St. Patrick's Day + 1

Ugh worse than new years worse than Christmas, worse than the fourth of July. The day after st.Patrick's is by far the worst day of the year.


I'm at my worst when I'm at my best.
I miss you I wish I was in that sunny park.

Love

Love is the difficult realization that something other than oneself is real.

The Tallest Man on Earth "Gardener"

I sensed a runner in the garden,

Although my judgment’s known to fail.

Once built a steamboat in a meadow,

Cause I’d forgotten how to sail.
I know the runner’s gone to tell you

There ain’t no cowboy in my head,

So now he’s buried by the daisies,

So I could stay the tallest man in your eyes babe
I sense a spy up in the chimney

from all the evidence I burned.

I guess he’ll read it in the smoke now

And soon to ashes I’ll return.
I know the spy has gone to tell you

So now he’s buried by the lilies,

So I could stay forever more

In your eyes babe.

I sense a leak inside my phone now

From all the lies that I have told.

I know he has your private number

And soon he’ll make that vicious call.
I know the leak is going to tell you

So now he’ll fertilize the roses,

So I can stay the king you see

In your eyes, babe

In your eyes, babe.

So now we’re dancin’ through the garden

And what a garden I have made

And now the death will grow my jasmine

I find it sooth and I’m afraid.

Now there is no need for suspicion;

There ain’t no crocus in your hand.

I won’t be lyin’ when I tell you,

That I’m a gardner, I’m a man

In your eyes, babe

In your eyes, babe

In your eyes, babe

In your eyes, babe.

FA 2.0

In climbing, a first ascent (FA) is the first successful, documented attainment of the top of a mountain, or the first to follow a particular climbing route. First ascents are notable because they entail genuine exploration, with greater risks, challenges, and recognition than climbs which follow.

Boy are they fun.

"Black Dirt" Sea Wolf

Here on the ground
i cannot hear a sound
just a strong and steady rain
getting louder as you sing

it may be true that i lied
i broke a promise that i tried
but my heart no longer beats
my blood makes black dirt under your feet

black dirt will stain your feet and when you walk you'll leave black dirt in the street

i could feel my face grow pale
sick with fear my senses fail
and as the light fades from my eyes
i smile but don't know why
legs are growing to the heat of the sun
and my heart no longer beats

black dirt will stain your feet and when you walk you'll leave black dirt in the street
black dirt will stain your feet and when you walk you'll leave black dirt in the street

here on the ground i lie
i cannot hear a sound as i die
it may be true that i lied
broke a promise that i tried
but my heart no longer beats
and when you kill you'll only leave
black dirt under your feet

black dirt will stain your feet and when you walk you'll leave black dirt in the street
black dirt will stain your feet and when you walk you'll leave black dirt in the street
black dirt will stain your feet and when you walk you'll leave black dirt in the street
black dirt will stain your feet and when you walk you'll leave black dirt in the street
