The Aunt

I was so frustrated at Nonna. Why does she have to be so freaking officious?



But it isn't like I could escape. And today I stand here at this white-stucco house with dark blue trim covered in ivy. I stand in a place I haven't stood for ten years.

I never thought I would come back here. I dreamed about it, but it was a place in the past-the eight wonder of the world. And as Nonna rings the doorbell, I realize everything the same. I hear the sing-song tune entering the house. I see the coarse, beige carpet with its furniture resembling some library of the Russian nobility. Nothings changed excluding the new flat screen TV and a Guitar Hero console in the den.

But even as I stand in 1998, I can't bring myself to a level of comfort. I stand at the edge of the hall that connects to the family room. And judging by Her glances, I can tell I am not truly welcome here. I was so angry. Sure, this was my parents' fight. But still: how dare I come here and steal their guests? how do I have the audacity to enter this house like nothing happened?

I have to. And I stand by my mom's green Acura MDX. Displaying a smile, ear-to-ear, like I am OK with everything. But as soon as everyone gets settled in the car, I'm stepping on the accelerator and heading back to 2008.

Fireworks!

I love the fireworks! The colors exploding into the darkness of the night! My, oh my!

But what I do hate is when some punk throws firecrackers onto your driveway at 2:00 in the morning...bitch!


AMERICA! FUCK YEAH!

The one post I never could...

I typed everything I felt. The essence of everything I sought high school to be.


A melange of desire and sloth.

Could it be? Have I committed the deadly 7?
My goals, vivid. But I choose to lust over the future.
Do I just appreciate fantasy ? Do I live in reality?

I stop at the period, and I hit ctrl+w. A chill dances along my spine. I couldn't do it.
Secrets forever?
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

I DID IT!

I finally can say I've accepted it!

No more remorse, no more derision. I can let things
flowwwwwwwwww...


like a river in the woods. like a wave. like blood.

Did I hit rock bottom? I think I did. Now things can finally start.
I cannot undo the past, but I can change the future. (yeah, it's cliche. so kill me!)

Future Islands

If my soul was able to make music, I am pretty sure it would sound like Future Islands. The compositions of their songs is so...compelling! With the vocals: I sympathize with the singer's yelps and pleas (similar to those of Hamilton Leithauser from the Walkmen). However, the singer's voice isn't too discomfiting-it is complemented by poppy synth beats. The music is versatile. Whether you're feeling emo or you're feeling happy, it satisfies all moods.

Caveat on the video: Future Islands seem to like they have been listening to a little too much Dan Deacon.

Anyone can

I never knew how...exact a book could be.


Obscurity vs. Tradition

Tradition wins, and I chose obscurity.

I guess you're going places...
places I could never reach.
