain goats ep, satanic messiah. little four track deal, super great, payment isn't mandatory, but a really good idea, the guy's been my hero for like 6 years or something. Also if you can get your hands on "black pear tree ep" it's a colab he did with kaki king. check that shit out dudes.
Fallout 3. So, pretty great, obvs. I'm playing it on the PC, but don't seem to be having any of the problems that some people are. People keep saying it's oblivion with guns which i don't really think is fair. It's more like, an oblivion/fallout mashup. the best of both games, in one with so much more. It lacks some of the fallout 2 charm, but captures most things pretty well.
AmazingSuperPowers. Great comic, updates Mondays and Thursdays. Clever, and well drawn. Check it out, yo.

"Here is your pocket knife," she said, handing me a pocket knife.
"Glorious." I said through astonished breath
It wasn't what I had planned on saying. Glorious. It wasn't even a word I used very often. Ever really. Glorious was a word for old women, or Mel Gibson movies.
The red plastic sides hugged the metallic middle. The part where the blades were. This was the business section of the knife. This is were shit went down. If this knife was a half-an-hour sitcom, the blades would be the part after the setup and before the wrap up. When shit went sour. When the dragons trashed rachel's restaurant, or when uncle Jesse was just about to drive his cycle on the edge of the building.
I flipped open the largest blade, and saw my reflection in its shiny finish.

there's a new story!
Excuse me, and hello, voting America
are you wearing worn shoes?
are you changing the songs on your music player?
are you eating a light breakfast?
are you awake and excited?
are you bundling up and finding things
in your winter jacket pockets
an old grocery list from when you tried pears for the first time
are you wide eyed with the prospect
of making a difference, of changing the world,
are you standing in line to vote?
and are you choosing wisely?
as your immediate neighbor to the north
please choose someone that will not
blow us up.
