"Dreams"

Hold fast to dreams/ For if dreams die/ Life is a broken-winged bird/ That cannot fly.// Hold fast to dreams/ For when dreams go/ Life is a barren field/ Frozen with snow. Langston Hughes

another hour sitting on the floor,
typing madly into the computer
recording a moment in life that will be forgotten in a matter of hours
another glance at yee sitting by me,
his eyes fixed on the computer screen
another evening with mom falling asleep on the couch at 9pm
breathing slowly and evening
wandering in the dream world
another normal day
except its name is "new year's eve"
the mark of the end and the beginning of a time in history

maybe i should go read more of "Birth the Nation"...

it is a bit ironic how "peaceful" i feels...a small, tiny, insignificant human being living in a nameless town in the middle of nowhere...yet...the rest of the world is not as peaceful as i think... i feel like "the frog in the bottom of the well." i am so blind to see what's going on in the rest of the world...or even my own surroundings...

i think i am listening to Bright Eyes...emo...i think...

Happy New Year everyone...
