two days tired.

stayed up 'til 4am 

packing
and wondering why the sleepytime tea bear can sleep 
but i drink the tea and i scamper around a house full of boxes.

...i told you to be balanced.

i'm pretty sure that midnight motorcycle rides are important in the maintenance of youth.

my hair is all tangles
and my nerves are all undone.
perfect.

a comprehensive trail map

i swear, 

all i do is wander aimlessly for hours without even leaving my body.

kelly

you are the cosmos.

go from this.


from here,
the sun wakes warm and golden
and sets your hair aflame.

from here, 
a triangle of light on your thigh,
half covered.

from here, 
summer can be over,
i have this morning.


(lots of new audio posted)

stomping

another day of waking to water,

of listening to beautiful music and stepping in puddles,
my socks swelling like a phonebook left in the rain.

i have fireplace anxiety.
(i can't wait to sit in front of it with a mug of coffee and a book)

stopped to smoke on a bridge, 
my yellow umbrella hooked on a tree
and noticed how much i love the way raindrops cling
to leaves
and how much i love all of it, anyway.

reclaiming

saying old news to keep things neutral, 


"for literary activities and the passage of life's evening." --Thomas Mann's permit to take refuge in Switzerland. 

lying in bed while the rain drips
                                           down.
feeling excitement
so intense
that my feet jump beneath the covers
to be in puddles in soppy sandals.

where did all this come from, why aren't you out in it,
the rain is cold, not like the coast, this isn't the coast.
you're in the mountains, child, 
soon you will be scraping frost from windows
and cracking thin layers of ice like creme brulee. 

"random" describes a limit of perception,
the paper birches undress,
the year is passing,
my eyes are twinkling for the weather.


now, dance.

i am signing the lease on the house that i so very much wanted. and i got to hang out around the creek with a friend today. (i have this song in my head on repeat)

Wedding Bells on Vox! (Plus, a few new themes.)

CONGRATULATIONS PAPI CHULO & SECRET AGENT SCOTCH!
The Happy Couple

"When was the last time you were at a wedding that had a death defying hike, rogue waves, a luau, ultimate fighting, a presidential candidate and a budding bromance?" asks Papi Chulo. For most of us, the answer is never, but luckily, Papi Chulo and Secret Agent Scotch took the time to Vox all the amazing moments during their unforgettable Hawaiian wedding on 08.08.08 so we could all take part in the festivities.

The story began last February, when Papi Chulo popped the question and  Secret Agent Scotch said yes! Since then, they've kept us in the loop about all the details, from the bride's veil to the wedding song to the final To-Do List. And throughout it all, they inspired us with their love for each other. (I'm pretty sure it doesn't get any better than knowing your future husband thinks you are The Perfect Girl.)

It's an amazing love story and we are thrilled they shared it with us. Watch the video of the ceremony and please join us in wishing Papi Chulo and Secret Agent Scotch the fairytale ending they deserve.

And What's a Team Vox Post without New Themes?

Spice up your Vox blog with one of our latest themes (found in the design area under "New") or any of our hundreds of themes. From shopping to sushi, comics to cycling, there's something for everyone.

Can't get enough of the wedding? A few lucky Voxers - Krissy, djchall, and Beau Smith - made the trip to Hawaii to take part in the celebration. Check out their Vox blogs for more pictures and stories.

Congratulations again to Secret Agent Scotch and Papi Chulo! Enjoy the Honeymoon!
