Storage

They sat and spoke without a sound,
not having to say,
hello or goodbye.

Their thoughts and actions stand alone,
open to each other,
brutally honest,

Even though friends drift apart,
They retained the bonds,
Closest to their heart,

Years may test,
This long distance friendship,
But one thing remains certain,

Memories,
Have a way,
of retaining,
our lives lived in great company.

Wine Bottles

The dizziness of the oscillating monitor causes pain to erupt from the front of my brain... my eyes do not have to be open to notice the a crt's faulty qualities...

ugh

I've realized that if you whip your head back and forth... doing so causes your mind to leap forth and back again... while dizziness continues to swirl... its like the back of your brain has feelings.... i guess when you've had too many it really seems to stay in the front of the brain... while making everything else a little more wobbly...

its like the front of your brain becomes heavy... like a metronome waddles back and forth. (too heavy for the back of your mind to hold still).. Thus your mind tries to sign wave (metronome) to find an equilibrium while the world spins around in circles..

i believe what i am striving for is equilibrium right now... water is probably a good idea...

is alcohol throwing you off a line?

do people need to be thrown off their typical line though life, or does this typically happen all the time... what if life was a big gigantic line... and the events you formulate in your mind oscillate and change what should have been.... maybe that's what makes us all special.. our ability to oscillate....

our ability to take a line and complete it by connecting the dots...

or to skip a few steps...

or to go in circles and discover why people get stuck at certain stages....

what stage in life are you in now?

are you moving forward?

wondering around...

could this thing called life have different lines?
like when you cut rope to develop string...

with each string they all combine to create a rope... but the rope needs all pieces to wind up together to form a cohesive unit....

Three Pointer

Scissors

Scissors do not make people fit,
Together like they should,
These mutilated connections,
Break easily

A Downpour

Rain,
Falls,
From the sky,
To the ground,

Soaking,
The arid ground,
Its cleansing,
A burnt oak tree,

Washing,
Away,
The ash and the gray,

To much
Is choking,
The last colony.

A Feeling Remains

I’m glad we spent this time together,
And while the grand picture fell apart,
Some of the pieces stayed,
Within my heart,

This love I obtained,
Stays,
An essential piece.

A Tad Late

If we got the timing right
                        we could be all different,
But were off a millisecond in
                           this alternate reality,

I’d rather not think of the “could have been”,
The near misses that could of changed my life,
Yet I,
Still wish upon,
That shooting star,

I want to see those sparks at night,
         So
Go fetch my net its time to find,
The one,
Who means,
Everything,

Hop aboard this rocket ship
                             for its time to see,
The distant galaxies of make believe,
Only there,
Shall I find,
What I need.

Life is your Masterpiece

When you look around at your life, everything is a result of your past actions (obviously exempt is the things you started out with since birth).

Your job, your relationship, your health, the things in your apartment or house.

All these items are a result of how your masterpiece has taken place thus far can we change it if you want...

Before we get into that start by think to yourself, how did i acquire all these things? Did you wake up one day and say hey i want to fireman, a teacher, an accountant, an it consultant? Did you want to have a girlfriend/boyfriend who's smart, funny, and attractive? Or a house with 5 bedrooms for all the little ones you'd have?

I believe a lot of starts by thinking. If your thinking of actions that make you happy, then continue what your doing. If your having trouble thinking of things that make you happy then just simply write things down that make you grateful.

Once you have a list of what makes you grateful. This can be things you have or things you want, but once you have that list think about how you could incorporate more of this into my life? You obviously don't know how your going to accomplish it but if your driving at night from Pittsburgh to Philadelphia you can only see as far as your tail lights will take you and trust that the road will bring you to your destination.

I thought of this recently:
negative thoughts and positive thoughts are both absorbed into your masterpiece.
negative thoughts show up quicker
however positive though take time to develop but are more lasting

The key is to start by doing the small things, maybe clean your house, calling a friend, or just thinking about something that makes you happy and putting it into action is what you need to do to make your masterpiece truly wonderful.

if we didn't start with the small things then how else would this quote even be possible?

One small step form man one giant leap for mankind.
