currently listening to: call it what you want by foster the people








four days.
 
three weeks.

Call it what you want 

yeah we're locked up in ideas 
we like to label everything 
well I'm just gonna do here what I gotta do here 
cause I gotta keep myself free 
you're ducking and moving just to hide your bruises from all your enemies 
and I'm in the crossfire dodging bullets from your expectancies 

we've got nothing to lose 
you better run and hide 
yeah you've crossed the line 
i've got a knife behind my back, just saying 
we've got nothing to prove 
your social guides give you swollen eyes 
but what I've got can't be bought so you can just 
call it what you want 

you've taken your words and you take your judgments 
and stick them onto everything 
if it don't conform to what you were born into, 
then you run the other way 
you say, "now what's your style and who do you listen to?" who cares? 
well that rat race ladder-climbing fake-face smile's got nothing on me

currently listening to: still by jj

life is a funny thing
twists and turns
and in the bad times
it just breaks and burns
but as you get older
you just live and learn
to shrug your shoulders
and be the bigger man









our minds were meant to sail.
take a break from our thoughts 
take a break from this world
and we'll feel miles away
from the places that we used to be



watch a nightmare before christmas: 
"oh there's an empty place in my bones,
that calls out for something unknown" - jack

currently listening to: music by the beautiful girls

"we are friends.
and i do like to pass the day with you in serious and inconsequential chatter.
i wouldn't mind washing up beside you,dusting beside you,
reading the back of the paper while you read the front.
we are friends and i would miss you,
do miss you, and think of you very often."

my pelirrojo. i'm so happy i've gotten to know you this semester. whenever i've gotten sad, whether homesickness or a bed bug panic attack, you've been there to make me laugh and not ask too many questions. you can always make me smile, and you never fail to have a great story to lighten any mood. i like how when you say "i'm not drinking tonight," it really means you're going to drink me under the table and get assaulted by a go-go dancer. he was just jealous because he knew you were going to upstage him anyway... you are incredibly generous with both kindness and material things, always willing to lend a shirt or buy a round. you are beautiful inside and out, i hate to use the cliche, but it applies perfectly to you. you always have so much fun, and i admire what a good attitude you have. i envy your confidence and your dance moves, but i'm hoping to learn both from you this semester and long after. i think you have handled everything lately with maturity that most people our age won't have for a very long time. a three hour menu del dia at juicy avenue with you is the perfect way to spend an afternoon. can't wait to see you and saul tonight, i love you my little bagel!
