kicked & polished

today i'm listening to: the subways - oh yeah

something about that drummer... that shirtless drummer.

"it is not sufficient to see and know the beauty of a work.

we must feel and be affected by it" - voltaire

"throw your soul through every open door"

-adele

i looked goodish today. i'm sorry you missed out.

you're a little boy, playing kicking can games

wouldn't have guessed you'd met your match

match yourself

match me

i'll run you in circles

crashes loud

kicked hard, far, and high

your own strength to drive away

none but the run to catch up

your recyclable love

flying stampede of cement kisses

reflecting in sunlit sparks

bleeding aluminum in caffeinated disguise

jump, crunch to a stop

run to the seize

don't catch your breath yet

i've got you beat

till another distraction comes along -jk

polish me like silver, baby

and i'll always be your dime

dress me up in boulevards

and i'll show you how I shine

sprinkle me like glitter, sugar

toss me everywhere

snap me like your fingers

until i'm beyond repair -jk

and please, please, please - let me loose on these stages

"the future belongs

to those who believe

in the beauty of their dreams"

- eleanor roosevelt

i'm gonna go celebrate nothing.

but lord knows, i'm gonna celebrate the hell out of nothing.

until next time...

whatever you want to do - do it now.

for life is time and time is all there is.

change will do you good

today i'm listening to: hotrats - damaged goods

(a cover of gang of four)

"sometimes

you just have to

jump out the window

and grow wings

on the way down

-ray bradbury

we

don't speak your facts

& numbers.

our

statistics are ideas.

fill your

books

with wasted knowledge.

we'll

smear pens on what is

real.

i

want to be smart and steady

not

littered with what i can't feel. -jk

as strong as you might

working day and night

whatever happens

do the dance, do the dance.

-justice

(the way you move is a mystery)

"i'll make it to the moon

even if I have to crawl."

- red hot chili peppers

anyone up for a midnight picnic?

"our imagination flies -

we are its shadow on the earth" - vladimir nabokov

so, i'm leavin' on the midnight train

la-dee-da

oh boy

some fun

hey babe

toot! toot!

xoxo. -jess

lie in a riot

today i'm listening to: best coast - when i'm with you

so when i'm you, i have fun

yeah when i'm with you, i have fun

yeah when i'm with you, i have fun

yeah when i'm with you, i have fun

life is the last place you will be able to come true

welcome to the gun show

(grab 'em if you got 'em)

"i don't do drugs. i am drugs" - salvador dali

you dont have to travel around the word

to see that the sky is blue everywhere

-johann wolfgang von goethe

shake my tambourine.

start making YOURSELF feel better

i'm off... to work too much and work that thang.

is it worth it?

let me work it.

i put my thing down

flip it

and reverse it.

-missy elliot

xoxo. -jess
