so i wrote this thing

and now it'll be the first thing future employers see when they google my name.

hope you enjoy it!

and i had begun to fill in all the lines

for the record, i did this first. also, robin peckinold? sounds like a made up name. but great beard, and good cover.

i don't belong to anyone

cont'd

but you can take my hand in the darkness, darling, like a length of rope

cont'd.

have i had a hand in your loneliness?

cont'd.



Wolf-spider, crouch in your funnel nest,
If I knew you, once,
now I know you less,
In the sinking sand,
where we've come to rest,
have I had a hand in your loneliness?

When you leave me alone
in this old palace of yours,
it starts to get to me. I take to walking,
What a woman does is open doors.
And it is not a question of locking
or unlocking.

Well, I have never seen
such a terrible room-
gilded with the gold teeth
of the women who loved you!
Now, though I die,
Magpie, this I bequeath:
by any other name
a jay is still blue

with the loneliness
of you mighty men,
with your mighty kiss
that might never end,
while, so far away,
in the seat of the west,
burns the fount
of the heat
of that loneliness.

There's a man
who only will speak in code,
backing slowly, slowly down the road.
May he master everything
that such men may know
about loving, and then letting go.

on a good day you can feel my love for you

it's no secret that i've been feeling down lately...




just kidding! it is, because i don't hang out, and i don't blog about it. so let's at least change that second part. joanna just got downloaded, and she's pretty much all i need. so far, this song is making me want to cry at my desk.



hugz

in my hardening to every heart but one

the unending amends you've made
are enough for one life,
be done,

i believe in innocence,
little darlin',
start again
i believe in everyone.

i think blogs are like DFW footnotes, for life

let me see if i can weave a bunch of convoluted references into a linear progression:

1. had the same bus driver today that i had on my previous post! he was not as talkative, maybe a little sad, but i do project that on others.

2. man on bus with a moustache (different one this time) commented on my beard.. at least i thought he did, and i ignored it at first, thinking it was not about me. i got confirmation when he asked me if i wanted to visit iran, because the mullahs would really like me with my gnarly beard and lack of tie (wearing collared shirt sans tie as per my strict personal dresscode). i took the 'compliment' as gracefully as possible.

3. that made me think of this video which is worth watching again, because it's funny, because fred armisen is adorable, beacuse they ripped off a great aphex twin piano line, and because gay panic jokes are not usually funny, but they're goddamn hilarious when in regards to ahmedinejad.



3b. which reminds me, andy samberg is dating joanna newsom. i was initially really mixed up about that, but i've sort of made my peace. sort of. i still might try to hurt him.

3(c)(4). which reminds me, this is like brandon's obsession and subsequent disillusionment with scarlett johansson, except almost the opposite; the common thread is that i think we both are on some level inspired to volcanic, impotent fulmination by them. and yes i read everyone's blog in the universe. sorry.


god knows that volcanic, impotent fulmination is my middle name.
