“Sweet Dream” by Greg Laswell

just another little poem

i want to take the hurt away things fall apart, they fall apart so hard you can’t ever put them back the way they were like puzzle pieces for life it takes too much time there’s so much work having to learn if we’re the same people we were if you fit into the other’s life it’s a long and important process and can’t we just skip it?

i'm not who you want

Sat, 02 May 2009 11:21:00 -0400

i’m not who you want,

but i might be the one you need.

you don’t get to like the people you love

and you’ll never love the people you like.

if yes means no, does hello mean goodbye?

if i tried to be reasonable, would you turn me off

after keeping me on?

nothing stands between us

except ourselves

because misery loves company.

-so i wrote that. or i tried anyway.

“

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

”

- “The Second Coming”, William Butler Yeats

WWBD?

Thu, 30 Apr 2009 16:35:42 -0400

what would buffy do? yeah, i made a buffy the vampire slayer reference. besides the fact that it’s actually a very socially aware show, and it has multiple metaphors for real life problems inside its ongoing mythos, it opens the question, “what do we do when we’re against problems bigger than us?” i don’t know about anyone else, but i would certainly like to have superpowers when i have to deal with my life. granted, not very logical, but sometimes it feels like the world just goes under and we can’t fight back up. so what would the buffster do? besides some snarky punning and putting sharp pointy objects through monsters, probably the same thing we do-try and fight, even if we never win.

if you think it, you should say it.

thoughts are not meant to be kept inside. obviously, there are limits to what should be said aloud, but if you think it, you should say it. secrets are fine and dandy sometimes, but people should say what they think, concequence free. alas, the world in which we live cannot be as such. i wish there were things i could say to certain people about the way i feel about them and have there be no penalties, but i can’t. i should.

I made this after I went to Chicago, which was probably the nicest city ever.

“

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbow’d.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

”

- “Invictus”, William Ernest Henley

Why Are People So Weird?

Wed, 29 Apr 2009 14:52:46 -0400

I mean, mostly people are weird in a good way. Like a very good friend, she’s crazy as anything, and possibly the strangest person I know (discounting myself), but she’s awesome. It’s amazing how she just is who she is all the time. Really, it’s incredible. You should meet her one day…change your life. Anyhoo, people are weird. We think, we move, we are-but why? Why do we do the little things that make us who we are? Why do I have a problem with wrists, the word “syringe”, and bunnies? Which are really, really creepy if you think about it. Like, really.

My First

Tue, 28 Apr 2009 21:45:39 -0400

So…my first blog. Ever. Also, like, my first anything. Not exactly the most up-to-date person, but I like myself that way. Favorite of mine, for those interested-Lewis Carroll, hence the title. I’m the little crocodile, and the world is my Nile, with many little fishes. I love all kinds of poetry, most kinds of art, and lots of kinds of music. I’m a pretty well-rounded member of society, so they say. So here I am. No wear, no tear, just here.
