I’ve had one of the greatest weeks this school year.
It started with a 7 hour train ride, bonding with random strangers with the same home town.
It began officially with the tight grasp of my arms around her body, her breath in my ear, as the cold air consumed us.
Every morning has been paradise waking up and seeing that she is right next to me. (The morning sex is great.)
There is...

This is my 901st post.
Not too big of an anniversary, as I’m only a hundred away from 1000, but hey, why not celebrate something out of the ordinary?
Here’s to you,
Cheers!

I hate to admit that I am forgetting about silence.
The lack of sound, the lack of movement, the lack of everything really; silence.
Even walking to campus during sunset, the almost perfect evening shining on my face was only augmented by the sound Flying Lotus thumping in my ears.
It’s funny, libraries are quiet, and so badly I want to go and defile that.
You taught me silence, to a...

God damn you [adult swim]! I will never know what glorious music is in your bump ads! You show like 15 seconds of unmemorable text with amazing music and imagine that I can miraculously find that on google?

As word after word mounted onto each other to make a sentence, the suspense became worse and worse. You know that feeling you get when you know that something is awry, maybe even wrong? Command center was ordering that feeling by the metric ton.
Forcing myself to slow down, I cleaned my room out of nervousness. Its odd how you don’t even know what your doing until youre almost finished with...

Sonnet 29
When in disgrace with Fortune and men’s eyes, I all alone beweep my outcast state, And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries, And look upon myself and curse my fate, Wishing me like to one more rich in hope, Featured like him, like him with friends possess’d, Desiring this man’s art, and that man’s scope, With what I most enjoy contented least. Yet in these thoughts...

I have a feeling I’ll need you tonight.
I can’t help what defenses may do to a collection of neurons, but I know that they can’t last forever.
Reality has to settle in sometime, even though it knows its an unwelcome guest.

I’m bad with words.
They don’t work out like text usually. Even if I can’t go back and correct text, it still flows a little more naturally than words do.
With words, spoken phrases, things get jumbled and confused. Connotation and facial expressions and body language all play against each other to try and portray the same idea, and that usually doesnt end well.
Add that to...

I just finished The Hunger Games series about 10 minutes ago, and I am infuriated. I feel like that ending broke style, broke character, broke everything that the book had led up to create. It seemed almost like an after thought. A brilliant, terrifying, afterthought. I guess it’s good that this book evoked so much emotion, and had me hooked up until the very end, and was full of quite a few...

I honestly didnt mean to take it that causally, but the air of seriousness just wasnt fitting, like someone in a tux at a BBQ.
There are so many things I could say, so many phrases that have bludgeoned to death by people far and wide. Hell, even I tend to use words too often. It’s hard to remember that they are in fact a precious resource, and that they grow more valuable with age.
I want...

I boxed someone tonight.
Here I sit, with toothbrush in hand, and my face hurts. It wasn’t knuckles, thank god, but instead gloves, and it was fucking fun.
In a sobering state, I watched the video of two exposed bodies box it out.
It was extremely fun, feeling the rush of flight or fight take over as I dodge and try to weave my way around. Of course, in an inebriated state, this...

Droopy eye lids are a great sign.
It seems that the little traps we call beds will once again groan at my departure in the morning. If only it knew just how much I longed for it during the day, then maybe we wouldnt have this love hate relationship going on. But alas, when my head slumps on the pillow, the sleep doesnt come.
Little blue pills in a noisy bottle seem to help temporarily. And who...

Kurt Vonnegut’s Tips for Writing Fiction
Use the time of a total stranger in such a way that he or she will not feel the time was wasted.
Give the reader at least one character he or she can root for.
Every character should want something, even if it is only a glass of water.
Every sentence must do one of two things-reveal character or advance the action.
Start as close to the end as...

Its funny how quick something can change, or how little it takes to facillitate change.
One can survive the storms, the bitter cold, and the soaking of heads from unrelenting rain, and yet all it takes is a bad occurrence to throw yourself into the gutter.
Time is an extremely important at this hour. While your body screams for action, even the outer reaches of your primal mind beg for it, but...

One hell of a night.
Started with some back and forth partying. Our neighbors had a huge things going on, so we would party hop between our place and theirs.
As the night raged on, so did we. It was plenty fun staying sober and watching the drunken mobs below pass by. Leland and I watched and watched as throngs of stumbling faces passed.
Again, party hopping, and now the parties themselves...
