I do wish I took more pictures
I don't know the last time I did
Sparky has been found
Ralphie is still broken in some way
Archie will be used only when I win the lottery
Dean can be so complicated
Holga needs to be developed and her flash comes in today

Go register to vote. Because it doesn't matter whether or not you care about who wins, it doesn't matter if you hate politics, or just don't know or want to know anything about them. There are people that are affected by your vote, and it's selfish to withhold it. Your vote is what decides the direction of education, environmental, energy, and health care policies. And just because you went to a good high school, and just because you can afford to see a doctor doesn't mean everyone else can and maybe you should think about them before you decide you don't feel like voting. There are 44 million eligible "young voters" and only half actually participated in the last election. Don't say your vote doesn't matter because you're only coming up with an excuse not to care about your neighbor. Don't say you don't care who wins, look at the policies not the person if you really don't give a damn. Think about something larger than yourself because you're a part of something larger than yourself. Don't be so apathetic.

Glow worms make me want to shower for days
And I fear they may be carnivorous
Also, I have a developed a severe fear of eels
Due entirely to hagfish, also known as slime eels
The other day, I was in that 75% asleep 25% awake state
And I three-quarters-dreamed that there were eels all in my bed
I knew it wasn't reality
But I still saw and almost felt them tangling me up
I imagine it was something like being on a bad trip
Are you aware of reality when you're tripping though?
Maybe I'll look that up later

I think I'm stuck in a perpetual Overture to Illumination
And you think that things are moving along so quickly
But I'm not so sure they're moving quickly enough
Someone will read this and say
"Don't take the present for granted"
The thing is though
What if the present is taking me for granted?
Maybe

I think that people should be much more careful with their hearts. A lot of folk just walk around with their hearts open, waiting for someone to come along or to come back. But it's like wearing a swimsuit in January, hoping it'll get warm enough to go swimming. It's dangerous, you could hurt your health that way. And you could hurt your heart that way. Instead, keep that coat on but don't wear mittens. That way you can feel it if the sun warms up and then you can know that it's right to take your coat off again.

I wonder how you know when Everything is Right with the World
I mean you've gotta know, right?
Then again maybe you're not ever supposed to know
Maybe things do get right, but you never catch on
And it's all just a way to keep The Fates employed
Because you never know if things are perfect
So you keep trying to make them so
Which eventually leads to you really messing things up
And it keeps The Fates busy
Just they way they like it to be

Trust is like car keys, or a phone, or a bill
You set it down and then you can't remember where you put it
And you know it can't have just disappeared
But for the life of you you can't find it
It's only a matter of time till you find it again
What a pain it is to have it missing when you really need it
I'll keep looking though, it's bound to be around here somewhere
