7/7

grand

Apples are the healthier alternative / so was loving someone else

I lay in my bed alone / I’m worried about my health

I’m trying to get cozy / get into a good book

I just never have time / to get so hooked

I saw my aunt last night / The first time in a while

Her and my uncle got a divorce / But she still had the same hair style

When you see me smile / you can’t help but smile too

History says I am a pacifist / I can be anything I want

6/7

thinkin’ of you (revisited)

When the sky is pink

and orange

and blue

and the mountains are purple

and sprinkled with white snow

“Are we getting pulled over?”

I don’t want to think

of my ex girlfriend

Thích Quảng Đức;

I want to live on a boat

I want to travel

zac,

post this before your eyes shut

black and white photograph of a TV surrounded by a yellow border / Testify by Rage Against the Machine stuck in my head

The moon is going to shower us with it’s moon beams

I’m so clean, I’m so clean, I’m so clean

The sun will kiss us with its bright rays

I’m so clean, I’m so clean, I’m so clean

Taking a trip around the solar system

I’m so alone, I’m so alone, I’m so alone

It doesn’t matter what I’m doing

As long as you’re not there

Heart Shaped Rocks/Give ‘Em To Me

Cutting out pictures at the train station

The train was 25 minutes late

I kept cutting out pictures. 

People were complaining that the train was so late

I understand their frustration but

People should be a bit more patient. 

I was late to class

It was my math class

We are talking about exponential growth and

Exponential decay. 

Don’t worry, I won’t talk about it anymore.

“staircase” 2017

I haven’t made anything in a long time

It may be because I’m not making it for anyone/I know I’m the only one who will see it/

What’s with all these people not signaling/you’re not King Arthur

I still stop in at the jewelers, to see how they’re doing

I think about knocking on your apartment door, or throwing rocks at your window

I notice more white cars, and always look for you driving

(I keep seeing things that aren’t really there: mountains / cars)

My eyes are burning;

Writing with the ink from my heart;

I’m just another boy with brown hair;

No time to fool around;

Sometimes I think we are meant for each other;

Other times I think of how life was in the 1950’s:

I watched a documentary about a lady called Dorothea Lange, she took a lot of black and white photographs. Documentary style photography is quite possibly my favorite form of photography. You don’t ask the subject to smile, they may not even know the photo’s been taken. You just take it as you see it happen, you just kinda know when you see a potential good shot. She took a lot of photos of people in the Midwest who suffered from the Great Depression- came over to California. The photos conveyed a very strong message to the public because no one knew who they were, but you could see their sadness. 

Who were all of these faces?

What’re their stories?

It really made me think about how different things were back then. Almost seems like an eternity ago, doesn’t seem real. A lot of things that mattered back then possibly wouldn’t matter now (and a lot of things that matter now certainly wouldn’t matter back then).

Settin' the Woods on Fire

sunday, november 19, 2017 9:40 pm

i am very busy with school and work

i need more time to be creative

"may I ask who I'm speaking with?"

I sometimes sit alone at work; it's just because I usually work in the mornings so I sit with the morning people.  But sometimes I work in the afternoon/evenings and the morning people all leave so I'm just alone.  It's not that bad, really

I've been wearing gloves to stop biting my nails but I just take them off sometimes and bite my nails still.  I hate when it's cold outside so you wear a lot of layers or a big coat but when you arrive at school, work, or wherever you're going and they are blasting the heat because it is cold outside.  Then you're just way hot and you take your jacket or whatever off and then it's just really hot

Not quite the center of my skull, but just behind it, is a small indent.  I'm not sure what it's from, it doesn't hurt, just worried it's something bad.

I look at a computer screen all day and I can't imagine that's great for my eyes.

I added Jim Carrey to my list of favorite actors because I watched a movie called, "Jim & Andy: The Great Beyond — Featuring a Very Special, Contractually Obligated Mention of Tony Clifton." and it was so wonderful.  I wasn't familiar with Andy Kaufman before this movie, so I didn't know how to exactly compare it to, other than clips of Andy throughout the film.  But he takes on Andy's persona so well, it blows my mind.  He remains in character all of the time, and talks about when he was Andy, he didn't have a care in the world.  He felt so free and happy and that's because Andy was.  It had Andy's parents, ex-girlfriend, manager, and close friend's featured in the film and they said it was spot on and it really was like Andy.  Whoever the character he played was (whether it was spot on Andy or just some other character Jim made up), it was brilliant.

I'm going to try to write everyday this week

twenty reasons why i'm pissed off

1. I am pissed off because my bus driver stopped at a stop with no people so he could read his book- making me miss the train
2. I am pissed off because I have to commute to Salt Lake every day and it’s really inconvenient 
3. I am pissed off because I wanted to be an ultrasound technician and so I took a radiology class but it’s not really what I was expecting and I don’t mean to “put myself down” but I’m really not that smart and it's a lot to remember
4. I’m a little bit pissed off because three other people got off on the same stop that I did
5. I’m pissed off because my credit card balance was a lot more than I expected it to be
6. I’m pissed off because my hair is not long enough to push back, but it’s just long enough that I can’t comb it to the side
7. I’m pissed off because my Tyler, the Creator cassette tape still hasn’t come (I ordered it in July)
8. I’m pissed off because I don’t have anyone to talk to about my day
9. I’m pissed off because people litter
10. I’m pissed off because it’s cold
11. I’m pissed off because I know it’s only going to get colder
12. I’m pissed off because I don’t know what the initials C.S. stand for in C.S. Lewis’ name
13. I’m pissed off because I took out my nose ring
14. I’m pissed off because I have two tattoos of birds and they used to not mean anything to me
15. I’m pissed off because I hate odd numbers, and I have an odd amount of letters in my name
16. I’m pissed off because I know I’ll never make as much money as I want
17. I’m pissed off because I’ve been doing so much driving lately
18. I’m pissed off because I have two bank accounts with two banking institutions
19. I’m pissed off because I didn’t charge my phone enough before I left the house
20. I’m pissed off because the lady at the dollar store didn't say anything to me other than my total

,thanksgiving haiku,

One time in a dream, one of my past teachers told me he enjoyed my poetry so much, he wanted me to read at his family’s thanksgiving feast. I penned a quick 5 7 5 stanza and read it off to the table, “thanksgiving: family / thanksgiving: pass the turkey / thanksgiving: much love”. I’ll never know what they thought of my haiku, or what they were each thankful for.
