What Kind Of Day Has It Been?
I've fought long for a break in the cycle. Often i'd wake to the concept that "change is gonna come" and soon. "Soon" is relative, of course. I've spent years fighting each day with the idea that "soon" would mean "today." Incremental change remains a change, right ( Read more... ) -
On Respiration
Like leaves in the autumn air, so float the loves of our lives. Colorful and fragile, each embraces the winds of our moods and takes flight. Yet autumn does not last forever. Soon the gusts of winter overcome us. It is then that we wonder if the warmth within can sustain us amidst the frost. It is then that love can as easily breathe ( Read more... ) -
Marx My Words AKA Beware of Loaded Puns
It's been ages since I last posted so i'll try to skip the contrived, sentimental nostalgia that usually accompanies my "comeback" posts. The reality is that it's rather early in the morning (or late in the night), and i've recently been inspired to return to writing. In the interest of additional disclosure, i'll admit that i've been recently ( Read more... ) -
Purple Mountain Majesties
I've great adoration for what remains of American wildnerness. In particular, I adore the upper western region of our country and the Great Plains that precede them. Though i would scarcely identify with the frontiersman in terms of appreciation, I find myself increasingly reverent to the sheer beauty of their lot - the frontier itself. Rustic ( Read more... ) -
Empty Literary Calories
…and the story never quite unfolds as explicitly as it does when we’ve the least time to tell it. The details of our lives that elude our self-reflectively quizzical nature are often those gems which shine brightest when we’ve not the capacity for understanding and hover closest to our grasp when we lack the medium to express. In short ( Read more... ) -
Sequestered Another Semester
As the semester enters its final three weeks (counting "Exam Week"), I find myself calm yet mildly eager to see this dreadful Junior Year conclude. No need to visit my local doctor or academic counselor - i'm ready to call it myself. I have an increasingly malignant case of Senioritis. It's safe to say that, once again, i've contracted the ( Read more... ) -
I Before Thee Except After She, [Hearts In Transit]
Hearts In Transit
Stuck in traffic. The cricles we
Run. Greenlight. Proceed.
Yellow. So casual it feels yet
progress seems so. damn. slow.
Red my mind. Almost time to

Windows close. Thought trains
Stop. Signs often come too late...

I Before Thee Except After She [interlude]
Note: In case you're wondering why the excerpt from the novel is now a private entry, it's because static formatting
has made me uncomfortable with it's presentation. Simply put, i'd rather it look the way I envisioned it
in physical format, even if I've no control over one's other interpretation.

I Before Thee Except After She, Part One
"I Before Thee Except After She"
Mispoken words take flight as if
guided - Miss, I'll hesitate to re-create
History. Truth unearthing. At least,
I'm searching. Her story, fact or fiction?
Since I've heard the lines
in which i've waited and read between
only to find nothing rendered
Nothing gained. Nothing happened,
Nothing changed.

V for Verity
…And the problem is choice.
I simply cannot decide if being here is worth the additional patience and endurance that is necessary.
I’m trying, with increasing vigilance, to discern my ups from my downs. On the emotional playground of life, I’m trying not to get stuck on the mood swings. I've been adjusting to whatever has been ( Read more... )
