You learn to throw things away - thoughts, memories, friends. You learn to lose. The better you get at it, the easier it is to get through life. All life does is take from you. It bleaches your bones and takes your flesh to market. When you try to hold on, pieces of you get torn away.

Thats awesome. And odd- i have only heard TERRIBLE things about mgmt live besides the fact that they play time to pretend ok. Maybe they shaped their shit up. Rokys going to be playing with the black angels here. Did you see any other bands you liked? i was disappointed by f.l. blocks blood roses and am currently reading quakeland. Also fell in love with the poetry of mary oliver- my new favorite poetry in a while.

we went to the ocean yesterday. It was amazing. Giant starfish and turquoise anemones. A river that flowed through the beach and into the ocean. The softest sand. I must end up by the ocean. It holds my heart.
You MUST read mary karr's poetry. (and her novels are great of course). I am currently divulging in Sinners Welcome, with The Vipers Rum on my next-to-read list. <3
