I’m a wanderer I have no place or time
I’m just drifting on this lonely road of mine

December 31, 2008Article on how soap operas/chick flicks create unrealistic expectations for relationships. In other words, what all us guys already knew…
“They found fans of films such as Runaway Bride and Notting Hill often fail to communicate with their partner.
Many held the view if someone is meant to be with you, then they should know what you want without you telling them.”

December 30, 2008I’m a mile away from where I belong, and I’m a
mile away from home. I’m lying awake at the
thought of you gone, and I’m a mile away from home.

“He liked occasionally to get the chance to beat people up, but otherwise all he asked was regular pay and two days off every week to devote to his enthusiasms, which were vodka and colouring books.”

December 29, 2008“How many times can I break till I shatter?
Over the line can’t define what I’m after
I always turn the car around
Give me a break let me make my own pattern
All that it takes is some time but I’m shattered
I always turn the car around.”

December 29, 2008I’ve never asked for this.
I lie.
I asked every day, with prayers that dripped off my lips and ascended into heaven.
I always asked for this.
But I didn’t understand -
like a child begging to be an adult
only to become an adult begging to be a child again
I didn’t comprehend
I didn’t know how heavy the expectations would be -
when I asked to carry them
when I called out, challenging the world to give me more
I didn’t realize she was listening
And now I’m haunted
forever convinced that this
is only the prelude to something bigger
that I’m on the precipice looking over
and there’s nowhere to go but
I take pride in the calling
So I close my eyes
jump over
and I’m falling
