I hated it over there. I thought maybe it would be better than working in some nine- to -five- shit-hole- for -8 -dollars- an -hour. I thought maybe if I went over there I would count for something. “We sleep safe in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm.” George Orwell said that.  It ( Read more... )

I’ve been looking for some answers…oddly enough I found something in the Bible.

This is not blasphemy nor is it religion, it’s what I read.

Genesis.

God creates heaven and earth…and so on.

Whenever God creates something, it says "God saw it was good, said it was good, and it was good."

The quality of God’s work. Good.

Standing by to copy over.

Female teachers…damn. I knew I couldn’t get away with having all guy teachers. Basically my 8am class is public speaking, so to speak. It’s run by a militant femme fatal who I can’t even venture a guess at the age of. I doubt I will ever know. She scares me enough to keep me awake in the early hours of the morning. If ( Read more... )

My first class was intro to communication. The professor is a portly, balding, red-faced man of dangerous enthusiasm. The class looks like it will be interesting…

I keep her close
curled up against the warmth of my heart
like an alien chest burster

god has his commandments

governments have their laws

people have their morals

and every day we choose our own

Maybe it’s because I know, because I’ve seen the way that people can truly be, that prepare my body for a bullet to the gut every day.

Some people might think it’s unhealthy to assume the worst all the time. But I think to hope for the best and plan for the worst is really the only way to keep your life from becoming a monumental disaster.

I do ( Read more... )

What’s this war in the heart of nature?

Why does nature vie with itself? Lands contend with the sea, skies contend with the earth.

Is there an avenging power in nature? Not one power, but two?

This great evil. Where’s it come from?

How’d it steal into the world?

What seed? What root did it grow from?

Does our ruin benefit the earth?

Does it help the ( Read more... )
