Dear old followers and new,
misselise:
so, as many of you already know.. my tumblr was hacked and deleted tonight (as well as my facebook and hotmail!)
as lame as it sounds, this is seriously one of the saddest nights i’ve had in a long time. i loved my blog more than a normal person should and LOVED all of my 5,500 followers even more.
so if all of you would kindly put the word out there that my blog was deleted, and...
The Real Deal
I am not sure if I have posted this before, but even if I did, it deserves another go. I found this on the interwebz one day and (grammatical errors not withstanding) it completely describes my view on romance. I am not as accusatory towards woman as the original author is, but I sense the same problems that he does, and wish for the same change. Let me know what you think!
“She cries...
Help Needed!
I am leading a team for the Asthma walk this year and I need a team name. Which do you guys think is better?

Personal Legend, Where Are You?!
Yet again, a girl of my romantic interests is not available. It seems to be inevitable. I seem to have a sixth sense for women that happen to be in relationships. In fact, I do not believe that one woman that I have asked out in the past year and a half was single. While this little fact does astound me, I think I know why my love life has been failing so completely.
The odds of that many...
Companionship
This word has developed an entirely new meaning for me recently. When I was younger I wanted sex. I just wanted to hump like a damn rabbit. Then, as I got older, I yearned for the ever elusive, yet oh-so generic, ‘love.’ I wanted a happy ending just like I had seen in the movies. However, as someone grows emotionally, they learn that neither of these things are truly what they...
Dangle the Carrot
Have you ever felt that you were meant to do something but couldn’t quite put your finger on it? Like there was a special purpose for your life yet it was unknown to you? Welcome to my entire life.
Well, recently I have found my calling. I dearly want to work in Law Enforcement. I want to hold a position of prestige and respect. I do not want to do a job that has a hyper-inflated...

what is your view on religion?
I believe that faith in humanity is important for people but religion should NEVER justify the harm or damage of another. If it does it is not a valid religion to follow.

Like a Virgin
So this weeks episode of Glee has me thinking about Virgins. To recap, the episode was about female/personal empowerment and strength. As part of this process, a few of the characters were forced to make a decision about their bodies and virginity. Don’t worry, I won’t spoil the episode here, but it did cause me to think about this ‘virginity’ thing.
I believe that...

My Personality
So this is the result of a personality test that I recently took online. I actually find it to be fairly accurate…
Imagine a deep lush valley, caressed by flowers and trees that eternally blossom, inhabited by animals that serve as gentle companions and by people who spend their days loving, creating, and selflessly serving humanity. This is the world of the rare (only about 3 percent of...

Songs of the Day
So I am going to try and post a different song every day to take advantage of the nifty new feature to my blog! At the bottom of the page there is a thing called a ‘streampad.’ It is basically an interface that allows you to play all of the music on my blog in a playlist fashion. Thus, from now on, I will tag these songs of the day as SOD. If you wish to search for them this will...
The Family Man
So I just finished a move called “The Family Man” with Nicholas Cage. This movie has me thinking about what I truly want out of life, which I guess is the point of the film. This flick has reenforced an idea that I have been entertaining for a while; I do not care what my career is. I would be perfectly happy doing almost any lame job on the planet as long as I had a loving wife and...

Help...
So I have tried to convince myself that I drink too much. I do not believe that this is true. I do believe, however, that I go out too often. Let us take tonight as an example. I left my house at 11pm and returned home at 2:30am. In this time span I only had 4 drinks. That is a drink almost every hour. I do not think that this means that I drink too much. However, when one considers that I...

Empty Hands and a Broken Heart
I am sorry. I regret the way I acted. I was immature, fool-hearty, and short tempered. I was afraid of losing my youth and my chance at living the “party-life.” I treated you as if you didn’t deserve me, though it was I that didn’t deserve you. You gave me your whole heart and I only gave you a portion of mine.
I pushed the one person that truly loved me for me out of my...
Surreal Moment
Upon waking this morning I discovered two things that, when combined, felt really surreal. The first is that the sneak preview of “Eclipse” has been released meaning that the movie is not far behind. The second thing is that one of my ex-girlfriends is getting married today. It feels like it was just yesterday that this girlfriend and I were going to the midnight release of...

The (500)th day.
I watch films because they give me insight into myself and the people that I deal with. One of the films that I believe does this well is (500) Days of Summer. When I saw it for the first time, I felt emotionally connected to the main character Tom. I related to him because I had gone through heartbreak similar to his previously in my life. However, because of recent developments in my own...
Confliction...
So I am currently conflicted as to whether I love or hate myself. I hate that I feel jealousy over things that I have no right to be jealous of. I hate that I feel rejected over simple things that some don’t consider to have meaning. I hate that I respond so emotionally to everything without being more rational.
I love that I am so devoted to people. I will never cheat, or be dishonest...

Another Tat?
So I am thinking of investing in another tat. What do you think that I should get? I cannot get my current Buddha filled because Adam (my best friend that has the same tat) and I have to get them worked on at the same time. I was thinking some Asian (Japanese) symbols on my inner wrists; what do you think? Thanks!
