Please be kind if I'm a mess.
My cousin just drunk-dialed me for the third weekend in a row, and he’s an emotional trainwreck.
My ex won’t speak to me.
My ex likes my roommate. (Sounds like a bad soap opera).
I haven’t had the chance to talk to my best friend in two weeks.
The boy that I like is oblivious, and I doubt he has any real interest in me. I have one week to decide if I am going to ask him to...
Clearly, I am a lost cause.
(Ben Harper, Waiting on Angel)
Waiting on an angel One to carry me home Hope you come to see me soon Cause I dont want to go alone I dont want to go alone Now angel wont you come by me Angel hear my plea Take my hand lift me up So that I can fly with thee So that I can fly with thee And I’m waiting on an angel And I know it won’t be long To find myself a resting place In my...

if everything happens that can't be done (and anything's righter than books could plan) the stupidest teacher will almost guess (with a run skip around we go yes) there's nothing as something as one one hasn't a why or because or although (and buds know better than books don't grow) one's anything old being everything new (with a what which around we go who) one's everyanything so so world is a...

From Nature, by Ralph Waldo Emerson
But if a man would be alone, let him look at the stars. The rays that come from those heavenly worlds, will separate between him and what he touches. One might think the atmosphere was made transparent with this design, to give man, in the heavenly bodies, the perpetual presence of the sublime. If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how would men believe and adore; and preserve...
China Roses, Enya
One told me of china roses, One a thousand nights and one night, Earths last picture, the end of evening: Hue of indigo and blue.
People
I was on a 25 minute bus ride, which was ample time for people-watching… inner city, winter, 8pm. My favorite person was an older gentleman with a white beard. He was wearing a green Sierra Club jacket, slacks, and a golf hat. His large glasses were halfway down his nose, and he was intently reading a magazine. I wish I could have captured the moment. Amid the grumpy workers, mothers...

My Dream Life
I got to thinking… in 5 years, I don’t know where I want to be, or what I hope to be doing for a job, but…. I know what my house should look like.
It will be a small apartment on a quiet street. It will be the type of place with hardwood floors that have been refinished over and over again, with that worn, uneven grain of wood stain and gloss. There will be coat hangers on...

it may not always be so;and i say that if your lips,which i have loved,should touch another's,and your dear strong fingers clutch his heart,as mine in time not far away; if on another's face your sweet hair lay in such a silence as i know,or such great writhing words as,uttering overmuch, stand helplessly before the spirit at bay; if this should be,i say if this should be- you of my heart,send me...

“The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what’s right
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
I seek to cure whats deep inside, frightened of this thing that I’ve become
It’s gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There’s nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the...

Holding Out for a Hero, Bonnie Tyler
Where have all the good men gone And where are all the gods? Where’s the street-wise Hercules To fight the rising odds? Isn’t there a white knight upon a fiery steed? Late at night I toss and turn and dream of what I need I need a hero I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the end of the night He’s gotta be strong And he’s gotta be fast And he’s gotta...

On Friendship, from Sirach
“A kind mouth multiplies friends, and gracious lips prompt friendly greetings.Let your acquaintances be many, but one in a thousand your confidant. “When you gain a friend, first test him, and be not too ready to trust him. For one sort of friend is a friend when it suits him, but he will not be with you in time of distress. Another is a friend who becomes an enemy, and tells of the...

It’s hit or miss, with some cool people and some real weirdos, kinda like meeting singles at a bar… …except there’s no bar… …mmm, and no person sitting across from or beside you… …and you’re pretty much guaranteed to go to bed alone at the end of the night… …and the competition...
