Sometimes, when I catch up with a friend's blog or facebook or actually talk to the in person... I wish that things hadn't changed so much. I wish that I had taken the easy path. For a moment, I wish that I hadn't taken those first steps off the path, into the unknown, that I had simply stayed the course. But this is me, and I never take the easy ( Read more... )

Well, it has been a while. I've been living on the East Coast with Anthony for almost 6 months now. It's actually been going quite well, in general. Taking into account where things like the economy is at, that is. In other words, I've only been able to find a horrible temp job for the past 3 months, but outside of that everything is good. And all ( Read more... )

Now the question I'm wondering about is whether that is more reflective of how people perceive me physically or personality-wise? And does it carry the connotation of "weak" or "timid," or the connotation of "kind" or "non-threatening?" Or something else entirely ( Read more... )

Right now all we have ( Read more... )

I call out to the sky,
Why?
What do you want from me?
What am I supposed to do?

But there is no answer.
Is it a test?
Am I on my own?
Should I make the decision?
Or should I simply wait?

How often does it really happen that one ill thought out statement, one chance meeting, one action of any kind, changes a life's path dramatically? Or is the flow of time tough to change, not like a car that can turn on a dime, but like a ( Read more... )

So I wanted to make some comments on the term "illegal war" but decided that a flame war would erupt if I put those comments on facebook. So you get them here instead ( Read more... )

So I did this a while ago, but finally decided to post it. I did still opt to post it here instead of facebook because while I don't mind admitting these things, I'm not entirely comfortable admitting them to everyone, including friends, family, and professors ( Read more... )
