today at the drive in

in the role of king leonidas and his soldiers… ob
in the role of the persian army… the mountain of work before me
and my desk is doubling as the pass at thermopylae

still, i am a very very fated man living in dual time zones
a natural insmoniac’s (semi)ideal existence

if you have ever thought well of me, come by the nuyo tonight for synonymUS
if you dont like me, come through and boo me at the nuyo tonight
talk about a win-win situation!

song in my head: Simply Red’s “Stars”

I wanna fall from the stars
Straight into your arms
I, I feel you
I hope you comprehend
