Perspective.

Life comes at you in so many ways, it’s impossible to fathom. It’s wild how many different events can affect everyone around you. An unexpected death in a circle of friends, a Break-up, ending a favorite TV show, getting your tires slashed, ripping off someone selling concert tickets or having a pipe burst in your house. A majority of life is out of our hands, and we all have to accept that. Whether it’s believing in a higher power or not dwelling on the problem and focusing on a solution. In the end the pieces will fit together, they might look dysfunctional and impossible to fit. But they will. You can’t complete a puzzle all at once; one piece at a time.

And that’s all I have to say about that…

I Think About You Everyday

I think about you every day. Especially today.

I think about all the laughs we had, all the inside jokes and all of the special quirks.

I think about remembering your stuff for you, and talking you through times of distress.

I think about how you fit in my arms and how easy it was to sleep.

I can hear you laugh, see you smile and feel your sights on me when you’re no where around.

I want you to know that nothing we had was in vain. I loved you and still do. I made plans and was excited for them. I can still imagine them vividly.

I try to forget all the stupid fights and arguments, they don’t even matter as far as I’m concerned.

I’m sorry things fell apart. It’s no one’s fault, really. Minds change, hearts falter and fate takes over.

Please don’t be sad. Please believe in our love. Cause that’s important to remember: Minds change and hearts falter.

I’ll never stop loving you, I’ll always be here when you need me, I’ll worry about you and I’ll think about you everyday.

Happy 24th.

Spider

Dear spider that creates a web between the tree in my front yard and my roommates car,

I’m sorry I destroy your web everyday. It happens to be in the very center of the path I walk most. I understand that you spend a lot of time in effort into recreating that web day after day, and for that I’m very sorry. People live here now though, maybe its time to move to less populated areas. If it wasn’t me walking through your stringy fortress it would be someone else. But let’s face it, what’s convenient for me will never be convenient for you. I hope you understand.

Yours truly,
Alex

P.s. thanks for not following me inside. That situation would be even more unfortunate.

Patience is a virtue.

Irritable. Frustrated. Bothered. Upset. Pissed. Annoyed. Cantankerous. Edgy. Maddened. Sensitive. Irate. Just a few things I’ve felt today. I’ve found that keeping your cool and not exploding all over the world is a hard thing to accomplish sometimes. I also found that it’s the little things that eat at you more than anything. Someone chewing gum with their mouth open, the clicking of your turning signal, the scraping of silverware on a plate, someone who doesn’t speak English, feeling claustrophobic from wearing sneakers instead of sandals. Then people have the nerve to expect you to be polite and to smile. Screw you. Keeping composure can drive you insane. “It’s times like these, when silence means everything…”  Unfortunately, I have no idea how to combat this feeling. Count backwards from ten? Close your eyes and take deep breaths? Punch a wall? Scream? I guess its different for everybody. Personally, I enjoy a Hookah to myself and maybe my favorite Brand New CD or a good movie, or the company of someone intelligent. Hell, even writing this has helped a little.

Frustration.

First off, hello and welcome to my new blog, I suppose. I don’t write enough anymore and I figured this would fuel my fire a little. My posts will probably appear in all different types of formats, but will mostly consist of what little insight I can gather about society from observing the world around me. I, in no way, will post these thoughts or ideas and claim them to be truth or try to force them down your throat. Nor will I pretend that I practice what I preach. If you like what I’m saying, comment, I’d love your input. If you don’t like what I am saying, comment, I’d love your input.

Tonight I’ll leave you with this. Be honest. What I mean is, always tell the whole story, don’t be afraid to tell the truth, you should be more scared about keeping up a lie than just being brutally honest. And the truth is that the truth will always hurt somebody. Don’t fight the inevitable.
