Agenda Book 5

Headache

I've been neglecting my blog. I feel bad.

I accidentally threw out the original poem in a school-is-out-must-throw-all-notes-away frenzy. So here we have my remake, inspired by my Health teacher talking about conflicting drugs in the body. The words were rumbling around in my head for hours.

There’s a civil war brewing inside my brain

Like fiery tongues licking at my temples

Conflicting, convulsing, consuming, contracting

Charge! Fight! Retreat! Retreat!

There’s a civil war raging inside my skull

I’ll take this pill to stop the battle

Put up your white flags

If only for a little while

If I Was a Photographer, I'd Do Something like This

I've recently come across Iris Humm's Photography Blog and I'm obsessed. Her work reminds me of edgy disposable camera photos. Check out her blog.

She's also doing a project with Luca Campri called Revolution Starts at Home. Really cool stuff.

I should be sleeping

But I can't. I'm on my summer sleeping schedual and there's no way I will fall asleep until probably three. The problem is I have to get up at 6:30 for the beach. Well, since i'm up i've been listening to Tracy Chapman and clicking around the web. I found Jennifer Tzar's Photography websight and it's amazing. Edgy and provocative and grimy. Check it out.

The Beach

I am going to the beach tomorrow and I am super excited! To share my excitement, I’m posting a couple links to some very talented photographers that I feel capture the essence of summertime perfectly. Enjoy.

Goose Jerky

"Your generation has such a hard time understanding because you're so into technology. But people didn't just drive to the beach, call their friends on their cell phones, surf, and drive away. We lived on the beach and lived with the beach." -Carol Schuldt, 75
