The connections
between
characters
and people,
are complex.
You can’t make them too,
out there
or they’ll hit the chord too hard,
resonate too loudly
reflect too brightly.
You can’t make them too,
perfect
or they’ll miss the mark
ring empty
and hollow.
The charcters can’t have it all
that’s too out of reach.
They have to be falling

Catcher imitation
It’s just so goddam crumby. I mean the kids, we, work so hard and all and we get is jack. That kills me. I mean, the we get the ax from those phony half-ass judges in their madman seats with their slutty heels and receding hairlines and increasing waistlines. And their bleedy-looking eyes in their snotty face in their show offy seats behind a crumby fancy table and all that crap. You’re a goner...

Mutual Addiction- CCYWC.. Maybe??
A mutual addiction. Sounds funny, a classification of what isn’t classifiable. A mutual addiction. What is it? Is it just that? An addiction, something that our society sees as a disease, something that needs to be nixed in the bud, before it negatively influences the rest of society? Is it something that your friends have an intervention over, and cut you off from your supply?...

“Oh, is it something for school?” a typical cashier question, when you’ve been flooded by kids buying tye dyed shirts.
“yeah.”
But he doesn’t know, he doesn’t know that it’s the shittiest reason on the face of the planet that we’re buying these 3 for 10 t shirts. We’re wearing them in memory, not because we all...

Catcher in the Rye- Journal #1- Chapters 1 through...
Salinger definitely utilizes diction in his novel Catcher in the Rye to his advantage. Through Holden’s narration, the vernacular is used, making it ‘normal’ and relatable to everybody,
———{Similar to Martin Luther’s 96 theses being written in the German vernacular. Catcher in the Rye had a somewhat similar effect, the language outraged parents and the actions suggested in the...

I miss writing.
I miss putting my words on the paper and being happy with what I made.
I miss twisting phrases into verse, and wrapping melodies up in tight little rhymes.
I miss being ambiguous and metaphorical. I miss using my trite similes “ironically”.

I’m making the mistake of deciding what I want to name my future children
{Declan, Holden, Amelie, Juliette} {Nothing’s final}.
I’m mistaking emotions for fact and dreams for reality. I’m falling into the dream world where up is down and down is up. I’m mistaking whims for desires, visions for the future. I’m dreaming of a new place, well, an old idea, in...
