Adieu / Farewell
I guess since you did it, I should be able to.
Later days
DECLARATION
Today, I’m the shit.
A veces
Sometimes I feel the nostalgia
Sometimes I feel distant
Sometimes I feel connected and enfranchised
Sometimes I ponder the fate of humanity
Sometimes I feel depressed for no good reason

90
Today is my grandfather’s 90th birthday. The majority of my extended family made the pilgrimage to DC to pay their respects to the clan patriarch… there’s a filial sort of quality to this reunion. There’s a palatable sense of obligation and deep respect for someone so old, wise, experienced. Family from Connecticut to South Carolina made the trek to DC, to simply sing,...

Destruction, Reincarnation
Today I balance between an end and a beginning, a movement of life, miles and minutes from drastic change. Today I must pack all my belongings quickly, efficiently. I must salvage everything of my life in DC. Any item I cannot or do not pack will be archived in the attic for generations.
I must pick up my life and move it to another location. This process is synthetic and a byproduct of...
AN ENDING
This life, it’s just a capitalistic rat race.
“An intellectual is going to have doubts about a fundamentalist religious...”
– Antonio Tabucchi (via riotrepublic). This quote fascinates me because intellectuals so often violate this principle of perpetual interrogation. Indeed, one might rephrase it more accurately by saying that while they should
behave this way, they rarely do.
This is particularly true if they...

Responsibility?
I’m temporarily house sitting (for a few hours) and listening to a bunch of people fuck upstairs.
The guy who owns the house is driving my car around…
Is that adequate collateral/retribution?
Jamie: sorry sorry
Jamie: haha good
Jamie: man, alright
Jamie: i can't look at this picture anymore
Me: hahahaha that's what ALL my guy friends said
Jamie: i'm feeling more and more insecure by the minute
Jamie: i'm ugly

How Corporate Culture Creates Political Apathy...
Brilliant analysis, eloquently phrased.

[Apologies for the long political post, the last on this subject].
One of the defining aspects of youth is political indignation and perplexed incomprehension: how is that no one else sees the lies, sees the injustice, sees the opportunity to fix the world and wants to seize it? In America, this is an especially common lament: why are citizens so...
I detest power-tripping despots
Astigmatism
My eyes flow with the blood of cataracts as I sink deeper into the chair, pondering the possibility of a unified and continuous (black?) racial consciousness. Perhaps that’s the same type of thinking we’ve been trying to shed for the past 500 years, or perhaps only the status quo is at fault for its exertions upon a tired and emasculated history/ancestry/heritage.
Or maybe I’m...

Sunday Nights
Anxiety, foreboding, energy, threat, thinking of something I must do and wilting.
I’ll do it anyway.
Meditation
Have you ever felt like disintegrating?
Have you ever felt an internal schism?
Perhaps it is only the natural trajectory of the human experience.
