Porch Swing

My thoughts are uneasy and I feel restless.
I grab my pillow and head to the porch swing out front.

I'm surrounded by the dark silhouettes of trees,
The city lights throughout the valley can be seen in the distance.
Lightning strikes over the towering mountains illuminating the night sky,
The summer breeze is cool and the scent of rain can be smelt in the air.
The sweet sound of music quietly plays in my ears,
To me it is not so quiet however.
The lyrics stir up thoughts and memories,
Most of which are comforting and good.
The mosquito bites up and down my legs cannot tempt me to retire inside,
The simplistic beauty I find in everything surrounding me at that moment will not allow it.

It is here that I am in control;
It is here that I am at peace;
It is here that I feel at home.

Some Changes Are About To Go Down 2

I finally feel the changes I set out to accomplish have been satisfied. This blog now feels complete, for the time being. Welcome aboard Jill! I'm happy to have you on our side.

some people have way too much confidence in me

i'm IN

!

i feel so much pressure

like when someone needy gives you a really awesome compliment

and you can't make the return.

but in the infamous words of my sixteen year old friend Sam to his first girlfriend, as he leaned in for his first kiss--

i'm scared

but i'm ready.

here is a poem i wrote

at least i think i wrote it.

it was scribbled in my notebook and it's to lame to be anyone else's.

he slipped the book

gingerly open

As Much As I Wish It Were Possible

Man cannot live alone on Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and string cheese.

Wishful Thinking

It's a dangerous thing and I suggest it be avoided at all costs. It can only lead to heartache, sorrow, and suffering. Unless of course it concerns the fact that you think men and women should still curtsy and bow when greeting one another. I don't see the harm in that.

Confessions of a Laughaholic

Cackle. Laugh. Cynical laugh. Cackle. Giggle. Giggle. Snicker.

A Little Inception, A Little Logic

How are the films Batman Begins and Inception linked? It's more than the fact the two share the same director. Upon dissolving the family empire, Mr. Fischer follows his life long dream to become a psychiatrist. He changes his name to avoid recognition of his past life and - after completing his studies - moves to Gotham City where eventually he loses track of reality (as a result of his inception and all that "Limbo" mumbo jumbo), becoming the Scarecrow in the process. The movie makes so much sense now!

What Will Hollywood Think Of (Or Rip Off) Next

So what happens exactly when you leave the guidance you get from Fidelity and venture away from that little green line? You get a blockbuster hit of course! Ladies and gentlemen! May I present to you "The Adjustment Bureau!"

Might I suggest you stay on that line if you're a Fidelity customer. It just doesn't seem worth the trouble to wander off. Just ask Matt Damon.

Nilbog

Of course it would be the locale for the Kingdom of the Goblins! How could I have over looked the obvious? At least now I know where to go when I'm in the market for some curdled milk.

Some Changes Are About to Go Down

Change is good. Harold Wilson once said, "He who rejects change is the architect of decay. The only human institution which rejects progress is the cemetery." The point I'm trying to make is that I've been slacking on my blog and it is time I do something about it. So I have decided to add an additional author to my blog upon his request and know that he will bring a lot of wiser - and more random - thoughts than I could ever conjure up. I just hope he doesn't make me look too bad. Welcome aboard Nic!
