good riddance, 2011.

"Roll with the punches. Keep your chin up. Don’t take any wooden nickles. Vote Democrat in every election. Ride your bike in the park. Dream about my perfect, golden body. Take your vitamins. Drink eight glasses of water a day. Pull for the Sooners. Watch a lot of movies. Don’t work too hard at your job. Take a trip to Paris with me. Brush your teeth after every meal. Don’t cross the street on a red light. Defend the little guy. Stick up for yourself. Remember how beautiful you are. Remember how much I love you. Drink one scotch on the rocks every day. Breathe deeply. Keep your eyes open. Stay away from fatty foods. Sleep the sleep of the just. Remember how much I love you."

this song is for you.

I’m afraid, I’m on my way
And in your place, a brief rainbow
Maybe you’ll stay, and finish our home
I should never, ever, ever let you go

Smooth sailing
Who’s running?

Yeah and it seems like everything about peace
even every field that we free
even all the days and the haze and the heat
nothing causes more alarm than your absence from my sheets

Can we agree? can we agree now?
Change this bed into (something?)
God, I miss ya.
