Concerning Men

Due to my recent and not so recent history I've concluded that my current game plan concerning men sucks.

Which leads me to believe that something drastic must be done.

I need to take a very long hiatus from interacting o

n a personal basis with the opposite sex.

Long enough to get my head straight

My standards higher

And my trust in a 'good' man back.

So.. Friends.

Not friends with...

Just friends.

For a while.

i'm going to take these four months

This summer is going to be a summer of healing.

Healing an abused heart,

A bruised sense of self worth.

Healing of broken dreams,

And unfulfilled wishes.

Healing of forgotten friendships,

And the damage of spending too many days and nights alone.

Glorious sun shine your rays and heal this battered soul.

Early In the Morning

I guess I kind of have a thing for the Irish singers...

Maybe it started with Jonathan Rhys Meyers in August Rush

It continued with The Script

And now I'm head over heels for James Vincent Mcmorrow.

He's speaking my soul these days.

His first album Early In the Morning just came out in February.

It was self played and self produced, with one mic, in a house by the sea.

He's a true artist. A musician trying to find his way through the

words he writes. Looking to make some sort of sense out of this noise we call our lives.

He's gonna be a forever favorite..I know it. Check out his website.. www.jamesvmcmorrow.com

My favorite song is "We Don't Eat" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMN8qbhHRn4

Play It Again, Salmonella

...I carried white lies so far they changed

colors, I held tantrums in my pocket

a long time, before I actually threw them.

I was born with dynamite in my chest.

Some days I wish the real me would would stand up

and shout table for ten, por favor!

I'm an emotional cripple, putting

his best crutch forward. My heart is a child

clutching his breath underwater. I know

these buttons don't control anything

but I push them anyway and pretend.

I'm a card carrying member of a canceled party...

You Never Had Control

There are some men in this world that take your breath away simply because they exist.

Their smiles like blue sky and sunshine.

Eyes like a library. Quiet and dark. Comforting and full of interesting thoughts waiting to be learned.

Hands that make your heart cry because they forgot the precious cargo they're carrying.

They're beautiful.

But the thought of them doesn't bring a smile.

They feel more like cold rain without a jacket. A silly mistake.

They resemble driving a car too fast around a gravel corner. Out of control.

But then again.. with these men...you never had control.

Why so black? I need white. I need yellow and red and green, I need blue and orange and brown. I need the colors of life...proof that there's more in this world than just me and the t.v

Here's to Hoping

You're out there right?

Maybe you're watching your favorite movie or

Out partying with friends.

Maybe you're studying for a big test or

Reading a book.

Maybe you're listening to that song that's all yours

or working on your next painting, sculpture, or lyrics.

Maybe you're working late

Or finishing up some homework.

Maybe you're talking on the phone...

Or holding the wrong girl.

She's the right girl for someone but not for you...

Because she's not me.

Wherever you are, whatever

your doing...

please let the experiences you're having now prepare you to help make the most wonderful us.

I could wait for you for a thousand years.

As long as I knew that there'd be a

you.

You're out there right?
