I was in kind of a state of confusion when I was around 18. I think most young men that age are, for different reasons. Moving on from school into real life. Sometimes fully separating yourself from your loved ones. Trying to turn yourself to loving other ones. I was going through some of that and not experiencing the other of it, I was lucky ( Read more... )

I'm looking for answers in my hands. Scratching my head. It's quiet for a long time. She's sitting across from me because she knows I need the space. But she's examining every moment passing in the silence, holding onto that silence as being just as important as any words I'd be filling it with, if I'd been ready to say something then. But I'm ( Read more... )

A fairy tale or fairy story is a fictional story that usually features folkloric characters (such as fairies, goblins, elves, trolls, witches, giants, and talking animals) and enchantments, often involving a far-fetched sequence of events. In modern-day parlance, the term is also used to describe to something blessed with unusual happiness, as in " ( Read more... )

It's around 3 or so in the morning. I'm fumbling to get my key when the door opens in front of me. She heard me coming in. And she almost knocks me over, throwing her arms around my neck.

"It was in our bed! I couldn't find it! I can't even go back in there!"And I'm sleepy, so my mind isn't working properly. I'm thinking lions, tigers, and bears ( Read more... )

"Give me a time machine."Time travel. I think it always ends up sounding like a good idea when things aren't going so well. I'd stop here, I'd fix this, I'd change that, I'd back-up there. Who knows where it would take you when you got back ( Read more... )

When I get upset, I shut up. I shut off. I close up. And I go in. That's probably how I've been since I was a kid, and there's no real way around any of it. I've had people try to pull me out from dark holes, but when I'm there, I'm there to hang out for a while. I'm pretty good at pretending I don't need anything, I even convince myself of it ( Read more... )

The lights are dimmed. There are flowers everywhere. We're all facing forward and listening as words are spoken by one person that barely knew her, and it's always seemed funny to me to have that be the way to do it. But it's religion for some people, and I won't knock it for those who follow it. Almost all the faces around me are somber except for ( Read more... )

I figured I should actually post the entry I wrote weeks ago, so here ( Read more... )

What is she thinking?

It was a common thought of my own as we were there, during the times I was actually around her. When I wasn't so focused on the project that I've been trying to put together for some time now. Something I've written and will be directing at some point this year, hopefully more sooner than later. Something I've taken a lot of ( Read more... )

I'd never seen Pretty Woman. And I know that's going to get the same reaction as if I'd opened this entry by saying "I just murdered someone", but it's true. I don't know how I'd gone my whole life without ever sitting down and watching that movie, but until this afternoon, I hadn't done so. It's not that I can't handle love stories, I've watched ( Read more... )
