| | 'the astronaut' - something corporate | ] |
i've been sleeping with ghosts
i've been watching stars crawling out of the sky
and i've been hoping i'm close
to the space man movies i call my life
and i've been climbing ladders through time
i've got tunnel vision but i'm doing fine
and i've been watching stars coming off of the wall
and maybe if i'm lucky i can catch them before you fall
and you are not alone
calling out to the astronaut
i need some of what you've got
i need to be high
crawling out of the world she brought
calling out to the astronaut
i need to be high
and i've been holding this microphone
and i've been shouting out but i think we're alone
and i've got platinum vision and a tin foil touch
i've got you to propel me but i still need so much
not to be alone
calling out to the astronaut
i need some of what you've got
i need to be high
crawling out of the world she brought
calling out to the astronaut
i need to be high
and you are not alone
you are not alone
you are not alone
calling out to the astronaut
i need some of what you've got
i need to be high
crawling out of the world she brought
calling out to the astronaut
i need to be high
calling out to the astronaut
i need some of what you've got
i need to be high
disappear in the world she brought
calling out to the astronaut
i need to be high
and i've got you to propel me
but i still need so much |

so as you may all remember, my goal was to run a marathon before i graduated FIU. check.
since then i ran marine corps (october 2005) and brought my time from 5:12 to 4:17.
im going to run the frederick, md marathon on april 30, with a goal of finishing in 3:45.
im going to train dilligently in harsh summer conditions, and then run chicago on october 22 (happy b-day mom!), with the hope of getting 3:10 to qualify for boston.
new goal: i will run boston in april, before i graduate from UMD
this is really ambitious, but i think im up for the physical and mental challenges! wish me luck! |

as much as i want to say things... i just cant. the words no longer come to me. maybe i am getting to old. maybe i have learned to confront the issues and not hide behind my online journal. could it be time to bury live journal forever? |

what a year ... what a fucking year. yikes. so long 2005.
i spent new years in new york and had an amazing time.
i always feel like i have so much to write here that my fingers cant keep up with my thoughts. so then i just give up and dont type anything. or i tell myself i'll do it later, but at that point i've lost the motivation. ::sigh:: oh well, hopefully i can finally get some stuff out on here. but for now its time for dinner.
happy new year. may your friends be wise, and your choices be wiser. |

from a friend i miss (but wouldnt know because im a bad friend)
A lot has been said about how to prevent rape. Women should learn self-defense. Women should lock themselves in their houses after dark. Women shouldn't have long hair and women shouldn't wear short skirts. Women shouldn't leave drinks unattended. Fuck, they shouldn't dare to get drunk at all. And if they do, they have no case if they are raped while incapable of making a reasoned decision.
instead of that bullshit, how about:
-if a woman is drunk, don't rape her.
-if a woman is walking alone at night, don't rape her.
-if a women is drugged and unconscious, don't rape her.
-if a woman is wearing a short skirt, don't rape her.
-if a woman is jogging in a park at 5 am, don't rape her.
-if a woman looks like your ex-girlfriend you're still hung up on, don't rape her.
-if a woman is asleep in her bed, don't rape her.
-if a woman is asleep in your bed, don't rape her.
-if a woman is doing her laundry, don't rape her.
-if a woman is in a coma, don't rape her.
-if a woman changes her mind in the middle of or about a particular activity, don't rape her.
-if a woman has repeatedly refused a certain activity, don't rape her.
-if a woman is not yet a woman, but a child, don't rape her.
-if your girlfriend or wife is not in the mood, don't rape her.
-if your step-daughter is watching tv, don't rape her.
-if you break into a house and find a woman there, don't rape her.
-if your friend thinks it's okay to rape someone, tell him it's not, and that he's not your friend.
-if your "friend" tells you he raped someone, report him to the police.
-if your frat-brother or another guy at the party tells you there's an unconscious woman upstairs and it's your turn, don't rape her, call the police and tell the guy he's a rapist.
-tell your sons, god-sons, nephews, grandsons, sons of friends it's not okay to rape someone.
-don't tell your women friends how to be safe and avoid rape.
-don't imply that she could have avoided it if she'd only done/not done x.
-don't imply that it's in any way her fault.
-don't let silence imply agreement when someone tells you he "got some" with the drunk girl.
-don't perpetuate a culture that tells you that you have no control over or responsibility for your actions. You can, too, help yourself. |

she fixes her lips, they
always looks perfect
never a smudged line
never too much
i try on my blue shirt
she told me she liked it ... once
she wonders what i'll wear
she knows just what she'll wear
she always wears blue
so sneakers or flip flops
im starting to panic ... wait, wait
remember she asked you
remember to breathe
and everything will be okay
okay
alright |
