2.Infinity

Looking back on ALL those posts I wrote throughout this past summer is such an exhausting task considering the heavy topics they discussed like existential relativism, story narratives in popular music today, ukraine and russia upsetting the market, immorality of photoshop and waldo: where is he?! ha.

To be honest, I am genuinely disappointed in myself. Not because I starved you of the indulgence my blog truly is, but due to the simple fact that writing is therapy. I think I could've solved some problems much easier if I had the patience to open Flynn, jot brain doodles, publish, read, edit, then publish again. If only... OH WELL! I shan't be one to dwell on regret, that's 2009 Kanye's thing.


Side note: I'm planning to continue Pinkies Up for the rest of the school year, but for realzies this time. Though, don't expect one per week. More like one per exam when Madeline is feeling stressed.

ONTO THE NOW EDITION OF TONIGHT'S PROGRAM
"The NOW is a quick recap on past events...it's supposed to be ironic and stuff"

Now that we've had the talk ("it's me, not you"), watch this video. (Because that's follows a logical train of thought.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxPcQeYx43g

Now read this poem:

oblivion, here i am

little me, little lamb
crossing the rubicon
too far gone
another self left behind
never again of my kind
who is this steering?
who waits at the clearing?

shiver runs down my spine
a fear tasting like fine wine
battle scars melt into bone
no such thing as "fully grown"
shouting orders at a mule
when i too am a fool
control, a theory at best,
adorned like armor on the chest

silver stone rectangles
spurt from fallen leaves
labeled by others
for eternity
their shadows dip the earth
in dark, sloppy stains
trampled and forgotten
they lie waste in vain

aren't we all echoes
of the same, soft voice
pretending to be original
pretending to have a choice
this cave of confusion
drips in tears
its history etched
by timeless woes and fears

pride refuses to believe
the dirt where we are conceived
stupidity chooses to forget
its home so bloodied and wet
yet where does this leave me?
am i a fly who picks its web?
or am i a bird ready to soar,
craving every view of every door?

so here i set sail
with no colors to wave
refusing to fail
i voyage from this cave.

Now listen to "Drew" by Goldfrapp, "Viva la Vida" by David Garrett, "Once Upon a Dream" by Lana del Rey, and "The Man Comes Around" by Jonny Cash. No, they're not new or popular, but they are awesome. And my ears are addicted.

THIS CONCLUDES THE NOW.


GOODNIGHT.
