Another Uncreative Title

Everytime I think I could just write what I am thinking down, I feel my mind release and relax, the very thought of it sooths my mind so completely it's hard to describe. Writing is my crack. No matter how long I stop writing, I will always go back for more or think about it constantly. I wish I had something to record all of my thoughts.

Isn't that what paper is for? And the pen too?
 
Many times I have tried to create a symbolic meaning to paper and pen, but every time I fail. I have so many little notes, even pages, of things that they symbolize to me, but it doesn't quite hit what I am trying to say. I concider paper, real or virtual, to be my best friend. How is paper to judge me? It doesn't talk, it listens, and when I review what I have told it, I get advice. Pens are a way of communicating with paper, every friend is different, therefore a different method of talking is needed with each. With Paper it is pen; pen is my voice, the tool I use to confess things that would otherwise just be left to torture my mind. The only way Paper can be unloyal is through my fault or the fault of someone snooping. Paper doesn't talk unless you read pen's markings; my voice of a different kind. Perhaps, Pen is a good friend too. Most people underestimate the power of a Paper and a Pen. Everyone should have a friend like Paper and Pen. Two loyal friends. Neither will speak without the other. What good is Paper without the markings of Pen? What good is Pen without Paper to share thoughts? Tools of unbelievable expression. Can't you paint on Paper? Can't you write music on Paper? Can't you draw on Paper? Yes. Often times, people overlook these two seemingly common and simple tools. Imagine life without it. Without the ability to capture what you were thinking because someone didn't want Paper anymore or Pen. How bleak. How expressionless. Books. Magazines. History. Written on Paper with Writing Stick.

Some thoughts tonight...

I find it somewhat amazing how much time I spend on my computer, so much wasted time. I used to sit at my computer and just write. All day long. Literally, if you couldn't tell from when I used to blog all the time. I think youtube is the main cause in this, so I am mainly just going to be going onto youtube to post videos, but I am going to try not to watch them. Meaning videos in general. I am just sick of not writing, I don't feel connected to myself anymore and so it is more difficult to just sit and write. I feel that I am not allowed to express myself when I do feel something too. I have kept my true self away. It doesn't make sense and I know I should do something to change it, so I am thinking that I will.
 
I can't even think of anything right now. I keep on trying to find something, but nothing comes about. Nothing. Just breathe in and out, in and out, in and out. Remember to blink. Remember to seem like you feel something, when you don't. This is what my mind repeats to me. And yet. I am not depressed totally nor am I happy. I am just here. My days blend together in a routine. Wake up, scold the dog for tearing through the trash, feed the animals, take the dog out, eat, get ready, go to work, come home, go to the mall to visit Leif at work, come home to sit up on the computer watching youtube videos wanting to write something inspirational; but nothing ever gets written. Nothing. Ever. This is my exsistance. I long to write again, like I once did, where I was actually starting to get good. I believe that part of my fall from writing near daily, no hourly, is the crash of journalspace.com, the original one that I bloged at, in secret, for those thoughts I didn't want my friends knowing. I felt inspired there and part of something bigger and I even had some really amazing writers coming to my page, usually at least ONE PERSON commented on a blog. It didn't matter if it was the same person or even that it was just one simple comment. What mattered was feeling like I was being heard and possibly making a difference in someones life. Maybe someone there took something from it, commenting and typing that they liked it, but this is what I should work on was amazing. I loved it so much there. Sadly, someone hacked the site and completely destroyed everyone and everyone has now gone their seperate ways, as groups of people do when their main tie is torn from them.
 
