Having a kid means never staying up till 10 or sleeping past 6 ever again. EVER AGAIN.

[Susan Sontag's Diary @sontagdaily]

It is useless for me to record only the satisfying parts of my existence—(There are too few of them anyway!) Let me note all the sickening waste of today, that I shall not be easy with myself and compromise my tomorrows. 9/1/48

My appreciation of the great David Berman. https://t.co/8KI6Vk6vHi

I'm just letting the day be what it is:
a place for a large number of things
to gather and interact—
not even a place but an occasion
a reality for real things.

David Berman, Capricorn

If you were cool in high school
you didn't ask too many questions.../
...And the pressure to simulate coolness/
means not asking when you don't know,/
which is why kids grow ever more stupid.

DAVID BERMAN (Self Portrait at 28)

[XAGXAGUXAR @jagjaguwar]

In 2016, we asked David Berman for a quote about the mid-90s early days of Jagjaguwar in Charlottesville. Instead, he sent a loving, hilarious and slyly beautiful poem about UVA football, the early Internet and plant life. Now, we share it with you.
