Sweet oh luscious life
celebrate your dreams when you are away
doesn't it taste so sweet
like it's growing on oh growing on the trees
growing on t h e t r e e s

"Right, birds can fly so high
And they can shit on your head
And they can almost fly into your eye
And make you feel so scared.
But when you look at them
And you see that they're beautiful
That's how I feel about you"




Some photographs I've taken in the last few days.
SASQUATCH
I'm leaving in three days.
I will see the best line-up I've ever seen,
even after all my bumbershoots and folk fests.
Oh my goodness.
Home,
let me come home,
home is wherever I'm with you.
You blend with those waves
how could anyone
not wave
at your concrete smile

The world is such a wonderful place
The world is such a wonderful place

sea and the rock below
cocked to the undertow

bones, blood and teeth erode
they will be crashing low


wings w o u l d n ' t help you
wings wouldn't help you down

I want to be her friend.
When my thoughts          
drift

to you.
I'm in peer tutoring right now. I adore the grade eights, their something about their simplistic complexity that makes me really fascinated by them.
The dynamic of Wait and the kids, it's like discovery channel.
He's very wise,  but I also learn a lot from the grade eights.
I took a lot of difficult courses this year,
but I think I learnt the most from this one.
The h e a r t is a lonely hunter.

Time is desperation,
pictures on a screen screen.
Hey people,
what does it mean?

Future Reflections.
With my photography I've been taking pictures out of focus a lot lately.
My favourite aesthetic right now is grainy film, I bought this poloraids Taschen book and it's inspired me a lot.
I love things that look like they were taken by your grandma when she got her first camera and was trying to focus on that building but couldn't get it right, and then she put it in a box, and it got put in the attic and maybe was lying in the sun for a bit.
Yeah, that's it.


It was my birthday this past weekend.
Turning eighteen was so anti-climactic,
but it had a few peaks.
I've made a new friend,
and I've lost myself in music,
to an extent where I feel really disjointed from reality when I'm not listening to it.
I dunno.
I want to be Andrew VanWyngarden, whose last name I just massacred,
but regardless,  I feel like I am the female version of him.
I'm seeing them in about five or six days.
I got two Band of Horses CD's for my birthday,
i love cease to begin more than anything,
but Infinite Arms, breaks my heart.
A white blank page
and a swelling rage
You did not think
when you sent me
to the brink, to the brink
You desired my attention
but denied my affections, my affections
As much as I'd like to go,
to places I've never known,
scared shitless to, leave home.
And I don't want to go alone.



I miss the rewarding gaze,
of a friend from my younger days,
didn't mind about my selfish ways,
when he died I was miles away.
When my thoughts drift to you.

I had a dream,
I had a dream,
that I was your neighbour,
and I was so lonely
that I didn't see.

J'adore Emma.


This is what happens when my friends and I drink.
Best birthday party ever.

I am in Powell's room, and all these grade nine girls are fawning over this special needs guy.
It really bothers me.

5.13.2010

Oh, joys arise, the sun has come again to hold you
Sailing out the doldrums of the week
The polyphonic prayer is here, it's all around you
It's all around you out here

After the rain we forget
We make sure we gain then we leave it
‘Cause were a nation of forgetters
Oh after the rain we pretend
It’s easier to begin without looking in

After the rain we forget
After the rain we forget
Alzheimers makes me so sad.
And somewhere on coastlines unknown to me
You paint your d r e a m s,
With reds and blues and greens.
you're painting daffodils by the sea
without me.

Friends, how I have missed you.
I'm in the middle of this creative writing project that's wonderful;
I found this New Age book in Junk Week, called Emmanual,
and it's about this spirit named Emmanual who is 'channeled' through all these different people. The book is essentially a Q & A with the spirit.
For my major piece I'm making a book, the first page of my book is the front page os the Emmanual book, but cut up and re-arranged.
I've created over 80 pages of mixed up poetry. It's working wonderfully,
and I've  been using a disposable camera/film to work with it.
I can't wait to scan some onto the computer.
It's hard to deal with too, because I'm digging up a lot of the past.
Ayeee.
Say no more, use your eyes
The world goes and flutters by
Use your eyes, you'll know you are
Use your eyes, the world goes and flutters by
Use your eyes, you'll know you are
