“sorry i missed your message…
..cant wait to see you…
..we will...”
– John Michael and his accidental lyricism
that surely isn’t worded right. which i think might prove exactly what i am trying to say all together.
holy hell, did anybody else forget how unbelievable August and Everything After is?
“Round Here,” is about as dead on as you can get for me right now.
Life stagnates; we have histories and memories and pasts to connect us to one another, and sometimes we confuse “impulse” by consciously creating stories for our arsenals or for excitement… but something humbling...
ay, yo Coattails
hangovers are silly. did you get Obama or just drunk? i am working on about a 36% brain today, myself. Genuwine is doing the trick right now though, so look into that (get real, “differences” and “so anxious”?!). he must have caught a nasty STD or something because he was an amazing dancer, a purty good singer, and he was gorgeous, yet nowhere to be found. go buy gatorade...

and im excited for this http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/news/148602-meet-dead-mans-bones-ryan-gosling-and-zach-shields … it’s innovative and ryan gosling is the man, i suggest renting a slew of the independent films he has done.. yeah man, Noah is weird… I kinda love weird people, if you haven’t caught onto that.
once again, it seems that i am not using this for creativity anymore… so unless i start being dedicated to that, i promise to stop.
55th and Broadway, Upper East and Dreaming.
so i never listen to the radio (and if i do it is solely for bass thumpin, ya mean?! ew..) but this morning i got out of the shower and turned on my tv and heard that taylor swift song, “love story”… that shit is dope… really dope… I wish a big country or pop male vocal would have came out of nowhere at the end though when she sings the “he said,...
go fizig, im having a bummer kind of day… however, and shame it came this late, i threw on an accidental DRA song which sings a multitude of lines that certainly didn’t remedy my disposition, but put massaging fingertips to my temples at least…
These angry people who are waiting to judge you Have their own judgment that they’ll have live up to Open your mouth And if...
Much is the mouth.
that was mean…below is the back of the book p.s., which reads, “Despite pacific beliefs, only infliction promised her peace…”
“I want to take you far
from the cynics in this town
and kiss you on the mouth.”
p.s. - The PS : )
44th and Hope.
Pharoh’s army got drowned, O Mary, don’t you weep.
kissing beneath cupolas.
p.s. how miserable does that restaurant seem below? haha, the wooden columns, plastic cups, etc. Oh, Lake Anna, you classy masterpiece.
wored at bork.
throw your hands / throw your hands
all-ov-er-me / al’overme
come on out / wash me down
head to toe / head to toe
i could cry / don’t ask me why
i been waitin long / waitin long
in your eyes / i’ll tell no lies
you are Lord’alone / Lord a-lone
Do you wanna hit the town?
Do you want to come over, see my house?
I’ll show you all around
See what’s...
impunity.
Undeniable things about intimacy; the flexing bicep holding a shutting door, a late night tip-toe through a hollow hall to the room where you climb in bed instead of shedding clothes, nervous of a pocket-change alarm clock. You mimick her shape and gently press your forehead to the back a lover’s hair, slowly releasing an exhale through your nostrils. A hand to the hip, the heat of your...
i just read down this thing and i haven’t written/typed anything of value in awhile, huh? and that is jsut unaccepatable because i dont want to just babble, i dont want to keep to my infamous initial thoughts and abandon them, and i certainly have sticky notes, napkins, business cards, and envelopes with ideas on them, and theyre strewn across my apartment as we speak. i’m on this...
tell me your a politick.
DC is utterly closed down from Friday through Tuesday, how bananasly (yes) awesome is that? Well, awesome of course unless you’re a Virginian. Virginia, a major swing state and typically conservative, applauded Barack with X amount of electoral votes and I imagine they are now p’d. All bridges heading into downtown will be closed Friday afternoon. The only way to get downtown will be...
Shoulder shrug sleepers
be-ing.
uh-oh, oh, uh-oh, oh, uh-oh, oh. oh.
The Kaliedescope My Mind Uses to See You.
A warm and a sutured Hallelujah.
And if God is watching, the devil is waiting.
Does anyone else find Nashville’s “English Only” referendum to be the most closed-minded, ignorant piece of legislation ever? I feel like it’s a joke someone made that some media mouth accidentally took seriously… And though I love it (the region), I think this more less exemplifies what is wrong with the Durty… Guess what Dixie?! The WORLD has homosexuals,...
i hope at the next wedding i am at that i dance to “yer so bad” by tom petty.
Best Thing I Ever Had.
my dad just wrote me one of those awesome dad emails that are complete with terrible and inaccurate grammar, silly mispelled words and heavy with encouragement and optimism… he’s persistent too, as the first two a.m. emails were met with my exasperation, not allowing myself to divulge into a full response until after lunch.. i’m in a rut today, full of silly guilt, which...
dropping bread crumbs at every corner that i comes across.
Bricked buildings soaked with rain.
Bought a pack of marblo standards
packed frustration with my hand
that was back when i was younger
right before i fell apart
Smoking something just to remind
myself of how you smelled
my tongue all dried and heavy
heading home before it’s dark
The wind still stings in winter
downtown aves make it worse
and i’ll still wonder what you’re doin,
if you made it back to...
Cortes, Cortes
Lykke. D.C. 1/31/09. Happy Birthday Me.
The Sixth & I Historic Synagogue was built by Adas Israel Congregation, which occupied it from 1908-1951. It was the second of Adas’ three sanctuaries. Designed by Baltimore architect Louis Levi and built by local builder Arthur Cowsill, it was one of the first buildings in the District of Columbia to substitute reinforced concrete columns and poured-in-place concrete floors for traditional...
youth’s Friday dance
head downtown
like an avalanche.
and youuuuuuu
So I believe in God and draw strength from It and turn to It in distress and give It praise etc., but a really simple and affective reasoning behind being agnostic comes from a Knife lyric that I have been recalling as of late…
To call for hands of above to lean on Wouldn’t be good enough for me, no.
If you’re in my life, I love you.
I pray that you’re an ashen light when you’re away.
Heartbreak, I am a dancer!

In support of the US release of Sea Sew on January 20, Lisa will be playing 19 dates across the US and Canada and LisaHannigan.ie is having a members-only ticket presale. (If you’re not yet a member,...
