Brush your teeth every day, every week.
Breath in deep, reap the rewards of living clean.
Go to sleep, keep the streak of routine.
Brew tea, let it steep.
Tune out feedback frequency
Why can't I find pleasure in the simple chores of living, why do all forms flee?
The magic of a little weed to give me temporarily the gift of interest.
I'd like to not have to force myself to focus on the things that I don't care about, and in the moments when I'm free to do what I like I'd like to like anything at all.

The Country

What's one more week of mediocrity in the scheme of the months and a year this country has taken from me to date. I can't imagine another place, and I can't imagine that it will ever change in a good way. I wish that I could take all the family I ever make with me, I would leave for the country... whatever that means to me today. I could get on a plane, I have the means to be far away for a while at least.
I know I won't bear the brunt of that pain. I will sustain in the face of a great massive suffering. So how is it fair for me to go having eaten my fill while blood is still owed?
I will tiptoe wherever I go
I know I am going to whisper outside of my home
If I am missing the piece that believes I belong then I can't blame any place for making me anxious and lonesome

To walk to work, to wish, to want to feel like I am physically fit, I am remiss to return to where I sit and ride and writhe and rage. I will not relinquish another hour of the day.
The myth of manufactured satisfaction in a task accomplished is calling, it says that there is meaning and fulfillment in using up your body by the evening -- but I know there is a median between the pain of cold and never knowing the season.

"Opportunity"

I got promoted again as a last ditch captain to go down with the ship, and it didn't feel good in the slightest bit.
Maybe I should have remained in stasis but I kind of had to take it.
I just want to exist where the effort I can give doesn't feel like all or worthless.

Woehrwolf Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Woehrwolf is for if you want to here about my personal issues.
Woehrwolf recommends:
Lighthearted, but it digs in deep. An ear worm and a melancholic epiphany of nostalgia by the end.
go to album
A super powered 6 piece with some heavy harmonies and a lead voice like an ogre-wizard.
go to album
A word or phrase that bounces around your skull for days and you hear it the 5th time and something profoundly clicks, wrapped in a high energy 9 piece band.

Lila Tristram’s ASMR-like approach to singing gets a worthy match in the lush and luxurious arrangements of The Last Dinosaur.
