All My Friends
Though when we’re running out of the drugs,
and the conversation’s winding away;
I wouldn’t trade one stupid decision,
for another five years of life

real bad news
i’ve got love and anger
they come as a pair
you can take your chances
but buyer beware
and I won’t
make you feel bad
when I show you
this big ball of sad isn’t
worth even filling with air
Monogamy is not a cure for jealousy
Even if you choose a lifestyle of sexual exclusivity, your partner will
probably love someone else. They will probably find other people sexually
and/or romantically attractive, they will have fantasies about those people,
and ultimately they will probably want more than you are able to give. If
you decide to structure your relationship such that neither of you will
pursue anything beyond...

Banksy on Advertising
“People are taking the piss out of you everyday. They butt into your life, take a cheap shot at you and then disappear. They leer at you from tall buildings and make you feel small. They make flippant comments from buses that imply you’re not sexy enough and that all the fun is happening somewhere else. They are on TV making your girlfriend feel inadequate. They have access to the most...

I still have my work
Some people just aren’t destined to be happy. Their lives are dedicated to a higher purpose.
I need to learn to accept this.
i’ve decided why i’m unhappy.
i have a clear picture of the person that i want to be, and i am i am unhappy
when i am not progressing toward that picture. i am especially unhappy when
there are reasons where i think i will never be that picture.
i want to have lots of people i can always hang out with. i hate feeling
alone.
i want to be good looking instead of ugly and fat.

“you’re flawed if you aren’t free”
I like your twisted point of view, Mike
I like your questioning eyebrows
You’ve made it pretty clear what you like
It’s only fair to tell you now
that I leave early in the morning
and I won’t be back till next year
I see that kiss-me pucker forming
but maybe you should plug it with a beer, cause
Papa was a rodeo - Mama was a rock’n’roll band

A Thanksgiving Message from Carl Siciliano
The holiday season frightens me. It is the time of year our homeless kids are most likely to attempt suicide. Kids who have been cast out of their homes suffer badly during a season that celebrates and idealizes family togetherness.
Yesterday I met with a group of kids at our drop-in center in Chelsea. They were all out in the cold at night, waiting for beds to open up in our shelters. One boy,...
Me: I can finally download Star Wars, I'm gonna be a Jedi

U: But doesn't that mean you turn to the Dark Side and I die in the end?
Me: Yeah, but until then it's romantic!

I Think I Need a New Heart
‘cause I always say ‘I love you’,
when I mean turn out the light.
And I say ‘let’s run away’,
when I just mean stay the night.
But the words you want to hear,
you will never hear from me:
I’ll never say, “Happy anniversary”
Never stay to say, “Happy anniversary”
Nina Simone
Hearing Nina Simone always reminds me of Before Sunset, and that always reminds me of you. I wonder how you turned out - traveling the world, following your dreams. You always had the ambition and the refusal to compromise that I always wished that I had. Bravery, or a focus of soul, I guess you could call it. It certainly wasn’t free though - I have a feeling that sometimes you would regret...

don’t you know I’m numb, man
no, I don’t feel a thing at all
cause its all smiles & business these days
and I am indifferent to the loss.
i’ve faith that there’s a soul
whose leading me around
i wonder if she knows
which way is down.
i poured my heart out
i poured my heart out
it evaporated

the longest winter
spring comes slowly
to this old friend
still i’m frozen
and still live alone
in time
memories fade
senses numb
one forgets how it feels
to have loved completely
love well young man
while you still can
once your leaves turn
you won’t love again
is it special when you’re lonely
will you spend your whole life
in a studio apartment
with a cat for a wife
the seasons...

I spend the last night in your bedroom, sleeping
Your head was laid upon my shoulder, dreaming
Is it the first time, baby
Is it the last time, well maybe
Is it the first time, baby
Is it the last time, well maybe
I spent the last night in your room
Kickin these wishes to the moon
I spent the last night in your room
Kickin these wishes to the moon
To the moon, baby.

The Ice of Boston
I woke up at 3 AM with the radio on, that Gladys Knight and the Pips song on about how she’d rather live in his world with him than live in her own world alone.
And I lay there, head spinning, trying to fall asleep
And I thought to myself: “Oh, Gladys, girl, I love you but, get a life!”
“Thank you, Wisconsin. You have made people realize this was our last best chance to grab the final thread of what was left of who we are as Americans. For three weeks you have stood in the cold, slept on the floor, skipped out of town to Illinois — whatever it took, you have done it, and one thing is for certain: Madison is only the beginning. The smug rich have overplayed their hand....

My mother was an unpleasant woman; she came from a working-class family: wonderful people, not much money, undereducated but honest, a great moral centre of honesty and probity. And she disowned them. She wanted to be a lady. And consequently became a person who was racist, anti-Semitic … It’s such a tragedy to see someone throwing their lives away on this empty journey, and at the same...

Lost at Sea
I love this trip, and if I try hard enough to hold onto it, it will maybe never end, the way it feels like my time with you never ended, the way it’s still going on in the background. I love the tops of trees, and I love the sound of Jeff Tweedy’s voice, and I love the hiss of the wheels on the pavement behind it all going a million miles an hour in the deep dark lovely middle of the...
