thoughts of January 1st... approx. 8:34pm

what do you call a state of emotional equilibrium? you’re not hopelessly in love. you’re not angry at the world. you’re not depressed. you’re not outstandingly proud… you’re just there, soaking up the world around you. it’s times like these I like to sit and think about all the possibilities I have. all the opportunities I plan to find. all the plans I...

a recap of my 2011.

Well 2011, I expected a lot from you… and I’ll give it to you. You met my expectations. You gave to me, you took from me. You bore witness to landmark events of my life… you knew I would say farewell to this year a different person than the one who greeted it. As a member of the high school graduating class of 2011, my classmates and I looked forward to you for many years indeed....

an autopsy.

when i die, i want to have wrinkles. the kind that come from laughing too much. i want to have a less than perfect waist-line, one that says that i enjoyed good food. hopefully i’ll have something to show for my education, at least a decent hair cut. i want strong arms, the kind that can hug those i love. i hope i have poised lips, a pair that haven’t been worn out by gossiping. i want...

all i want to do is to cry and scream, and cry some more. just bawl… really let it out. quite frankly i’d like to just sink below the ground, fall off the face of the earth. i just want to beg him to let me in, beg him to give me a chance.

he layed on his side, there in bed… starring straight across the mattress at her silhouette outlined by the cotton sheets. her back turned towards him, he soaked in the image of her soft brown hair cascading over the pillow. the nape of her neck shown in the moonlight, descending to her pale shoulders. What shoulders these were, those that held her beautiful carriage and posture, these...

halloween in snowy retrospect.

It’s a blizzard outside, but we decide we can withstand And so you take my hand Putting it in your pocket There we stand, at the corner of Port Republic and Market As we wait there for a pedestrain crossing I look at you and think in passing Are these goose bumps because of you? Or are they from the temperature, holding steady at 32. Snow flakes are sticking to my eye lashes You...

Tonight I was courageous. If there is one thing I learned in high school from watching mine and my friends failed relationships it’s never to chase a fading relationship It’s futile. Well I’m in college now, and I’ll be damned if I don’t learn from my mistakes. Maybe it was the signs that threw me, signs of infatuation. Maybe it was the frat boy good looks, or the...

cr3at1vem1nd: When I was younger I used to stay up all night & watch tv. I would only go to sleep when nothing good was on. Needless to say I slept on a great show. I used to think the show Fraiser was boring & pointless. But now that I’m older & I’m watching reruns of it in college, I think its brilliant. I didn’t understand it back then so I guess I’m getting wiser or maybe old....
