The Great Abstraction: The burrito business is not for the weak →
gavincastleton.tumblr.com
Imagine that you spend 15 years, half of your life, developing the ultimate recipe for a breakfast burrito. You sell everything you own to fund the process; you work around the clock, 7 days a week, fine-tuning this recipe and building a small storefront where you can sell these burritos. You call…

The Great Abstraction: Re: SOPA - Put my money where your mouth is →
gavincastleton.tumblr.com
One of the most common arguments lobbied against SOPA and PIPA is that there is a wealth of data to suggest piracy actually increases revenue to content creators/publishers. Anti-SOPA enthusiasts love to reference the recording industry’s public war on radio (and later cassette and compact…

This is just what I need
The perfect distraction.
Falling head over heels
From one interaction
It seems so far-fetched
But could it be so?
Do I really hold a power
Of which I don’t know?
Or could this be just
Some I’ll-fated fluke?
The mirror-reverse of my usual truth?
But can you believe it?
Can you believe it
I’m writing?
In heartbreak and dysfunction
I’m especially skilled.
Shadows lurk in the corner
And wait for the kill
But how could I have known
You’d be so quietly veiled?
Was it cause you were close
That the others all failed?
I’d be so happy to be
Just some diving song bird
I’ll keep circling down
For your one little word
Cause, can you believe it?
Can you believe it, I’m flying?

“I’m gay with the crowd, I play with the crowd/ but, oh, if they only knew…/ I’m painting the town red/ to hide a heart that’s blue.”
Ryan.
Such a nuisance it was running into you
Like a delicate cobweb unseen
Nearly unknowingly foiling that
Over which you’d been toiling
And these strands of yours upon me still cling
And anyway, what did it all mean
Anyway?
What harm could it do me?
I’d be lyin if I said that I loved you,
Just as much if I said that I couldn’t’a.
You were such a mess at that party,
When you pulled me aside in this dress,
Me too, I guess,
Replyin with words that I shouldn’t’a.
Anyway, I didn’t mean to be mean,
But now I see,
All the harm that it did was to me.
Ryan, it’s not that you were the best,
Just, yes, a harbinger for the rest.
The underlying pain from when you left,
Well, it hasn’t left my arms just yet,
And I’m not denyin you’ve been hard to forget,
Or that I’ve been tryin
It was 2 years ago now which makes it
No better for my health
That we left this club early
You said so you could have me all to yourself
The first in a while and the last since to say
That you’d never met anyone like me-
Who thought I’d need a voyeur
Just to soothsay, and sightsee?
And why would you lie
When we both knew we were about to
Just say goodbye?
The scar on my hand’s finally faded,
But the phantom sting is still there
From your renegade ember
In the morning on the stage- remember?
I hate how
You had to burn me to show me
I could still care.
At your suggestion to stay
What if I hadn’t just turned away?
