My Dearest Allie. I couldn’t sleep last night because I know that it’s over between us. I’m not bitter any more, because I know that what we had was real. And if in some distant place in the future we see each other in our new lives, I’ll smile at you with joy and remember how we spent the summer beneath the trees, learning from each other and growing in love. The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds, and that’s what you’ve given me. That’s what I hope to give to you forever. I love you. I’ll be seeing you. Noah.

The good fight

2011-03-02T00:09:00.000+11:00

An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life. "A fight is going on inside me," he said to the boy.

"It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil - he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego." He continued, "The other is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you - and inside every other person, too."

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win?"

The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

2011-02-09T22:03:00.001+11:00

A heart that's full up like a landfill,
a job that slowly kills you,
bruises that won't heal.
You look so tired-unhappy,
bring down the government,
they don't, they don't speak for us.
I'll take a quiet life,
a handshake of carbon monoxide,

with no alarms and no surprises,
Silence, silence.

This is my final fit,
my final bellyache

with no alarms and no surprises,

Such a pretty house
and such a pretty garden.

No alarms and no surprises, please.

Actually had the moment of moments on Saturday.
Saw DARWIN DEEZ. As expected it was a festival stopper. I would have been content leaving the festival then and there. But Uffie was next.

As I'm making my way through the hipsters crowding at Uffie's stage I wound up standing next to a tall, lanky gentleman.
I gaze up.
It's DARWIN DEEZ!

So me and Darwin danced (we mostly partook in synchronized bobbing) for Uffie's set.
And as he made his way out through the intense crowd, he turned back and made a love heart sign with his hands and pointed to me.

I wish I had words to explain how my heart sang at the sight of this.
I do not. So here are some photos.

You know, I didn't just heed what I was taught, men and women should be together, it's the natural way, that kind of thing. I'm not with you because of what family, society, life tried to instill in me from day one. The way the world is, how seldom it is that you meet that one person who just *gets* you - it's so rare. My parents didn't really have it. There were no examples set for me in the world of male-female relationships. And to cut oneself off from finding that person, to immediately halve your options by eliminating the possibility of finding that one person within your own gender, that just seemed stupid to me. So I didn't. But then you came along. You, the one least likely. I mean, you were a guy.

And while I was falling for you I put a ceiling on that, because you *were* a guy. Until I remembered why I opened the door to women in the first place: to not limit the likelihood of finding that one person who'd complement me so completely. So here we are. I was thorough when I looked for you. And I feel justified lying in your arms, 'cause I got here on my own terms, and I have no question there was some place I didn't look. And for me that makes all the difference.

Hip hip hooray

"There was a modern chandelier above us, light spilling across our faces and dancing off the mirrors in the restaurant.
It wasn't fancy or romantic. It was us. It was breakfast.
He slurped a cappuccino with two sugars enthusiastically. Realized it was too hot.
I never got sick of that look. Legitimate surprise.
Surprise that I had new underwear on.
Surprise that I woke up in time for boxing.
Surprise that I got him his favourite candy.
Surprise that I visited him at work.
Surprise that I cooked him dinner that was edible.
Surprise that I got out of bed before mid-day.
Surprise to see the scars.

His tongue coiled, his eyes glued shut.
'Thuckkkkkkkk' he mouthed at me, which I assumed was a fumbled cry of pain from a ruined tongue.
I tried to stifle a smile from behind my vanilla milkshake. It didn't matter how old I was, my tastes were never going to mature beyond blended milk and ice-cream.

We would spend the day watching movies, probably ones that he liked.
I didn't mind.
I loved him."

This is just what I found inside my soul.

Life is always so much better in musicals.

We got mangoes and bananas
You can pick right off the tree,
We got volleyball and ping-pong
And a lot of dandy games!
What ain't we got?
We ain't got dames!

We get packages from home,
We get movies, we get shows,
We get speeches from our skipper
And advice from Tokyo Rose,
We get letters doused with perfume
We get dizzy from the smell!
What don't we get?
You know darn well!

We have nothin' to put on a clean white suit for
What we need is what there ain't no substitute for...

