Theatre
I don’t think there is anything I have more of a love/hate relationship with. What’s funny is that I have the same feelings toward the show Glee. I’ll try to explain:
When theatre is done well, there is very little that can outdo it when it comes to pure, raw emotion. When a show-stopping tune actually hits like it is supposed to, it can take your breath away. When a monologue...

Names
Random fact: I don’t know if it’s subconscious or not, but I tend to date girls with less common names. What’s more, the ones I’ve been serious with have been even less common. The reason? I usually feel like that name is ruined after I break up with a girl. I also feel wrong dating another girl of the same name. I feel like it ruins the time we had. I’m like this...

Sports
I wish my left knee hadn’t blown out in that football game when I was trying to tackle the QB on the rainy, muddy field. Maybe I would’ve continued playing. Maybe I would’ve become a really good linebacker (I certainly read the field well and had speed, I just needed to get stronger). Maybe I would’ve gotten a scholarship to play at college and could have graduated off...

Hi RHYMESWITHBEAN! →
You started following me for some reason and I started following you because you seem interesting. I read your about me post and I like it a lot. I especially relate with the following:
I tend to use this thing for working out family angst, posting lots and lots of irrational rants, finding pretty pictures, and complaining about hangovers. So, what I’ve been thinking a lot about to do this...

We Carry On
Sometimes after an issue resolves itself, going back to the status quo is nice.
My mom said today, “If I can’t laugh about it, I’ll just cry. So I have to laugh about it.”
I agree. A dinner out with the family after she got out. After 3 days of seeing her for an allotted time and sharing tears and fears and frustrations we needed to feel like nothing happened. We...

I've lived a full, messed up life.
Almost every single one is crossed out, the ones that aren’t are things I HAVE NOT done. Ask me if you want to know the stories behind any of these. :)
Graduated High School. Kissed someone. Smoked cigarettes. Got so drunk you passed out. Rode every ride at an amusement park. Collected something really stupid. Gone to a rock concert. Helped someone. Gone fishing. Watched four movies in...

Moment of Weakness
Give me a moment. I have a chance to collect my thoughts for the first time in a few days. I’ve been exhausted and emotionally drained and overwhelmed. I’m a small trigger away from crying at any moment. I feel the very core of my strength being tugged at constantly. At the same time, I feel numb and almost dead at times. I can’t put much into words but I’m trying right...

Crash: A Poem By Me
Trapped in a room with one window
The view was toward the future
My eyes were fixed to the horizon
I was unaware the room was burning
I saw a portrait
With colours unknown to me
An embellished design
Was never meant to be
When life was in flux
I had my crutch
But in a room of content
My thoughts became bent
I plucked at the seams
I faltered in dreams
And placed in a cast
I...
