I can't do this anymore.  I only did it to get to where I really wanted to be.  I think I've done my time.  I think I've paid my dues.  I think I've exhausted all the clichés about being finished with something.

What now?  You keep telling me I'm great and that I could be ( Read more... )

I can't say that it's easy to be anywhere right now.  Everywhere ( Read more... )

He didn't know why everyone kept ignoring his cries for help.  They were telling him to "get it together" and that he was just troubled because he was a genius.  It was always about the future and where he needed to go next, but that wasn't where his heart and head were.  His heart and head were in the "now."  What's going on now is what truly ( Read more... )

The Queen of the Unfeeling is turning over her reign.  Anybody want the title?

Sometimes when I look at you, all I can do is smile.  I know you don't see me, and that's good.  I think you'd be afraid if you saw me looking at you.  I mean, I only do it for a second, but it's the nature of the look that would turn you off.

I'm in a really good place right now.

The job is still going very well. I love this place. I could stand to have a little less RAIN, but other than that, it's great! I really do love Mobile, whether you like it or not!! I just have a lot of great memories from here, and I'm so comfortable here. I don't know; we all have our places like that, and I ( Read more... )

Do you ever have those days where you can't DO anything?  I'm talking about the days where you try to talk and your words don't seem to come out in your native tongue--or any language you've ever studied, for that matter.  I mean the days where your mind tells your hands to do one thing, but they do the complete opposite.
