(1993 - present) I'm a nosy, full-time dreamer and chocolate chip cookie enthusiast who's unfortunately almost always at a loss for words.
I am in love with Michael Douglas and I’m not going to complain About the wrinkles, the wife, the age, Watch Wall Street and tell me how it makes you feel to watch such brilliant divine acting portrayed with the most cavalier feel to hear that bravado and smooth hypnotizing talk, to watch that strong confidence epitomized in that hand-in-pocket walk to experience that indescribable flair a man must be born with I know I’m just a kid But understand if you can, That Michael Douglas is the man.

Michael Douglas
There is always a somethingness and never a nothingness Never believe in the nothingness because nothingness is what kills the dreams and what desecrates and obliterates the child. There is always a somethingness in what you perceive as nothingness. Never forget that.

Somethingness
I hear the silent sun beaming down, peeking through the window I hear the music of a girl I've never met and I hear my insistent cough rise from the depths of my chest and I hear it storm cataclysmically up my throat spewing disgusting coughing germs on my forearm my fist I still hear the girl I've never met playing the music I have never heard before and I like it and she continues playing I see the sun outside taunting me with its dominion And I remain seated on a chair thousands have sat on before As I cough And cough once more I just want to go home.

What do I want? Have you ever asked me that? It would be nice if you did. Because I want you. I want you to love me like the world ends tonight I want you to hold me with the care you would give to a newborn I want you to look at me like you’ve never seen anything so beautiful I want you to guard me with your life and Cherish me like fine gold I want to be loved by you I want to love you too I want our hand-holding to be something others will be jealous of because it will be so great and our immense compassion would radiate from our inseparable hands our inseparable lips. I want all this. I just wish you would have asked.

Inseparable hands, Inseparable Lips
We turn to these things because that's what we think we have The phone calls at 7 began to stop Don't throw away our love they said Don't throw it away Today It's different You find yourself here and not there Do you wanna be there? He's scared Make a choice Are they changed? Nope Still the same Just distant It seems that over there is too far a walk Why does my mind always lead back to you in my thoughts? Empty life, is this what this is You say you're over it It's in the past Whatever, whatever And you're there Having a blast Here in my solitude I hear the drums The death march or peace time song I'm over it It's done Right back in the past Tomorrow a new day but same old silly schedule I copied her poem in a hurry, disheveled But still it's my life, one like no other And these moments they spill onto the canvas each drop after another The paint can never runs dry the pigments dark now But wait till tomorrow Maybe these will be brighter. Brighter than today's I hope But as we speak hoping's not enough Waiting can't wait jump out get in stop dealing with this sin you say it's over Oh, it's done.

Brothel Life Story
Sometimes I have something to say And so I want to come to you And I lay it all out I have important things on my mind And I want to tell you I want to tell you how my heart stopped It skipped a beat And I can’t help it Every single time we meet and boy, when I see you when I see that hair flip man, that makes my heart flip I get this feeling inside But I can’t fathom the words I want to tell you that those sneaky side glances sends shivers up and everywhere but I can’t fathom the words I want to tell you that you’re the last thing I’m thinking about And the first thing on my mind in the morning in class all the time I want to tell you this but I can’t fathom the words Oh, I want to tell you that I’ve already named our phantom children That one’s Johnny, the second one is Drake. Man, I want to tell you we’ve exchanged vows a million times in my mind… I know that’s sad, but man, I want to tell you so bad. But I can’t fathom the words. So as I just peeked above my test in class to look over my shoulder at you across the room forget this test I’m writing these words down for you.

Fathom.
There is a blankness that rests in your eyes There are times when the eyes can’t see, when the mouth can’t speak. There is a blankness in your eyes, and a solitude within There are times when you look up And all there is are Van Gogh swirls And the illumination of skies far away. She looks at you and you don’t know what to say You look around and there is black paint splattered on the walls of your heart You look around and the ground your bare feet walk on is as rough as your calloused hands You look on And in the distance lies the future you’ve always dreamed of reaching laced with the unreachable, unnatainable qualities of the niavate you lost years ago. You look on into the reflection in the water at the lies that have become your reality and you saw everything as truth And she looks at you still, and yet your mouth has shut, stapled down by the incorrigible boy of you that knows you have sinned. And yes, you have sinned. You have sinned. And she wants to help. She looks at you with the saddest eyes you’ve ever seen And for once You finally look at her and say “I have sinned” “I have sinned”.

Van Gogh Swirls
What happened to dancing? And I mean grooving Moving to the beat of the music not that back to front, raunchy, distasteful, vertical *** on the dancefloor foolishness I don't want any of that unclassy bending over ***** pressed up against a stranger, up in my face, I mean up in my behind business type of dancing. None of that too-close for comfort, get-a-room type of grind I want some of that smooth jazzy, hold my hand and spin me around moving, and I want some of that 80's finger-snappin', and some of those Breakfast Club hip-shaking, arm-gyrating What I don't get is why The moves from ***** Dancing seem cleaner than today's so-called dancing. I want to be able to go to a club And have enough space for myself and you to be dancing like we're dancing at home, with the privacy of our rooms I want to be able to dance, and let us return and have a much-needed cultural dance revolution where it doesn't have to be something your mama won't be ashamed of. I want some of that jiving, and more of that 70's finger-pointing, and fast-feet moving Man, I just want all of us to dance without it suggesting anything more than smooching.
