at dinner people were talking about how much they cried during their weddings and my one cousin said she was SO determined not to cry, made it through the entire ceremony, but then during the reception her husband leaned over and asked 'hey, do you want me to get together a plate of roast beef and hide it in our room so we can have Night Meats?' and she went 'night meats?' and started sobbing because that was so romantic to her

pulling this outta my inbox now that i’m past the part of getting covid that made me feel like i was going to cough myself into pieces. looking forward to these beautiful, joyful things once i can crawl out of bed and can taste something other than burnt dirt in my mouth:
- riding my bike to the park by my house and laying on the bench under the dappled light coming through the trees
- taking three hours to make and eat breakfast between frying up too much spam and eggs and rice and half-reading something on my phone
- driving to any number of dinky little seaside towns and spending too much money trying every sandwich shop in the area
- the feeling of that involuntary full-body stretch you do after waking up
- figuring out the puzzle of some weird little click or creak on a bike and the triumph of putting it all back together
“About my voice. First of all, I don’t have much of one. I have a bar-man’s power, range and durability, but I don’t have a lot of tonal beauty or finesse. Five sets a night, no problem. Three and a half full-on hours, can do. Need for warm up, light to none. My voice gets the job done. But it’s a journey-man’s instrument and on it’s own, it’s never going to take you to higher ground. I need all my skills to get by and to communicate deeply. For me to sell you what you’re buying, I’ve got to write, arrange, play, perform, and yes, sing to the best of my ability. I am a sum of all my parts. I learned early this is not something to fret about. Every performer has his or her weak link. Part of getting there is knowing what to do with what you have and knowing what to do with what you DON’T have. As Clint Eastwood said, “A man’s got to know his limitations.” The forget about them and walk on…. […] If you were lucky enough to be born with an instrument and the instictive knowledge to know what to do with it, you are blessed indeed.”
- Bruce Springsteen, “Born To Run” (2016) (pages 393-395)

this is silly because if you look closely you can see that the tiger is not an actual tiger but a Beanie Baby, a popular childs toy.

Goose Shit by Evil Mary Oliver Who Lives in Your Head
You do have to be good. In fact, you have to be perfect. Having even one perturbation will disqualify you from going to the grocery store. You are obligated to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting, backwards, in underwear made of red-hot puff adders. You can't let that soft, fallible animal of your body love what it loves. Are you kidding? Tell me about despair, yours, and keep telling me, and don't stop, or you'll completely explode and go to jail, and then hell. Meanwhile the world goes on without you. Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of hailstones are beating down on your head, pouring into the buildings and deep gutters, the corpse-laden mountains and the rivers-- did you read that article about the one that turned bright yellow from pollution? Meanwhile the wild geese, hissing and shitting everywhere will not leave your yard. Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, you can always get lonelier! And I can help. I call to you like the wild geese, harsh and intimidating, over and over announcing your place-- oop, sorry, never mind, someone else took it.

I had this habit for a long time: I used to get in my car, and I would drive back to my old neighborhood, the old town I grew up in. And I’d always drive past, like, the old houses that I used to live in. And I’d do it, sometimes late at night, if I was — when I used to be up at nights. [laughs] And I got so I would do it really regularly, for — two, three, four times a week — for years. And I eventually got to wonderin’, what the hell am I doing?
And so I went to see this psychiatrist — this is true! — and I sat down, and I said, you know, “Doc, for years, I’ve been gettin’ in my car, and I drive back to my town, and I pass my houses late at night, and, you know…what am I doing?”
And he said, “I want you to tell me what you think you’re doing.”
[crowd laughs]
So I go, “That’s what I’m paying you for!”
So he says, “Well, what you’re doing is, there’s something bad happened. And you’re going back thinking that you can make it right. Something went wrong, and you keep going back to see if you can fix it, or somehow make it right.”
And I sat there, and I said, “That is what I’m doing.”
And he said, “Well, you can’t.”
not a week goes by that I don’t think about this introduction Bruce Springsteen did to “My Father’s House” at a concert in 1990
My sister said get me a drink at a store and I said what kind. She was like I don't know something esoteric. dead serious. "I like esoteric drinks." What am I meant to do with that
