Friday, September 9th, 2011I built a banjo once. Twice, actually. Neither of them were good. The first time was relatively inspiring, and the second time was absolutely heartbreaking. I have decided to never ever embark on a big project ever again. It’s so discouraging and frustrating and time wasting and blah blah blah et cetera. No, instead, I [...]
The Songs You Didn’t Know You Loved
Wednesday, August 31st, 2011One of my new Austrian friends asked me the other day what music I like. I hesitated for a long time and didn’t really give a good answer, though I have weeks of music on my computer that I love to listen to. This post is effectively a mixtape of music that I won’t be [...]
Schloss Weitra
Thursday, June 30th, 2011It wasn’t until I had walked through the entire courtyard, up the stairs, through the iron gate, up the next few stairs, and came upon the courtyard from the second floor did I realize that the courtyard was, indeed, outside. In fact, I hadn’t noticed much about any part of the castle until I took [...]
Songs About the Country
Thursday, June 30th, 2011I live in a very small town. If you didn’t know. I like it. Very much. I shan’t live in this small town specifically, but I do believe I shall live in a small down when I settle down. These are songs about the country. Canadian Goose and Move To Town. I especially like Canadian [...]
Osama bin Laden
Tuesday, May 3rd, 2011If I were better at drawing, I would post a comic here. This is how it would go: Frame 1: A crowd of young adults stands outside the whitehouse. They are drawn to be hyperbolic ‘college age hippies.’ Dreadlocks, tiedye shirts perhaps, at least one forearm tattoo displaying a cross or silhouette of a crucifix. [...]
Kinder Games
Tuesday, April 26th, 2011Today I swung on swings in the park. Someday soon I’ll have to take photos exclusively of the park. Maybe I’ll do that tonight! Night photos of a big playground will be sweet. As I was swinging, I remembered a game from my childhood. As kids we seemed to look for every opportunity to throw [...]
Lonesome Wolf in Austria
Thursday, April 14th, 2011In ten days I will have been in Austria for a month. I am officially a resident of Weitra Stadt, I have a bank account and real bank card, I have and am presently wearing authentic leather pants, and I can tell the shop keepers that I’m just looking, though it may take me a [...]
Cardboard Wings
Monday, March 21st, 2011Birdlips – Cardboard Wings Yesterday’s fallen rain for tomorrow’s rising steam And I am sealed inside this vessel somewhere in between Behind the hissing frigid air, behind the sheets of metal My throat is caught on a cluster of knots and my heart has nowhere to settle I stuff some things in bags in the [...]
Lonely Haiku
Friday, March 18th, 2011There is a difference between being and feeling alone and lonely.
What [the] Fish [do we] Know
Sunday, March 13th, 2011Zhuangzi and Huizi were strolling along the dam of the Hao River when Zhuangzi said, “See how the minnows come out and dart around where they please! That’s what fish really enjoy!” Huizi said, “You’re not a fish — how do you know what fish enjoy?” Zhuangzi said, “You’re not I, so how do you [...]
