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...
