how things stay the same

You know what's funny? Reading online diaries of pre-pubescent youths ranting on and on about the boy/girl they like in 3rd period English class, how he/she looked in their direction and did some sort of half smile. Then how later in the day they caught him/her ass-grab the class slut right in the middle of the hallway. And how demolished it made him/her feel, so much that he/she vowed never to love again. It's funny how they obsess about such trivial things...

...oh wait, I just described me...

sigh.

my hell

I can feel my soul escaping the monotony of this place and leaving me here empty and alone.

Radiation waves from this computer screen are melting away my retinas and burning images of hell into my corneas. Now, even as I close my eyes, I can see the inverse image floating against the insides of my eyelids.

At least I can still listen to the Rolling Stones as my brain melts out my ears.

creative outlets

I started a new hobby. It was inspired by my trip to Rhode Island this past weekend.

I went in so many cute shops full of local artists' treasures, and galleries of fantastic paintings and photographs. While I was browsing through all the items, I thought to myself, "I can do that!"

So last night, I rushed out to Michael's craft store and bought a bunch of glass beads, string, wire and various other tools. I'm going to make my own jewelry. And I sat down and put together a really pretty necklace. It came out really well, if I do say so myself. I think I found what I will be making for my Christmas gifts this year.

Ironically, at lunch today there was a vendor selling jewelry. The beaded necklaces were selling for $31 to $171!! Earrings were around $15. Hmm.... this could be a lucrative little business for me. What if I make a bunch of stuff, and enroll myself in the holiday craft fairs...and showcase some of my photographs all framed and matted...and some handpainted treasure boxes....?

I think I found the creative outlet that I was looking for. Now this stupid job of mine is getting in the way.

music in my head

May God bless and keep you always,
May your wishes all come true,
May you always do for others
And let others do for you.
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.

May you grow up to be righteous,
May you grow up to be true,
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you.
May you always be courageous,
Stand upright and be strong,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.

May your hands always be busy,
May your feet always be swift,
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift.
May your heart always be joyful,
May your song always be sung,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.

"Forever Young" - Bob Dylan
