Remember when

Remember when it was September 11, 2001, and you slept until like noon because it was the wonderful summer between high school and college and school hadn’t started yet; and your dad for some reason didn’t wake you up even though he was definitely awake and seemed rather concerned about the effect on the stock market; and when you finally heard the news you were all like fuck it and called your friends and were all like let’s go to the beach… and it was a really nice day at the beach?

Det Utroligste (The Most Incredible Thing)

This weekend I saw into my core. I thought that it would just be ice, pure ice, but it wasn’t. There is a flame, or maybe an ember, burning red hot that is encased by the crystal ice. I thought it was extinguished, but it is not. It is made of stardust and matchstick tinder and phoenix ash. The little light shines through those stolid shells: K, L, M, N, O, P, Q. It is pulsing life, and life is warm.

Oddly Prophetic

Google’s new answering service: Bruno Mars knows what’s going on.

Also, I kind of like the lyrics “Just like the clouds my eyes will do the same:/If you walk away, everyday it will rain…” Hauntingly poetic.
