unin[hi]bited




a close friend of mine sent me a message from chicago one summer day that read: "i want to be the man who is free enough to sing loud gospel music along with his discman with his eyes closed. on the train. alone. "

unhibited.
she [above] did. in the middle of opryland hotel. she found a piano. sat down. and sang. it was beautiful.

"sing with your head up.
with your eyes closed.
not because you love the song.
because you love to sing...."

twice in one da(y)

i found this. honestly, i love this. i remember this night so clearly. written on july 25, 2006 [while in mexico]....

im in the mood to either read and get lost in another world or write and make up my own.



got a massive effin paper cut today...by massive i mean this one might need stitches.



went to the pyramids today and climbed one. by climbing i mean walked up 236 stairs. yes, that is the accurate number. no, my obsessive complulsive mind did not click on and count...alexis did...A: dos cientos treinta y seis..como se dice, oli? O: en ingles? A: si O: 236



keiry (prounounced katey)-the two year old- kicked me today because she was mad that i took the roll of double-sided tape from her (thats how i got the paper cut). then her mom smacked her hand.



i realize that i listen to my ipod when i most need to escape what is happening around me.



i usually hold on to my wadded up napkin for at least 15 min after i eat. it must be some sort of security for me.



i find myself really wanting to buy a book of poetry by nikki giovanni. if you dont know any of her stuff...FIND IT AND READ IT. shes amazing.



you know your in a foreign country when your excited about eating pizza.



i played a game on facebook today. i clicked on a friend from high school, then kept clicking on mutual friends. its cool to see where everyone is.



i cant wait for classes to start back. i really want to dive into a new english class. this semester its shakespeare and then some.



decorating for vbs tomorrow. will get to see some familar people.



my mind is as full as a ticks swollen body right now. its not fun. i think it might pop at any moment...



hence the reason to get lost elsewhere


ciao.
