tracewilliamcowen:

Find your friend
with sad long feathers
He waits for you
He waits forever

Find this friend
with sad long feathers

He will sing to you the most beautiful song

Find your friend
he’s out in the weather
The rain for you
The rain forever

Find this friend
out in the weather

He will recite for you the most beautiful poem

“Fly!
Fly!
Where once you stood you must now
Fly!”

Follow your friend
He soars
You plummet
Where once you stood
you must remain standing

“You flew
I didn’t!
I just don’t get it!”

“I’m a bird
You’re a person
I thought you knew”

“I didn’t.”

“Well, now you do.
It’s true
It’s true
I’m a bird
You’re a dude”

“Just a dude?”

“Just
Only
Day and night
You will only take flight
in your dreams
So I suggest…”

“Yes?”

“I suggest you sleep.”

Thank your friend
find a pillow
Rest your head
but don’t sleep forever

You are not a bird
but you can fly
Imagine wings
Meet the sky

Friends are found and lost again
but atop a pillow
We shall never end.

mmhmm.

a trip into the secret online "cloud" by CNN:

maybe the greatest thing i’ve ever seen on the cnn website. although, i can’t say i’ve seen a lot on the cnn website because i rarely visit. however, i’m glad i did on this particular day because of the video accompanying this story.

“this is my recipe for if you’re a dirt bag bachelor… for tuna noodle casserole… for if you’re alone and have nothing. it’s ramen noodles, a can of tuna fish, a slice of american cheese and a microwave. if you want to jazz it up, see if your roommate has any bacon bits or red pepper flakes you can steal. enjoy.”

so i’m late at these things. i was hoping for a better picture to happen while i was out among the insanity of kent, but most of the people who took my picture were complete strangers, and therefore i do not possess those images. however, there are a few kaleigh took and one to come in the distant future that is forever held on film via the disposable camera my mom gave me to finish off. i have the kling thing halloween and the brittain road estate dancefest next saturday, so possibly some photo opps there. either way, most of you have trumped me, costume-wise. i mean, frida khalo? kat von whatserface? various star creatures? i’m lost for words.

in an effort to tackle this case of procrastination...

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 21:24:01 -0500

… i will begin with more things that seem like procrastination. i should be studying/designing a look book for my corporate ID class, instead, I will proceed with the following tasks [in an obvious effort to get my entire life more organized and ready for accomplishment]:

-laundry
-ridding my floor of random stuffs.
-actually giving away the things in “give away” piles.
-beginning my annual semi-organization of my itunes.
-packing up my “i open these books once a year or less” shelf to take to my parents.

while it might seem to some that I am avoiding doing actual work, this is merely the first step in getting things done. and tomorrow, i WILL be on time. yes.
