So today, one of the tires on my car went flat, right after work around 11:15 ish. Some guy pulled over after he got off work and helped us. The tire would not come off for nearly forty-five minutes. It sucked.

So then, I wheeled the tire to my trunk and as I stopped to put the key in the lock, one of the jerks from school threw a beer bottle out ( Read more... )

Beneath knowing is understanding,
Beneath understanding is seeing,
Beneath seeing is recognizing,
Beneath recognizing is knowing.

Maybe it's real.. last Saturday, you know, was a complete wreck and yet absolutely miraculous at once. I keep pinching myself to be certain it was real. I just hope it happens again, only next time, he better show up on ( Read more... )

Four Sullivan High School students were in a car accident yesterday, leaving two dead, one in the hospital, and one quite fine. Dean Waters and Becky McGuire, both sophomores, died yesterday morning. It was announced right after first lunch. Everyone in AP Bio Lecture was silent during the announcement. As soon as it was over, however, a burst of ( Read more... )

I feel the rain on my cheek and I reach up to touch it. Just to make sure...so I know it's really there. I pull my hand away from my face, so I can see the smeared droplet, glistening and wet on my finger. Because seeing is believing in my world.

If the Red slayer think he slays,
Or if the slayed think he is slain,
They know not well the subtle ways;

Shadow and sunlight are the same;
The vanished gods to me appear;
And one to me are shame and fame.

They reckon ill who leave me out;
When me they fly, I am the wings;
I am the ( Read more... )

Don't feel sorry for me just because you don't know what I've been through;
Don't worry about me because you don't know what I'm doing;

Don't pine over my life because you don't know what to think of yours.

Salty to the taste,
Shower through the atmosphere-
A painful fall from grace.

But I must perservere.
