Life is short.
I don’t think I’m cut out of the whole “love” thing. It bores me.

Ramblings
I am about to go out with my friends to Morristown. Hitting Grasshopper. I’m with Pete and Tommy. I never see either of them. We’re about to meet up with Kara and Nick. She’s mad. Idfk.
This shall continue.
—four hours later:
I just got home. I wish boys weren’t so stupid. How embarrassing for them. Why would someone get a tattoo of an image from “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas”? And similarly, why would someone ever brag about being to jail or being in rehab. You’re a loser. Thanks for clarifying.
I walked six miles tonight. It reminded me of being fifteen. It could always, and I mean always, be worse.
I need some protein. Another time that “i” does not come before “e.” Fuck the English language! Okay, I don’t mean it.
Peace and love! <3
Hey Father Death, I’m flying home
Hey poor man, you’re all alone
Hey old daddy, I know where I’m going
Father Death, Don’t cry any more
Mama’s there, underneath the floor
Brother Death, please mind the store
Old Aunty Death Don’t hide your bones
Old Uncle Death I hear your groans
O Sister Death how sweet your moans
O Children Deaths go breathe your breaths
Sobbing breasts ‘ll ease your Deaths
Pain is gone, tears take the rest
Genius Death your art is done
Lover Death your body’s gone
Father Death I’m coming home
Guru Death your words are true
Teacher Death I do thank you
For inspiring me to sing this Blues
Buddha Death, I wake with you
Dharma Death, your mind is new
Sangha Death, we’ll work it through
Suffering is what was born
Ignorance made me forlorn
Tearful truths I cannot scorn
Father Breath once more farewell
Birth you gave was no thing ill
My heart is still, as time will tell.

This is absolutely beautiful. The peacock is an ancient symbol for benevolence, patience, kindness, compassion and knowledge in Hinduism. It also represents eternal life in Christianity. It is the guardian to royalty in Persian cultures. And in Greek antiquity its tail holds the eyes of the stars, the vault of heaven.
