love

You can't blame me for trying. I've gone through seasons waiting for you with nothing changing but the weather, and I want to say that I'm okay being alone and I want to show you I'm okay being alone, but even if I said it, I wouldn't mean it. To be quite honest, the only thing getting me through these days is the false hope that things are going to be okay, that they're going to get better. But without you, I'm never okay.

promise me

Promise me.
That's all I want.
Just promise me that you'll never forget me.
Tell me I changed you somehow.
Let me know I had an impact on your life.
Promise me you'll always remember me.
Losing you was hard enough,
but I don't want to go on knowing I
mean absolutely nothing to you.

for you!

You must be somewhere out there and i don't know how to find you... I think I got tired of searching for you, for me, for something I dream of... I think that's all you are, just a dream, a miracle of love, but not a real one.... my heart cries out for you and this distance is killing me... I can't reach out for you... you are tired of reaching out for me... I never find you, unless I close my eyes and dream... I never feel you unless you will ever be real...

Sometimes I hate you for not knowing all that I feel and for not keeping your promise... still you are so real... as real as your cold hand was the day you grab mine... you should never let it go.... I still care... I always will...

grab me

I want you to put out you hand
and grab for mine, while all of your
friends are watching and say
"come on baby, lets make them jealous"

unsafe

My head is made up of memeories
most of them useless and dulusions,
This room is bored of rehersal,
and sick of boundaries
I miss you so much.

“The only way to get what you really want, is to know what you really want. And the only way to know what you really want, is to know yourself. And the only way to know yourself, is to be yourself. And the only way to be yourself is to listen to your heart.”

— Henry David Thoreau

“Everyone of us is losing something precious to us. Lost opportunities, lost possibilities, feelings we can never get back again. That’s part of what it means to be alive. But inside our heads—at least that’s where I imagine it—there’s a little room where we store those memories. A room like the stacks in this library. And to understand the workings of our own heart we have to keep on making new reference cards. We have to dust things off every once in a while, let in fresh air, change the water in the flower vases. In other words, you’ll live forever in your own little private library.”

— Haruki Murakami

“You cannot create experience. You must undergo it.”

— Albert Camus

“You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don’t try to forget the mistakes, but you don’t dwell on it. You don’t let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space.”

— Johnny Cash

Walk your walk

This quote is resonating with me today, so I thought I’d pass it along. Everybody needs to go a little GaGa over something or another.

“When I wake up in the morning, I feel just like any other insecure 24-year-old girl,” she says. “Then I say, ‘Bitch, you’re Lady Gaga, you get up and walk the walk today.’ “

Tsunami hits north-eastern Japan after massive quake

Japanese television showed cars, ships and even buildings being swept away by a vast wall of water after the 8.9-magnitude earthquake.
The quake has sparked fires in several areas including Tokyo, and numerous casualties are feared.
It struck about 250 miles (400km) from the capital at a depth of 20 miles. There have been powerful aftershocks.
The tremor hit at 1446 local time (0546 GMT). Seismologists say it is one of the largest earthquakes to hit Japan for many years.

God bless all the people there and give them hope to find their relatives and friends! They will be in all my prayers!

God Hates Fuckwits.

The “God Hates Fags” family is at it again. No offense to Dorothy, Toto or anyone else in the vicinity who gets that the Phelps family is a poisonous pack of diseased feces… but honestly, Kansas… what the FUCK. Why hasn’t anyone torched their house yet?? I’m joking… I think.
I know, two wrongs don’t make a right… but when is enough finally enough, to where you settle for an even?
WHY are these people protesting at the funerals of dead soldiers? Soldiers who gave their lives for this country…  whether you believe in or support the war at all, isn’t it obvious by now that it takes some serious balls to sign on for this sort of thing?? You think YOU had a bad day because you had to wait in line at the DMV or you were called in for jury duty or solicited for the latest Direct TV special during dinner?  Tell that to the pimple-faced kid dragging an M16 around the desert in search of oil Al-Qaeda. Tell it to his mother at the funeral after they hand her a folded flag.
WHY is misinterpreted religious scripture so often the justification for acts of violence and hatred and FUCKED UP SHIT??

Why isn’t anyone doing anything about this???

Because of the First Amendment, that’s why.

Freedom of speech. Freedom of expression. Freedom to have diarrhea of the mouth and spew venom in the presence of grieving widows and mothers and fathers and brothers and children. Like a homeowner who gets assaulted by a burglar they fight off in their own defense, and are subsequently sued by for “emotional and physically distress”, we are being hung by our own noose. Suffering through this ignorance and sitting idly by as inbred fuckwits wipe their asses all over our legal doctrines and sell them back to us at the arts and crafts fair as abstract art.

What about the limitations of the laws they’re exploiting?

Or better yet… if, like me, you were absent that day year in school and couldn’t tell a doctrine from a Britney Spears record, what about just not being an asshole?? Whatever happened to that.
