Life's Moments

I've never been a massive fan of shopping, especially grocery shopping.   Unlike my father who would spend hours reading labels and checking out the special deals, I like to get in and get out. I've never been one for waiting around. Mr Impatient maybe. Well in certain situations, alright I admit, Mr Impatient is a glove that fits rather well.   I had reason to visit Tesco's this morning to get some batteries, and while I was wondering around I decided to get me some new rope. Ah huh, rope..

Music From The Summer of 1995

Alright. So, it's (unofficially) summer, and I got the idea in my head to highlight a song from a particular summer every Monday and encourage people to share songs/memories from that year. I'm starting with the summer of 1995...this is my choice:   Kiss From A Rose by Seal   Kiss From A Rose. God, what a classic 90's pop track.   Summer '95 was the summer I moved to Delaware from Texas. I was 9 years old. My sisters were 12 and 13, and those lucky bitches got to spend the summer on th

Time moves on...

Well, I haven't written any thing like a personal blog in a long time and I'm highly due to.   My life has changed so much over the process of the last month or two.   At university, i've gone from a C grade student to A's across the board and looking at an average of a B+ for this year, which is amazing My grades has drastically improved and i'm finding myself even speaking in clearer more educated language. This is what university is for.   I still am shy though. That crippling self loa

Reasons to be Greatful - Summer

Thank God for Vitamin D.   I love the hot summer days, when you can walk down the road and everyone is looking rosy cheeked and awfully sexy as they take off their shirts and walk bare chested towards you.   It's an excuse to perv long and hard at the glorious examples of humanity around us.   Ahem   Sorry, just being honest. LOL. Don't tell me you don't window shop during the summer, when its all out there on display. Of course we do, it'd be almost wrong not too!   But seriously tho

The Advice We Give/Get

I find it frustrating that every time I talk to people, they all give me the same, yet different advice. Let's look at love and relationships.   Hypothetical situation: You're in love with someone, but they're in love with someone else. If you ask someone for advice, you'll get one of two things:   1) Fight for what you believe in. If you love this person, let them know it. Show them that you care for them. Profess your love for them and maybe they'll feel the same way. Even if they don't,

Big Boys Don't Cry

I guess I grew up in a time and place where the stereo typical trend was to bring up a tough, strong and independent lad, one that easily stood on his own two feet.   I can neither say this is a right or a wrong method of bringing up a child, I am no expert on raising kids, but I can say that in my own circumstances it taught me to bottle a lot up, taught me to keep a lid on my emotions , how to hide my thoughts and feelings and I'm pretty sure now looking back that this is not a very healthy

The inn of Sixth Happiness (1958)

The Inn of the Sixth Happiness is a 1958 American film based on the true story of a tenacious British maid, who became a missionary in China during the tumultuous years leading up to WWII. The film culminates with the column of children marching into the town, singing the song ‘This Old Man’ to keep up their spirits.   I love watching old movies, which remind me of my youth, soon 60 years ago. In the evening, when bringing the kids to bed,, we sang together the song that accompanies the end

Little Surprises

I've made little secret that one of my great pleasures is getting mail. Anything but bills and junk mail make me smile. I've gotten post cards from people on vacation, people showing parts of their home town or state, and even postcards of animals. Thinking of you cards also.   I am also something of a fanatic for holidays. New Year's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Easter, 4th of July, Thanksgiving, Christmas are events that get a card. I know your birthday, expect a card. I know your wedding anniver

Sometimes the Difficulties Make it Worth It

Sometimes I find myself angry at the world for making life so damn difficult. Then at other times I get irked at the fact that what should be the simplest of tasks is made into a mountain of confusion.   But when I stop to ponder and give consideration of the ups and downs of life I am given reason to think that realistically, its these ups and downs that make life interesting. Without them we'd live an easy, boring existence.   Think about it. You get a task to do. It is repetitive and simp

resurfacing

Ive heard its best to pick up where one leaves off.   It makes sense, but it was never a philosophy given to writing. Especially when there is a prolonged gap. You just can't get back to it. The rhythm changes, any cadence established gets lost. You can try, Im sure, but the fracture of time will stand like the grand canyon in the story.   Plus I know I write better now then I did two or three years ago. I am however not sure any of the characters are as good as some I have left here sitti

