Fw: American Idiot

Ever get a ton of those "FW: Fw: Fw: duDe!!!!" kind of e-mails in your inbox?

You know the kind... the kind that want you to "forward this on to 15 friends within 4 hours and press F6 to see your crush's name appear on screen! it's so freaky!!!"

Don't they suck? My question... who the hell actually spends their time to forward this crap on to me, only so I can waste my time sorting them out straight into my trash...

And now The Facebook even has them going around... one word:

WTF?

Nighty Night....

Qdoba's + bowling + bars (*sigh*... but only one drink between four bars...) = helluva night.

New Shorts...

I've spent the last few days devising a new short story plot, and today I've officially begun to put ideas to paper. I'm aiming to write a short four-part series of 2-page short stories. Stay tuned.

Holiday Celebration

With the holidays here and myself with no spirit to care about it, I'm putting my best foot (and wallet) forward to do what I do best: make the holidays as great for everyone else as possible. In addition to a couple of oddball Christmas presents for some peeps, I'm planning on a full week of activities spanning between Christmas and New Years Day.

Stay tuned for details to come...

"It's the End of the World As We Know It"

For me, a new chapter shall begin.

For the world, I hide eternally in your shadow.

To my friends, I utterly apologize for what you're about to see.

To my family, I love you more than anything after all that has happened.

And to that little voice in my head that says I did the wrong thing - "fuck you!"

What a busy weekend.

Winter Wheat (link) kicks off tomorrow at BGSU, and I'm very excited about that. Look for me in the Student Union for Steve Almond's fiction reading at 7:30pm.

I'll be tied of all day Saturday and parts of Sunday with WW, so voicemail on the cell will become my best friend for getting ahold of peeps. Give me a ring if you wanna go out Friday or Saturday night!

In other news... today's quote... this time from Switchfoot's song "On Fire"

"And you’re on fire
When he’s near you
You’re on fire
When he speaks
You’re on fire
Burning at these mysteries..."

Out.

"I"ve seen better days..."

Four weeks of school is all that we BGSU-ians have left. Ain't that news good enough for the day?

Perhaps there is no better respresentation of my situation than this very blog entry. As I write this, Lacey is sitting comfortably next to me. Even as I feel more and more independent, yet depressed, I can't quite get that magical feeling that I have of her out of my head and heart... it pains, really.

"Greed"

"I want you to myself
greedy is all I am
I want to love you forever
and show you the wrongs
I've made right

Then I want to kiss, hold,
and tell you how much
you mean to me, the world over..."

- a poem I wrote one day (hint: today)

Healing A Heart

Day 7-

Day six was a bust - I was away all day. My last day of freedom is upon me (at least, until Christmas break), and it started with a horrible, horrible, horrible drop into deep depression and angst over my former relationship with Lacey... now emerging, I present a few links that I've found helpful (more to come!):

Day 4-

Single, single, single...

It's the buzzword of the day, and I'm trying to get it as far out there as possible!

Although I'm certainly not looking for a serious relationship right now, feel free to get a hold of me if you're looking for something to do on an otherwise lonely Friday or Saturday night ;-)

Out.

"She Feeds Him..."

Day 3-

One day I'll stop writing like this...

"Memories back when she was bold and strong,
And waiting for the world to come along,
Swears she knew it, now she swears he’s gone,
She lies and says she’s in love with him, can’t find a better man..."

I hope you find a better man, Lacey-Leigh.

Friends, Lies, and You

Shit happens - and some people never grow up.

The events of the last few days have renewed my interest in a long-delayed writing project of mine, once upon a time entitled "Translucency: Special Edition" - the complete biography of a teenage relationship blossoming into full-blown love. Now that the circle is complete and I'm moving on with my life, one day I hope to reflect on the past 5 years and share my story with the world... just a little slice of love - and the pain most everyone goes through at some point.

No Tears

After my first full (and official) day as a new, reborn, single man... I only know one thing for sure: don't ever let personal demons come in between you and the woman you love. Love ot me is worth more than anything in the world, and now I'm missing it...

But...

It is a chance to get a new start, which is exactly what I'm doing. I have several goals for myself set in place, all of which are due before Christmas. I'll get back soon with a few of those ideas...

With that, it is over.

Going Places

School's almost over? What?

Four full weeks (accounting for Veteran's Day and Thanksgiving Break) are all that's left for us kids to get through until a four-week winter break.

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet.

Regrets

"Memories back when she was bold and strong,
And waiting for the world to come along,
Swears she knew it, now she swears he’s gone,

She lies and says she’s in love with him, can’t find a better man,
She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can’t find a better man,
She lies and says she still loves him, can’t find a better man..."

Damn you, Pearl Jam...
