Good evening, America.

Allow me first to apologize for this interruption. I do, like many of you, appreciate the comforts of every day routine- the security of the familiar, the tranquility of repetition. I enjoy them as much as any bloke. But in the spirit of commemoration and in lieu of current events, I thought we could mark this moment by taking ( Read more... )

So I stayed up the entire night, until departure.

Don't worry, I'm not sick or anything. Just amazed the way my mind works when its late - I love it. Im sure it looks like a cross between a Fellini movie and a Kandinsky Painting.

Now I remember why I write poetry, and why I destroy it when I'm done.

Alas - time to go...

Ere - The Red Sun Rises.

"Don' ( Read more... )

From Friday

So, yesterday had to be one of the best college days I think I've ever had.
To start, I had a Native American Religion Test at 8:30 in the morning. We were given two hours, I ( Read more... )

Quite a nice roundhouse to the testicles that make up my self-esteem.

Its disconcerting to realize that sometimes, even your best just isn't enough.

For the most insightful moment of the day:

Jess: "Wow, I really dodged a bullet on that one!"
Nick:  "Oh yea? Well, I should thank you for pushing me outta the way of that morter shell."
Jess: Insert Shock Face here.

I must say how justified I feel when the Universe proves me right.

15 hours of schoolwork.

So on a night, when most of my important work is finished, and the lights are done, I could have gone to bed at a respectable hour. But instead I chose to stay up until past 3:00 searching for, reading, and throwing myself into poetry. Because really, sometimes its just too good. Like, for its own good.  Ps. I know I'm a loser.

Is all  that we see ( Read more... )

Ok, so I created a fight in Sexualities class. I'm not sure when the whole, "Nature vs. Nurture," debate on homosexuality became synonymous with women’s rights, but here’s the deal:  The professor asked the class what we thought. After a couple raised their hands and gave their opinion for one or another, I slowly raised my hand and offered my ( Read more... )

I'll be honest.

Everythings chaotic, and everything is going very well.
Classes are going well, and they're going horribly. 
Life is Great, and Life sucks. 
I don't understand anything, and I understand everything. 
I'm sure, and undecisive.

And you ask me what I want this year
And I try to make this kind and clear
Just a chance that maybe we'll find ( Read more... )
