I love finding old things.

a cold, grey breeze must sing outside on this late august day.

No promise of a walk, or being able to play

Amidst the dull, warm sunshine that so avidly does hide

With the bright blue behind the greys and whites.

Sing, strong breeze, that blows through those trees,

And kerfuffles their leaves so.

Tell me what you see, within this blackened city,

That makes your proud heart low.

What do you desire, bittersweet and so dire;

Such a thing that could turn your mind askew?

So incomplete, you do not know what to do?

That even if you told me, i could do not a thing to help you?

What is it that you see, beyond, in that country

That dominates this withered estate

Of thick skies and dull blue eyes

Who no longer feel their own pain?

I must try to take myself away by will of imagination

To a place of much better and less under the weather

Faces of adoration.

For what is more true than skies that are blue

Who whistle softly atop the greens?

And what is more free than freedom herself

Who frollicks on land and in sea?

So be ordained no more to think to contain

Yourself within the walls of loss.

For there is nothing more pained than a heart in a strain

And then suddenly released to shock.

These days pass by with a wimper and a cry

Just like last year around this time.

So automatic, so contorted, just like static;

Nights turn into day, and the days flow on, just like a play

That has been rehearsed a time too many; nervous and frantic.

For i know what comes next, and then after that, at best;

But my future is still complete haze.

For nothing is as plain, as simplicit and ordained

Than these grey and breezy late August days.

August 29 : I Think I'm at Peace

I don't know why but it feels like everything is finally just happening for the first time in ages. Orientation was incredible, school is happening; this is the chapter. The chapter. This is what it feels like to be moving and not regressing. Even everyone else is going forward. There is so much I still need to do and find out but this time I actually want to.

I also finally found and put on my laptop all of the files and photos from yeeears ago, and I'm freaking ecstatic.

"Lucifer" is one of the photos that I took to my interview at the university.


Life is for the taking.

August 18 : Smoky

i'm not one to pride myself in my own work but... I love it! except that log at the top is more of a focal point than i'd like it to be. im spending all night doing these tutorial things. Bon soir...

August... 17 : Camping shot edit

This is my final edit of the photo. I've come back a few times to edit this post because it didn't look quite right... Below is the original, before I tweaked it. I think it gave it a more mysterious or serious atmosphere; the original looks bland and disproportionate. But that's just me.


I need to start writing again!

Aug 15 : Homebound

It's kindof good to be home, except not really. It's always the same here.

Bon Voyage!
