nada

Went and saw Nada Surf last night at Metro. The show was okay. I really wasn't in a show kind of mindset, so it might have been better if I were a little less stressed out.

Overall, I am doing okay - I just have a lot on my plate, and I'm not sure how to handle it. I'm the typical Pisces who wants to just leave everything where it is, not finishing anything, in order to restore peace in my surroundings. This is not to say that I'm not going to finish anything - cause I am, but I'm just saying...

This whole music thing lately with me. I'm just not confident. I mean, I know I can play, and I know I can write a song, but I just don't think I do either well enough to live up to my own standards. That thinking could either make something really good, or throw me into a depression beyond words knowing that I'm failing at one of the only things I actually enjoy doing.

I think that's why I get poetic lately about time and crashing - Cause in the midst of all this stuff, I'm taking on another project, and that is insane. I must be a glutton for punishment.

a single rose breaks the monotony of
a dirty street
its stem trampled and leaves crushed
but the leaves are a vibrant red
a resiliant red

on one side of the street, a boy who
is lost and out of options
on the other side is a faceless being that
makes us all wish we
we better

the rose is a connection to
something that doesn't exist
and the rose itself is unattainable in
non-stop go go go go go go go of
traffic

what a waste for the man that
sells flowers.

Anyway, I'm gonna get outta here and try my hand at some design work. Then I'll do some typography homework and then have to run to the financial aid office at Columbia.

Later
