About

I'm Alyssa. Whatever you want to know about me, just ask.








The Girl
Sharon Olds

I see them standing at the formal gates of their colleges,
I see my father strolling out
Under the ochre sandstone arch, the
Red tiles glinting like bent
Plates of blood behind his head, I
See my mother with a few light books at her hip
Standing at the pillar made of tiny bricks with the
Wrought-iron gate still open behind her, its
Sword-tips black in the May air,
They are about to graduate, they are about to get married,
They are kids, they are dumb, and all they know is they are
Innocent, they would never hurt anybody.
I want to go up to them and say Stop,
Don’t do it-she's the wrong woman,
He’s the wrong man; you are going to do things
You cannot imagine you would ever do,
You are going to do bad things to children,
You are going to suffer in ways you never heard of,
You are going to want to die. I want to go
Up to them there in the late May sunlight and say it,
But I don't do it. I want to live. I
Take them up like the male and female
Paper dolls and bang them together
At the hips like chips of flint as if to
Strike sparks from them, I say
Do what you are going to do, and I will tell about it.

Saw an interview the other day, Jay-Z of all people was saying that they're the innovators in music these days.

We do but at the same time, I'm branching out a tiny bit.

Well, Lady GaGa's new album came out a few hours ago so I'm reviewing that first. Then I'll be reviewing Grizzly Bear's latest and then, Kid Cudi's. From there, hopefully have a few friends and people watching and commenting and I'll get into better music.

Starting up a music album review site and listening to the first three albums I'll be reviewing, to pull in some people.
