2011
Here we are once again, closing in on the start of a brand new year.
That has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it? Brand new year…
Some of us will make resolutions while others will make cynical banter at the trivial nature of those resolutions.
I guess in a way it may seem pathetic to rely on the start of a new year to make promises of keeping promises.
I mean, really… what is...

Flow Fast
Lets not move any faster than slow
I’d like this moment to last a little longer than the time before
You know reality hit me hard this time around
And I’d just like to procrastinate going back for a while
Can we not talk about what just happened?
There’s no need for words, I like the silence
I can keep myself daydreaming when we’re quiet
Unless you’d like to hear me moan again
That’s the only...

“Last Christmas I gave you my heart…”
I honestly did. I just don’t think you remember. I can’t say that I blame you, it’s not something worth remembering anyway.
“I tried my best to be guarded, I’m an open book instead…”
Somehow you managed to get to me again. I was doing so well, so well… I don’t know what it is or why,...

Late Night Tangents
I don’t know what I’m thinking, I just know that I have a lot on my mind.
The new year is right around the corner. In less than a week it’ll be the start of something new, a year that should be different.
That seems to be how every year is supposed to start: new and different.
I’m freaking out for some reason, I’m not sure what it is about this upcoming year that...

We became something less than friends, we became neighbors. And though we were closer by proximity, the distance between us felt infinite. We stopped being ourselves and turned into the people we despised in each other, making excuses for the reasons we grew apart. Substituting the pain with words that caused more wounds than our actions ever did. Balancing ourselves on the fine line that...

2010 Miracles
Yesterday had to be one of the scariest days of my life.
My 16 year old sister called me in a panic. I’ve never heard her voice so scared. “I got into a car accident!”
My heart dropped.
My brain quickly rationalized that it can’t be that bad of an accident, she managed to make the call. Instantly, as I dropped everything I had in my hands, leaving work in a panic, and rushing to her location, I...

WikiLeaks: America the indispensable →
Despite all the headlines and breathless analysis, the WikiLeaks dump of U.S. State Department cables has thus far had surprisingly little effect on U.S. policy or diplomacy. The limited sample released to date – reportedly only about one percent of the total archive – can be divided into three broad categories:
Ho Hum. The overwhelming majority of the cables merely show American diplomats going...

Good Night
It’s sleepless nights like this
When I can’t close my eyes without seeing your face
These covers wrap around me like your arms used to
Bedsheets stained with your warmth
Your scent hints the cold breeze coming from my window
And I just can’t seem to help myself
Falling in submission to this sweet recollection
Time racing aside these memories
Soon enough my thoughts usher...

Others
1 a.m. and this feels nothing like a fading memory.
Remember when you said “this’ll only hurt a little bit”? Yeah, well, you lied.
And it took countless years and heartaches to realize it.
If it wasn’t you then it had to be someone else, and this heart of mine was too frail and angry to let the memory of you subside.
So instead, I dove in. Heart first because my mind...

The Nearing End...
It’s kind of funny how the month of December brings you a sense of nostalgia. It’s the time of year when, aside from the holidays, people begin to reminisce about the past eleven months that somehow flew by. The time of year that has everyone silently questioning themselves, what have I accomplished this year?
Another year gone by. 365 days.
Now we all start thinking about new years...

Funny people
People are funny.
I write one silly little thing and everyone goes bonkers with comments, thoughts and ideas of how to make this silly thing even sillier.
Yet… sadly, if I bring up something of substance, suddenly no one has anything to say. Where did the comments go? Where is the banter? No more ideas?
People are thinkers.
I refuse to believe that not everyone has their own original...
