TDP: Cheese, Ants, and a Gothic Bar Cafe
I find myself gazing at a block of sharp chedder cheese. You'd think I was a mouse the way I go through a block when I have them. Normally I stick to slices because I know my habits and it seems wasteful, not that it helps. Here I stand facing this cheese, and I find myself thinking, if only I could shrink down to the size of the cheese, for a brief moment feel like I have more cheese than I could ever finish, then just eat enough to reach some kind of cheesy bliss, and move on, no longer craving it to the same degree. Why not though, for whatever reason (because it's a dream silly, but of course I didn't know that) I knew I could shrink so I did, standing by the block, I pull off a large chunk and take a bite. Mmmm cheesy. As I stand there nibbling cheese, I spot a few ants (now quite large since I am small) wandering over and panic. I step off the table and return to my usual size. I feel stinging first on my feet then on my legs and sure enough, ants are biting me hard, burning
I can’t believe my sister convinced me to go on this ride. I can’t even see the full ride, I wonder how big it is or how long...
The Rattler is a serpentine roller coaster ride set in the desert landscape of Arizona, but it’s designed to highlight some of Arizona’s more scenic elements. It runs over a river, not in the water but suspended above it. It turns a corner and starts creeping up a large rock, and as it creeps up, it rattles violently, tipping sideways, threatening to throw you off. It sweeps steeply down the rock and twists side to side between more rocks. While all this is happening, the sky
They wanted to know what they should do
And do it they did,
No one listens but my minions
Do as I bid,
But when you lead with four arms
And one eye,
Even the purest truth
Is the deepest lie,
And the fire burns
And the dragon yearns to be fed,
And I can feel his jaws now
Locked around my head.
Let the wolf eat you
It's so fucking hungry
Saliva is dripping
And your scent is so lovely
Just let it take a little bite
Just be a sactifice
I know your hesitation
And you're absolutely right
It'll hurt just as much as you think...
But you want to feel your bones crack
You want to feel your body thrash
You want to feel your body
Slip into her soul
You want *me* to swallow you WHOLE
I can't wait another minute
Just let me bite tear sink into your flesh
Let me devour you
While you're still fresh
I want to pull apart your insides
Before the end of the night
Blood pouring over my tongue
While the night is young
Let the wo
Something is wrong. I don't feel right. I sit up from my lying position on the couch, heart pounding in my chest. I feel dizzy and heavy, weighed down by some unknown force. Everything looks normal for a moment, but no, everything goes black and I fall to the floor. I push myself up and pry my eyes open again. I try to move but something is in my way. I look down, and there's an arm holding me back. It looks like my arm but it's not my arm. I must be haluccinating. I should be able to move it then. I raise my arms and grab it with both hands. For a moment I'm shocked by how cold it is, cool like winter. I shove it out of the way with some for
I keep telling myself to go to bed,
But no but no says psuedofed.
At least I have no more pressure in my head,
Without psuedofed I'd be dead, But no but no
I'm still awake instead.
Save me,
My heart pounds at the walls of my chest,
And after being tired for days,
I cannot rest.
I just want to lay my head on a pillow
And drift away smooth and slow
Into lands of dreams
And funny things,
But no.
Instead my dreams
Fill my brain
While I wake
And go insane,
Drowning in the pain
Coursing through my veins,
Yet while my sanity drains,
I am, somehow, smiling,
Tickled to bits
In the midst of my drug addled ramblings.
There was a university that was also a carnival at night, anyone could attend and the students loved it too, the opportunity to go wild any night of the week after their studying was done. Some parents would bring their children there too. My sisters and I were all teenagers when she took us there.
