 Meg:  no

but

 me:  hahah yepyep...oh welllll
 Meg:  you know what's hidden in there
all your hopes and dreams
they feel trapped
beneath the surface
and if you overthink them
disaster & scarring strikes
just let them be
naturally
& waaaaaLAhhhh
magic
 me:  its true..they will find their way eventually
 Meg:  they will
: )
 me:  haha
 Meg:  all it takes is a little daydreaming and night swimming
me:  thanks meg for making a pimple seem so magical
 Meg:  hahahaahahaha
that is
amazing
 me:  daydreaming and night swimming....you left out the afternoon
afternoon _________ing
 Meg:  floating
life is but a lazy river
 me:  dream, float, swim
i like it
 Meg:  the hard part is remembering that we are the current
not the tube
 me:  woah!
did you just come up with that???
enlightening!
 Meg:  yea dude
haha
 me:  that was great
 Meg:  it's this green book
 me:  i think you're right
 Meg:  if we all had green books
me:  it so badly wants you to fill its pages with wonderful thoughts
 Meg:  the world would be itself
 me:  i like that
im going to get a green book tomorrow
i think i need one
and i think im going to get jen one for graduation
but
 Meg:  beautiful

 me:  do you think green brings creativity out of everyone
perhaps some people are more enlightened by yellow
or orange
 Meg:  i think green brings out the creative in the creative
 me:  ahhhh

 Meg:  where as purple with yellow spots is Bound to make an casual normal fruit turn their melon
 me:  haha!
 Meg:  the gift of noticing the usual
is the greatest gift of all
it's what children have
that simplistic
eye
 me:  wow meg...you're so right
 Meg:  to notice as shoe lace
 me:  they can see the beauty in anything
even a plain green notebook
 Meg:  or a dented car
exactly
it's all about the green notebook
just like it's all about the t-shirt
it says
IT ALL
and it doesn't even have to try very hard
 me:  hahah
its true
 Meg:  do you know how much there is to think about
and something like twitter lets the world release it
their thoughts dreams comments reactions
it's amazing
perhaps the world will become a better place and that little blue bird will be our therapist
me:  there is so much...but i think i just learned this minute..that...in order to get the most out of life, you need to be careful of what you think about...because you can get lost in a trap of thinking about things that really mess you up, or you could get swept away into an oasis of candy coated thoughts
i do love twitter
some people dont get it
but i think its wonderful

 Meg:  your thoughts could be your closest enemy
how about that?
wild
 me:  crazy
 Meg:  closest enemy and your deepest love
 me:  an addiction, even
Meg:  exactly!
my thoughts are my addiction and horizon is the cure
 me:  this little green book is really doing wonders
its uncovering a creativity that has been hibernating
 Sent at 10:47 PM on Wednesday
 Meg:  it is
sometimes all  it takes is one little green book

i erase the magic
i erase the mark
in the daylight
it all seems so dark


wine for you
and wine for me
if you put us together
plus one equals three
if tomorrow is tomorrow 
and today is off and gone
will the sun set on my dreams
will the record end my song



i have nothing.
if you eat a lot of chocolate
and you dream a lot of dreams
you can close your eyes real slowly
and your life becomes a scheme

magic carpet

there's something exhilarating
about what strangers may see
floating in your mind
when you're thinking of me

your chromosomes may hate it
but they will see in time
that when everything comes together
you're the only star that shines


jetplane

send it out to space
shoot it through the net
observe your reflections
in the mirrors by the jet

the jet is the engine
that's placed within your mind
strangers often look
but there's nothing they can find
if the grass weren't green
and the clouds weren't white
i would stay up all night
searching for some environmental insight

but it seems god chose green
for the grass that grows
and he has a plan that no one knows
hmm
i have this friend
he's tall and thin
if he were a fish
he'd have an extra long fin.

i bite my nails so my mind prevails
(i am meg's stenographer...i think that's the word)
and i also bite my zipper because it tastes really good

sand between my toes
i build sandcastles
shiny red buckets on the coast
there are no hassles

(i was really thinking awkward tassles)

when i feel awkward i talk like a russian

ok so that wasn't really our favorite things...

why does it always seem that the name phil is taken by over acheiving, high-pants wearing, belt fitting, shiny headed mongrols?  no we don't know how to spell mongrols- don't discriminate.  

our favorite things

shake your hair
change your voice
rhyme all the time
and kill your dog
