Welcome

My resolution for 2010 was to write a poem every day. By January 2nd I had already failed. Instead of scrapping the idea as a whole, I decided that to keep myself accountable I would post my writings to this blog every day. This place has changed a lot since then and so have I. While I'm not trying to write a poem every day anymore, I still love using this as a platform to share my thoughts, feelings and experiences with other people. So welcome to the public recording of my life. Feel free to hang out for a while. Read some old stuff, read some new stuff, or just listen to some music. Hopefully you enjoy yourself and maybe something here will speak to you in a way I couldn't have ever imagined.

A Hipster Parable


Today is like a guy who was trying to get some work done. He sat precariously amidst the seasonal decor, gossiping housewives, over-enamored young couple, church small group members, and business men trying to keep it hip. The scent of the place had been lost on him. It's deep warm aroma used to be a welcome greeting, but, like the meaningful hug, the solid-but-not-aggressive handshake and the ironic t-shirt, it had been dulled from overuse. Abused as a drug. He wondered if it was there or not anymore.

Between pounding, grinding, and shouting, seasonal tunes play that, to him, are hidden behind The Great Wall of Headphones. Impenetrable as it seems, even its full-force sonic barrier is not going to bring the peace he came here looking for.
