good call

I'm making a list. Checkin' it twice. And making sure that I accomplish everything I want to this year.

may i intervene?

Today I spent a few hours watching this show on A&E called "Intervention". As one would expect, it's about people that are addicted. To anything really; heroin, alcohol, even food. It hit home in a lot of ways. Yeah, Rachael was the first to pop into my mind.

"She doesn't care, but why should she? We'll do double over-time."

What's scary is how right that is. Rachael does not care. No one in her life has ever cared. She doesn't have the support system to get the help that these people get. She's hellbent on destroying herself before disease and old age even have a chance. I really hope she gets the help she needs; the help she deserves, but I can't be the one to stick it out anymore. She's not my responsibility.

tell me (first edited draft)

you told me, tell me a time in which you broke the mirror

and seven years crept on slowly until you found me

arms bent at awkward angles in the grass

laying like the bluebird that struck my window while we made love

you spoke honestly only through sleepy lips to convince me otherwise

that you were truth, but I saw a more ruthless and reckless side of you

two years you claimed felt like twenty

until that moment when you felt nothing at all

neverending list of things that make me sad

post secret is great

don't get vd

overanalytic

Perhaps what baffles me most about the situation, and you, is that you know exactly how to keep me coming back for more.

Game over, kid. You win. I'm not comin' back this time.

I told you it was all or nothing. You chose nothing. You win. I give up. Just know that that was the last promise I will ever make.

i'll give you two days to come home

Pretty much the best weekend I've had in a long time. It all begins with an evening at Rubble's, a local bar in downtown Mt. Pleasant, where some friends and I danced the night away to Bloomill. I don't dance, and for good reason. But I decided to say "fuck it" and danced like an idiot with some of the coolest people I've ever met.

This was closely followed by a long drive with Aaron to Marquette where I spent my time catching up with majority of my yooper pals. I missed seeing a few people but overall it was a spectacular time. I don't miss NMU but I do miss the people and the town. It's an inspirational place.

i write too little

late night tv

Insomnia is pretty ok. I get a lot of things done and I can catch up on a lot of television that I've missed out on. I used to watch Aqua Teen Hunger Force a few years back. And I now remember why: Meatwad is the best.
