Random rantings of the misfit kind.
There are moments in your life in which you'll feel lost, unfocused, unmotivated, unambitious. It will seem like everything you want and dream of is always just out of reach. You will be filled with indescribable pain - pain that doesn't radiate from a clear point, but is felt intensely just the same. Your appetite... Continue Reading →
The other day, I had the most amazing discussion with an older woman, in her early 80s, named Joyce M. I met her at an alteration shop, and she watched as I tried on my bridesmaid dress, waiting to be pinned. She told me how beautiful it was, and we chatted about her wedding, and... Continue Reading →
It's very easy to run away from and avoid the reality of our lives. It's even easier to harbor hatred and feigned indifference, than it is to examine ourselves and determine the role we've played in the demise of something that was once deemed important and beautiful. Hatred is not a clear-cut emotion, but is... Continue Reading →
I wish I were one of those people who could get up early in the morning and feel like they can take on the world. You know who I mean. Those people who rise at five, do a little meditation and yoga, sip some coffee, ponder life and the like. The truth is, I'm not... Continue Reading →

I feel as if I haven't written about relationships in a while, and the inspiration hit when I was having a discussion with a friend on the way home from work today. We were dissecting something I'd read that examined being attracted to and attracting unavailable people (both physically and emotionally), and ultimately, forging faux-lationships with...

I just watched a clip of Kanye West on the Jimmy Kimmel show. Yes, of Kanye West. Now, I realize a lot of people may not be a fan of his, because of his cockiness, his rudeness, his oft-occurring a**hole-ish-ness. I too have said, I’m over Kanye, he’s a cancer on society, his time is over,... Continue Reading →
**cue up the New Edition record**. So many songs about love...what it feels like, what it sounds like, hell, what it tastes like. It isn't a negative emotion, experience, feeling. The very essence of love is in the fact that it denotes positivity and freedom. Love is freedom. Love makes you feel like anything is possible.... Continue Reading →
You can only control your actions - people aren't dolls to play with, or robots to program to do your bidding.
