Trying to decide my top 15 Tom Waits song is a lot more difficult that I thought it would be.
My top 15 keeps changing.

While I was in Portland this past weekend, my friend who I was staying with was on google maps and asked me where in India were my parents use to live. After a while we were google mapping every place I've ever lived at and she noticed something that never occurred to me...she noticed how I've always lived in coastal states near the ocean. Brief stay in India, couple places in Delaware, up and down California; along touching an ocean, the furthest away from Ocean I've been is a hour long bus ride.

If you look close enough, you can spot the Shark Tank.

Portland State University.

I'm not sure why I never realized this before and I wonder if growing up in coastal regions might be one of the reasons why I love the ocean so much.

I love Shinobu.



I miss Shinobu.




I'll build a castle and I'll make it out of plans:

I plan on dropping the lame analogies and quoting my favorite bands.

And in a wry aside I sigh about how unhappy I am that you couldn't trust me (and I don't really like myself that much either).

I'm not asking for the world, but, hell, it would be nice to think that I have power over something. Anything, really!!!!

[I am alive and I'm not sure I like it, but I'm sure that I'd miss it, and I'm sure that I've expressed this in less annoying terms before. Oh oh! I'm like a speck of sand on the beach. Oh my god, that is so deep! I am sooo deep!]
