i remember paradise
six weeks ago
wake up because
i wanted to do
what i'd chosen to do

i remember paradise
8 hours of work
in front of computer
recording
mixing
creating

i remember paradise
my own agenda
nothing forced

i remember paradise
i accomplished more
than any two weeks ever

i remember paradise
no boss
no teacher

i remember paradise
and shit like that

today's discoveries:

pills for acid reduction
do ease the pain
of heartburn

i still get scared of haunted houses

if shopping at aldi
makes you feel poor
don't use
wal mart
as a chaser

avoiding the issue
will not
help your
finances

overeating will also do little to change the situation

but
eating 50 eggs will make
you a hero

trying extra
hard to get
attention
only makes it more
disappointing when you
fail

i don't like jenny lewis

i'm just like everybody
on saturday night
i want loud
alcohol-induced
fun

because that's nothing like
the rest
of the week
when i sit around
and wish that i were being
more productive
instead of
just blogging about
it

C.Ray Harvey is...
the loving husband
excelling student
musically expressive
drug-free
fun-loving
gentleman

C.Ray Harvey is...
the brooding consumer
lying trickster
deceptively friendly
hope-free
sex-loving
bastard

it's torturous
to sit
and sit
on something you've finished
and can't reveal yet

i want opinions
impressions
praise
ridicule
etc

not that it
matters
what people think

i just need them
to think it

it feels so good to have something done
and done right
