five gallon buckets.
up and down the stairs all day.
filled with tile and rock.

i live in opposite land.....

left eye dominant.
even though i'm right handed.
take that, universe.

all the king's horses and all the king's men.....

i am fading fast.
happy and content with life.
thank you for my day.

life is memory.
a spectrum of emotion.
look it in the eye.

is it just me or are the years speeding up as i slow down?

how this time slips by.
that big hourglass in the sky.
why oh why oh why.

one thing worth waiting for.

can't wait to see her.
i've been waiting all day long.
the clock is dripping.

fettuccini a la maggie.

cat hair makes me sneeze.
pickle, monkeyball, cupcake.
shadows at twilight.

it's where the heart is.......

thank goodness i'm home.
shower, clean clothes, and a beer.
and those i hold dear.

anything but monday.

peel back my eyelids.
a lonely place of dying.
this resplendent scene.

binary dripping down in front of me.......

i knew it would be.
this is a what the hell day.
so "what the hell, day!?!"

save me, breakfast tea.

the numbers are thus.
for to discombobulate.
life is a cookie.

in the blink of an eye.

where did the day go?
was it me that did all that?
my goodness, how odd.

older worlds.

i watched her to sleep.
mouthing foggy dream drenched words.
one breath at a time.

i can't stop listening to it.......

burstin' thru the fuzz.
boss fight could knock your socks off.
it's not fucking fair.

reorganizing most of the upstairs.

no job is too tough.
as long as the price is right.
and the herb's in bloom.

they got character, see.

nico's awesome smile.
wynter in the clothes basket.
phoenix in the yard.

what is this, middle school?

life just isn't fair.
some jerk always fucks it up.
what's with these morons?

say it don't spray it.

breakfast in my face.
bananas, peaches, berries.
wynter is spitting.

first and lasts

spin the bad to good.
these moments won't last that long.
enjoy us while it.........

is it just me or.................

i'm too young for this.
i still belong in the school.
carpet squares and shit.

belated father's day gift.

we went to the berk.
to volunteer us some work.
all chuckles and smirk.

making librarians giggle and shit......

here's to my lady.
scotch, a hot dance, and my heart.
life of the party.

when am i supposed to clean the bathroom?

the ice cream social.
wedding or not you're ready.
shindigs up the arse.

dad's tree grows in brooklyn.

francie's coffee rule.
you can throw out your coffee.
no one will get mad.

inquisitive consult.

send me a message.
write it from the inside out.
now how does that sound?

i could go on and on......

our kids are the best.
little bits of our heartstrings.
hanging by a thread.

they even had an ice cream cake!

laura is the rad.
victor sports that shirt so hard.
to the birthday kids!

remembery.

sometimes i forget.
there's just so much going on.
you understand, right?

don't worry, it's just an analogy.....

when did i wake up?
i am sitting at my desk.
i do not smell good.

in succession.

nico starts the trend.
phoenix coming round the bend.
wynter snags the end.

for mike.

age is a mirror.
my own reflection spun glass.
spherical sandstorm.

dust.

i am spiderman.
i am the grass on the ground.
i am not all here.

all time greatest winner for life in the whole universe!

i'm the best, you know.
i'm the greatest of all time.
no one can beat me.

or was it how not to?

hell of a good time.
what a way to remember.
now how to forget.

it's gonna be another scorcher out there.....

slightly hungover.
my cup of tea is too hot.
so's the outside world.

c'mon! it's friday!?!

what a stupid day.
tomorrow will be better.

inside yolk.

that would be funny.
if beerballs was my password.
giggles on the couch.

dry hump day.

the smell of mildew.
raw throat from lack of fluids.
caramel corn bomb.

sounds good.

i can't find my notes.
my brain is a scrambled egg.
how did this happen?

i'd eat another one right now.....

sesame seeds rule.
with barbeque sauce and cheese.
turkey bagel lunch.

nah wha ahm sayin?

men can be such jerks.
with all their ignorant ways.
why are they like that?

scalpel!

i'm a great second.
you need a hand with something?
i can do it all.

some days irritate the piss out of me.....

it can get to you.
but a kick ass lady helps.
she's gotta drive, though.

it's a four letter word.....

work can keep you young.
work can make you old as hell.
work is never done.

i know this one guy.....

happy birthday, james.
may your world be filled with love.
keep it up, brother.

they say the clothes make the man.....

thinking back on things.
this is how i'll see myself.
young, hung, and in love.

i almost drowned in the lake......

went out to the woods.
a good time was had by all.
wish i was still there.

the way i remember it......

saturday morning.
always and forevermore.
'till i'm old and gray.

getting organized.
curse you! i WILL NOT be stopped!
one step at a time.
