On how to eat an elephant, and letting yourself suck . .

I'm listening to a couple of songs I consider exquisite. I've been addicted to New Slang by The Shins for some days on repeat (I know, I'm late. I didn't get the memo, and I didn't see "Garden State"): It's soft and melodic, but I just noticed that the words I can hardly understand because they're... Sign in to see full entry.

Xochi

Your name Xochi means flower your hair is red as the face of the Spaniard who felled a daughter of the sun catching firewood You are 20 now and burn on the pyre of a dark-haired man unwind your hair with a tortoise-shell hush butterflies from the tangles of the day You are my rose-toed vision in a...

So. . .I know nothing about relationships!

All this time I have thought I knew it all. Be honest and straightforward....pre-emptive strike honesty. Tell any guy that I like how much I like him and he's sure to tell me how much he likes me back. And then, make excuses for no phone calls, and for...whatever. I'm sharp. I was in gifted and...

I'm going to start defining those things more and more for me — I've certainly been a coward about things long enough. So, what makes life worth living? 1) Bubble baths. I refuse to live a...

The Killers: I know when I really like something. . .

I'm a tireless enthusiast and I tend to be, in particular, a music evangelist. I truly believe that good music can be great poetry. Well, I can't include the song here as an attachment so people can here the lyric/sound combination but the title track from The Killers "Sam's Town" has some of the... Sign in to see full entry.

31 Years

For 31 years I have pulled myself over Asked myself to touch my nose Stand on one foot and walk a straight line Inevitably I am wearing bad shoes Bought at a superstore boycotted By all of my friends with political conscience And which I frequent with furtive avidity The shoes, crafted from a...

Dream admission

Okay, so I've decided to give this whole dreaming thing a chance. I've suppressed my dreams over the years, and I have no one to blame for this but myself. I either stopped REALLY dreaming or, in some ways, I never gave myself permission to chart my journey to the metaphorical stars. I walk,... Sign in to see full entry.

So, on this St. Valentine's Day, I discovered

that there is a blogit channel for mature and adult audiences. You mean I could be receiving clicks for writing saucy confessional tales of schoolgirl delights, Arabian nights, practicing kissing and S&M fights? I'd do it tastefully, you know, good lighting and all that. And I'd use a pen name,... Sign in to see full entry.

Cosmic reluctance

So this soul is about to be born and he says to God, he says, "Okay, I see I don't have a whole lot of choice in this life thing. But can't I just telecommute?" Sign in to see full entry.

blog-curious: Are there flirtations and. . .

even love relationships going on all over blogit? I catch not so subtle hints here and there...full dialogues complete with hearts and roses on comment pages, poems dedicated to others and with references to new friends—names I recognize from my blogit perigrinations—that are making people happy.
