Okay okay okay. So anyone who has taken an english class in college has probably read this poem, but thats okay because it is the best. yes. ever.

I have some serious dad issues, and as I dig into this one I get all teary eyed. Ah, the broken family, and how we try with our rubberbands and glue...

Those Winter Sundays

Well it's tough to have a crush
When the girl doesn't feel the same way you do
Well it's tough to have a crush
When yer best friend breaks the news

Perhaps you'll find me feelin' better,
In a day or two
But it's tough to have a crush on you

Well, it's tough to have a crush
Who ever knew, such hellabaloo

So I started re-re-reading The Stranger by Albert Camus. I loves it.

I just finished Ali Smith's "The Whole Story and Other Stories." If you've never read her before, you must! She is simply amazing. I've read her "Hotel World" and became an instant fan, but this book of short stories was even better. There was one slow (and rather long) story right in the...

"Just because you're better than me doesnt mean I'm lazy,
Just because you're going forward doesnt mean I'm going backwards.

The factories are closing and the army is full,
I dont know what I'm going to do.
I've come to see in the land of the free
there is only a future for the chosen few."

"Wearing badges isn't enough days like these."
