The Eyes Have It

I was outside all day today.
All I could feel was spring.
And in my head all I could hear
was the poem by Joyce Kilmer
“I think that I shall never see
a poem as lovely as a tree”.
Certainly not a favorite but it suits.

I don’t know if I believe in god,
but if there is one and if I prayed
I would ask for a lot more days like this
and a lot more trees.
Maybe I’ll just wish on 11:11.

Hurry up spring.

Her Shoes

She looked down at her feet.
Today she was wearing her lime green converse.
She liked them.
She tried to remember where she had gotten them.
Maybe when they were in Galveston?
The places had started running together.
How was it possible for someone her age to not remember where she had gotten a pair of shoes?
After all, they were just shoes.
Maybe she should change them so it would quit bothering her.
Still.
Maybe it wasn’t the shoes.
Maybe the problem was her feet.
They always seemed to be taking her somewhere she didn’t want to go.

Selling Out?

I love words. They are actually one of my most favorite things ever. And I've gotten in the habit of picking a word, usually just one, that describes a period of time in my life. I imagine I'm writing an autobiography and then pick a word for the title of each chapter. When the word no longer applies, i know I've started a new chapter.

From summer 2007 until now, that word was dissonance. That was a particularly long period of time to have just one word, so the chapters would have been Dissonance I, Dissonance II, etc. The word itself sounds really cool when you say it and for me just meant that nothing in my life was in any kind of harmony. This is not necessarily a bad thing. I kind of assumed it was because things were changing and I was moving from one phase of my life into another.

Sometime around the first of this year, my word changed. I don't know why. Sometimes it just does that. It's now acquiesces. I'm just getting used to it so I'm not sure if it's a good thing or not. Does it mean I'm giving in an accepting the dissonance? I have no clue but there is it.

I acquiesce.

Banned

I stood in the doorway watching my mom bake brownies on the day she told me she and my dad were getting divorced. I don’t eat chocolate now.

I quit wearing my pink and gray stripped shirt because I was wearing it when I broke up with my first boyfriend.

I threw and broke my Starbuck’s cup because I was angry at my dad’s girlfriend.

Numerous inanimate objects have been blamed and banned from my life for bad things that happened.

I hope I’m never in a car accident

What's The Big Deal?

It seems to me that people take Valentine’s Day too seriously. Apparently it started because there was a guy that cut his heart out and presented it to his love, which seems a bit extreme especially when you can just use construction paper and magic markers. In any case, people really shouldn’t be depressed because they don’t have a boyfriend/girlfriend today unless you’re just typically depressed about that kind of thing. It’s simply 24 hours of being around obnoxiously happy couples. It’ll end tomorrow and they’ll go back to bickering over silly stuff and you can be thankful you‘re single.

Just my opinion.

ps. Besides its NBA All-Star Weekend and who could be sad about that :D

Clueless and Speechless but No Longer Anonymous

I've been commenting on blogs for about a month as anonymous. So I decided to get my own blogspot. But I have no idea what to write about.

This is my first blog for this site.

Hopefully I'll be more creative later.

If not, at least I won't have to comment as anonymous anymore. :D
