And Herein Lies the Song

January 5, 2010

Most people have a song or maybe more than one that causes them to think of a certain person when they hear it.  My mind takes it one step further.  When I start thinking of the same person every time I hear the song and start remembering them, remembering times we’ve spent together, things we’ve [...]

Take This to Heart

January 2, 2010

I would do anything to get this message to you in a way that I know you will understand.  Thinking and feeling are two very different things, and as much as I know you think it, you are not feeling what needs to be felt here, and I am hurt by the fact that you [...]

Arm’s Length

December 27, 2009

One day, I hope you achieve what I have achieved.  Everybody deserves to be here, or at least, not there, and I have nothing but the sincerest wishes that you will find yourself in this place sooner rather than later.  I have done the best I could for you and I am unwilling to give [...]

Structural Support

December 23, 2009

I rarely ever explode.  I rarely ever spend longer than a few hours angry.  I am very laid-back, I let a lot of things slide.  But everyone reaches a point where they no longer feel like they can or that the offending parties deserve for them to be so nice.  I am rapidly approaching critical [...]

Trophy

December 21, 2009

This means more to me as a trophy than it does as what it really is.  This is something that, in and of itself, is almost essentially useless.  It’s almost meaningless.  It is not meaningless for others, but in the context of what it represents, it is a wonderful, amazing thing that says so very [...]

First Love

November 30, 2009

They say that you never forget your first love.  I laugh at this, I don’t see how this could ever even been possible, especially for me.  Especially when it is integrated so much into a part of who I am and what I have become. I was born three months premature via emergency C-section and [...]

No Stranger to You and Me

November 30, 2009

I just woke up from a sound sleep because the song that was playing so vividly in my head was so haunting.  I rearrange and harmonized with “In the Air Tonight” in my sleep and was “singing” it whilst asleep and the song that resulted was so chilling and beautiful that I woke up and [...]

Orbit

November 27, 2009

I have been sick with some kind of vengeful sinus infection, angered by the fact that I have killed its ancestors in the past.  Ravaging my inner workings seems to be its favorite pasttime.  I went to the doctor and my nurse practitioner pushed on my face, which sent waves of THROB THROB THROB through [...]

The Policy of Truth, Revisited

November 22, 2009

As much as I wish I could travel back in time, that will never happen.  It is unfair for me to continue to displace.  It’s unfair to keep you out of the loop.  Things happen for a reason, I don’t pretend to know what my reason in this was.  Is.  You deserve to know the [...]

Carried

November 20, 2009

I just completed writing something that took a lot out of me.  I picked up my phone to text my best friend Dan the following:  “Heaven’s not a place that you go when you die, it’s that moment in life that you actually feel alive.”  These are lyrics from a song he sent me called [...]
