Reignite
It has been some time since I have last updated my Livejournal. To be honest it has been a long time since I’ve done any sort of writing. School wears me out. As soon as I battle through that last week of the semester, I drop everything school-related, including reading and writing - two hobbies that I should love doing. And I do, for the most ( Read more... ) -
The Slide, the Fail, the Veil: The Detroit Collapse Complete
While watching the Tigers on Tuesday night, I was reminded of that magical season in 2006 that ended at the World Series. To witness that season, the post season, and, yes, even the defeat at the World Series, was a thrilling experience and one of the greatest moments sports has given me. Unfortunately, the Detroit Tigers came up short this ( Read more... ) -
The Boy Bothered by Fear and the Man Married to It
With a single stroke of a sword, a hero can stifle evil. With a tremendous thrust of courage, a hero can tame the tumultuous tendencies of humanity.

When the Water Comes, I Will Overflow
When the Sun doesn't shine, neither do I. Today is dreary. It hasn't been tremendously bad, but lately I've been in one of those moods.

Epitome of Confusion
The epitome is the very essence of what is being conveyed. The quintessential meaning, idea, or thought wished to be expressed. At the quintessential point of confusion, one becomes compelled to answer the questions that have ravaged the mind.

The Chaos of Love
Somethings never die. Whether you force yourself to let go of something detrimental in your life, or you escape for the first time to new territory: it doesn't matter. We never change. All we really do is throw more masks over who we really are.
Love is the perfect paradox of the human condition. It is universal yet personal. It is ( Read more... ) -
Evolve
Change. Some despise it, others welcome the unexpect;ed; nevertheless, it is difficult to do. We think we can, but we ( Read more... ) -
Fury and the Fatal Flaw
What does it mean to be angry? What does it mean to become enraged? The human condition can create an intense array of emotions, one of the most dominant being anger. No matter who it is, every human must cope with anger at some point in their life. Yet the final evolution of anger is wrath. And wrath is deadly. It is the fatal flaw. The one ( Read more... ) -
Fire
A fire begins as a flame, kindled into creation by a keeper of either known or unknown intent. Whether they will it or wish it is hardly a choice, for it's just a matter of fate. It is how it is, really. This particular fire started months ago, but has recently metamorphosed into a conflagration of desire. Have you ever craved for ( Read more... )
