Bright Star
Bright star, would I were stedfast as thou art—
Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night
And watching, with eternal lids apart,
Like nature’s patient, sleepless Eremite,
The moving waters at their priestlike task
Of pure ablution round earth’s human shores,
Or gazing on the new soft-fallen mask
Of snow upon the mountains and the moors—
No—yet still stedfast,...

I almost wish we were butterflies and liv’d but three summer days - three such days with you I could fill with more delight than fifty common years could ever contain…

J'ay Desiré Cent Fois
J’ay desiré cent fois me transformer, et d’estre
Un espirit invisible, afin de me cacher
Au fond de vostre coeur, pour l’humeur rechercher
Qui vous fait contre moy si cruelle apparoistre.
Si j’estois dedans vous, au moins je serois maistre
De l’humeur qui vous fait contre l’Amour pecher,
Et si n’auriez ny pouls, ny nerfs dessous la chair,
Que je ne...

Priceless Time
I don’t think I’ll ever be able to forgive myself for missing all these years of my daughter’s life. I hope one day she’ll be able to forgive me at least.

2010: The End & The Beginning
Since getting off a bus shortly after midnight at a dimly lit brick building in the woods just inside the gate of Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri on June 24th 2004, I have been counting up the minutes and counting down the level of my sanity to one thing — 2010. 2010 being the year that I will finally be released from my voluntary bout in involuntary federal slavery. Now some of you twats are...

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm’d;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature’s changing course untrimm’d;
But thy...

My list of favorite films from 2009. →
Like choosing fifteen orphans to take home and love and fifteen orphans to march off a cliff, I begrudgingly chose my fifteen favorite films of 2009.

My love is as a fever longing still,
For that which longer nurseth the disease;
Feeding on that which doth preserve the ill,
The uncertain sickly appetite to please.
My reason, the physician to my love,
Angry that his prescriptions are not kept,
Hath left me, and I desperate now approve
Desire is death, which physic did except.
Past cure I am, now Reason is past care,
And frantic-mad with...

Things I Promise Myself This Year
Resolutions. They are meant to be broken. So here are a list of things I promise myself, not necessarily resolutions, that I will either do or stay faithful to this year.
Read at least one book a month.
Take at least one photo a day and upload it.
Never go more than a day without writing a blog or journal.
Learn conversational Italian.
Refresh my French.
Keep all of my theater...
