Trains
I used to ride the train up to three times a week. I can write on trains. I can think on trains. I’ve come up with my best ideas on trains. But trains, those things moving along, passing lives, silently gliding by people during the middle of their day…trains are lonely.
Today I took the train into the city. I had a depressing book. I had my miserable notebook. I had 3 pens and music....

Today I was pushed to the brink
Initial sadness turned to anger and anger turned to spinning thoughts of change and strength and what I could do to stop it all. I spent an hour in the garage talking to a lady at work who saw me. Saw me, as in she noticed me and knew what was wrong and pulled me into her work space just to talk, just to tell me stories about her life, about these towns, about the people that she passed, the...

It's rainy and cool, but summer
I want to stay in and listen to poetry on record until I become so call and so thoughtful that I begin to write, disappearing into the feeling of rain, cool, and summer.

Laying on my couch and I can hear the fireworks going off at Navy Pier.
Shit, guys. I’m in deep with this place again.

Peer Pressure
Maybe we go through all those awkward moments of peer pressure when we’re young to prepare us for the heavy pressures of the world later on. “The World” being, the pressures we put on ourselves due to what we think society is trying to tell us.
You don’t have to get rich or die trying.

Now entering chapter 2
By June first I will be entering chapter 2 of 2012. (There are three chapters in a year.) So far I have accomplished all things set out to accomplish. It’s been a good year. But, now, chapter 2 is a curve ball. The things I thought I’d be doing by then will no longer happen, not one of them, so I’m had to design new things to make this year one that is big, important, and...
The thought of having to go into work today
is preventing me from eating breakfast. I just want to barf.
Anyway…here I go

ZELL: Yesterday's Blues →

Ryan Bingham & The Dead Horses
Well, I shook the hand of a weeping sparrow And heard the most beautiful tune Laid myself down upon a field of flowers And searched through my dreams to find you And lost all of yesterday’s blues And I walked in circles confused and scattered And stumbled around…
Maybe fighting to live a dream
will feel good someday
but right now it doesn’t feel good at all.
I've compiled a To-Do list for the week
And I will accomplish everything on it even if I’m tired, lonely, hungry, or happy. I have to. To-do lists make me fight to get things done.
And everyone who has time to get work done during the day, everyone who gets the things done that are important to them from day to day. Well…..

If you can't beat them, join them
Now I have friends at work. Ha, no, none of those girls from before, but the new people they brought in for the busy season. And now each day when I come home I put another rose on my windowsill.
There is a girl there, she goes to school in the city. She came back to save up enough money to leave for good. I like her.
And then there are the women, those handsome women I’ve been working...
Hey guys,
please prepare yourselves for the utter sadness that is my tumblr queue. It just sort of built itself that way. :D ENJOY!
Road the bike down to Devil's Cave
And neither of us would go inside. Every time (my adrenaline rushing as I ride there) I’m convinced I’ll go in the cave as soon as we arrive. Every time I look at the entrance and say, “nope.”
So we sat on the river beach and tried to catch a baby turtle, instead.
