Bigmouth strikes again

Hit me with your best shot   smack this bitch up   I like everything except the things I don't. Tumblr is the toilet in which my word vomit spews into. I'm quite lovely sometimes too.

“I imagine a person’s life is like a beautifully decorated balloon, tethered by a 
cord to the earth.  It is buffeted by every breeze and strains at the restraint with 
sometimes-harsh movements.  Suddenly, a moment comes when the cord is 
released and the balloon lifts!  No longer fighting the wind: it is lifted high upon it, 
graceful and dancing with heavenly movements.  From an earthly point of view it 
becomes smaller and smaller until it fades from sight.  I fell my loss until I 
remember that the balloon itself is not becoming smaller as it lifts, but larger and 
larger until at some point it bursts the last vestige of its earthly life and merges 
with the highest atmosphere.  The essence of that balloon, what made it a 
balloon, becomes totally free and part of the air that touches my face, the power 
that moves the clouds, even my very breath.”

"Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn’s rain.
When you awake in the morning’s hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of birds in circled flight.
I am the soft star that shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there. I did not die"
~ Mary Elizabeth Frye (1905-2004)

#I’m Looking Forward to Joining You Finally.  #NIN  #nine inch nails  #trent reznor  #to dan 
When the hands reads 7:30 and your night begins to sink in the short but faster fall
In the anxious but calm retort to mirror that frames your face baring the
finest swell
When the day begins to break like the tears that run across your cheek, stand straight and imagine you then 
In the things and the way they could have been when the thoughts they race across your chin here in the neverend

When the hands reads 7:30 and your night begins to sink in the short but faster fall

In the anxious but calm retort to mirror that frames your face baring the

finest swell

When the day begins to break like the tears that run across your cheek, stand straight and imagine you then 

In the things and the way they could have been when the thoughts they race across your chin here in the neverend
