A Different View

I’m never on this side when I look towards the lake. I’m always on the hill, not the person spectated. I’m always looking to the sound, but here, I am part of the sound.

Misplacement – Journal 8/7/17

Found a tripod suitable to fit into a MOLLE shotgun scabbard I happen to own thanks to airsofting! And today I’m out and about Pierce County looking for a suitable MOLLE backpack to be able to have. For you military enthusiasts browsing this little journal, I have had an ALICE modular backpack system for a few years now, but I want to upgrade the the prior mentioned MOLLE loop system.

For those not in the know, MOLLE is basically the webbing on the backs of backpacks you might see in outdoors...

Core

Glass globes
Carry an oil
Core colored
Pink

Like an alien ocean
Teeming in enigma

Of what lies within

In an Idle Nowhere, where nothing happens besides a primal urge to sustain its own existence.

My Type

My type of girl
Doesn’t have to travel the world

I want a girl who’s body
Can be read like a book

My type of girl can go
Drink for drink with me

Maybe a girl who I can
Kiss through cigarette smoke

A girl that might have dyed hair
Though I really don’t care

As long as

I meet a girl who’s into me
Like I’m into her

My type of girl
Is kinky as hell

A kind of girl that still knows
What I want for my birthday

My type of girl will
Kill cockroaches for me

She’ll know my starbucks order
And have hugs...

Recreational Scowling – Journal 8/3/17

New lens arrived. Having 6 times the power of my old lens is a little intimidating, and it has also taught me that I definitely need a new tripod to keep the thing steady. So that’s part of tomorrow’s conquests!

In other news, British Columbia is burning down, and now Puyallup looks like San Bernardino with the haze in the air and red setting sun. It’s fantastic! The smoke layer is so thick it’s actually shielding the region from the higher temperatures from the sun, so good on ya, Canada!

Downtown

Downtown
I’ve only ever heard of it
It’s another dimension
To me
A place I haven’t been able
To find

Downtown
Upside down

A door has opened
In another world
When you step out of
Your car

A switch flipped
Puzzle pieces fitted

It’s like having a
Slack jaw
After being
Punched in the face
By the city
At dawn

To see the lights
Of tiny suns
As you walk in the valley
Of the shadow of breath

As the universe breathes
You are a part of something

Anything

But it doesn’t matter
What
It actually is

You we...

Greyhound

Pounding of their paws
Derby lanes tossed apart
Tension between maws
