So, yes. I am starting over… again. And this time I weigh way more than I did before. A lot of that has to do with the stresses of college… I weighed 172 at the end of the summer, and now I weight 194.8 (last time I checked, this morning). It’s pretty dismal, to see how easy and quickly one can gain weight.

I’m attempting to do my best, though. And we’ll see what the diet is like in Africa.

I like this song as well… Just discovered it. So here’s my attempt, based on these lyrics: http://www.otania.com/data/19483.txt

Kiss me overboard
Come, my angel, redraw the sky
I will crucify your body—
if I can unpin your wings

To kiss, to burn you at the same time
To wedge my nails in your burning spine
To beg you to come back to me
To do everything, oh everything, to see you leave

Oh come, take me there
Give me your hand if I don’t take it
Flay my wings, blow me away
And continue to remain at peace

A thousand times, we entwine ourselves
And grow weary beneath it all
Still hold me, hold me
until I choke on you

There are some bastards
who plunder the hearts of women
and there are women who have forgotten
the source from which love draws its charm:
Butterfly from flower to flower
from love into love, soulmates
those who have just one star
or those who burn their sail

I love your tears when you love
your sweat, the blood, make us lovers
who impassion themselves, who bleed—
I love when I am flayed alive

I don’t attribute failure
to our tragedies, to our goodbyes
Come back to me, come back to me
You will leave best that way

After we writhe and twist
we will end up dying
What’s the point of rebuilding ourselves—
we are disciples of the worst kind

Despite ourselves, despite ourselves
What’s the point of feeling bigger than ourselves
Two specks of madness in the wind
Two blazing souls, two children…

There are some bastards
who plunder the hearts of women
and there are women who have forgotten
the source from which love draws its charm:
Butterfly from flower to flower
from love into love, soulmates
those who have just one star
or those who burn their sail

Still hold me, hold me
until I choke on you…
Still hold me, hold me
until I choke on you…

I’ve lost 20 pounds already this summer. I want to get down to 30 by my cousin’s wedding in early August.
