Still
I still read your words. I read them because they hurt. I read them because hurt is the only emotion I am capable of feeling, even remotely in every sense of the word.
I read them because I hope one day I will be reminded of that pain when I turn away. When my shoulders get cold. When my head is empty or full. When my heart is numb.
I read them because in your words I find more than most would....

I'm feeling pretty adventurous today so go to datelink5[dot]com (switch [dot] with .) then sign up and find my profile under the username 'lolsummer69'. I hid my face in the pictures. but I want you to guess who I am and then hit me up on Facebook lol. Good luck.
Restless
The last time I woke up rested was, fittingly or coincidentally, the last time I posted something on Tumblr so, in an attempt to get some rest, I will spill my brains.
I consistently think about all of the people that have been inspiring, uplifting and/or helpful in my life, especially in music. I wish I could gush to them without sounding absurd, obsessive or downright creepy, so I always think...

Things That Hide Away
I’ve always spent a great deal of my life trying to get to the bottom of things.
When I was a child, I was incredibly and annoyingly inquisitive. As children are limitless, I felt only confounded by what I didn’t know. I always remember my father telling me “Why ask why?” Had I never asked throughout most of my childhood and further pursued the answer, I doubt I’d be...

Pursuit
I think what upsets me most is how blithe I’ve become. How accepting I am of a supposed reality based on situations that I inspire and perpetuate. Although I suppose perpetuate is a rather ironic word to use, because I am as stagnant as a marsh. That and I believe in order to perpetuate something there has to be SOME sort of movement, in which case I’d gladly take back-peddling over...

The definition of love by Ryan O’Connell →
floatingsea:
Love is still wanting to hold someone after you climax. After the initial euphoria from the orgasm wears off, you’re replaced with a sense of calm rather than a panic. You don’t want to search for your clothes, scramble to find your keys and figure out the best way to tell them, “See ya later…

An excerpt from a lost journal, February 2003
a buyer of a book full of misprints does not acquire a book but a nuisance, henceforth we rewrite and rebuild our blueprints we cross out the fault lines and rebuild our sentences. dispose of the message and the courier disregard the white wash and the murderer and we’ll dismember the artist who rendered our faces immaculate of any conception. so cut the thirteenth knot from our nooses. let...

Pundits, Rhetoric and a Massacre
There’s been an awful lot of things swirling out there in the web-osphere regarding the shooting in Tulsa, AZ this past weekend. Some of it is so strong, some of us have become caught up in it’s wind, completely disorienting our personal, political and moral views and perhaps skewing the big picture. Whether it be the political right, citing that looser gun laws would have allowed...

Listless
@KatieMuether told me about an assignment she has in one of her classes, in which she must make a list of 100 things she likes (a real challenge for such a whiner. :p). I think it’s a pretty difficult task in a world seemingly so bent on assessing what is “wrong” with us or what we “don’t” like. So here goes…

#imsinglebecause
G: I should have said I'm single because I have standards, I don't play games and because I'm upfront about almost all of my emotions
G: or perhaps I'm single because I'm drowned out by a culture that is not only hell bent on stifling and pacifying everyone, but that is also reducing almost all intimate interactions to sex and genuine interest, emotion and involvement in someone's life is viewed as "creepy"
G: or perhaps I'm single because I'm unafraid of expressing myself in any and all ways and that frightens, bothers or turns some girls off
G: or perhaps, even, I'm single because I straight up weird people out and don't provide enough chutes and ladders to make things interesting.
G: but instead of saying that, I went with
G: I'm real.
G: I feel real things, I say real things, and I am incredibly self-aware.
G: I'm single because I feel like I'm the only one.
G: and when I meet someone as unafraid as me
G: then I probably won't be single anymore.
____________________________________
G: I'm tired of feeling like I have to cage myself in order to make people happy
G: fuck that
G: I do like making people happy but it should never be at my expense.
G: and my happiness is not derived solely from other peoples, I should put more stake in my own happiness with myself and the things that I do
G: and you know what
G: I'm pretty damn awesome sometimes
G: we all are
G: and if enough people believed that, things would change.
G: we're too busy filling in gaps in ourselves that either don't exist or make us what and who we are in the first place
G: so fuck all that.

RE: Our Own Ghosts
I’ve publicly remained mostly silent about the split between Our Own Ghosts and I, but since there’s a fair amount of misinformation floating around out there, I’d like to clarify some things.
Was I upset? Hell yeah. Was I angry? maybe a little. Was I bitter? You bet. However, never, NOT ONCE, have I ever expressed any ill will towards them as people or as a band. [edit: if I...

Turn Away
I’m honestly and genuinely happy that everyone seems to be moving on, but I’m starting to feel more and more left behind.
Daniel Christopher Capobianco
22 years ago today, a life came and went. A life we would really never get to know as well as we may have liked to or thought we would.
And I spent my whole life learning a lesson from that death and all of the events that followed that would irrevocably change my life (for better AND for worse, as is life). What I learned was simple, really.
Life is way too short. We have no control of...
