I think: I don’t like to be around people who just talk about themselves, but maybe I just don’t want to BE one of those people. But if we’re the sum of the 5 people we surround ourselves with… oh, hell. It’s a catch-22, and then fuck, fuck. I’m a cliché. I’m a book title, judge me by my appearance. Is this what it’s come to? My dreams are the most interesting thing, and yet, the common consensus is that dreams are either boring or some Freudian bullshit or, I suppose, a portal to a parallel universe – and if that’s the case, hello? Am I visiting, hello? Is anyone out there?

Is this what we have come to? Life is just a repetitive routine, a series of repeating patterns, circles and loops. We do errands just to keep existing, or we can order things in an endless supply. To sleep to eat to drink to eliminate the toxins and take them in again – but isn’t it just that we believe what we are told, what we tell each other, ourselves? That this pill is full of what you need and this drug is bad and alcohol is poison but it feels good? It’s an Alice in Wonderland Adventure inside the clock, because here we are boxing up this and shipping back that and killing the atmosphere but no big deal, right, because no no don’t worry, we’ll just melt all that stuff in the landfill with the strongest-but-do-not-worry-because-they-are-natural-chemicals, believe us, US, the Authorities, you believe us don’t you? Believe what you read or are fed or are shown over and over, and just don’t believe the stuff from other countries, bc those are Other. This is what I am going to do today, I think my husband is cheating on me, omg who what where wear to work, wear to bed, where something slutty? No no we’ve been there done that we’re already dead. What’s more hardcore than cottagecore? Exactly the point I should learn to grow something, “how to” you know, how to grow this time of year book they used to teach you how to cook and sew. No no THEY do THAT in China, Russia here we do dollars, dollar, bills, dolls and oh, sew, so what. What a mess we have created. All the time. Time, continuous.

No one talks anymore.

Maybe it’s just me. Back in college I noticed some girls were getting tattoos on the inside of their lips. Cute, right? Not me, I got my lips sewn closed. I know, you’re disgusted. But it doesn’t seem to matter, everything went on just the same. No one actually ever cared what I had to say – it’s crazy. They asked for my opinion and went on talking. In the past when I complained, it was like they weren’t even listening. I thought it would be an interesting experiment, but then it was just like it had always been this way, like I was mute. Actions speak louder than words anyway.

Stitched up stick up pick up and leave. What’s the matter? Shrug, wave, blink.

A thread travels behind me and from time to time when I get lost in my thoughts I trip, step on it, and it pulls, but there’s no reason to complain. I did it to myself.

Grow Your Own Tiny Dino!

Not a toy. I have eggs. Some are still frozen cryogenically, others are being warmed now in an incubator and are almost ready to hatch. Crypto preferred, serious inquiries only. No dumb questions. I don’t have Alien eggs yet but I am working on it.

Cindy, I found your shoe

Everyone sees shoes along the road or on telephone poles, and it’s my job to collect them. I spend all day picking up discarded sneakers and sandals. I used to make up stories about their owners just because I don’t know their origin, but today I found a shoe and it was different. I recognized it – I picked it up, and I immediately knew it was yours, it was just the one shoe. I know your size, and your style, and I touched it and I was transported to another time. I almost got hit by a semi just thinking about what you were doing and how you lost your shoe – where was the other shoe? Where are you? Are you ok? Are you hurt? I have never thought about the other shoe owners like this, because they weren’t you. I miss you so much. I need to find you. Do you remember me? Please reach out to me. I’m still here, I won’t stop till I find you.

GUITARIST WANTED FOR BAND

BANANANANANANANANANANANANANRAMAjaaaamband!!!! Lol cool but no seriously also we’re looking for someone four twenty friendly, and a practice space. Drummer is Dave, he’s great but his wife has stopped allowing us to use their home bc obviously she sucks. Lol jk dave My mom has 86d the garage here due to something about the HOA. So that’s annoying, also I am the lead singer. We have a bassist, but he’s got another band and another family so I can’t tell you his name or anything else about him. You’d be the star though. Well. Costar. With me. And I guess it would be great if you like lived in the country or something. Whatever, anyway. Also you could help us come up with a name for the band. If you’re interested hit me up! We can jam and see if you’re a good fit. We only want someone who is really talented. Thanks!

