#OccupyTogether: The Best Among Us →
There are no excuses left. Either you join the revolt taking place on Wall Street and in the financial districts of other cities across the country or you stand on the wrong side of history. Either you obstruct, in the only form left to us, which is civil disobedience, the plundering by the criminal class on Wall Street and accelerated destruction of the ecosystem that sustains the human...

Why I am Not a Painter by Frank O'Hara
I am not a painter, I am a poet.
Why? I think I would rather be
a painter, but I am not. Well,
for instance, Mike Goldberg
is starting a painting. I drop in.
"Sit down and have a drink" he
says. I drink; we drink. I look
up. "You have SARDINES in it."
"Yes, it needed something there."
"Oh." I go and the days go by
and I drop in again. The painting
is going on, and I go, and the days
go by. I drop...

Thoughts
How utterably disgusting live is!
Not really, but sometimes don’t you just want to scream? I am stoned listening to Jeffrey Lewis because I forgot how good he was. I am re-reading my edits for my thesis; this is going to kill me, but its what gets me through each day.

Disillusionment of Ten O'Clock
The houses are haunted By white night-gowns. None are green, Or purple with green rings, Or green with yellow rings, Or yellow with blue rings. None of them are strange, With socks of lace And beaded ceintures. People are not going To dream of baboons and periwinkles. Only, here and there, an old sailor, Drunk and asleep in his boots, Catches tigers In red weather.
-Wallace Stevens

Family
Today is my father’s birthday and he’s had a pretty tough year. He also found out one of his closest friends died last night, and hes been broken hearted all day. It is painfully sad to see people you love leave, particuarly really decent people too. Despite everything, I had an amazing day with my family, and I would never replace them for all of the world. That can be hard to say...