We were strolling down a path past all the bright carnival lights, past the noise and the clutter of people, through some trees to an area where some of the older school buildings were. What we didn't realize was that our mom was taking us to the scariest ride they had. The ride only the big kids went on. It was a long winding river ride, with twi
Imagine promoting 3d printers out of an electric powered van. Life on the go, no need to invest in a building, less land taken up by buildings means more space for plants, better for the environment. 3d print battery for the car from materials you keep. Materials shared between vehicles connected by gps style app, hivemind like. Flying cars no roads, more space for plants. Elevate buildings, protected from floods, also more room for plants. Wild growth on the ground, gardens and landscapes in the sky. Birds adapted to flying high can survive in less oxygen, could people adapt like that? It probably would take a long time, but I'm just imagini
It was a big day but it was a quiet day. It was the day I would get to go home, and the day that the new recruits were graduating from basic training. They would be shipping out soon, but today was a day for resting and for honoring their success. I was still in uniform when my boyfriend arrived to pick me up. We didn't say much because there wasn't much to be said, or maybe we were going to speak more when we got home. Either way, we greeted each other with a hug and prepared to leave.
As we were walking, my eyes fell onto the image of a shanty little shack with a golden retriever puppy tied up to a chain inside of it. The front was open so
Design the perfect light
With pale and yellow lines,
Broad and wide
Low and high
Colors of the sky
In my mind.
Fractal smile
Dripping blood,
Broken teeth
Dark as mud,
Dropping rain
Down from my hood.
No one is ok.
No one is safe.
Adrenaline makes me gay,
Smiles in my viens all day,
Design the perfect light
And cast down it's pale ray
To find where the bodies lay.
Burning fire smoke and flame,
Carry me away,
But glance back at her perfect skin
Only slightly bashed in,
I'll never see again.

Burning fire smoke and flame,
Carry me away,
But glance back at her perfect skin
Only slightly bashed in,
I'll never see again.
Succulant screams
Unveil my dark dreaming
As a grin peels across my skin
And my hungry eyes sink in
To the bleeding.
I smell her hair,
Soon the smell of rot will settle there,
But for now it still smells
Of an evening flower,
And a quick swipe at her jugular
Unleashes red May showers,
But I will never be clean,
Midnight black
With an oily sheen,
One eye red with fury
And one green,
And I can't get enough of the screaming,
Succulant sacred cries for assistence
Met with utter silence
And a sharp blade for flare,
Leave me in an exhausted transe
Humming,
As if no one's there.
Eat more,
Eat less,
Pluck your brows
And wear a dress,
Too much,
Too little,
How can I find the middle
When I'm caught in the middle
Of so much stress,
Thoughts dance and they press,
Am I short,
Am I tall,
And should I care at all,
But their frowns
And their jeers
Have stained themselves
In my eyes and in my ears.
Dance lady dance,
Let me hold you in a trance,
Don't listen to them, but,
A mirror is your only friend
In the end
And
It's also your greatest enemy,
Because it's not just you and me anymore,
We are together with a host
Of all the other sins,
Always drawing you in.
My name is vanity
And you are drunk in
The only way to swim with piranhas
is to grow some teeth
And
Hunger makes you stronger,
but starvation makes you weak.
Rage a calm quiet storm
And be an expert at the form
To always stay at peak.
But
Also remember the daisies
And don't tossle them to tearing,
For they only bloom in gentle winds
And there's nothing else worth caring.
I wish my flirtations were innocent,
But really they never are.
I've had too much practice,
Now I've mastered the art,
I pull them along like a showboat,
Till I realize I have to break their heart
But my love is already entombed
In another bodies soul,
And though my mind likes to wander
I'd rather be consumed in whole.
The worst yet is the young who
So eeasily sway,
But it always takes a dagger
To rip them back away,
And their sweet eyes
Wonder at my lies,
But then I guess I know why,
I'm hungry for the power,
I feed on the fame,
I throw them crumbs to follow,
Till they get lost in my name.