There is nothin' like a dame,
Nothin' in the world,
There is nothin' you can name
That is anythin' like a dame!

My bones ache.
And when they don't, my heart bleeds.

My soul weeps and my conscience splutters.

My confidence stutters.

My skin prickles and my hair stiffens.

And I am alone.
Nothing to break the free fall.
No bandage.
No deep heat.
No pep talks.

I only have myself to save me now.

God is too busy saving the Queen.

Walk Away Renee

2010-08-05T01:21:00.001+10:00

She said it was just a figment of speech
And I said "You mean figureAnd she said "No, figment
Because she could never imagine it happening. But it did

When we first met I played the Shy boy
When she spoke to me for the first time my nose began to bleed
She guessed the rest

The next day we went on a bus ride to the ferry
And when nobody came to collect our fares
Well I knew then this was something special
I couldn't stop thinking about her
And every time I switched on the radio
There was somebody else singing a song about the two of us

It was just like being on a fast ride at the fun fair
The sort you want to get off because its scary
And then as soon as you're off you want get straight back on again
But all love is strange
And you have to learn to take the crunchy with the smooth I suppose

She began going out with Mr. Potato Head
It was when I saw her in he car park
With his coat around her shoulders that I realized
I went home and thought about the two of them together
Until the bathwater went cold around me
I thought about her eyes and the curve of her breasts
And about the point where their bodies met

I confronted her about it
I said, "I'm the most illegible bachelor in town!"
and she said "Yeah that's why I could never understand any of those silly letters you sent me"
And then one day it happened
She cut her hair and I stopped loving her

i’m in outer space on my side of the bed 
on a floating mattress my eyes stare ahead 
you don’t sleep here anymore  
hovering alarm clock is my satellite
under little specks of starlight, on a flight
you don’t sleep here anymore  

i don’t know where i am 
i am so lost
i’m just drifting around
since you’ve been gone
i’m just wasting time away
i’m just wasting time in space  

see a little asteroid pass by underneath
there’s an empty space on your side and i can’t sleep  

i pull my covers over my head
hope you know i wish i were dead
i can’t seem to get out of bed
going nowhere; everything is wrong

i don’t know where i am 
i am so lost
i’m just drifting around
since you’ve been gone
i’m just wasting time away
i’m just wasting time in space

you're madness is invigorating, and your heart pumps blood to my veins. Yet you and me, we're like chalk and rain.

Now I know we said things
Did things
That we didn't mean
And we fall back
Into the same patterns
Same routine
But your temper's just as bad
As mine is
You're the same as me
But when it comes to love
You're just as blinded
Baby please come back
It wasn't you
Baby it was me
Maybe our relationship
Isn't as crazy as it seems
Maybe that's what happens
When a tornado meets a volcano

I could not have said it better myself.

Do you ever?

2010-07-16T13:12:00.009+10:00

Do you ever find it again?
Or is that the untold secret of the universe?
People get full time jobs, go traveling, have children, write books, cook food, build houses and machines and empires...
To fill the void that a failed relationship left?

I bet the emperor of the Roman Empire had a broken heart.

why did you hate MLC so much? you were (are) so well liked there and seemed really comfortable.

2010-07-10T18:53:00.001+10:00

I never felt MLC was the right fit for me. I really struggled to crack into a friendship group in years 7 and 8 and as a result spent most of those years alone. That wouldn't bother me now, but as a twelve year old I was desperate to belong to a clique.
In year 9 I stayed at the school because of Marshmead (i'm assuming you know what that is because you seem to know about MLC). And by the time year 9 was over I had friends, a best-friend in particular, that kept me at the school through year 10.
When I realised that I wasn't going to achieve the level of success that I wanted to at MLC I decided to move to a much smaller school that nurtured talent in a way that MLC was unable to.
And that is why I left :)

Or keep a straight face.

And i've always lived like this,

keeping a comfortable distance,

and up until now,

I had sworn to myself, that i'm content with lonliness,

Because none of it was ever worth the risk.

You are the only exception.

I've got a tight grip on reality,

But I can't let go of what's in front of me here.
