Beauty.
...it's weird. Growing up as a 'heterosexual' guy (as far as my parents knew, anyway), I found that I was constantly assailed with ideas of what was, and was not, 'beautiful'. In the media, of course, but even by my own family - if I expressed interest in a girl, my family only referred to her as beautiful if she met certain criteria: if she was ( Read more... ) -
A rescue.
Sarah called me earlier tonight in tears from a pay phone near her apartment. When I asked her what was wrong, she told me there was a tiny hurt puppy trapped in a pile of furniture a bunch of people had thrown out near her. She's small, and couldn't reach in far enough to get it out, but didn't want to sit by and watch it suffer.
So, off I went ( Read more... ) -
I promised details, and details there be.
I had such a good time last night - an amazing time, really, not because of where we went or what we did, but because of who I was with. Gushy sappy disgustingness ahead. You've been warned.
What I've found is that Sarah and I talk almost to the exclusion of everything else. We talk on the phone, we talk in emails, we talk in person, and we never ( Read more... ) -
Best. Night. Ever.
Details later.
I bed now.
With a huge goofy smile on my face.

Rising sign: Capricorn
...I'm still looking up the import of all this. So far my zodiac signs make me sound like a pretty cheerful stray dog. o_0 -
Teaching tae kwon do to inner-city kids.
So, cool new opportunity:
I found out through the grapevine about a really cool organization here in NYC that lets black-belted instructors teach young inner-city kids. It's all volunteer, but the general gist is to channel the kids' energy and time into something that makes them feel good about themselves, teaches them discipline, how to think for ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
So that is how I learned the lesson everyone is alone. And your eyes must do some raining if you are ever going to grow. But when crying doesn't help and you can't compose yourself, it is best to compose a poem, an honest verse of longing or a simple song of hope. That is why I'm singing. Baby, don't worry 'cause now I've got your back. And ( Read more... ) -
Faith and Spirituality
Lately, my spirituality - or lack thereof, perhaps - has been one of the foremost things on my mind. This is largely because I'm back in the States, where religion and religious discussions seem so much more prevalent to me and also because the girl I'm interested in, Sarah, considers herself a Christian (albeit a very different kind of Christian ( Read more... ) -

I really thought tonight was going to be kind of awful. Ava's parents wanted to take Ava out to dinner, and hadn't really invited me along - they don't like me very much. Ava was going to raise a fuss, but I told him no. I thought the time by myself might be nice. And so they went out, and I took a long shower and was just sort of hanging out ( Read more... )
