da ol' ab-bay

right now i am surrounded by doggies.
and i took the lady's advice and have began Downton Abbey.

i just had yet to be in the mood for such an undertaking.


the giants game is soon.
i am incredibly excited.

dland

so i have decided...to memorize all the countries. of the world. also the lady is gone. so sad. but today i worked the produce department at work. it was like being in a vietnamese prison camp. whenever you go to grab any vegetables the sides break and go under your fingernails. it was the worst. so while the girlfriend is at disneyland. i will be here. reading and watching movies. and loving this.

flowers from showers

it is national poetry month.

ginsberg.
eliot.
goethe.

but right now, most of all, hughes.

"I've known rivers:
I've known rivers ancient as the world and older than the
flow of human blood in human veins.

My soul has grown deep like the rivers.

I bathed in the Euphrates when dawns were young.
I built my hut near the Congo and it lulled me to sleep.
I looked upon the Nile and raised the pyramids above it.
I heard the singing of the Mississippi when Abe Lincoln
went down to New Orleans, and I've seen its muddy
bosom turn all golden in the sunset.

I've known rivers:
Ancient, dusky rivers.

My soul has grown deep like the rivers."

elsewhere and other places

so lately i have really been wanting to travel.
it is hard to discern how and when to go, though.

especially with possible future plans.


but for now, here is my list of places to go:
-NYC
-Toronto
-Tahiti
-India
-France
-Roma
-Spain
-Disneyland






but frankly, anywhere with the love of my life will suffice.

futures and future and such

two things i want. one of them is more immediate. much more so.

1. live in france for at least one year.
2. be a part of and advocate for Advent Conspiricy.


savannah and i have discussed how we will endeavor to do it this year.
hopefully get our families involved.

and others from our church.



it is rather exciting.
