Big Iron World
By Old Crow Medicine Show

fall is here I can feel it. Every time fall comes I write about if coming and it being here and how great this all is. Well it is great, but fall is school and school is fall and gone are the days of marquez and eggers, gone are the days of thoughtless wondering and street stalls and I have woken up to cool frosted lawns and the first person I greet is the city bus driver. The first book I open is all about the french and the huron and the first thing i hear is a lecture on the methods of psychology.
In october i have tickets to one of the greatest shows on earth. Iron & Wine is playing at the Commodor ball room. I have an extra ticket, if any one wants to buy it from me and come let me know. 40$ for something that may change your life.
Also if anyone has a research idea that they would like to share with me pertaining to pre-confederate history i wouldnt mind.

Don't think twice, it's alright

Yesterday was a windy day in Williams lake. A good day to think of death, a world without 25 cent candy machines, and cloning. It was a warm wind so it wouldn't be a tragic day to die. And if I oculd clone myself I would. And I would make my other self either get my degree or hold another job bringing in two incomes. I haven't thought of all the details yet, I was thinking maybe it could have the spare room and i'd feed it leftovers and bring it out when company was over.

Im done my job in four days, and then the moment of moments I have to bring four rediculously heavy bags onto the Greyhound, while at the same time not being decapitated. Should be an eventful Friday. Then I have to spend my life savings on books that I may never wish to open and walk down halls full of people interveaving each other, with all their baggage and filled heads. And then when i get into the big halls, or the small halls, I will sit and stare ahead, once again contemplting whether or not I have mono and reminding myself that probably I just need more sleep, and then after I will most likely walk up the stairs to find the door locked and then I will find a new door and sit with the fish and awe at there marvelous colours and then I will go to sleep in a sad bed and have weird dreams about weird things. I look forward to this.

Dream Up Dream Up Let me fill your cup

The summers almost over. The smells of starting new things linger. I'm talking about the smells of the hallways and the air in the morning and of classrooms and people and people in classrooms, and big lecture theaters. And carpet. Every year of my childhood and adult life September has a certain smell and Iv'e never been fond of remembering it. I'm not ever sure why. But this year will be more smells, and snow...also not fond of snow. Not in the school, life, everyday until it never melts and maybe even after way. So this all will start soon. Summer ends, lakes end, suanas end, Sonja time ends, yoga in summer ends, little faces with bloody noses and precious words and snack packs and skipping ropes. It all ends. I suppose there are things to look forward to. Buying books, most wouldn't think this would have any silver lining, but I like going in that book store and picking them out, especially if they say used on the side, and if I just decide not to buy them, also fun. Because then I just think of the money i'm saving. Then theres the coffee and the music and the concerts and all the classes that do not put me to sleep and experimenting different ways of staying awake in the other ones, and the new people and information overload and wine parties and dogs and snowpants and star skys and halloween. And the sneak reading of books that aren't for class when you feel like you should only be reading text books. And the bus! I also enjoy taking the bus and now that its free it's even more fun.

At least i'm getting on with it.

Im just about finished reading "A heartbreaking work of staggering genious" by dave eggers. A good read, different.

so that one might understand; if only a little

Sometimes I think that perhaps the purpose to life may be to relax on a high chair in some smokey basement, found in the labyrinth of a fortunate city, filled with intellectuals and poor fashion sense and listen to good jazz music with the taste of cheap wine lingering on your tongue while all the beat kids sit on their leather jackets and contemplate their futures and are inspired to just be.
