scratch my name in the table

i was at school today
for roughly 19 hours
& have nothing to show for it

allergies are destroying my life

when you have dreams about the apocalypse
it should be a sign your day is gonna be shit

back in the city

im looking to do a new zine series
one month
each one having a separate theme
now its just a matter of finding the time

i got two fish from my dad
cocktails & dreams are now part of
the big blue house family

it was a lazy sunday
vegan brunch
then drove to school
hung around
had thai for lunch
then helped sara shoot some
it was a nice way to start the next 3 weeks

she never called
i knew she wouldnt
but i was still a little suprised

also
i wouldnt advise
watching your parents home movies
from when they were kids
its just a weird experience

cocktails & dreams

va beach iv filled with
a million different emotions for me
this entire past summer
coupled with a cousin who committed suicide
& a dad who is 50 & living with his sister
does not make for an enjoyable weekend

taking back sunday blasted on the way there
& lawrence arms on the way back to dc

a new unicorn
great
another girl to keep me awake at nite

2 nites ago i had a dream about lauryn
since then ive been fucked in the head

the ocean water tastes like your spit
& the air smells like your hair


more later

unicorns & rum

at what point is it appropriate
to laugh at the joke
your life has become

quit while youre ahead

cut your losses
& hope for the best

va beach this weekend
should be fun
i need out of dc

2 girls have been
tearing my mind to bits lately

all i want to do
is lay in bed
& watch the wonder years
then life would be ok

sincerely me

instead of going to a pop punk show
with a friend i havent seen in a while
i ended up making a new chap book
of recent poems & photos
edition of 10
all called for/decided for
titled please drive faster

i dont know who the fuck reads this
but if you do im assuming you know
that all my books tend be based
on a relationship thats failed
in the recent past
well this chap book
is a what the fuck am i doing
of the recent past
the relationship opportunities
that i have had
i havent wanted
& the relationship opportunities
i have wanted
i havent had the chance at

while i enjoyed making a new chap book
i still would have rather
gone to the show


in high school i made friends
zines & chap books
under the name zero zero press
& i miss sharing that creative process
so ive decided to start an all encompssing
media outlet i guess is the best term for it
no roses no skies
please drive faster
is the first title under this name
hopefully to come will be
more chap books/ zines
hopefully some real published books
& even higher hopes
of eventually putting out some records
if you want to get involved
or have anything to contribute
definitely get in touch

from this day on

i didnt think it was possible
to be let down
if you never
got your hopes up
to begin with

wash me away

i realized today
that art school
is not for people
who have a low self esteem

im questioning all sorts
of everything right now

my next four weeks
are going to be hell
i have so much to do

planning of the georgia bike trip
has begun

i just need summer

running on empty

ive decided
once i move away from a place
im never moving back

it finally hit me today
how mentally fucked up
i really am
ive left every girl ive ever been with
because id convinced myself
they were unhappy
simply for the fact
that i personally
couldnt believe
that there was any way
they could be happy with me

theres a three girls
that i still think about on a daily basis
& only reason why
(most likely)
is because i never got the chance with them
& i continuously wonder
if one of them was maybe

if i know i end
everything i start
why am i continuously searching
for new beginnings?

play none more black "this is satire"
& mewithoutYou "brother, sister"
simultaneously
at incredibly loud decibels
& youll understand
my mental & physical state
of the past week

please drive faster

anything easy
isnt worth having

projects are brewing
my photo final will hopefully
be a photo/video/ installation piece

i finally realized why i love pop punk
its fucking amazing to run to

who knew the girl from xiu xiu
was so fucking gorgeous
& being in xiu xiu
doesnt hurt either

steve & i had another good
few hour conversation tonite after work
hes slowly become one of my best friends
& i only see him at work
& hes 7 years older then me
but he helps me sort out
all the fucked up shit in my head

got a text a from a friend the other nite
new found glory & set your goals in baltimore
how else can you respond to a text like that
except with
fuck yea


knowing that one day
ill be able to drive around again
listening to gaslight anthem
& insane volumes
makes me sleep easy at nite

no roses no skies

ive slept about 4 hours
in the past 55
some how im still functioning
it was to finish up a project
& it was completely worth it
maybe a new direction
i guess i will find out

ran into an
acquaintance/ huge crush today
& it just made me lonely
i wanted to talk to her
& ask her to hang out
instead i mumbled & stuttered
a few meaningless words/ phrases
she has a life & possibly person she likes
while i spend my days
mindfucking myself
& my nites not sleeping
in order to make art

you win some
you lose some

wishful puppeteer

ive been kicking my own ass
with projects lately
a couple installations
a video & sound piece
if you can keep your head
everything will work out

allergy season is here in full swing

i decided today
im enjoying the vegan thing
its been like 2 months now
& its going well
vegan pancakes
are the best thing to wake up to
& vegan chicken salad
is pretty good as well

well things are good
my mind is still
a wrecking ball
out of control


ps if you dont like the lawrence arms
i cant be your friend

its over im gone

i want to quit everything
move to kansas
& be a post man
live in a tiny house by myself
& watch the sunset every nite
over empty midwest fields

in search of augustine

sometime in high school
maybe junior year
i developed in my mind
exactly the type of girl
that i want to be with
personality look attitude
everything
the problem thus far
isnt that i havent found this girl
its that when i do
shes going to be way out of my league
& want absolutely nothing to do with me

still trying to change

more of my photo projects on here
i know no one reads this
but it helps me sort shit out
