I wonder if you would miss me /
the space left behind /
by the smells of hair on pillow /
and mouth on mouth. /
I can't find out about the missing /
if it isn't going on /
and there I am /
and there you are /
so I have to imagine my not-thereness of it all. /
At work a friend tells me of /
this new movie, "I am not here", /
and the title reflects exactly what /
I've been rolling around my mouth /
precisely when There I am and There I am /
and There I am and we bicker again /
argue again, agree t… Continue

This seems appropriate to share during the Christmas season. Pass it on!!
children’s quotes on Love:
"When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love." Rebecca- age 8-------------------------------------------------------------------------- "When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth.… Continue

And perhaps this is true, but I have nothing new to say and try to refrain from giving wordy evidence of this fact. So, just for today, let me share this poem I found on the net, but I have no idea who wrote it, and now I can't find the page I originally copied it from.
Oh, by the way, the sibling tattoo is off for now. Sister is pregnant.
POEM:
I work in a box factory & this is my

humdrum workaday factory song:

my office is on the sixteenth floor

and the fifteenth floor is a string facto… Continue

Someone at work keeps listening to Simon and Garfunkel. It’s been two days of this, three really, because it started Friday. I’m not unfriendly to S&G, but c’mon, enough with the campy sadness music. The only thing worse would be if she decided that Pink Floyd was more appropriate. Once more, not unfriendly to PF, but one can only listen to The Wall about 532 times before it starts getting… irksome.
Anyway, the point of this post is to mention that my sister and I both have birthdays this mo… Continue

No costumes for me this year; will be continuing the permanent costume however, or shall i see it as the real me finally coming out? In any case, will post pictures tomorrow, ASAP, and in the meantime let me share on of my favorite dark poems (another cool dark read is "The Earl King"). Hope you like---
A TALE OF THE THIRTEENTH FLOOR:
The hands of the clock were reaching high
In an old midtown hotel;
I name no name, but its sordid fame
Is table talk in hell.
I name no name, but hell's own flame… Continue

I went to continue my japanese cherry blossom sleeve yesterday, at five o'clock in the afternoon, and my artist Papito was busy tattooing someone else, a really BIG tattoo on a really BIG someone else, and still had some two hours to go. Why do they do this? They give me a time and then they never, never, never, abide by the time they set. Is this a Puerto Rican phenomenon, a latin-leisure sort of thing? Or is this a tattoo artist arrogance, let'em wait sort of thing? In any case, I took it all… Continue

tomorrow i get to sit on the chair, and we talk until midnight of our affairs and others', and perhaps we get some ice-cream during a needle break and he flirts with the chick behind the counter (it is his girlfriend after all, or was the last time i saw him, for the first session of my tattoo), and around midnight that's enough for both of us, and also, the ice-cream girl gets off work. Ha ha. And this is how my tattoo takes shape. I have no idea how many more sessions to finish the sleeve, i t… Continue

I can't wait for Wednesday afternoon, it'll be my second session doing my japanese sleeve (right arm) and now I have this idea of doing some negative space stars (not five-pointed stars, more like Northern Star-type of star) on the wind bars, at the top, near the underarm, and of course I want to already sit down with my artist (Papito, from Harisumi Tattoo Studio) and I want to get his feedback, and I want to get it going, and I want to stand in front of a mirror already going "Oh it's so fucki… Continue

than to keep browsing around inked Inc. I don't feel like writing a radio commercial today (it's due friday anyway), and I don't feel like checking my yahoo, and I don't feel like working at all, and I don't feel like calling anyone on the phone, and perez hilton with his britney fixation is grating my nerves, and I can't eat because I want to lose weight, and I dont feel like visiting any modblogs anymore (such drama! why am I even paying any attention? and here I thought I hated soap operas!)… Continue
