Anonymous asked: are you going to the beatles: the lost concert" movie when it comes out next month?

Are you asking me on a date, Anon?  I accept.

A song about my paranoia, from relationships to the government.

You’re the one who wanted to go

I’m the one who ran away

A dog, his tail tucked between his legs

Cast out, shunned, I chose to run

A victim of self-manifested plague

A leper, hidden more than seven days

I ran away and was happy there

Safe and sound in my own skin

But then the paranoia took over again

Call it what you want

I’ll call it what I will

You try to control my thoughts

I act by my free will

You want inside my mind

I’m alone still

But I won’t keep this all inside

I’ll explain with my words

I won’t keep this all inside

I’ll have my voice be heard

Don’t light the match if

You can’t stand next to the flame

I’ll tell you again and again

That’s where I went wrong

I know that it’s my fault

Lost my identity

Somewhere in the frequency

Forced upon us all

You say conspiracy

And I see reality

That’s why we’ll fall

Call it what you want

I’ll call it what I will

You might think it’s all so bad

I just think it’s real

You might think it all sounds sad

It’s just the way I feel

There’s a place inside my mind

Where I can always turn

There, I will run and hide

No matter what I learn

But I won’t keep this all inside

I’ll explain with my words

I won’t keep this all inside

I’ll have my voice be heard

The worst part about having a job is the three Mormon churches I have to drive by to get there.

This is Abdi. He was one of the refugee children we spent time with last weekend.  Here he is tracing the letters of our organization’s name:  USS United (Under Somali Skies United).

Let You Down

You’re the one who wanted to go, but I’m the one who ran away; a dog, his tail tucked between his legs.  I’m sorry that I let you down. I thought my feet were on the ground.  I thought I was okay in my own skin, but the paranoia took over again. 

Call it what you want.  I’ll call it what I will.  You might think it’s all so bad, I just think it’s real.  You might think it all sounds sad, it’s just the way I feel.  There’s a place inside my mind where I can always turn.  There, I will run and hide no matter what I learn.  But I won’t keep this all inside, I’ll explain with my words.  No, I won’t keep this all inside. I’ll have my voice be heard.

Mathematical Manuscripts of Karl Marx and The Calculus Wars: Newton, Leibniz, and The Greatest Mathematical Clash Of All Time are two books I have renewed from the library three times already due to the fact that I have hardly any time to read.  I have been chipping away at them rather slowly and also reading 1984 in my spare time. 

Lullaby

Just remember that I will be here, if ever you should need a thing; and if I sing you a lullaby, all I ask is that you dream.

Phoenix Skies

Pacifico and a candle

The Rim West of Pinetop
