polyphony.

it's been said that i have communication issues.
i'll be honest, i don't like spending a whole lotta time laying bare my soul with my friends and lovers, journeying hand in hand into the depths of my soul and being judged. it's true.
but i can write about personal things with a bit more candor. complete candor if i don't know/don't care who's looking.
and that applies across the board, too. i can be more of myself if i don't know/don't care who's looking.
so that's my resolution for '07. along with stacking paper at ALL COSTS i will be not caring who's looking, and not hyperextending myself to find out if people are looking.

here's to the fires in our lives.

let's suffocate the dying embers, call the red truck on the out of control blazes and stoke the flame that keeps us warm at night.
