Exhaling
It’s about 20 ‘til the new year. Shall I reflect on 2011? Not so much.
It is not that I had neither a good nor a bad year. Rather, I had a successful year, and I know this year will come back to me throughout the next to remind me where I’m coming from and where I’m going to. Granted, I believe that this year has been a lot more tough than the ones prior, but I cannot...

i gut fruit with my mouth
push tongue into black belly of papaya
peel lychee with teeth
bite into ripe pear
suck on stone of mango
all of this, over the kitchen sink
barefoot
middle of winter
sticky hands pushing hair away from face
moaning into sweet flesh
the whole time
your name flat against the roof of my mouth.

Tired, but hella fucking inspired. Finding good vibes everyday is tough shit. Organizing thoughts and feelings for the new year only out of coincidence. This is everyday. Was never waiting; was always moving.

There is a FUNDAMNETAL difference between change and transformation.
I’m writing part 2 of my recap but one of the quiet lessons is that , their is a difference in asking for change , which believes that the underpinnings are good and propr and worthy but need to be adjusted or shifted
and
Transformation , which asks that the entire thing be redone going to it’s base and...

Some guidelines for loving:
1. Tell them about their brilliance. They likely can’t see it and they don’t know its immensity, but you can see it, and you can illuminate it for them.
2. Be authentic, and give others the gift of the real you and a real relationship. Ask your real questions. Share your real beliefs. Go for...

Just Sorting Through Support
Is it troubling to feel that I can’t look to my friends for emotional support because I know that they’re going through their own processes as well? I know it’s kinda/sorta problematic on my part on many levels, one of them being my attempt to avoid defining/stigmatizing them by how they function. I really try not to do that, and I really don’t. At the same time, I know I...

I've never made a mixtape.
dylanlombardi:
But I sure as hell remember times when I would burn CD’s for you as a friendly gesture to update you with the latest songs from today’s popular genre, but secretly include a love song that most definitely described how I truly felt about you.
Call me a hopeless romantic, why don’t you?
It’s been awhile since I’ve done this. Lately, it’s just been utilizing...

It was midday. No, it wasn’t. It was the late afternoon, the early evening. That’s what I thought it was. Really, it felt like we were in a realm of nostalgia, a Lomography photograph, if you will. You were on the other side of a roughly four foot tall, chain link fence. I ran up to you, positioning my feet to jump over. Just as I was about to cross, you wrapped your arms around...

I reimagine.
This isn’t exactly a coherent entry, but I can bear with myself.
Nothing in life will ever “get better,” and no, this isn’t a response to the “It Gets Better” campaign. Rather, life becomes evaluated in some sort of arena that determines one’s health. It’s a little ironic, isn’t it? How we all grow older, and our physical bodies deteriorate....

Before Your Next Date
theangrytherapist:
GIVE vs TAKE
Many go into dates with the wrong mindset. They go in loaded, with expectation. If it’s not to the find “the one”, it’s to match a certain image or fantasy. This expectation creates a cliff. When our date doesn’t meet our expectation or reciprocate, we fall off that cliff. We either believe we are not good enough or there is no one out there. This leads to...

I want to read Letters to a Young Poet. I recall purchasing it two summers ago. I’ve only read a tidbit of the beginning. It’s in my backpack. Maybe in the morning.
I need to start sketches for an upcoming art show. It’s not exactly upcoming, but it is supposedly scheduled for the end of Winter Quarter 2012 at the Cross-Cultural Center....
