It only takes 20 minutes for the NYT to shift the blame.
After allowing them onto the bridge, police cut off and arrested dozens of Occupy Wall Street protesters.became
In a tense showdown over the East River, police arrested hundreds of Occupy Wall Street demonstrators after they marched onto the bridge’s Brooklyn=bound roadway.Don’t let this simply vanish, people. Don’t let them get away with this. Force the NYT to own this, and accept responsibility for lying to their readers, to protect the 1%.
They’re terrified of us.
They know that we’re coming for them.
This is only the beginning.

“Under a sky, no one sees,
Waiting, watching it happening.
Don’t hurry give it time,
Things are the way they have to be.
Slow down, give it time,
Still life, you know I’m listening.
The moment that you want is coming if you give it time
When you wake up, when you wake up,
You will find me
When you wake up, when you wake up,
You will find me
Under a sky, no one else sees,
yourself appears in front of me,
*the sky clears, the sun hits* … i’m here
Waiting, what’s happening.
The moment that you want is coming if you give it time
When you wake up, when you wake up,
You will find me
When you wake up, when you wake up,
You will find me”
Still Life – The Horrors
This song has been rattling around in my head for a week. It has a great hook, sounds really good and I’m a big fan of the band; but that isn’t why. I can’t shake this tune because of the lyric and the way it describes everything I want with such eloquence. Every morning when my alarm rings the first thing I do after shutting it off is turn my head to see an empty pillow, and I am realizing I am not really ok with that. I’m not ok with settling for some random person either, so I wait. I know you are out there, and I suspect you feel it too.
In the meantime, I am getting a goddamed kitten.
there have been too many reasons to think about mortality this past week. the death of friends, relationships, dreams; all these carry their own weight - it is left to us to choose the direction this heaviness pushes us in.
i don’t really talk to many people about this sort of thing. it just gets to be a bit much - i am fine, and will be fine tomorrow, but tonight I am listening to vienna by Billy Joel and crying like a schoolgirl.
life is a beautiful thing, but i fucking hate this part.
“Slow down you crazy child
You’re so ambitious for a juvenile
But then if you’re so smart tell me why
Are you still so afraid?
Where’s the fire, what’s the hurry about?
You better cool it off before you burn it out
You got so much to do and only
So many hours in a day
But you know that when the truth is told
That you can get what you want
Or you can just get old
You’re gonna kick off before you even get halfway through
When will you realize…Vienna waits for you
Slow down you’re doing fine
You can’t be everything you want to be
Before your time
Although it’s so romantic on the borderline tonight (tonight)
Too bad but it’s the life you lead
You’re so ahead of yourself
That you forgot what you need
Though you can see when you’re wrong
You know you can’t always see when you’re right(you’re right)
You got your passion you got your pride
But don’t you know that only fools are satisfied?
Dream on but don’t imagine they’ll all come true
When will you realize
Vienna waits for you
Slow down you crazy child
Take the phone off the hook and disappear for a while
It’s alright you can afford to lose a day or two
When will you realize…
Vienna waits for you.
And you know that when the truth is told
That you can get what you want
Or you can just get old
You’re gonna kick off before you even get halfway through
Why don’t you realize…Vienna waits for you
When will you realize…Vienna waits for you”

Thats a 23 year engagement. Three times as long as I was married. Well done, ladies.
today was/is a good day.
like most good days, it was not an easy day - rather the kind of time that shows you what you are.
well, it reminds you anyway.
either way, today i made a decision i have wrestled with for some time; and a part of me is at peace finally. time will be the tell if my choices were right or wrong i suppose. but for now, for this moment, i am at rest.
HAPPY CANADA DAY!
We also put alcohol in our beer.
(via openareas)
there are days that I spend too much time thinking about things way outside of my control.
there are other days that I say “fuck all that”, those are better…
today is one of those days :)
