is it possible that spring could be
once more approaching? we forget each time
what a mindless business it is, porous like sleep,
adrift on the horizon, refusing to take sides, "mugwump
of the final hour," lest an agenda -- horrors! -- be imputed to it,
and the whole point of its being spring collapse
like a hole dug in sand. it's breathy, though
you have to say that for it

and should further seasons coagulate
into years, like spilled, dried paint, why,
who's to say we weren't provident? we indeed
looked out for others as though they mattered, and they,
catching the spirit, came home with us, spent the night
in an alcove from which their breathing could be heard clearly.
but it's not over yet. terrible incidents happen
daily. that's how we get around obstacles

thank you for the love on my new set, savory.





the day is grey but the birds are chirping and i am the only one awake
a mild sickness, sipping mint tea instead of coffee
but oh, how i yearn for the beans!

i move to my own place in two days
it all seemed to have happened so fast
and with being laid off there is an onslaught of change all at once
when i was expecting only one small change and
i was unprepared but i think that i am handling it well
and it is all for the best
and exciting, a much needed kick the ass.

worked the door at 31st street pub where i bar tend last weekend to make some extra cash
which included getting to see inter arma for free! man, those guys were sick.
plus, they rep my hometown: richmond, va \m/
also home to the mighty cough. new album, please, cough!?? \m/
saw gifts from enola with if these trees could talk and pray for teeth this weekend as well!
my ears are still ringing.

i also worked the practice st. patty's day bar crawl last weekend (as if this event was necessary ) and will work the actual crawl this weekend which should be entertaining, to say the least
i will just be doing registration so luckily there will be a table in between me and the madness.
if you are in pittsburgh come visit me at the rowdy buck friday night and all day saturday and sunday!
a few other opportunities have arisen in the brief week since i was laid off
my job was sucking the soul out of me anyhow. fuck em'.

i was so used to always having the weekends off that i'm a little stressed about only having a few hours of free time this weekend in order to move...i'm so anxious to get my place together!

the amount of good shows coming through pittsburgh this spring is wonderfully overwhelming
weekend nachos!
floor!
thrones!
caspian!
orange goblin!
exhumed!
soundgarden!
ghost b.c.!

and more! but i'll stop there
i need to invest in a calendar so that i don't miss a wink!


in less than ten days i will be 26. officially in my LATE TWENTIES.
its crazy how you view age when you are younger
and then once you are that age nothing is what how you imagined it would be
or you don't feel how you viewed 26 years olds when you were a kid. you know?
i find it much better, how about you?


i'm hoping to continue being able to do promotional work as its something that i love and provides a more spontaneous lifestyle. its difficult because a lot of clients want a "clean cut" crew and won't accept visible tattoos. difficult for summer promo work when the outfit is usually shorts and a t-shirt. we'll see how it goes though. i have a few other opportunities that i'm weighing out. ideally i would like to do something that allows me time and money to travel. this past year i have hardly gone on any adventures and my heart is sad. new orleans was really my last lone wanderer trip of madness and that was two years ago!

i suppose i'll stop talking your ears off now
it is isn't even afternoon and look how i've rambled
but i wanted to say hi for it may be a week or two until i have the web set up in my new spot.



thanks again for the love on savory
you may view it here if you haven't already!

or else

we will meet again soon my love biscuits
homework, paperwork, and packing await

dixie! \m/
you can take a metalhead outta the south but you can't take the south outta the metalhead
