First Blood

Just as the sword slices,

Human flesh.

The quill slices words onto,

paper.

Some people are brave enough to embrace,

the sword.

Some challenge,

the pen.

The difference lies in the story,

we write,

And with which medium,

we dip our weapon in.

But we all draw blood.

Cassette Tapes...

Hi everyone. I am pretty much drained. A mindless wanderer. It isn't so bad sometimes- the things I think about during these circumstances are all so beautiful and simple. Nothing has, or will, drastically change my mood.
I am kind of a sentimental person. It may not seem like it, but I just have this crazy memory for people and situations. Now, that doesn't mean I am going to remember your name right away- of course there are flaws. Anyway... back to my point. I often get excited about random photographs. They will remind me of something and by the time I am done looking, I have gone back in time and looped all the way back around again.


This one had me smiling today. Remembering cassette tapes...
Music used to be so much more artistic. When cassette tapes were in high popularity illegally downloading music off the Internet was still a thing of the future. People used to actually be excited for new albums. The anticipation would grow for months, and people would run to music stores. I still buy CD's often, although the last 2 I bought were not very awesome- and it has left me feeling poor. Vinyl records are the coolest though. Not just because they sound real... but because the album art is huge. They are coming back you know! That will be interesting.
Cassette tapes were an odd little time in music history. They remind me of VHS tapes. Haha Whatever. The point I was trying to get to, was that it was a real pain when the cassette tape unraveled.

I obviously can not use commas properly.

Much love.

My dearest icon.

My dear little chat icon, oh how I wish you would turn green. You simply cannot understand the endless frustration and hours that I spend, going on and off of the computer, checking to see if you had changed within the last five minutes. It drives me crazy, waiting for you to come online...

Oh oh oh oh. It's green! It's green! IT'S GREEN! But NOW I'm miserable because I don't know what to say. I don't know whether I'll sound too needy or if I'll sound too casual. Is "hi" really the safe way to go, or should I open with something fresh and dar... Oh wait.. what?

No no no no. Don't do this to me. It's just a malfunction, something's obviously gone wrong. I've gone color blind, my computer has suddenly stopped showing the color green, something else...Damn it.

You're offline again.

New decade...new beginnings?

I thought it might be nice to write about this occasion. I don't know why- I find New Years hard. I tried to write about this earlier, and came up short. What is that saying? "If at first you don't succeed, try try again." That drives me crazy. What ever happened to "I don't want to"? That has been floating in my thoughts for days. Relentlessly. I have had to fight myself off to even walk out my front door. Anyway, I will save that for another time. New years... I could always write something with some sort of artistic value, and hope that it spreads inspiration- but who am I kidding? It is almost 3am. It's not happening.

So...I will leave you with my hope. My hope is that this new year of 2010 is everything you hope for. Filled with joy and new discoveries. My wish, is that you find comfort. Contentment. Picture perfect moments. Love in all aspects.

Goodnight, and Happy 2010.
