fck the internet
The things I find are fcking landmines
Nothing has ever made me so out of control
Hyperlinks are poison for curious minds
Tumblr’s the equivalent to smoking a bowl

Zuckerberg profits off my fatal flaw
Random information my strange addiction
Insecurity mixed with teenage awe
A fcking recipe for a deadly affliction

Wise men from the golden days
Proclaim that curiosity killed the cat
They can’t...

Thank you knife
Thank you knife
Born of fever-whisper air
For severing the heartstrings
I never even knew were there

Thank you lemons
Thank you lemons
For trickling over papercuts
Burning skin into a clean slate
Like smoldering cigarette butts

Thank you
Raw sugar
For sticking to me
A kleptomaniac con

An unmixed drink
Tea made from ashes
Of bridges we burned

You know, someday I’ll understand
But for now, the screen is your eyes
And the keyboard’s your hand
Come back to me.

Bill worse than SOPA to go before House soon. →
gardenagnostic:
“under language approved 19 to 10 by a House committee, the firm that sells you Internet access would be required to track all of your Internet activity and save it for 18 months, along with your name, the address where you live, your bank account numbers, your credit card numbers, and IP addresses you’ve been assigned.”
It’s also written by the same Orwellian fuckface who...

rant
I swear, life is so messed up. You enter the world, screaming, bleeding, pleading with desperate insistence—it’s hilarious how we interpret this release as “deliverance.” We seek shelter in dark places, because it reminds us of home—a mother’s arms, a lover’s arms, a hotel bar, sleeping alone. You, me, us three—we were all born sinners. By the time we got here, I guess that we weren’t...

jailbreak
I’ve always seen homework as a jail. Each long-winded assignment is another iron bar preventing me from living—-reading what I want to read, dancing when I want to dance, sleeping when I want to sleep, driving when I want to drive. I’m not even kidding—-every time I do homework lately my mind screams JAILBREAK, JAILBREAK! Since I’ve been studying economics so much...

ali, the writer
I’m not a story writer, really. At least not in the conventional sense. Whenever I place pen to paper, fingertip to key, with the intention of story-making, my mind’s all like:
Fck you, story arch.
Fck you, chronology.
Fck you, denouement.
Fawkes you, parliament.
Fck you, character development.
My mind’s more badass than my body.
