no pretty prose
or rhythmic rhyming
just a nerve
an exposed hurt

friendship dangling
much to cumbersome
forever a waste of time

our friendship
based on your mood
not any more
...checkmate

For the life of me I cannot remember
What made us think that we were wise
and we'd never compromise

'Freshman' - The Verve

#

Now we look back and see that she didn't know how
We never thought that we'd get caught up
Stuck in the teenage waste

'Explode' - Nelly Furtado

#

And I'm tired of reflection and warning
Keeping myself at the centre of it all
We lie out of boredom
Just to stall the inevitable

'In The Road' - Weeping Tile

#

The bass, the rock
The mic, the treble
I like my coffee black
Just like my metal

'Shut Me Up' - Mindless Self Indulgence

my jaw
drops
wide open
for
i can't
fathom it
the ignorance
it spills
into the air
a contamination

a broken branch
upon a
crooked
family tree

is the media still the machine of the people for the people? Seems more like the media has become what the government and big business use to convince us of whatever they desire?!
People around the world are dying, being slaughtered - nobody is listening to these cries instead we care more for whom is sleeping with whom.

what you don't know can't hurt you - but it can kill others. I read my news online - I will not be distracted by quasitainment news.

How pathetic is it that "sweeps week" creates news (used loosely here) that actually makes it to air? WTF? There is a lot of real news happening. Now we have to search for it.

2 Hitchhiker's thumbs way up! I have not been this entertained by a movie in such a long time. I watched the movie last night and wanted to go home and watch it again. Instead, I'm buying the book trilogy. The movie makes reference to the next book in the series: The Restaurant At the End of the Universe.

mos def is a genius. Each movie I see him in I love him more. Okay so I've always been his fan, back in the day before he was an actor, even. Hollywood better take notice because mos def is fantastic. I hope he gets his props for this role.

If you've read the book(s) go the see the movie. Trust me, peeps.

Here's the thing about celibacy - sometimes it goes on way too long. I took a vow of celibacy as a means of evaluating my romantic relationships. Here is my problem, as I've come to see it: physically I am interested in men; however I do not trust most men. So that leaves me with an emotional attachment to women. Great that I've figured that out - now what the F*ck to do about it.

I don't think I want to be in a relationship but random acts of sex are not the way to go either. What to do?! What the heck is wrong with me, I'm not even catholic and my level of guilt mongering is ridiculous. This sounds silly but I don't even know how to act available any more. I started high school a bit easy (didn't sleep around a lot but had my share of one-night stands and things of that nature) and ended my 20's in celibacy.

I'm an all or nothing kinda gal!

only 30 minutes to the end of TV Turnoff week. Yes, I missed TV. I enjoyed the week with my friends (both kinds - the ones inside and outside of my head). I read some but mostly I wrote a lot. I had to listen to the dialogue in my own head instead of that of my many TV friends. My bestfriend rode this no TV ride with me and it re-connected us. We talked more on the phone, we actually paid attention to the other person. I have no regrets but I miss it. But not for much longer....
