On Proprietary Ownership (A Nursery Rhyme,...
I like that I used to think owning property,
meant deep breathing in places I eventually forget if I lost the ability to see.
I hoped my insides would move about,
intestines unfurl, bones shaved, lines between head and heart reroute,
So the air from seas, stars, and cities could sprawl,
and my land would fill me ‘til I grew over every cloud and wall.
I imagine I would eventually...

On Weekends
Sometimes, when I lean my head the prescribed amount,
and give you what my older brother told me was the right amount of tongue,
I scrunch my eyes and imagine I’m absorbing every compliment you’ve ever received.
It’s for when your legs get tired of jumping into snow banks after me,
and the bags under your eyes swell shut waiting up for me,
I can take custody of every good thing said about...

Happy/lonely/working.
I know it must appear I only come here to spill my graceless thoughts every few months or so, but I guess that’s been the case for every journal I’ve ever kept. I’ve never been one to write every single day or keep a workout regime for more than 3 weeks or past an injury or two. I’m hoping what matters is that I show up when I have something to say, not forcing words upon...

Update (12/30/12)
I write to you from an oddly uncomfortable bed in Connecticut. I’m wearing a flannel that either belonged to my late grandmother or my poppy…my mother is convinced they both just traded clothes until the end, even though they argued a lot. I’d enjoy a marriage like that, I think. Minus the arguing, obviously.
Let’s just get to it. I don’t post on here really. I fell...

So I guess I miss this sometimes.
I’m trying to write again.
Everything’s going better now. Much better some nights, I think. Thank you, everyone.

An observation.
I find it wildly interesting that the more we age and make sense of this world, the less people make sense as they grow with it.

WatchI sat in my bed last night, dying at the dual act of going through every one of my Facebook photos and iTunes shuffling a perfect mix for said occasion. I’m kind of psyching myself up to delete my Facebook and saving all my (horrifically awkward) photogenic moments seemed like a good way to start. I really forgot how horrific I was at being in any sort of picture, but it’s weirdly...

Olympic withdrawals from the least athletic guy in...
But in all honesty, I love the Olympics. Start to finish, the stories, games, upsets, awkward classic rock bands combining with new pop stars in the Closing Ceremony and all. I even grew fond of NBC’s below-competent coverage with the censorship, huge delays, 500 hours of commercials, and only 34 hours of actual Olympic footage.
Before you get all excited though, sports dudes, I was...

Here’s a chunk of a short story I just wrote tonight. I probably should edit it down more, but hey…this is my blog, so I decide if I want to irrational post things after a long and unexcused absence!
Also, I have a music Tumblr blog now and I’ve been in the beginnings of working on some spoken word pieces accompanied by music. Now you can’t say I’ve been slacking off...

…the world, however, continues to get dumber.
Ladies and gentlemen, erotic fan fiction is now the only way of becoming the next New York Times bestseller. Even if your book was once a literary classic.
I guess my first thought is that, even more so than ever, I feel like I’m writing not for a hundred likes, to be featured, to be whatever it is that signifies real...

I'd Go Amish For You: A (Rough Draft of an) Essay
Please give thoughts. Be brutal. It’s a super rough draft that needs polishing, after all. And, for those who don’t like reading for a while, the short version of this is basically the sentence, “I really don’t like texting and such” over and over.

I hate to be the guy that uses gifs to explain himself, but…dear lord, my face…
I like wanted to ask him if he needed help or something. Maybe a hug, I dunno. Kid just seemed really lost.

Costume Party (Excerpt)
But this girl on the balcony put her phone away as she continued gazing in my direction and I wondered if she was thinking the same thing. I wondered if she bought into the same lie as I had walking into this costume party, believing that charming love was something of a bygone era and we had a one night only pass back if we dressed the part. I realized the truth is we were all lying tonight. We...

I got locked out of my own Tumblr for a day or so.
Forgot my own password and email.
Yep.

WatchFor those who missed the reviews over the past few days, here is a playlist of selections from my six favorite records of 2012 so far. If you want to read the reviews on Sucre, fun., Chairlift, Beach House, Perfume Genius, Sigur Ros, or any of my other dumb thoughts on music, each name should link to the review when posted.
Also, check out the following bands/albums that just missed the list:

Dreams and Ashes: Today my hero died. →
dreamsandashes:
I’ve been writing Ray Bradbury a letter for the longest time, trying to explain to him the impact that his writing and essays has had on me, and asking him if one day he would like to meet for tea and talk for a little while. It was a simple wish, but it was mine, god damn it. I knew he was old….
We lost a great force in the writing community today. This is an absolutely...

The Best Albums of 2012...So Far.
Some days, I wish I could hate trying to discover music.
No, seriously.
It would be convenient and blissfully mindless to simply stop buying records and start listening to whatever’s on pop or sports radio. Maybe I could pick up more friends with my new, one-size-fits-all music taste. “Oh, you like Kenny Chesney? Me too! I like the one where he says things about trucks and mediocre...

Moonrise Kingdom
“I love you, but you have no idea what you’re talking about.”[[MORE]]
There came a moment deep into Wes Anderson’s newest movie, Moonrise Kingdom, that turned the movie from simply breaking my expectations to becoming an instant classic. Sam and Suzy, the film’s naively rebellious 12-year-old lovers and lead characters, veer off from their summer camp escape to...

The Empire of Flowers
The following is part of a collaboration between myself and one of the most eager, funny writers I’ve met via Tumblr, Vernon Carter Ross. Aside from his liberal use of the words “fashow” and “dope” (I went there, Vernon, and I kind of apologize), he is definitely one of the more interesting and passionate writers I’ve collaborated with on here and I encourage...

Want Free Music, Ya Jerks?
I found 5 old, blank CDs today. It was a cool find even though one might be too scratched up, but I’m opening the floor to you all:
Send me a message. Write some of your favorite artists and I’ll make a mix. Write some words that describe the kind of music you like and I’ll try to match them up with corresponding songs. Write a short story and I’ll make a soundtrack to it. The first five that...

Coachella Ticket.
I just bought one for Weekend 1.
This isn’t me bragging. This is more a “I’m actually surprised they didn’t sell out 30 seconds before I could get a ticket” post.
Also, anyone want to be my friend and be my camping buddy for the weekend?
