These Days

2010-01-28T19:47:00.001-08:00

I've been out walking
I don't do too much talking
These days, these days.
These days I seem to think a lot
About the things that I forgot to do
And all the times I had the chance to.

I've stopped my rambling,
I don't do too much gambling
These days, these days.
These days I seem to think about
How all the changes came about my ways
And I wonder if I'll see another highway.

I had a lover,
I don't think I'll risk another
These days, these days.
And if I seem to be afraid
To live the life that I have made in song
It's just that I've been losing so long.
La la la la la, la la.

I've stopped my dreaming,
I won't do too much scheming
These days, these days.
These days I sit on corner stones
And count the time in quarter tones to ten.
Please don't confront me with my failures,
I had not forgotten them.

I'll Be King

Z,

Though you’re miles away I feel like you’re right next to me,
In the morning,
When the Sun streams through my parted curtains,
It feels as if your hands are on my skin.
Whenever we meet we get one step closer to that kiss,
but it has taken years to get this far.
The next time I see you,
I swear,
I will kiss you and it will be everything and more than I expected it to be.

I can’t wait.

See you in July.

Here's to you

2009-05-23T20:10:00.000-07:00

" I have a goddess of a wife who sweats ambition and empathy and a daughter who reminds me too much of what I used to be, full of love and joy, kissing every person she meets because everyone is good and will do her no harm. And that terrifies me to the point to where I can barely function. I can't stand the thought of Frances becoming the miserable, self-destructive, death rocker that I've become. (...)
Thank you all from the pit of my burning, nauseous stomach for your letters and concern during the past years. I'm too much of an erratic, moody baby! I don't have the passion anymore, and so remember, it's better to burn out than to fade away.
Peace, love, empathy,
Kurt Cobain
Frances and Courtney, I'll be at your altar.
Please keep going Courtney, for Frances.
For her life, which will be so much happier without me. "

Suicide letter from Kurt Cobain, Lead Singer from the band Nirvana.

Got this from stumbleupon and decided to search his complete biography on wikipedia, to be able to understand his whole story. Sad and terrible, he could have probably lead a normal-ish life if he had been diagnosed with the chronic stomach condition that made him emotionally unbalanced. Imagine that, someone could have prevented his many addictions with one simple diagnosis. Here's to you, Kurt, no one deserves what you went through.

If you die you're completely happy and your soul somewhere lives on. I'm not afraid of dying. Total peace after death, becoming someone else is the best hope I've got.
- Kurt Cobain

I am one of those people who has never been able to keep a diary. I don't know why I just find it kind of repetitive to re-think about your whole day and fill a book of your life stories. I would if I could, but my butterfly brain stops me. This is why, inspired by Inchmark, I decided to create a jar of thoughts. This jar contains ideas, questions, thoughts, loves... Anything that is going through my mind before I fall asleep. I'm considering emptying it out every month, since it's getting pretty filled up, and keeping it as a time capsule to read next year.
