You could say 1 in a million… sounds romantic and all… but wouldn’t it be even better to say, “you’re 1 in (current world population)”? The lower the percentage, the more special! No? Ok, maybe not… This cold weather is so sudden, but strangely enough this time around it’s not unwelcomed. I always feared this darkness, this biting weather, but something’s shifted and I can handle it, this time around. ...still I will look forward to summer days. Always look forward. disregard 2008-10-31T00:32:00-05:00 http://www.dark-thirty.com/index.php/site/i_hate_having_ties_with_people/ http://www.dark-thirty.com/index.php/site/i_hate_having_ties_with_people/#When:13:59:00Z Pete, it’s a fool that looks for logic in the chambers of the human heart. - Ulysses Everett McGill, O Brother, Where art Thou It’s not fair, really. This whole emotion thing. There really is no logic whatsoever to it. And it’s so hard when someone asks you to justify your feelings. You simply can’t. Logic has nothing to do with it. You can love a person for the same exact reasons you hate someone else. You can easily forgive what one person does, and yet be so cold to another over the same matters. We can give reasons and try to flesh out the why’s of the heart, but when it comes down to it, it just is. We can’t control what we feel, but we do have a hold over our actions. But sometimes, it’s just really hard, isn’t it? It can all be too overwhelming sometimes, you can’t help what you feel, you can’t help what you do. We can’t justify our feelings, yet we can justify our actions by what we feel. It’s not fair, really.

Wow, October already. I’ve archived selected entries from 2002.

It wasn’t even ten yet and already our eyes were drooping, conversation null and attentions drifting elsewhere. I remembered another night: off the cold, wind-swept streets of Chinatown, sitting across my companion in a small, brightly-lit restaurant. Conversation was full then, our laughter mingling in the warm air with the other patrons’ discourse. Our discussions ranged from updating each other of current situations, to reminiscing on past events we’d already reminisced about hundreds of times, and to random, random topics (it was this that brought us together as friends in the first place – healthy common interest). Conversation ebbed and flowed that night, the pace never settled into one, but the comfort level was always constant. It was during that time when the pauses were longer that she asked, “So how’s           ?” And that memory led me down another train of thought.

Reevaluate. Remember, and know, what’s important. I don’t believe you can be genuinely good to others when you can’t be good to yourself. Sometimes we just need to slow down. Stop thinking. Breathe. Reevaluate our actions. And just remember and know what’s important. It’s not easy because we have to put things down; maybe our pride, or the things we really want, or our egos, and even all three and more. I really believe that the hardest thing to get over is ourselves, but once that happens, things are a little easier to handle. Things become a bit clearer, and the will to move forward is just a bit stronger. But maybe that’s just me. If anything, just don’t ever forget who or what is important to you. I love you (plural). And I miss you (plural). I’m doing the best I know how. But you, how are you? Y’all need to give me a sign if you still come around this part of the web ;’) personal 2008-09-11T17:35:00-05:00 http://www.dark-thirty.com/index.php/site/aughhh/ http://www.dark-thirty.com/index.php/site/aughhh/#When:14:37:00Z August?

It’s not that the word is being used more often than it was before you learned it, it’s just that now...now you’re made aware of it. personal 2008-07-20T02:03:00-05:00 http://www.dark-thirty.com/index.php/site/hope_for_the_best_expect_the_worst/ http://www.dark-thirty.com/index.php/site/hope_for_the_best_expect_the_worst/#When:03:35:00Z The past few entries seem so… dark. But really, summer has been wonderful to me. A few little moments of darkness here and there, and then… I’m searching for the light. I always end up neglecting d-30.

A lonely and quiet one at that. The music never helps any, and the Aqua Teen in the background can only do so much to make me chuckle. It quickly fades into tired smiles anyway. This humor is lost on me, but it allows for memories to dwell on. When life be stressin me… my remedy be bringing back sweet memories... ...Laughter around a campfire(oh those stars), sparkling water(lake water? or clear, white sand beaches?), and rain… The rain is falling… those lazy, introspective moods; quiet conversations deep into the night. Even perhaps silent conversations and side-long glances. Everyone’s getting away, going away, go away.

And this kitchen is as bare as when I first came. My room’s gotten messy, but it always gets messy. Mhmm. I always clean ‘later’ though, so it’s ok. This place has a lot of room with no TV to fill it with background noise, but I’m armed with a laptop and some DVD’s. That usually keeps me laughing - until I notice the time. And then my showers are wonderfully hot and long. Too bad my sleep is short and not very deep. It’s easy to notice, and it’s also easy to not acknowledge, what’s there and what isn’t.
