To wit,

There is always someone to replace you.

Not that there is someone exactly like you,

Waiting in the wings.

There is

Someone just like you,

Only different. 

Their face, their hands, their voice,

Don’t look the same.

It’s too complicated

To paint the picture properly

Since the colors all shift

When they walk in the room. 

There is nothing to replace you.

Not exactly, 

But don’t wait too long.

You’ve already changed

From the point where we started.

Now you’re thinking

Who’s next?

Are we in line?

Is there a list somewhere?

Is it time?

It’s been time

Since we started.

You just forgot 

To choose.

Maru Moment of the Day: A smile amidst waves of sadness.

[maru / buzzfeed.]

http://nerdboyfriend.com/2010/10/leadersofthenewschool/:

well, this happened on my birthday, so evidently it is meant to be my new look.

Original room description:

King canopied bed non smoking room with plush swing, 52 inch tv, oven, refrigerator and dvd player.

After an hour on the phone with support, evening desk clerk insisting that they don’t cancel reservations but the reservation was cancelled, all other “brokers” insisting the reservation was still active, and finally transferring to another hotel in the same chain, room description now reads:

2 king beds, ceiling fan, stove, microwave, refrigerator, 52 inch tv, and enough pillows to start a small pillow war.

Texas: pillow capital of the U.S.

I just uploaded “Holiday” to www.mixcloud.com - listen now!

Not enough pizza rolls.

Are we the existence we plan to be?
Even in planning there is spontaneity.
Are we the figments of our nightmares past,
Or just rambunctious forward-thinking rebels?

Fictitiousness, my ample imagination knows
Is a place where one can spend years. 
Living under the bridge of illusion
Not knowing which end comes
And which end goes. 

Now, as I stand on the water
Facing both to and fro
I see the ridges under my eyes 
Grow deep.

Looking out I am yet looking in. 
My reflection is not the same from 
Place to place. 
The walls have molded me
In a plaster of Paris cast.

I smile and seams shatter. 

So many masks,
Yet all are true. 
I wore them,
Wear them,
Retire them,
Recycle them. 

So, are they named?
Do they dream different dreams?
Have they met in a coffee shop
Somewhere in Brooklyn,
And wondered
"Do I know you"?

The water is above me
But I breathe air.
The cars float around me
Too busy to notice
They are all going backwards.

Benign as it is,
It would be good
If I knew
I was going backwards.  
Though going forward
Is going backwards
In reverse
Depending on the level of optimism involved. 

Ah, back on top.
The bridge is below me. 
I can see everything.
But I'm happy
Seeing as little as possible. 

I'll just stare at this candle
Until it moves me. 

At no other point in my day am I likely to have context to say:

I was just thinking this morning of a time in the future where I’m asked “you remember how (pop culture reference) was awesome?” and my reply was “no, I had that erased.”

Maaaaaaan.

ritaremixed:

Love mouton :) great bar.

I second that!

I posted this on the Tumblr already, but figured since the DinoEspo mixtape$$$3 is now surviving its… second, er… third hard drive failure?  … There have been many things telling me that it will be ready soon, but one of them is not Demetrius’ hardware.

Still, it will be ready soon, and  you will love it.

This is the “see how fast I could get through as many tracks that I’ve really loved lately” mix. Its got gems from Self-Help’s group Alleyes Manifest, Holy Ghost, my mentor; Firecat 451, Computer Blue beautifully destroying The Rapture, and my favorite SMD track of the moment.  Also, Senior Stereo is amazing.

Old school, but still awesome.

There’s nothing quite like looking out the window and seeing a foot hanging off the side of the roof.  

Watching tea leaves unfurl is like your own personal time-lapse experiment.

We're going here this weekend:

Hi Cleveland.  We’re coming for you on Saturday. 

Cori is obsessed with Day of the Dead, so we are journeying up to visit friends and see the festivities at Dia de los Muertos Ohio.  I am excited.

My good friend Jacob Hand used two of my tracks for a promotional video.  Its nice to see things get used.

This is the “see how fast I could get through as many tracks that I’ve really loved lately” mix.  Its got gems from Self-Help’s group Alleyes Manifest, Holy Ghost, my mentor; Firecat 451, Computer Blue beautifully destroying The Rapture, and my favorite SMD track of the moment.
