Isn’t it funny that you can have faith in having faith? Well I think it’s funny…redundancy like this proves how retarded this language can get. Or maybe just how retarded I can get…

Let's Haiku on Manitou
At that time I was 9,
before we rode bikes on Manitou,
last took the blue heron in the fathom five,
quaint is painted over a hue to subdue,
a tragic sinking of the True North Two-

children under a weighty lake huron,
Wonder what happened to the first one,
was there a fleet or just two ships good at fleeting?

nakedhouse:
According to Stevens, the inspiration for the title was a name he created to describe his penis:
“”Mona Bone Jakon” is another name for my penis. It’s the name I give it. It’s not some sort of secret vocabulary, it’s just something I made up.”
Hahahaha Great Album, but now I’m starting to question that title track…
Yes, I’ve got a Mona Bone Jakon But it...

So I didn’t have popcorn but I found these raisins,
they are the green ones…
so that’s tastey…
Ah man, I love when relationship stuff gets splattered all across facebook, where’s my popcorn…
Ah,
I hope they never learn,
I mean I feel for both parties but comedies roots are sewn in tragedy
I forgot that I write my own reminders.
Note to self-
Need to mix a few songs over again, noticing a lazy repetitive panning of certain instruments, vocals, that kind of makes listening to the songs one after the other monotonous. This is why making a record can take a long time, there are so many tiny teeny factors that must be tended to, though these are not difficult. There is so much work ahead of me, it’s beautifully daunting. I need a...

Love Isn’t Hard, You’re Just Insensitive: An imaginary self help book from Benjamin Schillaci, author of other titles such as: Replace The Word IT With YOU, And YOU Are Where IT’S At,
and: Show Me Someone Who Knows The Unknown And I’ll Show You A Liar
don’t push fear away,
its absence will frighten you
examination marks,
keep you a float, you buoy,
and I’ll blame my instrument,
but it’s no players piano,
where has reform gotten us,
is it all a bunch of hooey

At first I wasn’t sure about this song but then I read through these lyrics while listening to this and got goosebumps. It’s the most inspirational I think that I’ve ever heard Conor sound. Gah! this song seriously, hearing that The Cure influence.
Really elated and yet humbled by the response I got in Hamilton at the Art Bar. It’s keeping me up, and wired. I will most definitely come back there, but I’m going to try to keep covering as much of the GTA as I can. I think the fatal flaw is sticking to one place solely like I was doing before, or just one area. As a wise deep girl once said, you have to attack them from all...

Something interesting I found on a scrap of paper...
Don’t mistaken this trajectory, as sadness,
Don’t mistaken this concave as gladness,
while the rest were learning about the functions of conjunctions,
I stared down the apartments past the field fence,
my silent decadence,
obnoxious physical presence,
‘this will look good on my application,’
weren’t you listening when we learned about assimilation?
it’s...
Writing a song in five minutes can be the most passionate explosion of music ever.
Finish one song, and start another
dessert in a desert is eating cacti,
address a dressing room in the woods,
with desire to stare at what no one should

body but mine,

Yet it is appropriate,
to film suffering as entertainment,
But If we frolic naked in a field of corn,
we’ve been fore warned,

Who knew sitting around hitting bongos, and playing ukulele could be this exhausting. Goodnight computer, and smelly room. I will probably be back…Guh!
really excited that all of the new songs are coming along while performing them live in my basement. If anyone has any pointers, and by pointers I mean places they think I should perform at in the GTA let me know. And come out!

a fact is an act
that is a forever action,
forever may not bring satisfaction to use,
forever is forever,
arbitrary and subjective,
what is forever from a fruit fly perspective?
could forever be the grass?
it never leaves, though leeves cover it,
and snow hides the yellowing sprouts,
maybe forever,
is the loss of hearing,
caused by a deaf woman who forever shouts?

Watch I Heart Huckabees. If you’ve seen it already, watch it again.
I am swan boy, I’m always power walking away
Yes I am sensitive,
I’m a human being aren’t I?
My sensory organs work,
so don’t be a jerk,
My sensory organs play,
each key pitches a note,
one could say.
