Belated happy birthday to one of my favorite people. Happy birthday Joy. 🩷

Slaves to airwaves

lost and boxed

sun and rain

wind and sand

be free.

Nostalgic Much Mike

Good morning everyone. Although I quite enjoy them and I'm always grateful, I typically don't reply to the kind comments my friends occasionally add to a post of mine. I had to make an exception on my recent photo post: NO MIKE NO! 😄 Why you ask? I'll be very happy to answer that. First of all you can blame Kevin for starting it, and then counting him, several of my dearest long time friends stopped by. I won't mention them all here, but you can check the comments on that post or the tags below if you want to check them out. I promise you won't regret your decision. I believe a couple of them may have even started on Tumblr before me, and that was quite a while back. Lastly, I have a special (at least to me) way of closing these good morning posts. So what say you, Shall we go for the big finish? Okay, here goes. If no one's told you yet today, let me be the first to say... I love you, Mike 🩷 P.S. I kind of forgot the nostalgic part, but that's enough for now.

It's my 12 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

And everything changed the day I started posting on here. I have made many, lifelong friends that I’m eternally grateful for.

There are people on here that have made this life thing a little easier just by existing and creating strung together words and art that I am in constant awe of.

I’m just going to name a few that immediately come to mind but please know that I appreciate every interaction anyone has ever had with me and my words.

@griefxaddict

@nightinmyveins

@delgrosso

@tap-tap-tap-im-in

@ryanlowrie

@undertheguiiseofwoe

@madworlddiary

@robertjw4688

@fakesurprise

@writteninjoy2

@aubriestar

@lebuc

@infamouslyroggylives

@jayarrarr

And Beth (I can’t find your @ right now but you know which Beth I refer to).

There are people whose names should be on this list that are no longer in this world but still live on by what they created, Lauren and Michael.

Thank you all for the inspiration over the years.

Loads of love

I was tagged by my buddy @the-original-b . I've been well away, so I apologize for not getting to these sooner.

1. A song I would like played at my funeral:

2. A book I enjoy reading:

Watership Down (here's the 1978 movie!)

3. Last movie I watched for fun:

4. An old movie I enjoy rewatching:

How old?

5. A song I enjoy but doesn't fit my aesthetic:

Not sure what's an aesthetic when it comes to music (or anything in general) but...

tagging @writteninjoy2 @justme62 @loveherallican-blog anyone else (sorry! Been away so long I don't know who would participate!)

I’m drawn to places I’ve never been,

And can feel the longing for them on my skin,

The ghosts of their sites behind my eyes,

Each one’s air caught deep in my throat.

Everyday I’m reminded of how I must go

Where my feet haven’t traveled,

But to the places my heart surely knows.

S.a

Tumblr writing and poetry community... where is Joy?

[writteninjoy2]

all I cherish

is in a garden facing eastward

the rising sunlight

between branches

of white pear blossoms

falling softly

on morning's dew

This is the official BACK UP YOUR WRITING REMINDER!

Get removable media, back up, wrap in a faraday cage (two layers aluminum foil, ends rolled tight!)

Unless of course you use a pen and paper, or typewriter... 😁

I want to cry

for all my lives

I've missed to dive

beneath my

kisses not tried

moments unsmiled

tonight

The Queen of Hearts

Mike Likes 499,999

Hi everyone and as we've all been a little nostalgic lately, I'm remembering my battles with the queen of hearts. I always thought I was the superstar of awarding likes, but inevitably Joy would defeat me without mercy every single time! So now in the category of hope springs eternal, what you got for me Joy? Oh, and yes I should have given away one more like first. 😎 Love to my dear friend Joy and love to all, Mike, 🩷 P.S. And thank you as well to Bob for getting me over 500,000 likes. LOL half a million is absurd but Tumblr even sent me congratulations, still all things considered I'd rather have cash. 🤣

noun: harakiri

ritual suicide by disembowelment with a sword, formerly practised in Japan by samurai as an honourable alternative to disgrace or execution.

My own thoughts these days feel like a disgrace to me, my emotions are sharp enough to lead me to my ultimate demise... What do I need a sword for?

goodbye.

I don't know how

The world expects

To keep spinning

Without you

In my life.

You were there

To wrap me up

And sing me to sleep

And by my side

Within arm's reach

When I woke up.

You've been there

To help me along

Through the hardest

Tragedies

And to celebrate

Every pleasantry.

You've always been there.

You were there for me

When my dad had his stroke

And I couldn't make it

To the hospital.

You sat with me

For six hours

Coaxing me through

My snot bubbles and sobs.

You've always been there

Through every break-up

And every job offer

Through every death

You've been in my life.

Without you

I have no identity

And no inkling

At who I might be.

You've guided my path

And shown me

How to trudge through

The ugliness

Of the world.

What would I do

Without you?

What are you listening to these days?

1. My Cadillac- Michael Juan Nunez

2. Crazy Ex-Girlfriend - Melissa Lambert

3. Homegrown - Erica Falls

4. My Indian Red - Dr. John

5. Angel - Sarah McLachlan

6. Repent - SHeDaisy

7. Some Days You Gotta Dance - Dixie Chicks

8. 枯荣 (Fu1wing4 [Cantonese] / Kūróng [Mandarin] ~~= “Ups & Downs”) - Sandy Lam

9. Aganjú - Bebel Gilberto

10. Bad Girls - Donna Summer (‘cause it’s s/Summer in the northern hemisphere)

BONUS TRACK: Dance Fantasy Inspired by Close Encounters of the Third Kind - Montana

And there were MANY alternates and runners up!

I've died twice

I've floated in the void, darkness surrounding

I've felt the cold grip of death

I've held hands with the Reaper

Now I sit here before you

Holding hands with the Sun, the Earth, and my Shadow

Life can go from hell to heaven faster than one thinks

I sit here having known the bliss of Heaven

And the tortures of Hell.

Now i fly just between.

devastation

he stopped showering he could careless about his appearance, he frequently traced his veins with a razor blade, he wasn't sane yet he used a fake smile to avoid questions about his pain. no one ever noticed he was slowly dying his soul constantly crying wailing in agony always battling the voices in his head, what could he do with a brain full of sins heart full of hatred drugs sex and Satan will forever control him, he will never experience happiness because in his eyes god was the enemy god stole everyone he ever loved therefore he will stay a slave locked away forever trapped inside a cycle of emptiness,loneliness and ego...
