Ryan: Did this happen on company property?
Michael: It was on company property, with company property. So, double jeopardy, we're fine.
Ryan: I don't think-- I don't think you understand how jeopardy works.
Michael: Oh, I'm sorry. What is, 'we're fine'?

“The bloom of imagination that happens when things are mistranslated is a principle in the music I write.” -David Longstreth of The Dirty Projectors
Music is a funny little thing. Everyone has that “one song” that they feel represents who they are or how they feel in certain periods of their life. We listen to a song we hadn’t heard in a year or two and...

4 o'clock in the morning.
I’ve been getting into a habit where I decidedly put off homework until the last possible minute. I get up an hour before I usually do and try to complete the assignment. Aside from me being groggy and possibly unpleasant the next day, nothing too too awful has happened. I get the work done and it even looks like I knew what I was doing at the time.
This morning was day 2 of this nonsense.

Ain't I a Doll?
Ahhh finals tomorrow and Friday. I just got done doing make up work to raise my AP Literature & Composition grade. I’ve been studying AP Psychology, Environmental science and Trigonometry too.
And I just filled out my ACT registration. :D
I’ve felt like such a grown up today.
Leave me out with the waste, this is not what I...

Me: Did you know that Hitler was a liberal?
Bradley: No he was not.
Me: Ohhh so now you're defending Hitler? What does that say about your character?
Bradley: .....
Me: You're sick.

suddenly overcome by this irrational desire to rack up more than just “1” Tumbarlity point.

Angst & Caffeine
let me just try and get this out into one nice, cohesive little package.
It’s kind of funny, I get on Tumblr whenever my emotions get worked up. Even when the people that I really actually know are the ones who have probably never even heard of Tumblr (with the exception of a spare few…) So if I’m spitting into the wind, okay.
I feel as if I’m drowning. I keep screwing...

everything has changed.
I’m not sure where exactly I should begin. Life has been pretty crazy lately, but when has that ever been news. My desires have been in two different places the past month or so: what I want & what God wants for me. I want: security. peace of mind. to be held. to move on. comfort in my own skin. a soul that dares and defies. not to be lonely anymore. He wants: a pure life. a heart purged...
Trouble in Vegas
The drama just keeps crawling into my life. I get rids of things I don’t have to worry about, but it wouldn’t matter because everything else decides to fall apart. It’s almost as if everything is supposed to be hard.
I’m tired of the hypocrisy and the petty behavior. Even on my part.
There has got to be some sort of life-cleanse I could do, to try to get the toxins out of...

last call
You’ve got your stories and you’d swear it’s by design
But you won’t live out your stories
Unless the stars and the moon are practically aligned.
You’ve got your methods, but I was born to foil your plans
I’ve picked up a few of your methods
Don’t you recognize the slide of your own hand?
The desert calls your name again
The valley calls your name...

The Boys Next Door
Hello. My name is Arnold Wiggins. I’m basically a nervous person. I don’t have a nickname so I pretend Arnold is my nickname so when someone calls me ‘Arnold’, I pretend that they are my close and personal friends who know me by my nickname…Arnold.
living out the dream?
Okay okay okay okay… Tumblr has been long awaiting one of these.
A vent. A rant. A tyraid. A fragile and obscure attempt at me trying to spill out all my emotions and ponderings like a kid at a gumball machine with a bottomless pocket full of quarters. Whaaaaaaaa…
High scool. It sucks. And its depressing. I no longer awake to the inquisitive spirit within me, curious for what...
