In an attempt to chase away the rain clouds, I wore glitter on my eyelids. Everytime I blinked, my eyelashes created sparkles.

I need to plug in my scanner and put some drawings up already.

Song of right now:
Krishna Das - Baba Hanuman

It's just miles and miles

There must be more than letters and phone calls


say you'll come see Main when the snow falls...

Departure from GTO

Felipe, unsettled, contemplated his return home. He knew all along this past week was an escape from reality... but even that awareness wasn't enough to keep his heart from derailing.

To climb back into his shell of a routine. The same commute. The same happy hours. The same faces and smiles.
No blue eyes though.

It was hard for Felipe to come to terms with the complications of timing. A cloud of self pity hovered as he watched the attendants gesture how to accessorize with oxygen masks in the case of a sky dive.

With one last strain of hope, he prematurely reclined his seat and chose to meditate on "Good things come to those that wait."
