Unerring Deliberations

Henry Thoreau once wrote, "It is not what you look at, but what you see."

I wonder if he kept in mind biased individuals.

I can't blame myself for who I am. I can only do what I do best, which is be me.

Laugh. Cry. Feel. No, they are not the same.

It's the pain we all run and fear.

Whether or not you think you know someone, the chances are greater you truly do not.

Might as well snicker at those who choose to pick off layers they've assigned you.

We waste too much time nit picking at the triviality of things.

Embrace fear. Embrace chance. Embrace the impossible. Embrace this.

The significance of a moment, a person, a laugh. It's all the same.

I've often wondered why I set the clock half hour ahead.

In fact, I know there's a somewhat rational motive, but here I am illogically living in the past.

The people I could have seen, the places I could have been...

Playing around with iambic pentameter, and fucking up rhythmic variations.

Hell, John Milton did it in Paradise Lost.

(Shuddering) Who in the hell reads Paradise Lost??

Where are the coteries of British author enthusiasts?

Shall I cease the search for the literati?

Are there membership fees? I don't remember my password.

Have I gone mad? Simply put: I've too many distractions. All to hide from myself.

Wickedly unaware. Has ennui found refuge in my pen?

To write a squib or not to write a squib. That's my choice.

Yes, that sums it up.

Is this the beginning of an ineffable fate?

Have the bloggers gone into a state of stolidness?

Bugger off.

I've never left.

There's much adulation for the arts these days.

Fat Pig?

City Paper. DCist. The Post.

Chagrin. Zip code doesn't match circulation of above.

I've never left.

Amid the distractions, come a solemn bravado.

Yes, that's more like it.

What If

what if there was no light
nothing wrong nothing right
what if there was no time
and no reason or rhyme
what if you should decide
that you don't want me there by your side
that you don't want me there in your life

what if i got it wrong
and no poem or song
could put right what i got wrong
or make you feel i belong
what if you should decide
that you don't want me there by your side
that you don't want me there in your life

ooh that's right
let's take a breath jump over the side
ooh that's right
how can you know it if you don't even try
ooh that's right

every step that you take
could be your biggest mistake
it could bend or it could break
but that's the risk that you take
what if you should decide
that you don't want me there in your life
that you don't want me there by your side

ooh that's right
let's take a breath jump over the side
ooh that's right
how can you know it when you don't even try
ooh that's right

ooh that's right
let's take a breath jump over the side
ooh that's right
you know that darkness always turns into light
ooh that's right


...These lyrics are for you. Sometimes we take risks in life, sometimes we get hurt. But just remember that fear is a soul sickness unto itself, and it will eat you alive if you let it. It very nearly ate me alive, but this song saved me. Now I am in the middle of taking a HUGE risk, and it's a great feeling. Hope this message finds you well.
