Breathe In
Great. Thanks to my reblog, I’ve got cigarette smoking on the brain. Itchy little topic.
I’m a non-smoker; I’ve smoked 3 cigarettes in my life. Didn’t appeal to me —smelly clothes, residual aftertaste, super-addictiveness— so I quit. Heh. Huge sacrifice. Only three.
The first was when I was 16. My oldest sister was the rebel of the family (piercings, tattoos,...
Get Real
Overhead two co-workers talking yesterday about being famous.
One of them, a girl my age, says “I want to be famous. Seems like all you have to do to get famous these days is get on the right reality show. Gonna work on that.”
I just walked by them, sighing to myself.
If you really want to be famous, why not try… oh, I dunno, doing something worth remembering?
Sheesh. This...

Outlets
I saw Terra Naomi (http://www.terranaomi.com/) play the Hotel Cafe last week, and after her set I talked with her a little. She’d brought along some of her sketchbook art and I purchased 2 pieces. She asked me if I had a creative outlet; I told her no, not really. She encouraged me to find something of my own. As the convo slowed, I bid her farewell.
This is the first piece that caught my...

Didn’t get the job, cried about it a bit, feel like total shit right now.
I want a job so bad, I want two jobs. I just want to feel useful again.
I’m a little depressed right now. I’ll get over it, I’m just really upset. I don’t get why I seem to not be getting call backs when I know I’m an excellent employee.
Sorry about that. Something better will come up for you. Just keep...
Forever
Everyone is going to be writing or talking about this today. There will be tears shed, flags waved, views spouted, memories shared. People all over the nation will exchange stories about where they were and what they felt and how everything changed. What time has erased and what it can never take away. Countless lives lost in an ongoing battle no one truly understands.
I was 17. I was no where...
DIY
I understand how even family can be oblivious to your needs and capabilities. I get it.
But, damn it, I get frustrated sometimes.
A couple of months ago, my oldest sister Dee called and asked me if I could scan and email “a few” pictures for her. She needed them done by October for an old school alumni project. I agreed. Recently, my mid sis visited Dee several states away. Upon her...