I wish that it wasn't like that. Things are made with time, broken in one movement - a moment, and may never be fixed again. Even when it is fixed, it gives it a new look and a new feel; there is something almost distorted, the way it looks now. Somehow if friendship is broken and trust is lost and built anew, the old feeling of relability evaporated, at least that is how it feels from this perspective. Once a trust is faded, it will never be the same again, the quality and the meaning won't be worth as much as the untarnished trust of the past. The past. I don't seem to focus on that so much anymore. I am slowly learning that life just goes and you can either stop and stare while time is moving or move with it. Or is it that I have had no thoughts of my own expression for some time now? No real in the moment lost in my own world, just sitting mindlessly typing in my word document. I have had thoughts of my own, but they are the auto-pilot thoughts. "I shouldn't say that because of this" "I should do this because it is what I am supposed to do." What am I supposed to do...? Am I supposed to take this, this thing I feel is a type of abuse? Me, myself, and I cause myself to go into this mode of yes no yes no yes no. Why.  I hate it. I do. Hate is about the only thing I feel these days. I don't feel anything. I am actually getting really angry because I know how I sound on auto-pilot. I don't need people making fun of me for it. It's hard for me to hang out with people because they make comments, jabs here and there about how I say this a lot or do something strange. I am sick of people telling me what I am always, always, doing wrong. I can't stand being around most people I know just because I am too tired and so sick and so close to tears when people jsut jab at me. I don't like hearing, all the time, how many things I do wrong or how often I say a phrase. I understand. I fuck up. Clue though: Everybody, including you, fuck up. I don't like that people point fingers at someone; you are the sorce of the problem since you slipped one time. Well, what about the big mess you made before? It was fixed. It was done. I am still focusing on those kinds of things from the past. But a big part of my past has been shut out. No thoughts really go towards that direction, which is fine, but my past was my writing, as was my present, but if my present is dull and a routine, then what kind of poems will I make? Why can't my mind travel anymore? Maybe I need to just do this more; a blog just me rambling. Meaning to myself, but not to other people. That is fine for this. For myself to gain something, emotion, back then I will try this more. Recently I have been able to feel nervous, something I haven't felt in a good two months. Not at random at least. Anyways. I am going to go.

Bye-Bye,

Blah Blah Blah Blog

I am kind of bored and my dog is a fuckhead. I am at work, just so you people that don't read know. I am somewhat sick of just writing and no one ever reading it. I was about to go on a rant, but I don't feel that I should. I am just sick of this. Always typing, always writing, but who reads? No one. An invisible audience, if there are people who do. I am just really tired of this.

Tonight

Tonight;
I face it alone,
As I did the last night,
the night before;
So on.
 
Sitting,
Watching a show,
Ignoring my chores again;
As did the night before.
And ect.
 
Talking,
Well simply,
There is none;
Just me attempting.
Some Poetry.
 
So though I face it
Alone.
I will write,
Though it might not be the ones
To make a hearts flight.

Facebook?

I just got one, it is weird. They have this thing called a "wall" where people write on it. O.o
 
Anyways... I have been writing more, the poems suck :) But that is alright, with each one I write, I get better and better. I am inspired in a way by my posting videos on youtube, so it is exciting. :) Anyways, I am at work so I shouldn't be writing.
 
OH YEAH BTW! :D My computer is ALL DONE :D I am so happy ^^ I have a new Sims3 family going :) My friend Hazel wants them to be baby-makers, so I guess that is what I am going to do, maybe.
 
I shall try to keep up with writing and games too :)

My Goal.

I have decided that I am going to go after what I want from life. Not that that wasn't already the case. I am going to start writing more, if not poetry, though I hope it is, then just thoughts. I can't wait to go to college and perfect my writing that I hope the world will one day read. I am going to go after this goal. I feel oddly inspired today. Something inside me just told me that it was time that I actually put it out there so that I have someone or something that knows about it rather than just myself. I WILL become something more than just what I am now. I am going to try and find out things from the college about competitions. I know I am not good enough yet, but everyone tells me that I have a lot of potential. So I am going to take all of my potential and give it my all. Wish me luck, if any of you read this thing.

Hmmmmm Books

So within a fairly short amount of time I have read three books, and am currently on my fourth one. All of them have been fairly good, but all a slow start except the one I am on now.
 
First, I read "The Da Vinci Code" which was an awesome book. It was really slow at the beginning, but as it went on I couldn't wait to get to the next page to find out what bit of information they were going to reveal about the riddle in front of the three person team that was formed. It took me a long time to start that book... about two year actually. I know, that is really bad, but I finally just told myself that, since I don't have anything to do at the office and it was a book I had already started, I was going to read it. I wouldn't recommend rereading it, not the beginning anyways. However ever little bit that happens in the beginning chapters has a very important role in the later ones. Despite the beginning which feels like 50 pages longer than the few short chapters that is, I would definitely recommend this book to people seeking a book that will make you think (ah my dorkiness is again showing).
 
