disconnect.

i've been posting a lot more on this than usual lately.
i've been feeling disconnected.

sea legs.

(the shins)


of all the churning random hearts under the sun
eventually fading into night,
these two are opening now.
as we lie, i touch you under fuller light.

girl, if you’re a seascape, i’m a listing boat
for the things that carries every hope.
i invest in a single light.
the choice is yours to be loved,
come away from an emptier boat.

‘cause when the dead moon rises again,
we’ve no time to start a protocol to have us in.
and when the dog slides underneath a train,
there’s no cry- no use to searching for what mutts remain.

throw all consequence aside,
the chill aspire, people set alight.

of all the intersecting lines in the sand,
i routed a labyrinth to your lap.
i never used a map sliding off the land on an incidental tide
and along the way, you know, they try. they try.

and we got sea legs
and we’re off tonight.
can i’ve that to which they’ve no right?

you belong to a simpler time.
i’m a victim to the impact of these words and this rhyme.

‘cause when the dead moon rises again,
we’ve no time to start a protocol to have us in.
and when the dog slides underneath a train,
there’s no cry- no use to searching for what mutts remain.

crafty.

i've been really getting into positivity and doing things on my own and blah blah blah lately. my aunt took me christmas shopping just before new years and purchased me several books and a journal. as i've said, i'm a ways into the first of the books she got me, just kids, and i'm still loving every page. it's all about the lives and romance between patti smith and robert mapplethorpe and it makes me long to be a part of the days when it was safe and clean (by some people's standards) enough in new york city to walk barefoot and sleep on park benches throughout the summer. i imagine flowing floral skirts and gauzey fabrics clinging to the thin legs of patti and robert. i imagine a sweaty and smokey love that probably can't be attained by the likes of my generation. all i want is something real. something honest.

but anyways, back to doing things on my own and channeling as many positive vibes as possible. my journal is coming along well- or as well as a journal can come along, i guess that's up to the keeper of what lies inside. along with the idea of creating pages and stories within a journal, i've started creating some of the things i want to adorn my life with- accessories, art, etc. today i used a broken rosary from someone i care about and a favourite feather earring whose partner i've lost to make one fantastic gypsy-like earring that i'm wearing right now.

i've also been checking out astrology a little bit more and after figuring out my moon sign, i'm amazed. here's a run down of the information on personality traits i possess that i acquired from a moon sign calculator.

my moon sign: sagittarius > degree 6º 16'

• adventurous, friendly, optimistic, full of ideas, always on the move
• likes outdoors and travel, hates anything boring and ordinary
• need plenty of space and movement > drawn towards sports
• life on the moves excites and interests
• optimism and lack of desire to dig down into details helps to keep faith in the future
• resilient against illnesses 
• sees new places, meets new people, sharer of ideas
• interested in everything new > the first to buy new gadgets
• their homes are similar to clubs and always welcoming of new, unusual people- especially storytells of the unimaginable, unthinkable
• best stress relief is to go for a walk- preferably in a park, open field or the woods
• inability to move freely causes more stress

amazing. i encourage all of you to find out your moon signs. there's other information i dug up based on moon signs that i'm not going to share so hurry! go find out for yourself! xoxo. maggie. 

MITTONZ.

that is all.

it's not me.

new yearz post.

i've been putting this off for weeks now because i tried to wait for so long to get my fisheye prints from rails2riches developed and shared before posting again- so as not to lose focus on the post whatever-ness.. if that makes sense at all. but oh well. i forgot to get my cd made along with my prints and didn't feel like doing it once i had 'em (not wanting to relinquish the glorious prints and negatives i had just barely acquired). trust me, by the time i get them up, the wait will have been well worth it.

so here we go. happy new years. so far, my new year hasn't been terrible. i spent new years eve in plymouth, new hampshire with one of my favourite people, jordan parks, and we had a great time. champagne spray happened, dancing happened, everyone's new years kisses happened, etcetcetc.

i don't have much to say today because my post isn't really being spurred by any exciting event or momentous life occasion but i thought i'd get my first post of 2011 out of the way and do some rambling of extreme nonimportance. if you've even made it this far, i'm impressed.

what would i like to accomplish in 2011?
_ i want to be okay with myself.
_ i want to love my body for all that it is.
_ i want my friends to be happy.
_ i want people to learn how to be honest and share their feelings whether they think that it will hurt me or not. i'd rather know what is going on in people's minds than have them try and spare my feelings. trust me, i can handle it.
_ i want to be in great shape- and more importantly, in great health.
_ i want to broaden my horizons.
_ i want to take pictures every day and do superfluous amounts of documentation of my life.
_ i'm journaling again and i would love to keep it up throughout the entire year.
_ i want to read more. i've already started my latest time consumer, just kids by patti smith, and so far it's incredible.
_ i want to experience more than i ever have before.
_ i want to touch people.
_ i want to love people.

want want want want want.

xoxo. maggie.
