23.
Buffalo, NY.
My blog has ADD.
I lost the genetic lottery.
I'd like to be funny professionally.
I say things that nobody wants to read.
Look at my shitty fucking face.
Look at my shitty fucking drawings.
People say things to me sometimes.
Here's this thing.
Shit that I listen to.
Shit that I watch.
I found god at the stroke of midnight with your tongue in my mouth, on New Year’s Eve
I found god when I was twelve with my cousin, trying to get a buzz from shots of listerine
I found god in a Dr.Suess book
I found god in a dirty magazine
I found god in the words of Steve Miller: I really like your peaches, wanna shake your tree
I found god on a Wednesday afternoon, drinking boxed wine and wishing you would call me
I found god in the middle of the woods, spitting at the stars and making love to a tree
I found god when I quit smoking cigarettes
I found god in a bag of weed
I found god in the back of my head: Too scared to even talk to you, but dreaming you would marry me
I could find god if I could taste you
I could find god if you’d lay down next to me
I could find god in your secret places
I could find god if you’d only talk to me
I found god in the back of my head: too scared to even talk to you, but dreaming you would marry me
I found god in the words of Steve Miller: I really like your peaches, wanna shake your tree

B) I’d just try to enjoy myself as much as possible and tie up any loose ends. C) Not afraid. Maybe anxious.
85 - Last song I listened to: Steak Knives by Man Man
Yesterday at work I was coming up with the 5 most important albums of my life.
Not necessarily my favorite or the best, but the ones that had the most impact on me as a person.
in descending chronological order
- Cloud Cult - Feel Good Ghosts (Tea-Partying Through Tornadoes)
- mc chris - mc chris is dead
- Why? - Alopecia
- Coheed and Cambria - In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3
- P.O.D. - Satellite
that last one’s kind of out of left field, but it was my first foray into music that wasn’t “praise and worship, Christian music” and it opened so many doors I can’t ignore it.
And oddly, the first three were all released within 6 months of each other in 2008.
I got two hands on the sunshine
I got one foot in the grave
I got 25 cents in my wallet
And I’m feeling mighty lucky today
I had supper with my shadow, and we had quite the discussion.
If I truly believe that things can change will I wake up to something different?
And we were running.For a reason.For the burning, in our veins.And we were running.For a reason.We just need to get away.

Cloud Cult // Pretty Voice
The scene begins
With the hermit’s melody
Sung by a bashful bird
Humming a violet sky
There are no words
But there is understanding
It’s been so long
Since I’ve heard that pretty voice
Raise up our lights
And enter hero girl
She makes me calm
Yeah she makes me calm
When she hears a song
And she starts singing
It’s been so long
Since I’ve heard that pretty voice
Strike up the band
Here comes the storyline
Of the usual struggle
Between fear and love
This is the lifelong song
We’re all singing
It’s been so long
Since I’ve heard that pretty voice
Now it begins
I miss your hollering
But you’re so sure
Such a bashful bird
Here’s a song
But no one’s singing
It’s been so long
Since I’ve heard your pretty voice
That biodegradable urn is cool and all
But that’s not for me
I just want to be buried naturally on my favorite hilltop with a great view
plant a tree over top of me
And put a bench under the tree
maybe a little sign on the bench that says
“Darien used to sit here and think”
or something like that.
and have the people who loved me gather for the tree planting
play “Love You All” by Cloud Cult really loudly
then go and enjoy your day
Yeah
That’d be cool
My record store is doing a giveaway contest on their Facebook page.
You just have to post your 5 favorite albums from 2000-2011
I threw this down just as the first 5 that came to mind.
They’re all from April 2008-February 2009
I wonder what that means?
they moved into a school bus
just cause it seemed like fun
she’d said i like the way you touch me
it makes me feel like i have no skeleton
and so the story goes…
and I’ve seen photographs and videotapes
of that diesel home, that loving place
and it’s about time two minds combine
in such a fine, fine way
Cloud Cult - May Your Hearts Stay Strong
Cause I could use your lips on me And a little bit of Dramamine
