i miss these guys

today i woke up and it felt like i was in college again
& it reminded me of mates of state.

rainy monday mornings are only good for sleeping in...



because you do not want to deal with heavy traffic, subway signal failures,
and angry sardined passengers.

"Rachel says that love is like a big black piano being pushed off the top of a three-story building and you're waiting on the bottom to catch it. But Lourdes says it's not that way at all. It's like a top, like all the colors in the world are spinning so fast they're not colors anymore and all that's left is a white hum.

There was a man, a crazy who lived upstairs from us when we lived on South Loomis. He couldn't talk, just walked around all day with his harmonica in his mouth. Didn't play it. Just sort of breathed through it, all day long, wheezing, in and out, in and out.

This is how it is with me. Love I mean."