Shy F4M

I don’t do personals but I am seeking some company – I guess I AM ready to date! Woo! Lucky you. So, here I am in the locals section. About me: I’m shy, new to the area, and just turned 30. I have never been married, and I am in ok shape, so maybe let’s get a conversation going through email, see if we mesh, and then meet up and walk around. You can show me some local parks or some of the outdoor areas now that the weather is getting nicer. I don’t like big crowds.

Re:RE: Shy F4M

I love someone who is confident enough to make baseless assumptions. It sounds like we’d be a great match. Be sure to hit me up for that hike. I, too, love Jesus.

DINO EGG SCAM

DO NOT BUY THE DINO EGGS. It’s a scam. I gave this man everything I owned in bitcoin because I wanted a Pterodactyl and first of all, he said I couldn’t choose the type of dinosaur I got, which is absolute bullshit. Now, I’m on my way home with an egg that is about to hatch and I swear to fucking god, I think I am going to get a Stegosaurus, which is stupid as shit. Who wants that, those are the lamest dinosaurs, they’re slow and fucking VEGAN!! Wtf ugh I’ll keep you updated but I would have rather gotten a fucking snake because this is a real letdown. Don’t buy from that guy. To watch the hatching live on my twitch stream click the link bit.ly/fr3.th I can’t tell you when it’s gonna happen because I don’t think birth works like that.

Don, It’s Cindy

Your fairytale fantasy involving my shoes is bizarre bordering on fetishism. Please stop trying to contact me. I never lost my shoes along any highway, though I suspect that’s why you got that stupid job, and if you have any doubts, I also stopped donating shoes because of your little obsession. We don’t have a connection any longer, and you’re no prince, you’re just my loser ex and you’re lucky this is the armpit of the internet because I will absolutely file a restraining order if you “don’t stop till you find me” or whatever you said. Do not do this. Please go back to your recycling job.

Spirit Offerings

I don’t know who you are or if you are capable of using the internet, but if so… I need to get a message through. I definitely agree and believe in whatever you are all doing, but if you could please move your ceremonial offerings from the location that is currently outside my building. I believe in your right to be there as well as the spirits or fairies or whatever? I don’t know. And obviously sure, the ants, too. However, at present they are converging en masse at the entrance to my building, actually. All kinds of insects. This is also drawing other kinds of wildlife to my area. I started having a hard time leaving for work, and then leaving my house at all. That was before the bites. Now they’re tunneling into the house. I think we need to move. Maybe the ghosts were actually a better situation. Let’s set up a virtual meeting? I hope that you are actual humans.

New Concept Restaurant Opening – Hiring All Positions

B&W is a new concept restaurant opening in the recently revitalized East side! This is going to be our most exciting venture yet. We’ve completely gutted a vibrant traditional home that was owned by an original resident of the area whose family has called this area home since 1821. Incredible craftsmanship! Wait till you see what we did. Such a vintage feel, but without the vintage stuff or people, or smells. We love the authentic vibe! You’re going to love it too. The robust area boasts a ton of other restaurants doing similar stuff, so we wanted to set ourselves apart. How? With a concept.

Here are some perks. 

Shift meal once per week

No tipping establishment! We’re going to pay you what you’re worth! 😉

Segregated bathrooms, just like in the old south! Just kidding. We believe men and women are different species (haha) but really just 2 bathrooms

Disposable, completely biodegradable napkins, plates, etc! Everything gets composted out back for our best surprise yet…

We bought the FARM! We bought the lot out back which will be turned into a fully sustainable working farm! And YOU get to be a part of the process from start to finish!

Potential live-work situation for some based on need, which we will determine

Tips (like, we want your ideas!)

Please reply with photos! Super excited to see you all! 👀

Birds or drones?

The birds have been awfully loud lately. Yall think its drones or birds? Im taking a poll or maybe starting a group either way reply with bird drone watching thank you!

Pest Control by Rudy

All Natural Pest Control! The Old Fashion Way.

Please contact us today! Read our reviews on Yelp! and acebook! That’s a little joke from Rudy haha no one has ever lost a face, we did find a finger once. The review is actually ON Facebook!!

Strangers on a Train

I have never seen this movie, but I understand the premise and if you decide to reply, I assume you do too. It’s a classic, so it’s also on Wikipedia. Not saying “I” want to commit a “crime” but I think there’s some safety in the “anonymity” of the “internet.” I’m not a lawyer or a police officer, but this could be fun, and also I love trains. Let’s see where this goes!

