The News From Your Bed

She - Saul Williams

i rubbed my thumb

across her palm

a featherbed

where slept a psalm

yeah, though i walk

i used to fly

and now we dance

i watched

my toenails blacken

and walked a deadened trance

until she woke me

with the knife edge

of her glance

i have the scars to prove

the clock strikes

with her hands

it’s only an excerpt, but it’s the only significant part of a poem i’ve ever memorized.  i don’t think i will ever forget it.  read the whole thing if you have the means.

Who cares what Jane said, she always spits the same spit
I’d rather kill the radio and listen to the rain hit
-atmosphere “modern man’s hustle”

Oh atmosphere concert the other night was incredible by the way

new jay-z - rihanna - ye song is unlistenable

sad that it will be drilled into my head for the next 6 months

sad that jay-z isn’t half of what he was when he was on big L tracks

notes from the summer thus far...

• my crush on deceased actress ingrid bergman has gained new life after seeing alfred hitchecock’s “notorious”
• hitchecock’s “notorious” is far better than the christopher wallace biopic of the same title (no disrespect to biggie)
• my habit of judging people based on their taste in music and footwear persists, it is yet to fail me and i am not ashamed of it
• this town is through with me, i am bored of it and it is bored of me
• exposing the whitest chest and back south of the canadian border without sunscreen is foolish, and when one side is burnt there is nothing to do but allow the other to burn as well (a sad reality, but a necessity none the less)
• christian bale is the worst actor on the planet, and appearing opposite johnny depp on the big screen further revealed that
• when watching a tv series on dvd it is dangerous not to skip the opening credits each time, it can drive one crazy
• the library is the most rational, useful, and underrated system in society
• faulkner is worth the struggle
• “memento” was not
• rolling rock has asserted itself as my second favorite beer
• sporcle.com is addicting, and will be my downfall come fall semester
• when after playing one song a band can only be deemed as ‘bar mitzvah rock’ it is time to leave, unless of course it is a bar mitzvah
• i will be seeing brand new on saturday, probably my most highly anticipated concert going experience to date
• wanna hang out?
