So apparently, I fail.
Maybe I was a fool for thinking I could really do it everyday.
So we'll start this again... again...
This is what is on my mind today.
When you love, you want nothing more than to shout it out on the top of your lungs and let every creature, living or not, know that your heart is singing and why.
But do you have to?
Is that necessary?
Are you making it known to prove you're in love to the world?
Or to yourself?
Because the last time I checked love shouldn't have to be proven to anyone.
Why do we consistently remind ourselves we're in love?
Why do we consistently remind everyone else we're in love?
If we have to prove it, are we really?

Scarcity
Well so far, I'm a couple of days behind doing what I said I'd do.
So let's try this again.
=)
Things are scarce.
Sleep. Memories. Dreams.
Melodies. Images. Love.
Things have been scarce.
Last night I was horribly awakened by a nightmare I was having while I was awake.
And I haven't been able to speak since.
It felt as if everything I ever knew was wrong.
Everything look distorted and out of view.
Sort of like a German expressionistic photograph.
It seems as if words are the scarcest thing.
Words.Words.Words.
Fresh out of stock.

Journey
I have decided, officially as of May 1, 2010, this will be a daily blog. Blurbs, thoughts, and food for it. We'll see how much I can grow in a year.
Come along with me?
Come along with me?

Military Showers
"I am not young enough to know everything." - Oscar Wilde
Today, well technically yesterday, 100 years ago a genius was born in Japan.
19 years ago, technically today, another genius was born.
Two completely different geniuses, generations and decades apart.
The classification of genius, isn't what I'm questioning. For I know that identifying it is a subjective perspective.
But is genius accident?
We're all here for a reason right?
I guess I just question the question of life.
How two different accidents are justified in the end.
A boy sits tonight. And in between drowning out his life in a youtube spoken word, or attempting to finish homework due within the next few hours, he nurses his girlfriend who has been carrying his child for almost four months. This doesn't seem like an abnormal situation. But it is more so when you are about to turn 17, and your girlfriend 19 in the fall.
They and their child will be growing up together, I suppose. A doomed consequence.
Another boy sits tonight. He has just paid off his credit card. Gotten a promotion at his already successful firm. He owns a house with his wife of three years in a lovely part of New York. And in between doing all of that, he is nursing his wife as well. Except unlike the first situation, this woman for reasons unknown cannot conceive a child, despite her life long dream to raise a little girl of her own.
It's debatable which situation is more unfair. All things aside, neither couple chose this situation yet is forced to live with it for the rest of their lives.
How is it that this woman into her 30's who is ready to bring a human being into the world unable to do so, but a child can be born by a child herself?
There must be a reason.
The older we get, the more we realize, but the less we remember the values of life.
In our time designated like a military shower. Just enough to get in and get out.
But it's never justified until the water runs out.

Vulture Prophecies
I'm just trying to find my rhythm these days.
And really should be studying for my anthropology test.
However,
I feel like everything is upside down.
And I don't know which way I'm going.
Claustrophobia.
Set in.
Closer.
and
Closer.
and
Closer.
...
I need to get out of here.

This Just In
In today's news:
AVATAR is now the highest grossing film of all time. How I feel about that... I'm not quire sure. AVATAR is a stunning film, and regardless of your opinion or mine, it is beyond innovative. James Cameron, whether you like TITANIC, or ALIEN, or not, always delivers a film. Where AVATAR lacked, was a story. He told a story as old as time in a new way, but you would think with such innovative technology, the story would match. The message was much deeper than could ever be presented on the screen, but I don't feel that the deeper messages was why the picture was made. Which depreciates it's value. I feel it was more made for a, "Hey, look at what we can do!" Sort of situation.
And CORINNE BAILEY RAE's new album, THE SEA, was released today. (A few days earlier than expected) An album I've been waiting for for four years.
But, more importantly. HABITAT FOR HUMANITY has a page where you can donate to Haiti victims and disaster response. It's more than tough for everyone right now, but a little help goes along way. And we may not be far off of something happening to us where we need help. So whatever you can; clothes, blankets, food, funds. Help.

Egg Roll Cravings
So, the first January post. (About 21 days late, but hey)
So far 2010 has proven to be a bittersweet time. A time of loss and a time of discovery. Especially with the world drowning at the moment. (And tornado warnings in Orange County?!)
And this hunger for better things will hopefully be satisfied sooner rather than later.
Let's toast the year. We're still pretty early in the game.
