Telephone. April 15, 2008
You called to say you had a good time
We stayed on the phone for thirty minutes
Hung up, tired and happy.
You called to say you missed me
We’d see each other tomorrow
Hung up, excited as ever.
You called to say you were happy
This, us finally happened
Hung up, feeling like nothing could tear us apart.
You called to say you were sorry
Mistakes happen
Hung up, grateful for forgiveness.
You called to say you were there
No more night alone
Hung up, running.
You called to say I love you
Forever
Hung up, planning a wedding.
You called to say what should we do
Neither of us knew
Hung up, worried and sad.
You called to say
No you didn’t call
You couldn’t call
I was away and it was over
A product of my own stupidity
If I had hung up, it would have been with tears.
You called to say you were ok
We stayed on the phone for thirty minutes
Hung up, like old times.
You’ll call today
We’ll make plans
I’ll hang up, happy to just be your friend.
Reckless Abandon…. April 14, 2008
“I learned a lot today
not sure if I’ll get laid and
not sure if I’ll fail or pass
kissed every girl in class
everybody would waste it all
to have a summer that they could call
a memory that’s full of fun
fucked up when it’s all done”
This summer, despite it all is looking to be pretty fucking amazing. Sure I’ll have to either work full time at the Park or part time at the mall along with taking a class. But hey, that means spending money and edumacation. The odds of seeing Marie are looking slim but when are they not? Sarah is going to be pretty booked all summer but I’m not worried about that because she’s going to Nashua Tech next year so I’ll have her to bum with during the school year. Rachael and James will probably be spending every waking minute with each other but I feel this is one time where it’ll be acceptable; they are after all going to be thousands of miles away from one another. Johnny should be around as far as I know, and I’m going to actually make an effort to hang with him. I mean, CHRIST we live five minutes from each other. I hope to see Ian and Steve too, maybe a trip to Boston or the beach but I know that’s hoping for too much. So you’re probably thinking, what the hell is amazing about all this? Well I’ll tell you. Socrates. He’s the one friend that I know will be here and we (whether he likes it or not) are going to wreck havoc. He’s finally 18, I’m 19. We’ve got cars, money and a decent sense of adventure. This is one mountain I’m totally willing to climb.
Now, speaking of mountains I watched the movie “Into The Wild” last night. Directed by Sean Penn, based on the novel by Jon Krakauer. Tells the story of Christopher McCandless – an American wanderer who with little food and little equipment, hiked into the Alaskan wilderness to live a life of solitude. Less than five months later he died near Denali National Park, of starvation (from Wikipedia). His inspirations were Jack London, Thoreau and Tolstoy. Thoreau and London happen to be some of my great inspirations as well. I would give anything to live in the solitude of the environment, just writing, painting, and doing some photography. Now, also combine that with my love of Kerouac and “Easy Rider” and you have the next great adventure story right there. Now, I do not think I would go into the wilderness without a map but since I do not even know how to properly read a map I suppose it wouldn’t make much difference. As some of you may know, I was saving up for a trip to California. Do the old Route 66, sleep under the stars and wind up in SF or LA. As much as I love the city, frankly it is not the safest idea in the world. I would rather get lost in the woods than get raped and strangled by some LA gang. So, I have slightly revised my plans. First off, since I will most likely be going to UML in the fall I plan to do a university exchange program and get out to the Alaskan university. That would make me incredibly happy. However, if that does not come to pass I will be doing summer trip after my (hopeful) 2011 graduation, in which I would combine the California/Alaskan adventure trip. I wouldn’t mind some company so if anyone is interested then let me know. Hiking experiece would be good, as well as map reading skills. So that is that. And whatever happens, happens.
I promise tomorrow I will have a short short story for you. It’s not even a page but I feel like I should post some real writing up here.
Christopher McCandless.
Electricity = bad. April 12, 2008
Almost had a complete tragedy happen. My computer got short circuited last night and I thought I lost everything. Luckily only the battery needed to be replaced and my data was saved. So I’ve just spent the whole afternoon backing up my system with both external memory and DVD:RWs. To calm myself down last night I watched Party Monster, Without A Paddle and Star Wars: ROTJ. Might I say…I’m in love with Seth Green.
I think perhaps, I have a thing for redheads.
And I’m Calling You…From 10,000 Miles Away. April 11, 2008
I wrote a lovely piece of literature yesterday but did not get around to posting it. I’d do it now…except the paper is sitting on my bed like a dead duck – completely useless. I’ve realized that I have really neglected my writing of the short story kind. That makes me sad. This was a rather pointless post. I’m sorry to have wasted your time.
Glass Photography (Episode VI: Return of Spring) April 10, 2008
Sorry for all the Star Wars references. Just been totally geeking out lately with that. Even have an adorable Luke Skywalker background on my laptop. Anyways. Class got out early and because this was such a beautiful day I did some picture taking. Enjoy!
Final Steps. April 9, 2008
Finally, the final steps to getting this internship at LNHP again are coming around. I just have to write a short essay and submit it by Friday. I’ll know whether or not I have the job by April 30th. Seems like such a long ways away but with the way time has been flying lately I know it’ll go by fast. Especially with all the projects I have going on. Let’s see….
* I’m in a short one act play called Playwriting 101…I’m the “Good Samaritan”. Performing it this Thursady.
* Working on a comparison paper between Faulkner’s Barn Burning and Lee’s To Kill A Mockingbird.
* Working on a photographical interpretation of Kesey’s One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest for English Comp II
* Doing a statistical survey of birds for Math Modeling.
* Starting sketches for Geometry in Art, also from Math Modeling
Basically I’m pretty tied down. I need to start writing that application essay, so I’m going to head out and do that. Seeing Socrates this afternoon which always makes for an interesting time

Oooh Fancy, Eh? April 7, 2008
Any of you bloggers notice the new format of wordpress’ layout? A little more spiffed up and such, seems very nice indeed! As you may have guess I’m feeling much better. A nice weekend laying on the couch watching Star Wars and reading fanfiction (of the SW genre obviously) is the quickest way to get better. So I thought I’d share something with you readers that made me laugh my ass off.
Holidays at the Skywalker-Solo residence. So cute
Apparently, When I’m Sick I Can’t Think Of Titles. April 4, 2008
Yea, yea. Sad attempt at humor I know. But dear readers, be gentle. I’m feeling rather under the weather. Sore throat, aches and tiredness. Just a common cold, but here’s the thing: I typically don’t get colds. I get the whole life threatening stay-out-of school/work for two months with frequent visits to the hospital. Joy, right? Yea ok. The common cold is just annoying. Like an itch you can’t scratch. Tylenol Cold really does nothing…just makes me want to sleep (even the daytime version). I don’t even know how I caught it. No one I know is sick. I’ve been drinking my juice and eating oranges. Taking the vitamins. I don’t even have a lot going on right now so it’s not like I’m being overworked. I don’t know. Maybe I just touched some infected thing and it moved into my system. My immune system is really shot to hell anyways. Just thought I’d throw that out there since I am lacking anything else to blog about.
