• Alone

...

• Abyss

Here I go again- Diving deep into the abyss That I call my mind. Lost in thought, Sedated by influence.

• Down the Way

When all the world is cloaked in darkness, In the shadows of the past - Not a soul but us remains We are alone at last.

• Breathe

The smoke burns in her lungs, Cancerous cloud. Deep breath - Exhale the pain Forget the world If only for a precious moment.

• Bucharest was not Constantinople: Romanian Shots

Juha was a friend of Calin's from Finland. He owned some sort business in Bucharest and was staying in the hostel for a few days while he was trying to find an apartment. I was freshly showered and dressed some time around noon and folding my nightshirt when I met him. He was talking to a Dane named Scott, who was a story unto himself, and spoke with an uncanny Midwestern American accent.

• Soul Searching

My travels have taken me far from home Deep into the souls of others I dwell in their thoughts for a bit, Some I take up permanent residence in And yet I never leave the room.

• I am here.* Friday, November 11, 2005

I am here for now. Enjoy what I am and who I am. For now is the only time I have and I just need to enjoy it. Put all the other things out of my mind. Don't stress don't worry. The ones that say they love and care. Well, the one that says he does most proves to me once again, He's not here. He's not with me. He is in his own life and doesn't want any responsibility. Wants me to handle all things. If he only knew what he did to me yesterday. Who said abuse has to come at the end of a fist. It als

• Slave to the Shadows

The blackest night Cannot compare To the darkness within Your coldest stare.

• Hes My Love Song

When part of you is sad every corner of my heart hurts too, and when you can’t share your feelings with me my heart gets confused. My head knew that I was bothering you, but my heart took over me, I knew it was the wrong thing to do but sometimes I get lost trying to just be me. Too many sad thoughts were in my head that day, a boys voice that sparkled was the only thing in my heart.

• Three Little Birds People Watching a dialogue

**NOTE** This piece won me 2nd place in a literary contest in junior college. It was written as a dialogue project for my creative writing class....in 2003 maybe? I don't remember. In case you were wondering, I wrote this WAAAY before the windex commercials with the bird flying into the glass. I am convinced they ripped me off somehow. This piece was published in the college literary mag, and won me second place in the drama writing contest (think I got 30 bucks?).

• Quote About Love

“Watching you walk out of my life does not make me bitter or cynical about love. But rather makes me realize that if I wanted so much to be with the wrong person how beautiful it will be when the right one comes along.”

• Light of your Life

She's fragile as a flower Dropping petals by the hour Tougher than she looks, The bait to your hooks The diamond in the coal, Eyes that pierce your soul.

• Penny

The day rose with clarity of vision, Her smile a mask of plastic.

• When Our Fingers Caressed the Silver Moon

• Male Multiple Orgasms

Any man can become "multi-orgasmic". It only requires a basic understanding of male sexuality and certain techniques. Most men's sexuality is focused on the goal of ejaculating, rather than on the actual process of lovemaking. Once a man becomes multi-orgasmic he will not only be able to better satisfy himself, but also more effectively satisfy his partner.

• Marijuana, The Problem Or The Answer

Anyone who has ever read Milton Friedman's Free To Choose (a book everyone interested in Economics should read at some point in their life) knows that Friedman is a staunch supporter of the legalization of marijuana. Friedman isn't alone in that regard, as he joined over 500 economists in signing An Open Letter to the President, Congress, Governors, and State Legislatures on the benefits of legalizing marijuana.

Avalon is a place widely associated with Arthurian Britain, on one or more levels, depending on whom and what you read. In the most fantastical of Arthurian stories, Avalon is a magical place, where Arthur is even now residing, awaiting a call to defend his homeland again from hostile invaders.
