Dad comes on June 11th, graduation June 14th and SO MUCH TO DO UNTIL THESE THINGS HAPPEN.

I HOPE I CAN STAY AWAKE FOR THIS MOMENTOUS OCCASION.

Last night I got to hang out with this man at a bar, and then he came to my apartment and ate one of my cupcakes. YAY.

A Primer
by Bob Hicok

I remember Michigan fondly as the place I go
to be in Michigan. The right hand of America
waving from maps or the left
pressing into clay a mold to take home
from kindergarten to Mother. I lived in Michigan
forty-three years. The state bird
is a chained factory gate. The state flower
is Lake Superior, which sounds egotistical
though it is merely cold and deep as truth.
A Midwesterner can use the word "truth,"
can sincerely use the word "sincere."
In truth the Midwest is not mid or west.
When I go back to Michigan I drive through Ohio.
There is off I-75 in Ohio a mosque, so life
goes corn corn corn mosque, I wave at Islam,
which we're not getting along with
on account of the Towers as I pass.
Then Ohio goes corn corn corn
billboard, goodbye, Islam. You never forget
how to be from Michigan when you're from Michigan.
It's like riding a bike of ice and fly fishing.
The Upper Peninsula is a spare state
in case Michigan goes flat. I live now
in Virginia, which has no backup plan
but is named the same as my mother,
I live in my mother again, which is creepy
but so is what the skin under my chin is doing,
suddenly there's a pouch like marsupials
are needed. The state joy is spring.
"Osiris, we beseech thee, rise and give us baseball"
is how we might sound were we Egyptian in April,
when February hasn't ended. February
is thirteen months long in Michigan.
We are a people who by February
want to kill the sky for being so gray
and angry at us. "What did we do?"
is the state motto. There's a day in May
when we're all tumblers, gymnastics
is everywhere, and daffodils are asked
by young men to be their wives. When a man elopes
with a daffodil, you know where he's from.
In this way I have given you a primer.
Let us all be from somewhere.
Let us tell each other everything we can.

I will never be a musician.

I will never hold an instrument and have the ability to create something wonderful. I will never be able to compose anything truly moving, anything memorable or special. I will never close my eyes and hear the sounds of an imagined tune that could change the world. I will never strum a guitar and hear all the possible songs of the world in the sound. I will never put my fingers on a piano's keys and feelt them move of their own free will, creating, living, freeing the melodies just beneath the surface. I will never hear the infinite potential of every note and all the million ways it could be arranged to mean something.

Never ever.

Remodel; everything's been done.

List of Things I Want in 2009:

1. World peace (mandatory cliché goodwill).

2. The discovery of an alternate fuel source that will render oil and petroleum useless and lead to the collapse of the world as we know it.

3. A band of sycophants and followers that will hang on my every world and proclaim it dogma.

4. Twenty-five minutes with James St James in a K-hole.

5. To be in a conga line with Chuck Palahniuk, Erika Lopez, and Don DeLillo.

6. To finally find out what the man says at the end of the Radiohead video for "Just".

7. Twenty-five minutes with Kim Deal. K-hole not mandatory.

8. A permanent end to Grey's Anatomy.

9. The 13th book in Robert Jordan's "Wheel of Time" series.

10. To see David Roxburgh fall flat on his face during his seminar tomorrow.
