AFI Kiss & Control
Part your lips a bit more,
I’ll swallow your fear.
I will show you how.
All the bite marks impress
A need to be here,
A need to see.
AFI - Silver And Cold
Cold in life’s throes, I only ask you turn away
As they seep… into me, oh, my beautiful one, now
AFI - Love Like Winter
She said “It seems you’re somewhere, far away” to his face.
It’s in the blood,
It’s in the blood.
I met my love before I was born.
She wanted love,
I taste of blood.
She bit my lip, and drank my warmth,
From years before, from years before.
Ice cream truck!
But don’t they usually play happy, upbeat songs, like pop goes the weasel or carnival music?
This one is playing Moonlight Sonata.
Yummy frozen treats AND culture.
Uncommon in this stretch of hick country.
How hard is it to throw your cup away when you leave?
Maybe I’m just irritated because she brought her take-out from a nearby restaurant to take up space on the Starbuck’s patio and not only didn’t buy anything here but even had the balls to ask for free water, a fucking handout THEN LEFT IT FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO CLEAN UP.
When kids do shit like that, it’s one thing, their parents haven’t taught them better yet (that yet is me being hopeful). But this was a grown-ass woman.
Throw your fucking cup away.
This rant has been brought to you by recently smoke-free (again) Hatter.
The Tao is like water
Or, a post about what is the closest I’ll come to believing in a religion because I’ve spent a lot of time alone in my head lately waiting for something I can’t control to happen.
The Tao is like water.
It fits uniformly into whatever container it finds itself in.
It changes state with ease to match its climate.
It follows the path of least resistance until it settles peacefully in a place of equilibrium.
But lest you think the Tao is a pushover…
If there are holes or the container is too small, it flows out easily.
In liquid state it can float titanic ships, as ice it can sink them, and as steam can drive a massive engine.
And as it follows that path of least resistance, it carves its signature along the way. Canyons, fjords. A giant boulder becomes the sand of a beach.
We are all citizens of a world mostly beyond our control. Only a fool swims against the current. The truly wise swim with it and shape it to their liking.
Since most of my workday is spent in the shuttle waiting for a ride to give, and when I am driving I’m not too lazy to turn over my shoulder, the rearview mirror is repurposed in the name of vanity.
