god I hate when the garbage truck comes in the morning. my head is a mess. I shouldn't have had all that red wine last night, but it was such a good night, drinking our sorrows away. I haven't slept for hours and I'm not sure if I feel sick or not. I had some tea while the sun started to rise. it's getting brighter by the minute. orange juice? sleep? painkillers? maybe I'll watch a movie. my head feels as heavy as an anvil. |

I write sentences but I just keep deleting them, and finally I end up not posting anything at all. I just thought I'd tell you. I'll cry myself to sleep tonight. |

1999 by Kevin A. González
We were driving to your funeral
& our father was not crying
because he has a way
of tying ribbons around grief.
It was the year we learned
the piercing that prefaces the blood
holds the most delicate of darknesses.
Then it was the year we opened
all our faucets & waited for the sea
to bleed to death. Then it was the year
we set fire to your mitt. Then, suddenly
the year we started to believe
every thorn was just a bridge.
Then the year all we talked about
was boxing. Then the year
my stomach hurt all year, & then
the year no one spoke of you.
If there were an antonym for suicide
we could all choose when to be born.
I would have been born after that day
so I could not remember you.
So my fingers would stop pointing
at all the things that aren’t there

I'm back from England. I've gotten a tumblr.
I don't know what else to say. It all feels quite surreal.

oh goddd. I'm listening to Good Charlotte's "The Chronicles of Life and Death" for the first time in like, forever. all the feelings just come rushing back. I'm not ashamed to say that this record had a huge influence in my life. Good Charlotte helped me through some tough times. and I don't care if you think they're posers or mainstream or whatever, their music was honest to me. "Wounded" still remains one of my favourite songs. I love them. a part of me will always love them. even when I grow up old and apart. god, Good Charlotte. I owe you for saving my life so many times. thank you.
"it wasn't so long ago that I was laying in the backyard under the stars wondering what this would feel like. what was left of a pretty broken family, we were forced to move out of our home and into a little farmhouse in the middle of nowhere Maryland. miles from everything - with no car, only a guitar, records we loved and a lot of time to dream. I remember that time in my life so clearly, like it was yesterday. in the winter we passed the cold nights talking about how it would be on tour with our favourite bands. wondering what it was like in California, how everything would get better once we made it. we spent the summers in the backyard writing songs, daydreaming about what it would be like once we got here, and here we are. on the eve of one of the proudest times in our life, the chronicles of life and death will leave our hands and into those of people that we love. a lot has happened in the last few years and this album is our hope of telling what we've learned and hopefully giving something back to all of you that have made all this possible. this record is our pledge to remember what music means to all of our lives, that we refuse to forget where we came from and the hope that the bands we loved gave to us. this music has given us all somewhere to go, a place to belong..." - Benji Madden (Good Charlotte) |

so I started my own music blog, read it here. I can't stop writing about music. It's mostly about indie/folk + Belle & Sebastian type of music, with reviews, lists, mixes and recommendations.
otherwise.. I don't know, I've been hanging around at home. started working out, cutting down on snacks etc. don't have much school nowadays. been watching a lot of movies and finding new music as well. just watched Yes Man, I liked it. I love Zooey Deschanel. goshhh.
also I've been dreaming a lot about London. I want to move now. nooooooooow
oh well I'm tired. |
