Reality

Maybe-not right now.
Then when?
In the quiet of your mind.
I am watching HBO
Is it the one where she dies?
Of course, they're all like that.
Then why can't you change the channel?
I like to see how it happens.
You can record it for later.
No, then it doesn't feel real.

Home

You are three times the age of 12
but the weight of your mother's heel
on the floor boards above you
is still too much to bear
in the house that you own
When your father asks-what are you going to be
when you grow up
because your title cannot be defined as "doctor" or "engineer"
You've answered one too many times to respond
You blame the sound of your husband's snoring
But you wake to watch the morning game show
that's still the same as ten years ago
though the price of gas is ten times higher
which doesn't even matter since you drive a shitty electric car
through the drive-through every morning
to feed an empty stomach
that everyone questions you about
But when you were a little girl
They always said you can be anything
you set your mind on

Rafts

there is a bottomless hole
in the place where no on goes
and no one knows
i have been there a million times before
where my finger tips can't feel
in the place where nothing's real
i'm not lost here, as you might think
there is nothing here that isn't me
everything, i've ever done, or said, is here to see
twiced breathed air is hard to swallow
as you wallow through your dreams
one fall leads to another, when you're looking for a fault
it's neither hot nor cold as you undress
skin deep is not enough, if you're picking through the bones
when the salt water hits, the sting will feel so good
this is not a hole for sinking, but for drifting as you float

Is love something you find

Like a key under a rock

Or something you lose

In the laundry, like a sock

Is it something you feel

Like pain from a burn

Or something you do

Like when you listen to learn

Is love a thought

From a reoccurring dream

Or a taste

Like fresh whipped cream

Is it a word

Like something you’ve said

Or is love a book

You’re glad you’ve read

Is love a place you can reach

Should you want to go

Or is love a thing you can see or smell

Getting Married-May 27th

I don't usually indulge is such shameless self promotion of my persona life (professional live, why yes, of course), but when else can I get away with it than when I'm getting married. Therefore, I will take this moment to brag. Yes, we may be legally married, but this is the Wedding :)

First of all, we're having our ceremony and reception at the lovely Hostess House

Then we're going on an 11 day Intermediate cruise! Visit our honeyfund at Honeyfund.com, the free honeymoon registry

I"m so excited. I just have to get through this school year first :(

Feels so good at the DOB (Oh oh oh oh oh)

There's no way I won’t come back (Oh oh oh oh oh)

Now the files are my pleasure cause the dates we couldn’t measure (Oh oh oh oh oh)

HP is great, HP is fine (Oh oh oh oh oh)

Out the archive, outta time (Oh oh oh oh oh)

The addiction of the records leaves me wanting more (Oh oh oh oh oh)

Cause I may be dirty, but I'm perfectly fine with it

Dust in the air, I don't care, I love the smell of it

Bricks and slate may be out of date

But NBs and Alts excite me

Cause I may be dusty, but I'm perfectly fine with it

Mold in the air, I don't care, I love the smell of it

Vinyl and siding I may hate

But blocks and lots excite me

Na na na na

Bushwick, Bushwick, Bushwick

I like it-like it

Bushwick, Bushwick, Bushwick

I like it-like it

Bushwick, Bushwick, Bushwick

I like it-like it (Na na na)

I like it-like it

NY is great, NY is fine (Oh oh oh oh oh)

Out of info, outta files (Oh oh oh oh oh)

The addiction to finding leaves me wanting more (Oh oh oh oh oh)

Cause I may be nerdy, but I'm perfectly fine with it

Asbestos in the air, I don't care, I love the smell of it

Plaster and putty lose their integrity

But stone and wood excite me

Na na na na

Bushwick, Bushwick, Bushwick

I like it-like it

Bushwick, Bushwick, Bushwick

Blocks & Lots

Oh, I love the history you give to me, oh, you turn me on

It's exactly what I've been learning for, give it to me strong

And meet me in the library, make my mind say ah ah ah

I like it-like it

Cause I may be geeky, but I'm perfectly fine with it

Dirt in the air, I don't care, I love the smell of it

Real estate records may make me confused

But census lists excite me

Cause I may be dorky, but I'm perfectly fine with it

Old in the air, I don't care, I love the smell of it

Class and school may make me snooze

But CAD and maps excite me

I Don't Wanna Go to Class-A parody of the late Amy Winehouse's Rehab

For those of us just waiting until Christmas break....

They tried to make me go to class and I said no no no

Yes, I am resting but when it comes to testing I know know know

I ain’t got the time if my grades are still fine

They tried to make me go to class I won’t go go go

I'd rather be on my couch

I ain’t got five days a week

Cause there’s nothing, there’s nothing you can teach me

I can’t learn from Wikipedia

Didn’t get a lot from school

But I know I ain’t no fool

They tried to make me go to lab, I said no no no

Yes, I am fine and when I get mine you’ll know know know

I ain’t got the time if the answers are online

They tried to make me go to lab I won’t go go go

The teacher said, “Why do you think you’re here?”

I said, “I need a degree”

So I can, so I can make some money

I always keep my resume near

He said, “I just think you’re a slacker”

This me, “Yeah, but I’m doing my best”

They tried to make me go to lecture I said no no no

Yes, it's not fair, but I just don't care you know know know

I don’t ever wanna think again

I just, ohhh, need to pass

I’m not gonna spend the months

Have everyone think I’m a fool

And it’s not a long wait

It’s just until they let me graduate

They tried to make me go to school and I said no no no

Yes, I could try but when I am fly you’ll know know know

I ain’t got the time if my thesis is still fine

They tried to make me go to school I won’t go go go

Gunfights

I'm quick to the draw and I'm quick to the punch
In a gun fight I'll always draw first
I shoot from the hip
I don't wait for the count
There's always a choice
And the choice is made for me
In a gun fight I'll always draw first

They don't call me Calamity Jane
They don't say get your gun, Annie Oakley
They shut up their doors
And they lock up their whores
So their men don't get caught in the fire

I'm quick to the draw and I'm quick to the punch
In a gun fight I'll always draw first
I shoot from the hip
I don't wait for the count
There's always a choice
And the choice is made for me
In a gun fight I'll always draw first

They don't call me Calamity Jane
They don't say get your gun, Annie Oakley
They shovel and they dig
And they bury the bodies
And in their whispers they wish me to hell
