that strain in the back
goes

with the seldom territory
the scandinavian rockabilly
sensibility

we should shake and smoke
because we might just go
at any moment

SHAKE.

go now.

[music |Montezumas - Track 03]

who can dance that way
all alone in the cemetery
all alone in the laundromaut
they were looking for a girl
in the washing machine
in the washing machine
in the loving machine

just like a protocol
just like a pizza pie
with no desire
to make it all into
a fantastic ride

INTO THE FUTURE WE GO!!!

red star angel, take 2 [Dec. 27th, 2004|08:28 pm]

[music |Blanche - Jack On Fire]

here comes the man with the trampoline
here comes the man who wants to take me
here comes the machine of love
the man wears a sweater vest
made of tin foil silk
the man swears he's got himself
a fair trade for my nicotine spill
the man wants my love
for his machine of junk
his machine of love

if I chew off my leg
If i laugh off my arm
you won't return the devilish charm
my cigar smelling father
the rogue and swarm
this beehive is full of trash

here comes the MAN
here comes the MAN
here comes the MAN with all good intentions
and pockets lined of tin
pockets full of nicotine fingers

take my garbage

[music |Wilco - At Least That's What You Said]

there was cold
and then there was this
for which I was unprepared
because it looked so pleasant
that I didn't bring a scarf
or a mitten
and it was cold

it gets colder
but it never lasts
longer than it really needs to.

next time,

I'll remember to bring a mitten.

it seems

we've lost touch

and here we are again!


with tambourines

and crazy sexy machines


working not working

scratchy throats seem to work




the world seemed better from the bed I refused to get up from
let me get back to it
I'll pay the bills I swear I swear I swear

what about the kids I never had and the girls I love to love and love much more than I ever should


well then
here we are again.

we came for peace
and left when the tanks rolled in

there's a church in the garden

we came with all intentions
and won't leave

our guns are big
and the boys are strong

there's a fire in the church
and we won't leave

loving you like hollywood won't change anything at all

but we love you
but we love you

we came for peace
and left the very next day

misery in english is still the same word [Apr. 5th, 2004|05:36 pm]
[music |Wrens, wilco, jayhawks]

Media critics here must be the most depressed people in the world. When I was growing up, mind you this is 10 years ago, the news were a steady 30 minutes with respectable and predictable portions dedicated to metropolitan news, national politics, international news, the stock market, the sports and the weather. there were 2 government channels with terrible graphics, and three private channels worth a dime but with better graphics, probably some avid workstations. When the private channels started broadcasting, there was a period lasting a few years of a broadcasting spectrum wild west, where anyone with enough money for an Amiga 3000 and a large antenna imported from russia could broadcast. there was no regulation, no spectrum allocation.

you're such a big gun [Apr. 5th, 2004|05:35 pm]
[music |The Jayhawks - The Man Who Loved Life]

after the big earthquake of 1953, the baby boomers were never the same. Everything revolves around the earthquake. all records were destroyed during the earthquake, including birth records and what not. Ownership was as a relative thing that needs to be proven from time to time in the courts of the national law. As of late, theres a national effort to codify and legitimize all land ownership in a theform of a national land record. the offices are across the street from my house nad run by 3 young ladies whom I suspect are a bit more hard working than the average civil servant. The average civil servant that I speak of has been working in the government for average of 20 years and has a luxurious set of benefits that allow them to work a second more lucrative private job with the security of those national benefits. My uncle works for the civil engineering authorities, but only until 2:00 pm. after that he runs a gas station/animal feed store in the village, on a road that leads to the other side of the island. theres nothing special about his gas station except for the fact that during the gambling seasons he hosts some high stakes poker games for the locals. I suspect he does that more out of boredom than the the profit, but i could be wrong.