Teach 'em Young

I was lucky to at a very young age have been thrown into the wonderful world of Middle Earth as my eldest brother chose to read me first The Hobbit and then Lord of the Rings.   Immersed into a world of fantasy like none other I was entranced by the words, inspired by the imagination and transfixed by the genius of Tolkien. For a seven year old lad hearing the words of these stories roll off my brothers tongue as he read to me each evening was my candy fix for the day. I remember rushing home

Reasons to be Greatful - Music

I was thinking to myself as I lay in bed this morning, listening to some music sent to me for consideration for our station, how lucky we really are to have music in our lives.   As part of my therapy I've been tasked with focusing on the good things in our lives, the things we can and should be grateful for, and my choice for today is Music.   I greatly admire and respect anyone that has musical ability, not only because I tend to scare people off when I try to string a few notes together,

The stupidity of our twenties

So I spent basically five hours in the ER with my friend Josh and this guy, Steve(no, not Stoner Steve or Long Island Hipster Steve). Steve was a guest at Josh's party in the University Courtyards at Newark. I didn't know him, but Josh somewhat knew him. A bunch of the guests decided to hop the fence surrounding the UC pool for a late night swim. To impress some pretty girl, Steve decided he'd do a cannonball into the pool- only he did it at the shallow end. He got a gnarly gash on his head and

Message For You on a Lazy Day - Feel Loved

How many times a day are you told that your special?   You know something, its not something we share with people very much. We pass each other, often as silent ships sailing through the night, never stopping to say how much we care, not taking the time to make our feelings known.   For most of us putting into words things that are difficult to utter is not easy. We are naturally shy creatures, wrapped up in learning to survive, understanding emotion, feelings, and striving to heal life's hu

Beautiful story and good lesson on reparative therapy

If I were to post this in the open forums it will probably be moved to the soapbox and I have made it my promise not to get involved in a soapbox debate until my novella is done, which is coming along nicely. Also for those waiting on the last two parts of my play from the prior anthology, they are almost done and I am also wondering if my fictional play is actually being mirrored by non-fictional realities in Virginia. I'm not Arthur Miller, but sometimes, I wonder if the crucible that we curre

My Final GPA

I earned a 3.66, with my final cumulative GPA as a 3.75. Nice.   I spent high school and college(that's 11 years), freaking out about grades and hoping against hope I'd pull out a passing grade. It's weird to be past that now.

The darkness within

It was truly evil. And while I'm sure that something buried deep inside me feels something akin to guilt, I have no regrets for what I've done. Should I feel shame? Probably. If there was any shred of humanity left within me, I would probably feel something - anything - for the people I have hurt. But I don't. It's just coldness inside.   I should start at the beginning, but I don't even know where that is anymore. How did I become this?   Picture this for me. The london undergroun

A girl drew my attention, lol!

This might sound strange, but I was on the bus today and I was looking around aimlessly until I spotted a girl, who I thought was a guy. No I am not attracted to trannies and she was definitely not one just really boyish-manly looking, but from just the side of the face, I was really captivated. Maybe, the strong exposed forearm, the muscular legs, and the face was just too cute in a manly type of way. Her hair was cut in a short bowl cut and it was my favorite shade of maroon.   Like any gay

Graduation

It went off pretty well, for the most part. The departmental ceremony in the morning was nice- it was kind of weird in a way. I remember at my departmental ceremony for my UD graduation, noting when the M.A. students graduated, just how small the group was. And then two years later, I was on the other side, with my two other fellow masters. (Other people graduated, but they didn't come.) One of my professors joked with me that I was graduating despite her best efforts, but then congratulated me

Ruminate

One our saying says „it’s better [read: easier] to burn down the house than move it“. Another one says „your best friend shows in need“. I need to move and I asked my friends for a help.   Since it’s not an easy move but over almost 1000 miles, there haven’t been many volunteers. And those that were willing to help are falling off for different reasons and I’m short one man that is needed. Where are my best friends that should be supposed to drop everything and come to help when you’re in need
