A big thank-you to Mumford & Sons for writing “Little Lion Man”, which I can pretend is an apology written just for me.

From "Sonnet for the End of a Sequence"
For now I am my own again, my friend! This scar but points the whiteness of my breast; This frenzy, like its betters, spins an end, And now I am my own. And that is best. Therefore, I am immeasurably grateful To you, for proving shallow, false, and hateful.

Fifteen Wishes
Be the singer in a kick-ass punk band where my rendition of “Bad Reputation” continually brings the house down.
Sleep in a yurt in Mongolia.
Have a tattoo that changes with my mood/outfit (hey, it’s a wish, it doesn’t have to be actually do-able).
Take a road trip to the middle of nowhere.
Fly.
Wake up surrounded by bunches of wildflowers.
Have a drink at the...
