Birthday Bike Crash Five Pack
Last Monday was my 22nd birthday. I got off work Sunday night and had a few drinks at the bar. Somewhere around 1:00, I got on my bike to go home. I wanted to call it an early night. My friend Rivers, a winter biking champion, was with me. We were right outside my apartment, so I braked—intending to, you know, slow down and eventually stop. Unfortunately, the universe had other ideas. The wet roads got my bike tires and brakes wet, so instead of slowing down, I went flying. I smashed my face on the road, but was sure that I was fine.
Rivers, hearing the commotion, successfully stopped and ran over to make sure I was okay. I was all, “Dude, I’m fine, just a scratch.”
And he was like, “Nope. We’ve got to get you to a hospital.”
I didn’t believe him, but when we got inside and I got a good look in the mirror, I realized that he was maybe on to something with this whole ‘hospital’ idea. I had a massive gash right above my eye. We eventually found a way to get me to the ER, and I got six stitches on my face.
When I got home, I realized that only one of the six beers in my bag had broken. I consider this a great success.
It was the best birthday ever.

It’s dark.
You exhale a fist of memory.
I love you like weathering wood
in a room of empty pianos.
When you return to something you love,
it’s already beyond repair.
You wear it broken.

Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind. “Pooh?” he whispered.
“Yes, Piglet?”
“Nothing,” said Piglet, taking Pooh’s hand. “I just wanted to be sure of you.

My friends ethan and adam used to play this song for me on the deck at my mom’s house. It’s one of my favorite memories of springtime. I miss them. There’s a video of them somewhere doing this song, and it’s amazing. I will find and tumbl it. I promise.

Copenhagen, Denmark
I am so upset that work ruined my plans to spend Christmas in Denmark. It is such a special time of year there.

This is actually really good, yeah.
It is 5:30 in the morning, and I’m totally exhausted, and I can’t fall asleep, and I have to be at family christmas in less than 12 hours, but I am so happy to be home and full of ill-begotten cornish hen.
I also scared the living daylights out of my mom when I got here at some obscene hour of the night and woke her up. That felt good.
Also, her dog has such a small head compared to Jacks.
