While walking through the campus bookstore, I caught this title on the shelf. I had heard many good things about it, so I finally purchased the book and read it. A short read (only 167 pages) and certainly not as wordy as I like my authors to be. However, the book definitely holds some light to [...]
Just about everything before this post is old writing. I’ve moved it over from previous blogs and such as I felt these were worthy of survival. Now, on with the new.
When your ethics professor brings Ancient Greek philosophy into discussion for the first time, your initial thought might be of a white-bearded senior citizen wearing a toga and notably teetering with theories of virtue and justice. He emits a perpetual sense of curiosity and wonder while prying into the cracks of human nature. If the [...]
My father was my role model. My father was a great man. My father was a drug addict. Some would say my choice in heroes is poorly made, given the options available to me. But I have witnessed no better. He was not a saint, but I choose him for his flaws as well as [...]
I am entangled and twisted, untwisting thoughts of misty love bots that play the beautiful play of words, rhythm and rhyme. Time is ticking, my mind is mixing method with error, spawning spontaneous dreams of terror.

Rainy days and dripping eyes, the sky reflects what lies inside. Melting, dipping, slipping away, curious why you hurt yourself this way.

Salty little samples of unhealthy emotions left on pillows for each of my notions. You think you’re losing me, but I was [...]
Suicide kings and one-eyed jacks playing at the turn of opportunity. Inconsistent clouds of disregard followed by a fools parade. An easy task to read ones fortune, your everyday is the same. The path you walk is covered with your self-centered lies. The smile you wear is crooked and tilts with every grin. No faith [...]
With an abundance of ways to die, I’m searching for a way to live. Demons shedding the tears of angels, running a muck the status quo. As a creature of change and an advocate of pain, I see no reason to sit still for you. Please don’t underestimate me. Don’t pretend I’m something that fits [...]
I am bleeding, my thoughts are fleeting out from in the pouring rain. My blood can stain every window pane within the highest house of blame. My deepest cuts remain silent but loudly they weep. Your soul is asleep. Now awaken, your mind has taken such great strides in a circular ride. So concerned with [...]