Experienced mechanic

Can’t explain why I don’t have a job lol but I am great with my hands so hmu it’s 3:00 I’m lonely

RE:Experienced mechanic

Can you just actually just share your Spotify playlist because based on how you just showed your age and that iconic reference I feel like it’s probably a wild ride

How do I get in?

I think of you little 
I think of you less
Soon it will evaporate 
And not long after that
It will rain 
Long forgotten tears
Memories from a time we 
Stored in the clouds 
“How does it work?”
We have trouble understanding 
But you are a different you
And I am a different me
We taste 
Water with a different pH
How stupid of us
To think those things 
Matter

@ all

What is perfect

people are

What is fun

What is love

What, I ask

What we are

How do I define myself

The divine, self : what is

An image or a word

A constellation

A conglomeration

A soup

A tangle

A mistake

…many mistakes

Seeking perfection in

Imperfect shards

Broken discards—

—my favorite things;

The camera of my mind finds a candid moment

Rarely purposefully focused or created

Documenting accidents of time and the juxtaposition of some beauty against the scrambled backdrop of reality, <occasionally harsh>

For what else is hope?

more synthesis than synthetic this

Rag-and-bone life

Or maybe both

Stitched together to form something whole-a quilt of humanity

More what, less why

The stories woven to become a rendition grander than biblical proportions;

Our waves and frequencies beam out to stars and galaxies-& why not?

Reflecting on older traditions

They/we/You&I

Become an us

cell (you) lar particles

moving forever forward into space

gifted,

gifted
expected to be
perfect
prolific

working with what you have
been given
sitting
quietly
alone
in a corner - not bothering anyone, please
sniffling, stifling emotion,
oh, how well behaved 
you tell yourself
a silly story instead
perhaps into a mini cassette-
but, you will forget
everything you said
you may lose the tape,
busying yourself with something else
passing the time
hoping someone calls for you
alone
unaware you are practicing
for the rest of your life

you did a good job

…but she writes all the time

Love feels like a trick that the mind plays on the heart or maybe its vice versa and maybe I’m not strong enough to understand the difference between mirage and reality

Or maybe I am

What is 3d anyway

Gameshow, controller

Choose your player pick a weapon

choose your fight rewrite your ending

Pick a playlist, make a move

Do the twist, do the frug

look out! The floor is moving, trap door underneath the rug & like a dream you feel like falling

back to the

Beginning

What did you learn?

Caution at the turn

You cannot see ahead

You can’t prepare

Or can you?

Dance if you want-

The floor turns to ice, lace up your skates

As quickly as you do it melts it breaks

Swimming now you are swimming now

Fully clothed weighted down by the things you thought you needed before

Cold and wet its dark and you cant catch your breath but you cant stop nothing feels real but you just

don’t know

Anymore

What have you got to lose?

You gain more by getting naked

Feel something, steel yourself

Is this real?

Free your fear/Your heart warms/you are stronger than you thought

Someone hands you a blanket when you hit the edge, no tricks. Game over, no battles. Fight was won from giving in, embrace the faceless saint of aid. Your fate awaits beyond your fear and scars

all these things desired

novels appear to me murky waters

muddling words distilled down to

a poetic reduction

to what end?

constant conversations in my head

will never reach the page

exhausted by marathon effort

having run on and on

until finally I choose a tool to

transfer the story to medium

they die

midair

too tired to take shape

broken into skeletons

cursed to rattle around my skull

for all time

and you, you get fragments

I offer you

these

ALIGN

A venn diagram of our cellular selves
we overlap more easily
with those we are more alike
clearly, right…?
it seems simple
but
at times
the past pulls us back
and our sentimental hearts
are not rational thinkers
they do not understand
what makes sense
even though we are certain we know
whats best

we see the potential in a person
the way we see potential in
an object
[some future value, “x” or “ex”]
a piece of clothing, fabric
a vintage car, a piece of property
but people
are more complex
and while we see what they could become
someday>
we must face the thing in front of us
squarely
like a blank piece of paper
inviting us to draw the line
or a screen, waiting to show us what lies ahead
and before it happens we
float parallel
in the universe
unaware of the existence
of each other
or our unknown variables

searching the space that is just beyond
we work equations constantly
mentally attempting to solve
to understand how to be
more now, less wh(y)
and find an addition that works
until eventually
we multiply
