Is This How It Feels?

-
Is this how it feels?
To wake each morning with the sun
To feel it as others feel it
Is this how you feel it?
To wake each morning with the sun
Spilling over the horizon with rays of pink and gold
Lighting the morning mist that creeps across the plains
The dew that clings to every morsel
Is this how it feels?

Is this how it feels?
To tumble from a bed
Where sleep is a thing that eats your time
Where exhausted you fall into a pit
Where the ground grows over you as you dream of wretched things
Where blankets cling like vines that tried to strangle you in the night
Where you slog through muck to make the money you’ve already spent
Where home is a second job and all you crave is to break away

Is this how it feels?
Is this what I stayed for?
Is this why everyone bothers?
Why does everyone bother?
Is this how it feels to be a face in the crowd?
To be faceless

To stay so busy that you don’t notice
To plan time when you must run from your life, in order to survive it
To continue on when we don’t care
To have children
To lie to them
About life
About time
About what it will be
About what they will be
About why we do it
Why do we do it?

Why do we continue?
Why do we pretend we care?

Mindless, soulless
Is this how it feels to all of you?

There is no such thing as "racism"

Do you know what one of the main problems is with modern day society? We're taught not to discriminate based on race. And while that might seem like a good thing, and you might be rather outraged right now, the entire concept is fundamentally flawed. The problem is that teaching people this concept instills them with the idea that there is such a thing as "race." There isn't. "Race" is a socially construct based on a person physical appearance or geographic location. Genetically, there is no basic difference between one person and the next. Obviously, because we're all different, there are genetic deviations. But there is nothing to establish "race." There might be differences based on a person's ancestral geographic home, where an entire group of people gathered in a specific type of environment and procreated based out of a small genetic pool. And there might be physical differences because of those environments and the extensive amount o

OF ALL THE STUPID @#$%^*&(*%$#@!@#$^%&*((*&^%$#Q@$#$%&*^&()) I HATE when I do that. I accidently deleted everything I was working on. So I apologize 'cause I'm not writing it again. I'll give you the short version of everything I was gonna say. 1. Fear Factor has little to do with fear, it should be called Stunt Factor...and it sucks 2. Comedies are too sappy, but only some of them suck 3. My buddies at Cinescape don't suck, and here's a nice shout-out for them: Osirus, Jakester, Rosetta, Meathead, Skiv, Wallflower, Neglet, Fredcomics, Rexxax or Rezzax or something like that, umm......Daforce, Slamshut, LeiterCIA, and I know I'm missing a ton but in no way am I trying to diss you, I just have a really crappy memory 4. Had a nice little chat the other night got to talk to some great people, so shout out to them (Luigi, BeauBetabi aka Cool Guy, Mr. Black, and I think that's everyone who was from CA) 5. People I miss from CA: A

A Round of Applause

I have to say, I'm impressed. I wasn't sure they could do it. But they managed to make my life worse. It was quite ingenious really. First, they get my hopes up by having my parents tell me they'll lend me the gas money to get home, and that I can live with them until I get back on my feet. Nice, right? The only thing I have to do is get out of my lease. No problem, I think. I mean, it's a college town. Most of these apartments are studios, so they're filled with mostly college students. I'm sure my landlords are used to having tenants who get into financial trouble and have to leave. If I'm lucky, I could even get my deposit back. Which would be enough to take care of my ticket, my electric bill, and any other bills that absolutely needed paid. Why, I'd even have enough left over to do my laundry. Maybe even buy a cheeseburger. Ah, but hope was dashed. So very clever. You see, I can get out of my lease, and even get my deposit back, but only, ONLY if I

Are you pondering what I'm pondering?

So I saw this sign on a guy’s door: 21 Reasons Why “Star Wars” is Better Than “Titanic” I mean, is there actually someone out there who needs a list to explain it? Let alone 21 reasons. And while we’re at it: if you’re stuck in the middle, with clowns on the left of you and jokers on the right, where are you? And why, when shooting at things that aren’t affected by bullets, do people waste an entire clip trying to kill it? And why, when they’re running out of ammo while fighting the Jaffa, doesn’t SG-1 just pick up all the staff weapons from the corpses and fight with those? And speaking of "Unleashed," which we weren't, it was nice to see that they gave a girl a chance to kick some ass. Even if she ultimately sucked at it. Narf.

Fending off Panic

I have absolutely no idea how I'm going to make my rent for next month. $280 in a week and a half. Even if I got a job now, I still wouldn't get paid till at least the week after it was due. And I'd have to be working a full time job to make enough, anyway. Not to mention all the bills I have. And I don't even have enough money to bail and go home. I have enough money to maybe, maybe , get halfway. Although, I don't have enough room in my car for all my stuff, anyway. And "I cna't pay my rent" might not be a good enough reason to get out of my lease. So I have no idea what the hell I'm going to do. If you have any ideas, let me know. Life really sucks right now.

The Two Seperate Categories of Evil and Ken Jennings

So the other day, Saturday or something, I made a chocolate cake (Devil's food) and it was from a box, but it now has a full cup of pudding! Anyway, so I then added some chocolate chips, and made buttercream frosting, which is excellent by the way. And while I'm making this, from the point of getting out a stick of butter to the final frosting, Sara frequently reminds me that I'm evil, and I also remind her of that fact because I know how much she enjoys calling me evil. I think she is most fond of it right after I've handed her a no-longer needed utensil that is covered in either batter or frosting. But the point. Sara comments on how she's going to gather all of her self-control and not eat a bunch of it. Well, fortunately for her, I apparently am not immune to my own evil. The Cake is Gone. But now, on to Ken Jennings, who despite what you might be thinking, has no relation to the evil topic. I simply want to state that this man is much, much smarter than we all

I know, I know. It's been over a month since I posted. I'm sorry. Really! ... ... ... Okay, so not really. Not to mention, I did warn you all that I was now in Bad Internet Territory and I wouldn't be posting as much...at least, I think I warned you. Maybe that was someone else... Anyway, I posting now. So get over it. Plus Ringo has been bugging me about updating. Look I updated! Happy? No? Well, then it's probably got nothing to do with me. So: news: Ringo got a job. Yay! John went to London. Yay! John came back....not sure if that's a yay. I'll have to wait and see what she got me. Umm. Work is good. Home is...well, if you know me, then you know that answer to that. I'm good. Today's my birthday. The Pistons won the NBA Finals. Dogdeball is a really, really funny movie. What? What did I say a minute ago? Ummm...the Pistons won the NBA Finals? Before that? I'm good? Birthday? No, I didn't say anything about
