Remember this post? Well I’m finally going camping! It’s a little different, as I’m going with two friends, but I’m excited! New campground, old friends, good food, a pond - can’t beat it!
“
it’s a heartbreak even situation
nothing lost and nothing gained
so i’m 10 years old again
standing in the backyard waving at a train
i feel you make love to me slightly
every time you let a little laugh slip too soon
and the moment passes over us so lightly
it feels like sand blowing over a dune
you try not to let your emotions show
but it ain’t a balloon you can just let go
it’s an ice cream cone dripping in the sun
sticky hands
sticky arms
sticky situation
it’s a heartbreak even situation
one part powerful elation
one part pitiful and frail
and i’m trying to feel my way around
a book of promises written in braille
there is pressure from within this
and pressure from above
there is pressure on our tenuous, strenuous love
and there’s wet wool blankets one, two, three
laid onto my chest
‘til i just can’t breathe
and i try not to let my emotions show
but it ain’t a balloon i can just let go
it’s an ice cream cone dripping in the sun
sticky hands
sticky arms
sticky situation
“but then what kind of scale compares the weight of two beauties, the gravity of duties, or the ground speed of joy?
tell me: what kind of gauge can quantify elation?”

SO COOL.
“For the first eight years of our marriage, [Michelle and I] were paying more in student loans than what we were paying for our mortgage. So we know what this is about.
And we were lucky to land good jobs with a steady income. But we only finished paying off our student loans—check this out, all right, I’m the President of the United States—we only finished paying off our student loans about eight years ago.”
