you, me, & lung cancer

It sits between his lips

Nagging him,

"Don't quit!"

But it really seems to fit

His might and all his wit.

One rests behind his ear,

Another in her hand,

Her fingers slim and grim

Are painted oh so dim

On this night as bright as day

When I met you;

Please do stay.



ps. please check out my best friend's poem here!

my memento bursts in flames

Friday night, I went to a $5 benefit concert with my friends. It was in a quaint little pizza place and there were, at most, 100 people so it basically felt like a party with live music. All the money went to AIDS research so confetti was replaced by free condoms. Plus, it was hosted by Lost Dog, a label/collective/community that showcases underground artists. You can (and should!!) read more about them here. DEBT, Bobby T & The Slackers, ATM and IMD, and So Many Wizards performed and you should definitely check them out!
By the second set the crowd started really getting into it, dancing, mosh pitting and even crowd surfing(!!!). I took part in the mosh pit twice but I kind of got pushed out and walked on by all the taller sweaty people *shiver*. The concert was really loud but sososososo fun and the music was really good! Plus, the lead singer/guitarist in DEBT looked like an older version of Randall from Recess; he was even slightly dressed like him! 
The title is a lyric from BT&TS's song Enough Is Enough.
The pictures were taken by my friend Christina.

crossroads

I watched the cars drive past as quickly as my future; gone in an instant, driving farther and farther away from my reach. It was scary, really, to see my life and future flashing before my eyes, at a fork in the road, letting the three of us be the judge of which one was the best. Who were we to know anyway? We were just three little measly humans, stuck at a crossroads in our lives, trying to predict the future. I guess now, only time will tell.
