Did you ever just have a lot to say but no one to say it all to?
I'm having one those moments.

Has anyone else ever noticed that whenever you decide to give up on something the universe comes along with a big pile of hope and says, "have some it tastes great."
The universe has done that to me this week and you know what, hope tastes delicious.

White Flag
I've said it before
Now I'll say it again
I surrender
It was an uphill struggle
With little chance of victory
So I'll raise my white flag
Before I'm in too deep
While I can still walk away
So maybe I live
To fight another day.
Resignation is a beautifully cruel thing.

I can't believe it's been almost six months since I posted anything here, though I doubt anyone missed me. The saddest part is that I have nothing new to report. New poem though and I'll assume you can all figure out what it means. Peace.
The Fool
I can't believe it
I've gone and done it again
Fallen hard for something
That I can never have
And will never happen
Everyone around said no
Everything inside said stop
But I didn't listen
I never do
It just keeps happening
And it always turns out the same
A few brief moments
Of something resembling joy
Followed by a vicious cycle
Of my three old friends
Cigarettes, whiskey and sad songs
Just once I'll listen to everyone
For that matter, listen to myself
But for now I'll do this all once more
Trade in my logic for blind optimism
And play my old, familiar role
As the hopeful fool
Destined to end up
With a broken heart.

Ghost
Tonight I learned, in painful detail
What it feels like to be a ghost
It only took a second, maybe even less
Like a star eclipsed by a moon
I was there
And then I was gone
And there wasn't a thing I could do about it
Nothing I could have done
Nothing I could have said
Would have made you see me
So I'll just shake my head
Lie and say it's for the best
As I fade into the background
Nonexistent, just another ghost.
This goes with last night's post. One day I want to be the brightest star.

Today was such a gorgeous day and where was I? I was inside sick.
I fucking hate being sick. And this week of all weeks. I have so much work to do but I can only stop coughing for more than five minutes if I'm doped off my ass on codeine cough syrup (which tastes like crap by the way). Fuck.

I don't care what anyone says, Eli Manning IS NOT, I repeat NOT, the second coming of Joe Namath. There will only ever be one Joe Namath, and he played for my beloved New York Jets.
And another thing, Super Bowl III is the greatest Super Bowl ever played. The Jets beating the Colts will always have more significance to NFL history than the Giants getting lucky and beating the Patriots.

So yeah it's been almost a month since I posted last, why not do an update.
School started, woo-fucking-hoo. I've had two different professors tell the class that it's ok if we don't well because after all it's only community college. That really pisses me off, not sure why but it does.
I turned 25 and almost no one noticed. Thanks to those few who did for well wishes.
I'm really fucking tired of hearing about the Giants. I get it they're playing in the super bowl. Next.
I haven't been able to write at all lately, which sucks pretty hard. Though I'm sure all the Valentine's Day shit that's about to start will change that.
I feel really disconnected lately, I can be sitting in a room full of people and still I feel like I don't belong there but I won't get all existential. I will say that I miss people and feel like a bad friend because I don't call or email. (Though it would be nice if someone could call me once in a while. Would it kill them?)
And that's about it, nothing else new to report. Peace all.

So I'm going to guess that most of you haven't noticed that I haven't posted here in almost two months. I just haven't had much to say and well nothing has really happened to me lately. But anyway I think it might be time for a year in review type of thing, and why not everyone else seems to be doing them. What can I say about this year.
Did anything good happen? Surprisingly, yeah some good things did happen, not many, but some. I managed to get rid of one of my biggest vices, World of Warcraft. I managed to quit smoking for two whole weeks, so I know I can do it. I think I finally might have found my niche in journalism, sucks that I'm back in college but it's better than staring at a computer screen while locked in a cubicle.
And then there's the bad stuff. I'm not going to talk about most of the bad stuff, why bother. I know what was bad this year. Heartbreak, emoness, scars, tears, I know what they all were. It's just not worth dragging it all up.
And that's it for me. Here's hoping to 2008 is better than 2007. May we all find happiness, may we all find love, may we all find a little bit of peace. So Happy New Year, good luck, amen.

Drove up to Hillside Manor sometime after two a.m.
And talked a little while about the year
I guess the winter makes you laugh a little slower,
Makes you talk a little lower about the things you could not show her
And its been a long December, and there's reason to believe
Maybe this year will be better than the last
I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself
To hold on to these moments as they pass
And it's one more day up in the canyon
And it's one more night in Hollywood
It's been so long since I've seen the ocean..I guess I should.
