even flow


i took your cap off. i wanted to see your eyes. and my fingers, heavy with the drowsy, dreamlike caresses of nicotine and beer, ached to touch your face. you reached across the table, took the cap and put it on me.

you said you would change. but you didn't. you are still afraid.

but i've never wanted you to change, i said against the din of the thickening crowd and eddie veder's even flow. and you just looked away as you grabbed hold of my hand.

we were always like that. beer and nicotine and all the misery in between.

and i can only think now- maybe we kissed that night at the foyer of my hotel. maybe not.

oh you beautiful fucked up man!

Even flow, thoughts arrive like butterflies Oh, he dont know, so he chases them away, yeah... Someday yet, hell begin his life again Oh, whispering hands, gently lead, lead him away...him away, him away... Yeah! woo...ah yeah...fuck it up...

I'd take beautiful and a little fucked up over moderate and boring any day. I don't really like people who aren't fucked up. Well, it's not that I don't like them, I just find them dull.

The irony and everything in between in this is palpable.

And you can't mess with Eddie Vedder.

slim: musta? painful beauty? i guess it's tragic that day.

Ô¿Ô: that's what i told him too. maybe he was too drunk to remember or i was too drunk to even make sense.

mussolini who drives a benz now: no, he doesn't.

ennui: yeah. kwentuhan tayo!

Alright, call me fucked up, or a spade a spade... but tagalog sucks.

I can figure romance or germanic languages... but asian... no chance.

Morse code isn't allowed on the internet.

there are a lot of beatiful men now. i mean, with metrosexuality and all that shit.

he smells good even when he hasn't taken a bath yet. his skin is smoother than mine (thanks to his british-spanish-malay blood). he however, is a true-blooded rocker. drunk most of the time, crappy clothes. beach bum all his life. and yeah, girls throw themselves at him.

but yeah, i agree. there are many beautiful men out there. those men try too hard to look that way. ryan seacresty, i mean. who is really gay. or vain. or vainly gay or gayly vain.
