This week has been pretty amazing. Maybe the greatest in a while when I think about it. Exactly a week ago, our cat, Louie, was found. The next day, my dad and I took the car up to the mountains to pick him up. Was a great father-daughter-trip And Louie had been gone for 2 months (!) so I’ve been really happy to have him back

On Monday I went to the greatest show of my life! Green Day were amazing! It’s at times like that when I know for sure what I want to do with my life. All the doubts just vanish.

Today I got home from school and the house was empty so I’ve been playing guitar and piano, eating candy and just been relaxing ever since I came home. This is when one says “Doo da doo life is good!”

The trees are really stripped down now, and the streets are overflowing with yellow and orange leaves. It’s been sunny lately as well. A lot of people find autumn depressing. I must admit I find it pretty great. And if not great, then no one can’t say it isn’t beautiful! I love the smell! Okay, sorry, can’t help myself…

Anyway, now I’m listening to Band of Horses and writing about my week. Might do some painting later. I have  a blank canvas waiting for me and a lot of stuff to pour over it. Make of that what you will

Going to post some more poems soon.

For now, -M.

Fall is here. School is sucking up all my energy and my head is all over the place. I keep thinking I want to be somewhere else. I keep wishing I could be on a tour bus traveling through Europe playing shows every night. I keep dreaming about that life.

How long will that road be? Will I ever get there? I really wish I knew, but then what fun would it be? I guess the whole point is the walk, because nothing’s fun if you know how it’ll turn out.

So I sit through the long hours of science, geography and math hoping the ending will be great. I’ll just have to make the best of it.

I’ll get by with a little help from my friends.