THESE CIGARETTES WILL KILL YOU [Apr. 5th, 2004|05:33 pm]
[music |Ryan Adams - Sweet Lil Gal (23rd/1st)]

we had a cigarette pack dispenser made out of a shoebox hanging on our wall sophomore year. we would buy cartons from virginia and put them in so we could have access easily and in style when we ran out of smokes. we called it "gregarious gary the cigarette dispenser".
Fast and constant access to full packs made us smoke more than we probably should have, creating a constant haze in the living room. since we were ground level you could see the haze from the street, and people we knew well and not so well would recognize our apartment as a smoking apartment and we become a sorto f halfway house for the smokers. This of course created additional haze. We had to recruit more ashtrays to the cause, and hence "urduk" the big clay duck, and "giorgos" the bottom of a pepsi can attached to the paper carton exterior of a wire hanger. urduk was a large ashtray, which of course begged the question of "how many cigarette butts can it fit". We weren't actually counting but I'll say this; it always fit more than you previously thought it did. There was the "rod" sterling silver ashtray, with roots from a british public school, which made its way into our apartment by ways of theft from the previous year.
Eventually Gregarious Gary was dismantled and unceremeniously retired. the reasons were multiple. the first reason to admit is that the duct tape holding it up gave up on Gary and the cheap wall. i suspect the chemical bonds supporting this union were spread thin from the smoky haze. The other reason was when the winter season starting dawning, it became inconvient to venture into virginia, and we compromised with the taxed cigarettes from wise millers. As such, it was a more prudent financial decision to buy the packs one by one, allowing for a more casual collegial cash flow. the resulting chain of events meant an easier time for all our named objects, and a happier Luis, who not being an object but in fact a cuban-american by ways of Poland, was happy not to be living in what he branded as a deathly cloud of smoke.

the water [Apr. 5th, 2004|05:25 pm]
[music |Ryan Adams - Bartering Lines]

(i thought I'd be there by now)

by now I'd be stealing my own time back. instead i'm sleeping in by about 10 hours more than i should. I wanted to buy a power strip, but by the time I went to the store it was closed. I realized everything was closed cause thats just how it is around here. a local guy who spoke the language broken asked me for a light by the national bank. I gave him a light and walked on. when someone needs a light, you realize it before they even say anything; its the primary reason a smoker approaches another with an unlit cigarette in his mouth. he was sitting in the square after work I think watching his daughter play. theres always new stores around here; pharmacies, couriers, photocopy stores, new construction. theres no jobs, but theres always something going on.

time wasted [Apr. 5th, 2004|05:24 pm]
[music |Ryan Adams - Don't Ask For The Water]

what did pass
the time it seemed
was so little

when will you give me a day
complete and full

we drove across the country
in your small car
it seems we laughed
don't ask me if it happened

it seems like it did
we drove together
mostly

maybe in my head
mostly
it compels me so

my sister said
I don't need anyone to complete my sentences
my friend said
she fucked him 7 or 8 times

what
can this be so lovely
what
can this be so great

[music |the bolat - periwinkleblue]

Giagia has lost it. no one really knows how old she is, we know she's past ninety years that's for sure. she's got a couple of teeth left and moves around on her crutch, crouched over losing an inch or two a year from her total body mass. For every tooth she loses she seems to gain a mole including one on her eyelid. there seems to be a liquid in her eyes and liquid between her skin and her body.
its not that though. it's the memory loss. Read more... )

how it feels so long after the glow is gone
and i don't care
about your land
and trees

I'm a sloppy drunk

when did you mutate

I sincerely

beleive


in you


I'm a silly man


when did you change


I never lost


my faith in you


keep taking
keep talking


mispell and my spells

keep talking


such a self centered place to be in


lets get out of here

I'm leaving already.

the good life [Apr. 5th, 2004|05:23 pm]
I went to the local computer store, where the owner is a good friend of mine. he's in his forties, balding on top with a ponytail and a funny little laugh to accompany his rotund appearance. i went straight downstairs to the lab where he wasn't expecting me but was jovial to see me. He never knows when I'll show up, but he knows that when i do I'll go there first and have a few cigarettes with him as he fixes an ancient laptop overcome with windows 98 and the latest virus. The past year its a double feature for me because one of my closest friends on the island, Maki, works there as his apprentice so I get to see them both. After about an hour of some silly conversation, Maki and i figured it was time to leave because we had badgered our last customer with insults about how old her computer was and we were hungry.
