c.h.a.n.g.e.

sorry blog, i've been distracted and negligent.

i've been amazed and bemused by the number of small people doing big things, and big ones doing small things. petty is a disgusting emotion, but how could i not wonder? and to which category do i belong or want to belong?

in any case, things are moving and changing and morphing... it is not necessarily an evolution, because that would entail "betterment." i guess what i'm trying to say is that i'm trying.

and between tweeting and texting and updating my "status," i feel guilty for this addiction to the viral vomit of everything we do (she says as she types up on the blog).

next post will be a short story.

follow the dots

there's a fine line between underestimating and overestimating oneself...and I'm slowly learning to walk on it...


...while un-cluttering piles of poetry, and vomiting pages of writing, and researching the future of me in news and a few other amalgams of projects, i have found the time to breathe and be a 22 year old.

...found time to paint my nails and talk some sense to the non-sensical (word ref to my dearest Safa), and those that need it most. including myself...
that is to say, a slashed tire or a flat one or broken necklaces or strangers and rude comments or unabashed flattery, get easier and easier to filter through and out.

you know?
you know.

i don't know

here's she, i guess.

the evil in me.

on the back of a cereal box

I'm writing writing writing working working.


Picking up all that was forgotten between bookmarks and a collection of empty bottles. 

And it starts raining as soon as I want to step out. Perfect. I can sit down now and tame myself into discipline again. But my own kind. Everything should be in your own kind. No matter how unoriginal we are. So what if every generation has to rediscover harmony, or revolt?  

The purpose of this blog totally escapes me sometimes. But if you are still reading this, maybe you know why I do it. Maybe I'm addicted to it. Maybe it's always better to have an audience, no matter how imaginary, small, or grandiose. 

But no judgments here, alright?

Here it is, all in here, secretly or out in the open: my life and all that's got to do with it - thoughts, love, sex, doubt, pleasure, disappointment, pain, achievement, hope. My mom always tells me to be more discreet. Keep things to myself. But all I take, I take from somewhere, so what good is it to bury it? Like a squirrel, waiting for (what) winter? I do keep somethings in. A lot of things perhaps. Ask me.
(Like how there are certain muscles in your body that you never appreciate, notice, or touch - I mean really touch. The muscles under your cheeks, for example, or behind your thighs, between your toes.)

Egon Schiele


input:

Toronto- three girls walking in front of me. they're blocking my way. long black hair and shorts. backpacks. three identical charms dangling from the zippers. sisters? friends? cousins? when will they snap out of it?

Berlin- blond, tall, slim boy. mid teens. mostly empty museum. sitting on a bench replicating a pose carved out of marble in front of him. he smiles.

output:

exhales cigarette smoke.
