6:59pm: Hey there!

I've decided to go the (mostly) friends only route, so comment if you'd like to be added...have a nice day!

3:51pm: A Report from the Philadelphia Show (the 23rd)

10:02am: DPT at the Bowery Ballroom

10:32pm: just some words
Speeding swivering turning
when I'd rather be on my feet
I could drive for hours and get nowhere
when I'd love just to wander a crowded street

Compare the ideas of lonely:
no one in a crowd
versus long dirt driveways
and sleepy little towns

My town is a still life
I know all it's hues
The roads all lead back home
speed for miles it's of no use

I would set myself among thousands
Let the commotion swallow me up
I want to be somewhere I cannot fathom
So I would never be stuck

6:48pm: If you were ever curious
The inspiration for one of my stories, and it was in turn inspired by Down In Albion on repeat:

Night Wanderers

Transversing the rooftops
Yoweling into the night
Godless hyms, prayerless pleas
Spirits haunting the man made jungle

They are the wild things
Urchin instincts guide them like foxes
Lamenting the Sun
Barking the moon
Caterwauling Freedom and despair
in equal measures

Wordless chants to raise the dead
Scream out listen for the call back
Of dirty faced strangers-be one yourself
Just down the alley
They'll know just who you are

Scower the streets find the cracked souls
Tie up your scarf and shiver
Pretend You're never going home

Crow till the sun wakes up
then curl up and die
turn to stone till
its safe to come out again
to see the night sky

6:41pm: From my seat on the floor
What I want to hear when I'm so weary;
just eyes and simple
Could be picked up and cradled
carried away
slack rag doll.
Yellow light echoing off brass
smokey radiator hot rusty bones
Cool puffs of air flit in
from little holes in the floor
between the boards and plaster
Just one light on
winning the battle with the setting sky
Lonely in a way that almost feels good
wistful optimism from a safe nook.

Maybe it only lasts for a few moments
new song comes on
life wakes back up
the sky is black and gone
and then you have to get up and run
tie your scarf before you go.
