I find myself reading notes in the back of old spirals from the junior college days. A voice somewhat familiar speaking of crumbling relationships. A voice afraid of being alone. I look in the mirror and I don't see the fear now. As I predicted, the callouses have grown. I live alone now, in a colorful prison of my own design, surrounded by ( Read more... )

They create the criminals to catch said criminals to do the job to get the money. Justice is entirely different when money's involved. The system begins to work off of proving one's worth in order to justify a paycheck. It doesn't matter if the day to day work gets done. Crime means business which means jobs. The system isn't set up as a ( Read more... )

There's a barrier that you don't cross with people. They grunt and call it "personal space." That's what the talking heads like to package it as. Sounds nice. Like you own something. Just another excuse to be paranoid and overprotective. Better buy some more deadbolt locks and an ADT home alarm system. If somebody violates your "personal space" you ( Read more... )

The lump inside my elbow tells me its name is Karl. Karl exists to cause me grief. Karl is a benign lump of infected joint fluid.

Why waste your time anymore? The Superbowel hasn't been fun since pretending to follow football in elementary school. It's more about the commercials now anyways.

What ever happened to ( Read more... )

"You're not a happy person," she says to me. Something about the way I act tells her that I'm not happy. "Not the behavior of a happy person ( Read more... )

I find that it's been a problem of mine since the start of art school. The women. Not the usual form of problem, though. It does stem from that, however. I've been having trouble placing female characters into my writing. I attribute this to the fact that I'd given up on understanding them altogether. They appear from time to time as background ( Read more... )

Saw a video on stileproject the other day. It was one of those files that you wish you hadn't seen but are glad you did later on. Anyway, it was video of a man cutting open a crocodile. The file was titled "Man-eating croc" or something like that. So I'm waiting for this to be extremely disgusting. They take a few minutes to hack through this ( Read more... )