Second was "Mistress Shakespeare". This book wasn't nearly as great as I thought it would be. Exremely hard to get into. Once I did get into it, it was a good book, not the best though. The book is about the woman Shakespeare supposedly married just one day before marrying Anne Hathaway. Her name is Anne Whateley. The book is a fictional account of her life and relationship with William Shakespeare, whom she is despereately in love with and he with her. Now, you may think that this is just a book about how much she loves him this and how much she loves him that, but is also is of her pain upon finding out about her husband courting and marrying "the other Anne" along with her frustration with him in their later year, where he pushes her away. The account of this woman is not of a weak, dependant person, but instead a strong and indenpenant and brave woman of her time. It is, however, a little boring. It is, obviously, more aimed towards women. I could talk about this book a lot more, but this is for my love of all the possibilities Shakespeare has left about his life, not because the book stood out; because it didn't, not as much as I was hoping it would. I would recommend this for someone looking for an easy read, no real thought is need and you can put the book down if you have something to do, or just simply need a break from it.
 
Third, and by far the most entertaining and most interesting, is "Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal" by Christopher Moore. The book isn't nearly as funny as people told me it was going to be, but it had it's moments. How to describe this book... Well, for starters, I have to give credit to the person who directed me towards this book, a person whose name I forgot that works at the Boarders here, he said that it explained somethings and made you wish that a lot of it were true, which is true in many account. The "Gospel" is an account of the life of Jesus we never read about in the Bible, rarely is there a dull moment in this book. Biff has been brought back to life, 2,000 years after Jesus' death and resurrection, by the angel Raziel. There are parts in this book that just thinking about makes me laugh still. I can't quite describe this book correctly, you should just read it for yourself, if you can take a few jokes about religion. I would definitely recommend this book and reread it, it is a book worth buying.
 
The fourth book is called "Firefly Lane". So far, it is simply amazing. The author has done such an amazing job creating characters that everyone can relate to in some way. I am only 1/3 of the way through it and already I am in love with this book. I will write a proper review on it after I have finished it, which should be this week based off of how fast I have been reading it and how dead it has been in the office. It is a truely inspiring book, from a writers point of view.
 
Well, that is all I have for books right now... I have two more books that I am going to be reading, and I am sure I will be making yet another trip to the book store soon. I have already read one of the books I bought, but I couldn't resist picking up a copy of "Lord of the Flies" when I saw they had it on sale. :)
 
Oh yeah, I am so lame, I made a video on youtube of me reading one of my poems xD I look like such a dork, but anyways, I am thinking of forcing myself to sit down a write something, but I guess that this blog is good enough :) It all started with a weekly, sometimes daily, blog when I first started to let my fingers do all of my talking in a poetic form. Though the poems started long before the blogs, they only got better and better after posting them and feeling "out there" after doing so. Also, I have got a bit of advice from someone that I will always keep about writing poetry, and I will forever remember that and I am going to try to get BACK to that. A poem is supposed to be impersonal and personal at the same time, relatable on many differently levels, without direct relation to the author, I know that that is a lot of hard work to achieve. I think I may send that person an e-mail... I wonder how his family is. :)
 
Well I better go, ah but I just remembered something! >.< There was a lightening storm last night when Leif and I went to Saharras (haha oh Justin and your drunken sayings). :) Leif and I are going on a date not next week, but the following, I am so excited :) I won't have to pay for anything... I hope. I will tell him just to bring cash, and leave his card at home since it has his mom's name on it. Which I find stupid that the banks make it so that you can't have "your own" bank account until you are 18, I personally think it should be 16 since you are allowed to work then and it IS your own money, afterall. Anyways, I should probably go... I was thinking of making another video and I am sure that I should get on IM to see if Amanda is there >.< I keep forgetting to read "Amandamie" SORRY Amanda >_< !

Just Me Writing

I need to be free with my pen or my keyboard or my pencile. My mind is clogged and I am feeling trapped. I feel like something is looming over me, but I don't know what it is. I tried writing something meaningful today; it was a waste of time. Whenever tried it never comes out right, but when I just simple go at it, it always means more than just the single words. I wish I was more symbolic with my writings... or rather more successful when I do try to be symbolic.
 
I need to write some poetry or something a little bit less dull than just a blog or a paragraph. Ah man, I feel so out of place. Anyways... I have to go.
 
Bye-Bye,
Ttfn
 
P.S. Ah short series of blogs... how I have missed you so.

Me Being Weird Me

Why is it that when I have a problem, I turn to the oddest people for advice, or at least want to. Anyways... Leif and I had a talk last night and he suggested that I make some of it into a poem, so I am going to, not now though.
 
Anywho, I should go.
 
Bye-Bye,
