Dream a little dream for me
When I was young, maybe about six or seven, I started to have this reoccurring nightmare about dinosaurs. Well, one dinosaur, to be specific. It was a T-Rex, of course. Is there any dino more terrifying to a small child than the flesh-ripping, prey-stalking Tyrannosaurs Rex? (My friend Nick would argue that Velociraptors are the scariest because they have tiny hands and can open up bedroom doors....

Reasons I am not currently in a good mood
Thunderstorm woke me up at 2 am last night….A THUNDERSTORM? In January? What the hell, global warming.
My cat then proceeded to meow every 15 minutes from 5 am until 7:45 am, when I finally got up.
I somehow managed to turn off my alarm and wake up 15 minutes before I had to be at work. NEVER A GOOD START TO MY DAY.
It’s raining and gross outside
I dreamed that I was in a play and...

“After a long day, you just want to go home and shove the closest edible thing into your mouth and watch whatever is on Netflix instant. And on weekends, you try to psych yourself up to go out at night but then you realize you are just so damn tired and Netflix instant sounds awesome. And there’s all that driving and like, having to wear pants.”

On occasion, there are people out there who will pay us compliments. Some more than others but I would assume most of us know what it’s like to be envied, if even for a moment, for being intelligent or creative or talented or pretty or insightful. Someone along the line has paid you a compliment and if you’re like me, you didn’t know how to take it. The words made us uncomfortable -...

Within each man is the entire human condition.
Guys, I started my non-fiction writing class and it is all. about. the “personal essay”. Memoir. Autobiography.
I couldn’t be more excited, as this is pretty much my favorite genre.
We have three personal essays due throughout the semester that we’re going to workshop in class, and I don’t want to do the cliche themes like ” the time a guy took advantage of...

I could have kissed you under cherry blossoms, pale petals drifting down like the trees wanted to pretend they could be snowclouds.
I could have kissed you in the rain, drenched to our bones and not even caring that the skies opened up above us and tried to wash us out.
I could have kissed you in a clearing in the most secluded woods, with just the sound of wind rustling through...

Apartment Chat, Take two.
After my normal blog-surfing, I have come across a blog that talks about apartment DIY projects. This blog, apartmenttherapy.com, is brilliant if you like before and after pictures of apartment renovations, and easy DIY, budget-friendly projects for your own place.
But MOSTLY it made me realize that I have an extremely under-used entry way into my apartment. They recommend turning your entry...
Equality, yes!

“Ask yourself what you are worried about if same-sex marriage is legalized. Whatever your answer is, ask yourself if you really believe what you just came up with. Homosexuality is not going to spread. It is not communicable. Society is not going to turn into a Lady Gaga video. Most gay couples I know are just as boring as you and I. They sit on the couch and watch television. They...

A few weeks ago, I received a letter in the mail from someone I do not know asking me to describe the act of falling in love. After much hesitation, I decided not to write him…
I find this to be perfect.

I’ve been meaning to wax poetic on the new year. Seems like something a writerly person is supposed to do, after all.
Here’s the thing: I love new beginnings. Clean slates and fresh perspectives are my go to solution for almost anything that’s wrong with a person. So of course I love the idea of a day that celebrates our collective ability to put the past behind us and better...

More Dan.
The person you are actually capable of loving will always be out of your league, and everybody in your league will either stop loving you or stop being loved by you. In other words:
Love is not a real thing. It’s an itch you can’t scratch. It’s greener grass. It’s a mirage. In reality, we huddle together, or we stand alone, and in either case, we will always have to wonder:
“What if I...

thanks Dan Harmon.
” I don’t like myself very much. I need to say that on some kind of record and then I’m fine for hours or days. You can’t say it to a real person, they’ll just say, “that’s okay,” or “you should” or “you shouldn’t,” they’ll react, they’ll move, they’ll strategize, they’ll try to adjust me or they’ll run away. I don’t want it refuted or debated or therapeutically massaged. It’s not a...

Coffee Lips
clover91:
The coffee is sitting on the back of my tongue as if to remind me how your lips tasted. The bitter taste finds a way to stick onto my teeth reminding me of when we used to sit at this coffee shop and talk about infinity. We would drink until we could feel the caffeine pulse through our heartbeats, making our eyes blood shot. The rush made you hyper and you would begin to talk in fast...

Nostalgia of senior year/GVSU
I’m having this intense flashback right now to this moment right around Christmastime my senior year of college at gvsu. I was sitting on one of our 2 couches (they were SO comfortable; amazing for naps, and I am interminably sad they couldn’t/didn’t follow me to Illinois). I had the coffee table pulled up to the couch and I had dozens of pages of research spread out in front of...

It’s a terrible burden to place on our loved ones to make us happy, considering we’re so incapable of making our own selves happy.

She is very possessive and love is something she can never share. She can be very jealous even at the slightest of suspicion. In case you have a female secretary, it is better to bid her good bye right now. If an Aries girl gets hurt, she will become as cold as the ice in your fridge and this behavior may last an entire lifetime. She is generous to the ...

I feel so fucking alone right now. Not just physically, but in the sense that it feels like there isn’t anyone who even cares. That’s true loneliness.
but then I don't..
I wish I could get rid of this sinking feeling of hopelessness..
And self-destructiveness..
and just general self-loathing.
But I get the sense it will be here awhile.
