California Stars
I’d like to dream
My troubles all away
On a bed of California starsJump up from my starbed
Make another day
Underneath my California stars
They hang like grapes
On vines that shine
And warm the lovers’ glass
Like friendly wineSo I’d give this world
Just to dream a dream with you
On our bed of California starsI’d like to rest my heavy head tonight
On a bed of California stars
I’d like to lay my weary bones tonight
On a bed of California starsI’d love to feel
Your hand touching mine
And tell me why
I must keep working onYes I’d give my life
To lay my head tonight on a bed
Of California stars—California Stars, Woodie Guthrie

There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self.
–Ernest Hemingway
Invisible Fines
I can’t come in to
work today because my heart
is being broken.
You will never have to be afraid again.
You will never have to be ashamed again.
You will never have to be anything you don’t want to be if you’ll be with me
Because I love you.
Palms Shy Bay
Calm heights in flights,
spring rolls and soundtracks swift.
I’m mesmerized.
You chose to give me,
bravely innocent and unexpected.
I touch your face.
You requite.
This is perfect now.

Are you willing to be made nothing? Dipped into oblivion? If not, you will never really change.

Easy Limeade
- Squeeze the juice of half a fresh organic locally grown lime or use one tablespoon of shit lime juice from the grocery bottle of pasteurized lime juice (deemed not as good as adjectivated by the word “shit” but you can still get lime flavor if you go down this road but you should always prefer a corpse in hand whether it be fruit, vegetable, protein. Less pre-process is more better for your body…like walking barefoot. I digress.).
- BTW, squeeze or pour the lime juice into a glass. This pasteurization diatribe is relevant to a single serving. Sorry, not party dose tonight.
- Tablespoon of honey
- Two drops of vanilla extract or grind up some delicious vanilla beans. Actually split open the vanilla pod with a razor and scrape out the oily beans inside. They are amazing. Make a unicorn. Fly away.
- Mix up the lime juice, honey, vanilla with a tiny little whisk that only pretentious people pretending to be mixologists possess.
- Fill to the brim with soda water AKA fizzy water AKA this soda doesn’t have any flavor AKA diabeties-free soda
- Write a blog post about it
- Enjoy
