A Weekend of Reflection, Fun, Disappointment, Deficiencies and Nothing to Show for it Save a Pair of Newly Shined Shoes

Indeed this is a weekend to remember. A great many things came from this weekend. Some more interesting than others, but all of them, save one, will change things. I have reaffirmed things about myself that i cling to, whether intelligently or not so, in order to continue with my life and rediscovered those things which drive me to the brink of cynical madness.

A disturbing thought, i know.

And i remember things that make me feel the wings on my back and remind me that i can take flight and soar higher than the stars.

A disturbing thought, i know.

:)

And I found these things, things that build anger. Useless, distracting, uncontrollable, unfathomable anger. An anger i have never truly been susceptable to before, until now. Things that don't really concern me or should anger me in any way, but drive me straight to that insanity again.

I know, i know.

And now i find that silent determination seems to be the only avenue of escape and silence, as you can imagine, is not one of the things that i am accustomed to.

And all i have to show for it is a pair of newly shined dress shoes.

Thanks for that Cody, it was worth the ten bucks. Well worth it.

P.S. 7.50 a shoe? That's ridiculous. Even for an impecable shoe, eh Carl? :)

    k mr kriptic, my turn! (and i put my stuff on your and Li's bloggs cuz i don't have one that i update about me)

    Im looking down a hole. At the bottom is something i want, but the inside of the whole is covered with thorns and spines and everyone is watching, they dont know the whole is there, but they will if i pull my hand out and its covered in scratches.

    and so now the questions... Is it worth the bauble to get cut? Will I get to keep it anyway or will it be stripped from me? What would I do?

    Right now the answer is wait, its the safe thing, its the easy one, it takes no evergy to do nothing, and theres no risk in doing it.

    Can i just stand there and let the world go by? And how long can I stand there till I get restless or tired? What's the answer? Does anyone even know?










    Hard choices, Nick I'd like to talk to you, call me any time exept after 6 on mondays and thursdays (cuz i have marching band) but in person would be better, if your not buisy one day this week, let me know.

    I have nothing against "your" dragons, Tori, i was merely using it as an example. A crack addict, huh? That would be RATHER amusing. Scary, no doubt, but no less amusing.
