"Sucking all the marrow out of life doesn't mean choking on the bone."
                   -Dead Poet's Society

I'm like...the greatest advocate of getting all you can out of life, but I feel like I'm just...not.  And it feels like the harder I try to get more out of it, the less I actually get.

For every step I take to better my life, something comes along and sets me back another 10 steps.  I think I'm missing a lot of very important things.

As much as I hate to believe this is true, I think I need to find love.  Even if it's not a permanent fixture, I need someone to call mine, and someone to call me theirs.

wow

it's definitely been over a year since i updated this thing. i reckon i should knock the dust off. for anyone who is actually interested, you can thank this guy: _turnstiles_ 

my life has been interesting.  i don't really know where to begin elaborating, but it's been crazy.

i lost my license.  until july 31st.  gonna make it hard to get ready for college.  and that's not even the worst of it.

man, i remember now why i stopped blogging.

i've been a little angry lately.  but kinda philosophical too.

i think i'm going through an emo rebirth.

bound to happen

i used to know you like the back of my hand
until today you held your place
now you're shifting like the sand
your chest would heave with pride if i were spoken of
'till tonight i never knew the difference between comfort and love

although you're sleeping right next to me
well, it feels like you are wide awake in a distant dream
leading a life that is finally free
of these endless nights and countless fights that turn us into
who we hate to be

this is so difficult for the both of us
i know we tried so hard, there's just no hope for us
well it's more than a shame that we lost to this game
all my walking, talking, sleeping, breathing -
nothing will ever be the same

i used to hold you like it's all that i had
now begins the falling out, we are like a passing fad
your mouth would crack a smile if i were spoken of
'till tonight you never thought
you'd lose this epic battle with love

although you're sleeping right next to me
well, it feels like you are wide awake in a distant dream
leading a life that is finally free
of these endless nights and countless fights that turn us into
who we hate to be

and this is so difficult for the both of us
i know we tried so hard, there's just no hope for us
well it's more than a shame that we lost to this game
all my walking, talking, sleeping, breathing -
nothing will ever be the same

for what it's worth, i've always admired you
i always thought that we could make it through
now look what time can do
it took our masterpiece we built and broke it in two
i always believed in you
i always loved you

and this is so difficult for the both of us
i know we tried so hard, there's just no hope for us
well it's more than a shame that we lost to this game
all my walking, talking, sleeping, breathing -
nothing will ever be the same

just forget me, it's that simple.

and i guess it's just a little more simple than i expected.

life is so many kinds of unfair. or maybe i'm so many kinds of unfair.

i can honestly say
that i never, ever, ever felt this way
your lips, your eyelashes, your skin
these are the parts of your body
that cause my comatose to begin

i will sleep another day
i don't really need to anyway
what's the point when my dreams are infected
with words you used to say
i will breathe in a moment
as long as i keep my distance
i wouldn't want to go messing anything up

so don't go worrying about me
it's not like i think about you constantly
so maybe i do, but that shouldn't affect
your life anymore
i knew it the moment you walked into the door

i'll let you get the best of me
because there's nothing else that i do well
i'll let you get the best of me
because there's nothing else that i do well
i'll be the giver and you'll be the taker
i guess that's how this one's gonna go
i'll be the giver and you'll be the taker
you've got me down on my knees and i proclaim
all hail the heartbreaker


that's it. the end. it's really over.

i have this recurring dream and in it, i die.
every night i die, and every morning i'm born again.
it's seriously sick.
groovy.

"...According to the sheriff's report, Kuhn had been on her way home, walking east along the 1800 block of Black Run Road from a neighbor's house when she was hit from behind and thrown over a concrete abutment before coming to a rest in a ditch about 6:23 p.m. She was flown by MedFlight from Adena Regional Medical Center to Grant Hospital in Columbus, but did not survive..."

the worst feeling in the world is seeing someone you used to talk to everyday and know that it's wrong of you to say anything to them now.