The color of it's sweet,

You
are
an electrophile
Digital synth pop makes you smile
Neon dreams color your eyes
And your room dances with fireflies
I want to hold your polyphonic skin
And drink the angels of your electric virility in
Beneath the black light's ice fire glow
As the beats and the rhythms swell and grow
You
are
an electrophile
One
Two
And 3.14 here comes the music I never heard before
Echoing through your pulsing muscles
Pulsing through your rushing veins
Rushing through the guitar's strings
Right down to the electronicore
I want to hold your polyphonic skin
So we can feel the world's shaking vibrations and spin
I want the hear

All the animals on the cotton train
Are going where they've never been,
But their land was scorched
And their homes were torched
And where they're from,
They can never return again.
Bunny hopped off into the suburbs
Where a garden looked plump and ripe,
But the farmer threw up his rake in the air
And put up a grumpy old fight,
So bunny hops to the next and the next
Till he settles in a sparcer patch;
The kids think he's a darling
So they don't press him back,
But somewhere in all the garden greens
A poison was sprayed for the pests,
So this "pesky" little hopping rabbit's
Tiny heart stopped beating,
And now in the grass he rests.
Squirel
A million ways to bleed,
But just one way to die;
Face down in the earth
With a sword stuck in your eye.
If you had a heart
I could let you live,
But as long as you're a bastard
You'll meet the shock of my shiv.
Try closing your lids to this one,
Don't turn your head away away,
I'll gouge you out till your viens all spout
And your skin is torn and frayed.
I may seem like a bastard too
And one I'll always be,
But I'll never be worse
Than the man who's cursed,
Enough to believe men shouldn't be free.
I've been to a wave pool before, but only once. Wave pools come from a different life, permitting comfort. It's an interesting place, where the waves rush over, yet they never leave the walls. I went with my sisters and our friends, and I didn't drown, but the floating crowd threatened to swallow me. The smell of chlorine, it wasn't an ocean, but a pool in motion, slowly yet quickly, it stirs.
***
Stressed from work, anxious for the coming day, stomach tight, soda insisting that I stay awake, yet exhaustion unremitting, I am pulled into the deep depths of slumber.
[I've never been to a wave pool before, but I want to go, so I finally do.]
A purr rumbles beneath her fur
For the fashion of her fluorescent frock
Her paw quivers a slight in the night
As she slips on her sultry heels and walks
A lick of the paw's backside as she strides
And a clearing of the throat before she talks
Join me at the opera dear
You can't believe the songs you'll hear
And dinner is served
From the throats of these birds
That we'll butcher
Before the shrieks of their hearts are heard
It'll be quite the premiere
I draw with many different mediums. I do both still life and surreal. I also write poetry and prose on many different topics and in many different styles.
Current Residence: Arizona Favourite style of art: Surreal Personal Quote: It's all a matter of perspective.
I've waited to get contacts for such a long time and I finally have a pair. It's nice to be able to see the stars again without having them be framed in with a pair of lenses.
I've been waiting for someone to teach me how to drive and finally I have a boyfriend who's willing to do it. I got my driver's permit and I've practiced a few times, but I'm still a bit shaky. I need to gain a better familiarity of my city to drive, and yet when I'm in the car either driving or riding with someone else, everything tends to blend together in a way that makes me easily forget the path from one place to the next. It seems to help looking at maps, but I n
I'm normally a very fast typer, but at the moment I'm having some trouble because my sister just did my fake nails and they're a little bit on the long side. So, I'm mostly writing this journal to practice using my fake nails. I'm not doing as badly as I thought I would, but I'm still making a number of mistakes. Initially though it was impossible to type without looking at the keyboard because I have the muscle memory of the key location on the pads of my fingertips, but not at my nail tips. Since it does still seem to be giving me problems though, I think I'll take a minute to describe what they actually look like. I'm going to try a differ
I've never learned or used html before, but I just learned how to use html in my writing. So, while I have something that I want to write first,afterwords I'm going to go through and find out if there are any cases where some html will add something to the piece. I did that with one poem just now and it seems to me like it really did help out, partly owing to the particular topic that was chosen (insanity, from the insane person's perspective). I'll make a journal letting everyone know which pieces (if any) have been changed when I'm done.
