other people's birthdays'
for my own..

instead of ordering pointless ishh on the internets at ungodly hours, you can look up answers to pressing questions:

what is the deal with corn nuts?
who are these people?
and
what is swag?

proof that e-How has everything covered.
re: How-To Make Swag

"A swag is a type of window treatment [who knew?] in which a strip of material is draped loosely from one end of a window to the other. How you drape the material is completely up to you, but there are two basic ways that are normally used. Once you understand the basics, you can change the flow of the material to fit your style. One important thing to remember is, for fuller looking treatments, it is best to have a wide strip of material."

R.R.R. Translation: Swag is a loosely-draping attribute, and how you carry your swag is up to you. There are some basic ways to carry swag, and once you get the hang of it, you can make your swag suit you, to the point where people stop and recognize your swag-ness. More swag means more material. Huh.

Does your swag hang low?
Does it wobble to and 'fro
Can you tie it in a knot?
Can you tie it in a bow?
Can you throw it o'er your shoulder
Like a first-class hoe,
Does
Your Swag
Hang
Looooow?
Madshine, superfine
she waves to
the sunshine
out the window
was it goodbye
or just hello?
does
your swag
hang
low?

apparently, there are many kinds of swag. [re: photo]

straight cut swag
overlapped swag
double width swag
pinched swag
wrapped swag
gathered swag
mini-fold swag
pole swag
gathered swag[s]
and my personal favourite:
scarf swag.

people might remember it. 
Tell me what I can't do,
and watch me do it.
Tell me I am good,
and I'll be better.

pockets full'o Pringles!
[and strawberry twizzlers, fresh from the farm]

and pop it! #fun
But please do sweep up my

all the fun
i used to haz
and the things i used to think
when i was sippin' on the drink.
and to make better

...how much can i haz with this hazin'?
"pennies!" they shouted, like they were extinct.

If I had known...
if I had KNOWN..
I would have looked away,
washed my hair,
put on make-up
showered-
brushed my teeth at least
worn a new shirt
they say knowing is half the battle.
well then not knowing is the war.

oh, if only I had...
known.

Damn.

Remember how...
Remember how in the old movies,
in black and white,
how people would dress up,
and have friends over for fancy dinners,
and smoke long cigarettes
and play music
and be elegant?
and how at the end, the quarreling lovers would collapse on the sofa
or kiss in the rain?
rain rain rain
yes still rain tomorrow..
remember how it used to be
all pretty and gay/ghay
curled hair and eyelashes?
for no particular reason?
except to just exist?
remember how the light and the shadows
work their way into
some magnificent beauty
Greta Garbo..
Bette Davis Eyes.
oh but all I want is her closet.

did you ever have a pen pal?
either by choice or from some elementary school project?
ever think how cool it would be to actually meet them?
hoping they were not crazy, or actually not who they said they were..or
worse..
but maybe they would turn out to be awkward.
........
and you'd have to tell them,
"you were so much better on paper".
then later, send them an apology letter. 'cause, you know, you're pen pals.
were...


 Where are all the POGS at?

I just find girls don't wear swear
words well
It's a dirty business
And you might say "no, prostitution and drug dealing is a dirty business"
But the women and the words
Are
All
Swear
but
There are
Worse Words
than
Curse Words
Like...
"Can you believe 'bling bling' is in the dictionary?"
Really?
Oh yes
But I think maybe, back in the days of the first dictionaries,
There were words in there
And they'd be like, "Yo, we can't put that in there..."
But more like "Blimey! What a preposterous entry! We can't have the word bosom!"
All we need is a little more Beer and Boob.
and Baby kittens.
Ass ass ass.

free vodka after 4.

thanks for the hip hop.

I like the place.
I like the place
Where I can
sit and lay and write
and hide my face
inbetween shadows and light
that play on the ceiling
as the hum of life continues on
all around
oh what a
feeeeeeeeeeeeling
to be there, but invisible
And be in a million other places you minds runs to
in moments of dull conversation
in a grocery store check out line
the dentist AND doctors office
In waiting for a bus
and then looking out the window on the bus
And standing at a place you don't particularly know anyone
And it's a talent I think
To notice a man
looking out the window
watching people as they pass
to watch him pass
eyes and silent quips.
But you don't see me watching..

nor can I see
the person watching me.

022

You're smart and resourceful,
I know.
And if you're not getting it from one place,
You'll get from someplace else.
It doesn't have to be deep.
It doesn't have to make sense.
Though,
It would be
nice
and
considerate
of
you.
But you are allowed to disregard at will
HECK
And that's just the top of the mountain
The one you stand on,
Day In
Day Out
But wind will teach you
It's just matchsticks.

Slippin' - Quadron

I was demanding to be the, oh so strong
Truth be told, I only want myself to tag along
Following my shadow, loaded with guilt
See what I didn't know was that
Patching up only makes a quilt

Have too much pleasure from illusions of right
It seems I'd rather loose a friend then a fight
But I'm not young enough to know everything
See what I do know is my alter ego is up-coming

I'm slippin'
'Cause I can't get me off of this throne
I'm slippin'
It's too much of a comfort zone

I'm slippin'
'Cause I can't get me off this throne
I'm slippin'
'Cause I can't get me off of this throne
It's too much of a comfort zone

Use persuasion as my strongest approach
I preach my wisdom as a neat friendly poach
Respect you don't get, it's something you owe
If you can't do what I do
It's 'cause you reap what you sow

Taking my time sharing my week
Yeah, I am good at listening
When I hear myself speak
Once I swell attention tasted
Enough won't do
Every weekend I am wasted

I'm slippin'
Once I swell attention tasted
Enough wont to
Every weekend I'm wasted

I read it somewhere that Truman Capote was a 'horizontal author':

"I am a completely horizontal author.
I can't think unless I'm lying down, either in bed or stretched on a couch and,

with a cigarette and coffee handy. I've got to be puffing and sipping."

fun.
