"....we could plan a murder or start a religon"

I was obsessed with this spoken word poetry album when I was 16. It's still amazing.
I love Jim Morrisons poetry.

SIRENS

Midnight
criminal metabolism of guilt forest
Rattlesnakes whistles catcalls

Remove me from this hall of mirrors
This filthy glass

Are you her
Do you look like that
How could you be when
no one ever could


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Poet of the call-girl storm

She left a note on the bedroom door.
"If I'm out, bring me to."


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I dropped by to see you
late last night
But you were out
like a light
Your head was on the floor
& rats played pool w/ your eyes

Death is a good disguise
for late at night

Wrapping all its games in its calm garden

But what happens
when the guests return
& all unmask
& you are asked
to leave
for want of a smile

I'll still take you then
But I'm your friend

I agree.

A little self indulgent distraction.....

I love this girl.....

I have been following this girl on youtube for about 4 years or so now and she is by far my favourite youtube singer. She has an incredible, unique voice and her originals are breath taking. It was her cover that actually intoduced me to the band bright eyes and Gregory and the hawk.
I find her truly inspirational and beautiful.
Just thought I'd share a crush....

The Never-ending story necklace.

I found my favourite Necklace that I thought I had lost. It reminds me of the never ending story, I bought it from a man off the street last summer. He sold books off the sidewalk spread out on a blanket, he also had lots of necklaces which were all made of antique watches he dissected. He said that each necklace represented a different phase of the moon.
This was the same man who earliar in the same summer had given me and emily a free book. He saw us looking at his books and told us that we reminded him of his dead wife, the only women who he ever loved, he told us he could feel her spirit all around him. Then he carefully examined each of his books and handed us each one; "Sometimes you can just tell what book someone needs, I think books should be prescribed to people like medication". The book he gave me was Immortality, by Milan Kundera and it was a fantastic book. He was right, it was just what I needed. it also led me to read all of Milan Kundera's novels, and he is know one of my favourite authors.
This experience has always stuck with me. I think most people wouldnt have talked to him, or said he was creepy but he was an extroirdinary and kind man.

Rock paper cynic

What is Education anyways?

Since going to university I've found myself becoming increasingly cynical of what being intelligent really is, or what the point of all of it is....
It seems more self indulgent then anything else.
How much do you really learn? or better yet...what do I learn that I couldn't have taught myself?

I'm wondering more and more of less and less.

So what now?

I saw Bright Eyes live and it was incredible.

This song speaks to me
