We are vagabonds that travel with our seat belts on.
Though we are always close to death.

Homeless village where the bridge goes over Ashland.
Sometimes I complete my routine and sometimes I don't.
Defying what's expected on the tip of your tongue, I don't stray far.
Maybe it's the aftermath of all of the "last night's."
I'm one year closer, two decades in.
I still haven't figured out what I'm supposed to be doing this for.
They say people that lack religion, lack the drive to live well.
I think they just haven't learned to make themselves happy within themselves.
1 in every 11 minutes spent online is on social networking sites.
hold on, I just barfed on my cup and saucer.
Can we learn what real communication is?
As I stared at the reflection in the glass, my eyes quickly shifted to the cup, which remained empty still.
I kept going for it and then remembered what the inside of it looked like.
A white cat eating vanilla ice cream in a snowstorm.

Oh hey, I'm alive!
Today I did something that made me feel human again.
A guy came into the restaurant and I could tell he was a bit under the influence. I had noticed him standing outside earlier in the day and wondered what he was doing because he had been out there for over an hour. He finally walked in and inquired about a pay phone. I told him we didn't have one but to check the BP across the street. He just looked at me, disheartened. I always get awkward, so I just started talking.. trying to think of what I could do for him. So I found out, it was just a local call so I let him use the restaurant's phone for a minute. I felt so bad for the man because he was trying to get ahold of his wife to come pick him up. He barely spoke english and just kept thanking me over and over and asked me to dial the number for him. There was no answer the first time so he made me call back right away. I called and this time a woman answered so I handed him the phone. When he was finished with the phone call, he kept insisting that he pay the restaurant for the phone call because he was so thankful that we had let him use it. I told him not to worry about it and he told me I was the first person to do him a favor in over two years and I helped to "refresh his opinion of humanity." He left two dollars on the counter and just simply said "Tip. Thank you."
easiest two dollars i've ever made and it made me feel good.
Not a big deal, just something that stuck with me.
Oh and then two black dudes came in, placed their order then asked me to hold off for a minute before putting it in because they were going to have a smoke. The one dude winked at me and was like "we're gonna smoke dope." I laughed because these dudes were like 45. I just said "Enjoy yourselves. I'll put it in in a couple." They came in, ate, and paid. After they left, I walked over to bus their table and i found my tip money in a napkin along with a joint. HAHA. They left me 3 bucks and a j.... life is so funny.

this song is going to be my jam of spring
My shadow and me forever will be, all alone.
a necklace for me of chemistry, take me home.
eat my way out of the mess I made, all alone.
Now it's just me vs. the pharmacy, take me home.
Big bills, tucked in my sweater now
Cold chills, up my spine and down
I've got no problems now
Passive aggressive now
I turn the tables, turn the tables
Turn the tables round
With big bills, tucked in my sweater now
Cold chills, go up my spine and down
I've got no problems now
Passive aggressive now
I'm gonna knock you up
and knock you up
and knock you down
My shadow and me forever will be, all alone
A necklace for me of chemistry, take me home
Delete my emails and silence my calls
Cause I can't explain but send a postcard
Across the world so you can't complain

and what a debate, do you still know my full name?
Let's hear you laugh without oxygen, world!
You've been holding on to make a point, well what's the point?
Cause I took it like a grown man, lying on the pavement
I haven't heard a thing you've said, in at least a couple hundred days
What'd you say?
I never wanna hear the truth, cause your voice it sounded fine.
I can feel my heartbeat taking me down and for the moment I will sleep alright.
I realized then that you were perfect.
And I felt love again.
