The New Year, is the Old Year.
If you haven’t noticed yet, I’m a bit of a lush. But one night which you might expect me to party harder than no other, I choose to abstain, and that is new years eve. I have even been known to spend the new year fast asleep before midnight, it is perhaps the most single overrated night of the year.
What does this night signify to the world that every single douche bag wants to pay an...

In an effort to network for the sake of beginning my writing career in a realm other than songwriting, I started exploring friends of friends' blogs to try and point some people in the direction of what I was doing, not really expecting to find much by way of actual literary composition as opposed to a...

Love Story Gone Wrong.
Romeo and Juliet is undoubtedly one of the greatest romances of all time, the play crafted with such genius that the authorship has been doubted even till this day. It is a work of the English language that transcends time, and is constantly used as a trope of current pop culture. Here is where I object however, this masterpiece of tragic love has been misconstrued to the masses as nothing more...
Christmas and the Atheist.
As it is December 25th, I have decided to write a blog about Christmas. Several people recently have attacked my mentioning of this holiday as I am a pronounced atheist, here is my official addressing of it.
First of all, you are incredibly rude and expressing prejudice against someone because of their non belief, the very problem with this “Christian nation.” Second of all, it is...
Who Will Save Your Soul?
One of my favorite idiotic arguments made by some men is the old “she was asking for it, look how she’s dressed” scenario. Posing that horrible events which befall young women, such as rape, are well deserved. Rape is never asked for, if it was, it wouldn’t be rape. Accusations like that are made by seedy individuals or moral extremists. As for the rest of us who fall...
This Use to be a Funhouse.
I have returned from Florida with a mix of emotions. after a tumultuous journey resulting in an unexpected night spent in Chicago (because I missed my plane while getting a bagel) I finally arrived to be greeted by my odd father and his eccentric mother. Within the first few minutes of my presence my grandmother made her discontent known, relating my mention of my sister being 15 to her own...
He's Just Not That Into You...and You Like it.
As females we know the two very broad categories, good guys and bad guys. Everything we know about men and pretty much the world in general is divided in this manor of positive and negative aspects. we are told to desire and strive to emulate the good qualities in life, however with only one side of the spectrum we find does not satisfy. Women are constantly in need of that Byronic hero figure,...
Excellence in Bad Decisions: A Memoir of Mistakes
I have always justified my reason to be a non fiction writer as this, “If you live interestingly enough, you don’t have to make things up.”
Of course living interestingly also shares some qualities with being a human punching bag, which can grow quite tiresome. I have always had a sort of self brutalizing mentality, not consciously of course, but continuously made decisions...

Apparently there is something called tumblr Tuesday, meaning you can recommend the blog of someone you follow. I’m not usually one to partake in social network whore trains, like follow friday and the like, but because this is my writing i’d like as many people to see it as possible. so be a dear won’t you and recommend my blog?

that is...
suckerbet asked: I bet you hear this a lot but I enjoyed reading some of your entries. You're quite the writer. It is so nice and refreshing coming across a tumblr with substance like yours. My compliments!
A Forgotten Family.
Monday I am flying to Florida. This is not some last minute “the semester is done I need to escape my life” or even an excuse to get away from the impending snowfall. I had been thinking lately I would like to take a vacation somewhere warm, but I certainly would not have wanted things to unfold as they have. I am flying to Florida because my grandmother has dementia. I am flying to...
Same shit different day.
Breaking habits are hard, getting use to change is too, stepping out of comfort zones does not come naturally to most. Recognizing the problem of our routines is only half the battle, if we are not able to follow through and change the pattern of our ways the simple realization is useless. We can either become a slave to our impulse actions or learn to curb them.
I realize my last post, (which...
Falling for the Boy with the Microphone.
Musicians are very dangerous creatures, they occupy a stigma, an attractive air about them, they can seem like the most influential people on the planet without actually achieving much of anything. Seeing a boy holding a guitar is like seeing a woman with a cigarette, appealing to the eye but hazardous to your health.
I was an impressionable teen once, I admired and was attracted to many of the...
