Today is the end of an era. I'm sitting here thinking about what today means. I have my last exam of the semester today and I still haven't registered. I can't get ahold of my advisor which is a pain in the ass. I shouldn't have procrastinated this long, but I still wish it could be easier for me to just pick a couple of classes for next fall. I have to go to the DMV today to register the car in my name. I tried to go yesterday, but when I got there it was closed. Not a fun day. Today is the last day in my parents' house. I'm excited, but I'm also kinda scared. I am imagining this summer to be wonderful, but also it could be horrible. It all depends on what I make it. No time for poems, now or probably for a long time. Maybe I'll try and use someone's computer sometime this summer, but no promises. Ok, so peace to everybody. All Power to the People!

I haven't posted any poems up lately, but here's lyrics to a song by the Velvet Underground that I've been working on covering. It's called Heroin and it's written by Lou Reed.

I don't know just where I'm going
But I'm gonna try for the kingdom, if I can
'Cause it makes me feel like I'm a man
When I put a spike into my vein
And I'll tell ya, things aren't quite the same
When I'm rushing on my run
And I feel just like Jesus' son
And I guess that I just don't know
And I guess that I just don't know

I have made the big decision
I'm gonna try to nullify my life
'Cause when the blood begins to flow
When it shoots up the dropper's neck
When I'm closing in on death
And you can't help me now, you guys
And a
You can all go take a walk
And I guess that I just don't know
And I guess that I just don't know

I wish that I was born a thousand years ago
I wish that I'd sail the darkened seas
On a great big clipper ship
Going from this land here to that
In a sailor's suit and cap
Away from the big city
Where a man can not be free
Of all of the evils of this town
And of himself, and those around
Oh, and I guess that I just don't know
Oh, and I guess that I just don't know

Heroin, be the death of me
Heroin, it's my wife and it's my life
Because a mainer to my vein
Leads to a center in my head
And then I'm better off and dead
Because when the smack begins to flow
I really don't care anymore
About all the Jim-Jim's in this town
And all the politicians makin' crazy sounds
And everybody puttin' everybody else down
And all the dead bodies piled up in mounds

'Cause when the smack begins to flow
Then I really don't care anymore
Ah, when the heroin is in my blood
And that blood is in my head
Then thank God that I'm as good as dead
Then thank your God that I'm not aware
And thank God that I just don't care
And I guess I just don't know
And I guess I just don't know
