unhinged i love my little brother. he is everything i wish i could have been at his age. he called me today at 1pm and woke me up and i was pissed at first but we ended up talking for an hour and a half. he is so wise beyond his 15 years. he is known as the "weirdo" in his group of friends because he listens to music that no one his age likes and has his own style of doing everything that almost seems unprecedented to me at someone his age and he just doesn't care. he hates "sell-out bitches" as he puts it cause at times he gets slightly ghetto being the lacrosse playing jock that he is. he realized that no one is truly an individual years before i did. but i think maybe that he is truly an individual or as close as any human being can be to that. my little brother was the only person that was there for me when i was so depressed i could have killed myself. we will always be connected together forever in love and comedy. i didn't mind talking to my little brother for an hour and a half even though he disturbed my marathon sleep because we know each other psychicly or something "you two are the kind of people that always crash into each other...cosmic. don't worry...you will see her again." saying that right as i was thinking it. he is going to be such a smart boy. a wonderful husband and father. i love him greatly even though he pisses me off when he won't get out of my bed. 001203

Barrett Frozen in the place I hide
Not afraid to paint my sky
Some say I've lost my mind
Brother try and hope to find...

You were always so far away
Iknow that pain
so don't you run away like you used to do

Roses in a vase of white
bloodied by the thorns beside
The leaves are falling
cause my hands is
pulling them hard as I can

you were always so far away
I know that pain
I won't run away
like I used to do

Pictures in a box I hone
yellowing and green with mold
So I can barely see your face
wonder how that color tastes

you were always so far away
I know the way
so don't you run away
like you used to do

yummychuckle isaac has been really nice to me recently.
he seems okay but...
i keep thinking he's contemplating suicide.
maybe because my mind just wants another imaginary problem.
In any case I hope he doesn't die like he did in my dream last night.

elisabeth Brother, why have you always watched out for me, why have you ben so nice to e this year, why can't i let you go to collage, why did i cry for an hour after you left today, for two weeks to Europe. i guess you can say that I am just afraid to loose you. I am afraid that the plane will go down. Brother i love you know that. and i am sorry i never told you before you left. Brother how will i ever let you go for collage. how will i let that piece of me go. the piece that hold you in my heart forever. The piece that says and guy friends that i have have to be as good as you. Why. Why did you make such an impact on my life. why do i have such a big heart. 010720

florescent light you open your window blinds every morning
and close them at night
too lazy to be bothered with such obstructions,
I removed mine

you brother dear with your detail orientated
religion abiding nook and cranny mama's boy 'tude
makes me red in the face
makes the hair on my arms prickle up up till I'm impatiently waiting impatiently waiting impatiently waiting impatiently
for you to close all the blinds

Jeca we used to think we were telepathic to each other my big little brother... when you had had a bad day... AMAZING!... i had had one too. i'd say you were my best friend in the world but you hate to hear me say anything remotely mushy so i give you a good arm-punch instead. you are as mushy as the mashed potatoes that come out of the box with your new girlfriend, though. HMPH. i've been demoted. where's my boyfriend? 021119

Rhin tommy has always been my protector. many times during childhood, he took the brunt of my father's violent nature to protect me. tommy lives nowhere and everywhere...exact whereabouts known only to a select few, including me. let me put it this way, if you were my brother, the last place you would want to get caught is in southern indiana or northern kentucky. he mostly stays on the road anyway. he's a muscular, long-haired (usally braided), tattoo bearing, scar bearing harley rider. he rides with a closeknit crew of approximately 10. they live for the next adventure. there are times when he will disappear for years at a time, then just like that, he's back. i have postcards from almost every state he has ever ridden through. he never signs them however. he just covers the entire back of the card with a sketch...usually of a beautiful landscape (sometimes naked women) he has seen on his travels. he's an amazing artist. tommy has spent some of his life incarcerated. i hate saying this, but i feel comforted when he's in jail or prison, because then at least i know that he is some-what safe. he looks slightly older than his years, but he's still a good-looking guy and always has an 'ol lady' stashed somewhere. i have always supported my brother, and in fact my mother and i keep a lawyer on retainer...just in case. i don't support his illegal activities, but he's my brother. his infractions are usually minor penalties. his incarceration is usually a direct result of repeat offending or just skipping town...except when he was chased through 3 counties on his bike, by 3 state troopers, but that's another story all-together. almost every trooper in southern indiana knows him by sight. if they see him, they chase regardless of what he's doing just because they figure he's probably up to something. my brother has an enormous heart though. he and his guys have organized 'bears on bikes' (toy drive) for needy children in countless cities every christmas. :) i constantly worry about him, and he's a pain in the a*s, but i love him. 021120

pipedream i've got one sixteen year old,royal pain mass of maledom living in my house. he steals my gel, half of my music tapes are in his room, he changes the ringtone on my cell to 'Eye of the Tiger' every time he uses it and he can fake-burp like a champion, thunder-challenger.

i hate him with a passaion and i love him like mad. i can't imagine life without him and his funny stupid jokes and the hands and feet he's growing into that he flings around with gay abandon, his penchant for hugs, his infectious bubbling laughter and the way he gallops down the stairs and how him, my sister and me giggle together about private jokes noone would ever find funny but us.

siblings. can't live with 'em, can't live without them. wouldn't want it any other way.
am i falling into cliche?

pobodys nerfect I don't get along with mine. I severely dislike him. I think I say about 30 words to him a year...less if I can help it. He's a spoiled,selfish asshole,and anytime my mother is pissed off at him for some stupid thing he does,I become her verbal punching bag. A few years ago,she was on this kick to try and get me to speak to him. It was a waste of time.

One time in a drunken rage,he literally tried to strangle me. Another time,he would've beaten the crap out of me if my sister hadn't been around to pull him away. Christ,I had furniture in front of the door and he was STILL trying to get in to my bedroom to beat me up. :( The reason for his anger? I was supposed to take a message when one of his(drug)friends called and get the phone number for where they would be later on, so he could meet up with them,but they hung up quickly before I could ask for it.
He never apologised to me for either time he tried to hurt me.

Not too long ago,he was in a car accident. After I found out(but before I knew if he was okay)I felt nothing. Not even a little bit of worry. There was just nothing there to feel...like
a blank piece of paper...

me For as long as I can remember, I've always wanted an older brother. When I was little, I used to pretend that people on TV or cartoon characters were my surrogate big brothers and would hang out with me and play with me and protect me. When I got older, the desire didn't recede. If anything, it got stronger, for then I was beginning to date boys and longed for someone to give them a hard time when they came to the door, threatening their physical well being the way big brothers do on TV. Finally, a couple of years ago, I decided that the pain of wanting and not getting was no
