Composition

You know how you, me, and everyone else always says "You know what... I just need to do it," referring to how they want to do something, but always put it off because they don't have the "right stuff"...

Impending X-Mas Doom

I'm really starting to worry about the holidays. I'm super broke, and that's a big thing to me. I LOVE giving gifts for Christmas, and this year I'm afraid I won't be able to even get anything for my ...

Defeated

Every day people ask me what's the matter, and every day I lie to them and say that everything's okay.  In fact, every time I'm asked that I'd rather punch the person in the throat than keep goin...

I am part of the problem.

How can I fix the world, if I can't fix myself? Today, and yesterday, have made me sick.  I have a 15 minute commute to work, if the traffic's clear... usually, it takes over an hour. As I came u...

It's weird to see myself in videos.

2 years ago today

2 years ago, today, I woke up for the first time as a married man. It was also one of the last days I lived in a dwelling under my name. Later that day we had a 'reception'... The "this is the only we...

The last few months.

I've picked up 2 brand new instruments for 2 different people, and neither of those people were me. I mean, I bought myself a harmonica about a month ago, but that's it. And it was because my other C ...

The older I get, the more being a human makes me sick.

Yesterday, I was watching Happy Feet, and it came to a point where Mumble gets caught and put in a Zoo. He didn't know what was going on, why the walls were there, or anything. It made me cry... it ma...
