halloween

the costume is official.

"the sea seems to yell to me GO TO YOUR DESIRE DONT HANG AROUND HERE--for after all the sea must be like god, god isnt asking us to mope and suffer and sit by the sea in the cold at midnight for the sake of writing down useless sounds, he gave us the tools of self reliance after all to make it straight thru bad life mortality towards paradise maybe i hope--but some miserables like me dont even know it, when it comes to us we're amazed--ah,life is a gate, a way, a path to paradise anyway, why not live for fun and joy and love or some sort of girl by a fireside, why not go to your desire and laugh...but i ran away from that seashore and never came back again without that secret knowledge: that it didnt want me there, that i was a fool to sit there in the first place, the sea has its waves, the man has his fireside, period." big sur.

katie keeps posting these old pics and i just dont feel as cool as i used to be.
we were lovely librarians.



i had a dream last night that kevin franklin, anthony bourdain and i were floating down some river in some country and came across a little shack with a very large native living inside. we sat and talked with him about "tailspin" and asked the best route to india. the big man was selling very expensive hair products out of that little shack on the river. that was a very good dream.

new couple alert.

the paparazzi were all over us sunday afternoon.









but i mean thats just how we roll.

the past few weeks have blown my mind. and i mean that in the best possible way that doesnt include dancing with chris brown on a revolving dance floor in a gum commercial. mmmmm...

who is a happy girl?
kimberly marie di leone.

watch this.join in the joy!

There will come a night when the whole world falls asleep
at the same exact moment
and no one will be guarding the banks
or supermarkets
or jewelry shops
and that is a great time
to sneak into the movies
if you know how to run a projector.

thank you

in happy news im going to the mountains next month to camp and live like kerouac.
im going back to europe for sure at the end of january. definitely back to italy. definitely going to get my paris on. julia turned me on to the idea of paris.
the hobo lovin gypsy dreamin kim jong is back in action. fuck the haters.

i think its funny when you actually take the time to delete people from your myspace/facebook. im guilty of the action that is giving my tummy the funny feeling myself but really? people take the time to do all kinds of things. people take the time to breakup relationships when they could be at home watching gossip girl. people take the time to watch gossip girl. and i love gossip girl.
last night i danced alone. i danced everywhere.
i surprise myself.
booze is my tuition to clown college

i got home last night and found a message from derrick brown in my inbox. it wasn't a comment and it didn't just say "thanks for the add!" and it wasn't a response to me sending him a message...it was a thought out personal message! anyway, my little heart swooned and i had no clue what to do. i responded with, "always and forever. give me that blood!" i sure do hope that was good enough.

i woke up this morning late for work. i haven't been sleeping well at home but have been having the most beautiful sleep in the middle of the mall. i've gotten really good at falling asleep in strange and uncomfortable places which is really making me feel like i could have mono. probably not. i'd make a good hobo. i wake up on a couch in the center of the mall being circled by mall walkers. you don't know how badly i want them to let me in their circle. it is a really crazy feeling and after that siesta i then have to stumble all sleepy like down to rudy and kelly for 8 hours of who knows what. good day sunshine.
i'm learning how to throw a good punch.
because you never know.
man, people love the internet. people love updating blogs on the internet.
i mean, we love it!

who i've been seeing

i spent my weekend at tommy's lake house with good friends.
i felt like i was on endor.
the whole weekend was very return of the jedi
complete with me driving my very own speeder bike.
i got plenty of rest, plenty of vitamin d, and cleared my head.
i want to do the same thing next weekend.

getting down with derrick brown

yes.

caving lights and my lady.

rachel inspired me to get all lifetouch-esque

here comes the sun

now im not too crazy about the fur (really..his daddy was a strict vegetarian till the day he died) but i love love these photos of dhani harrison.






maybe its the stache but i want him.

i need to get out of town for a while. i really didn't think i'd ever go back down the "i've gotta get out of town" road again or at least not now but i need to.
i've been hanging out with some amazing kids lately who have really helped distract me from the madness that is happening a hundred miles away but it isn't good enough. i feel like i really gotta go. i need to clear my head and find new things to put in my head. i am so close to just booking an a)bus ticket to the south or b)plane ticket to the east. i'm fed up with lies. i'm fed up with the fact that i was a hundred percent certain on all my feelings and i got completely stabbed in the face. i'm getting trouble at work because i can't seem to go anymore but i don't want to stay in my room and i don't want to go out to bars and drink it away. i want to take the last bit of savings i have and hit the road with my mantra that lara so lovingly gave to me a long time ago: i'm better than most and i've got it going on. so suck on that freshman, bitches. what goes around comes around..and I would know.

throw backs

random photos. just because this hurricane is a SNORE-icane.

my father.
the glory days.



kim jong.
the sweater vest days...



the short hair days.

before i forget

tonight i was stumbling home drunk from a bar. on the way home (okay, looking back it probably really wasnt a good idea to walk home seeing as it was on battlefield!) a man stopped me on the side of the road and offered me a lift. i told him that wouldnt be necessary but thank you very much. then he told me that i had really good hair. i said thanks again for the ride and he said once again that i had really nice hair.
made me smile in my drunkeness.
im getting the hell out of town
meanin getting the hell of of the election
meanin you should know what that means
ooooh yessaaaahhh!!!!!

kim jong is

moving on.

hittin home

found this courtesy of melanie via joie's myspace page...im no creep really


but really
whyyyy?!?!
seems the world is upside down once again.
i thought id be done with that game.

in happier news im getting further and further into "the dharma bums". i finally (after english professor chris robinson told me it was up my alley) started to read it. i love it. i mean, i sort of want to be buddhist.

the gustav aftermath

i cant stop thinking about the man i met on the bus to richmond two weeks ago named lewis. he was traveling to lousiana so be with his family that he only gets to see once a year a while. he told me so many stories about traveling around the country on the bus and traveling outside the country for navy work. he told me about living in maine for a job once and how all the people would only call him "black man". he wanted me to go down to new orleans. he was a real interesting guy. i hope him and has family are all alright.

i dont know how i feel about the upcoming "new york, i love you". of course i'm excited to see it but...i've got some funny feelings.

but until then this never gets old:

"brick" is one of my favorite movies. watch it if you've never seen it.

gossip girl is on tonight. aint no shame.
