I Walk Home At Night About 3 Times a Week
From work, from teaching religious ed, whatever I have to do. Thing is, I always have to pass this tiny, brick office building that’s on the corner of my street. If I’m there before 6, the lights’ll usually be on in the building and some people will still be at their desks. The third window I pass always has the shades open so in the daytime the guy inside can see out, but at...

Tied Down At 17
Well…not literally. Not even meaning the most common idea connected with that statement. There are no physical ropes. There is no wedding.
But…I still feel trapped.
I don’t know about anyone else, but I always wanted to be able to walk off and disappear. Take a train anywhere and just see where I ended up. Road trip across the country just for the fun of it. Have an adventure....

When I was a kid, I wanted to be a bus driver.
Or a truck driver. Or a regular ol’ waitress at a diner. Something totally normal and nondescript. Something unassuming. Something that everybody wouldn’t like twice at. Something that everyone would take for granted when they were feelin’ great.
And then, on the days that they were feeling like total shit, I’d still be there to give them a free cup of coffee, waive their...

I resist you just like this

I'll Tell You A Secret
Every damn teenager, young adult, person in general has an issue. Or more specifically, issues.
That moron who sits across the room from you in class? He/She goes home every night and more often than not, wants to just die. Yes, that moron. The prep. The jock. The idiot. The dork. Whatever you’re calling them in your head or out loud. All of them have the capacity to be hurt just as much...

Way too many times
When it deserved to be alive...”

There’s so much that I’ll never get to do.
Don't judge me.
I just figured out how to “reblog.”
After February break, I want to start a Dungeons...
I miss playing D&D, it’s fun! I just need time to come up with a complete campaign plan. I already know that there will be pirates. Anyone interested?

Here you can find most of the books we’ve had to read in school condensed from 1-5 months of analyzing and testing and paper-writing to a couple of sentences.

All those big long books you might be meaning to get around to in a few short and funny sentences. Happy “reading”.

What if they can do it too?
“May all your dreams come true.”
Not all dreams are good dreams. If dreams can come true, why can’t nightmares? Nothing’s stopping them. If anything, they’ll be pushing harder against the walls of your mind to break out. If dreams could come true I would never sleep again for fear of what I might subconsciously create.

One of the coolest things is being in a plane...
Look out the window. You’re in this protected bubble of light and relative comfort while out there it’s empty and black with a few pinpricks of light in the distance. The night’s scary and dark. Who knows what’s out there? I wonder if that’s what space is like. Maybe space looks fuller with all those stars out there. More friendly. I don’t know.

Do you ever feel like it’s not going to last?
Like soon it’ll all be over and the next thing is coming and it’s a whole new world.
You don’t know anything about this world.
You know you belong here, but you don’t know why or how.
Somehow it makes sense, but only in the back of your head so you don’t go crazy.
What you know now is going to be flipped...
