Anxiety (11/11/15)

I have tasks to do. 

I worry, worry, worry... 

I cannot function.

Christmas Outsider (11/11/15)

Lights shine and sparkle. 

Christmastime is contagious.

Why can’t I catch it?

As John Green once said, 

“Books belong to their readers.”

That is the good stuff.

On Poetic Meaning (11/11/15)

What is the meaning

of a word, a line, a verse,

but that which we want?

[hellohaiku-blog1]

I'm sorry, man, but I've got magic. I've got poetry in my fingertips. Most of the time- and this includes naps- I'm an F-18, bro. And I will destroy you in the air. I will deploy my ordinance to the ground.

We fact-checked it, and Ted Cruz has this one right:

There are more words in the Bible than in the IRS’ tax code.

[hellohaiku-blog1]

Quantity of words

only makes difficult the

interpretation.

Hey can you write something about the season of fall?

Sidewalk: autumn leaves,

the “crunch” of things yet to come,

winter’s soft whisper.

and where toes Tina begin?

One is my soulmate.

Why is this a good idea?

This is not okay.

Things to Remember When Complaining About HP Casting:

Daniel Radcliffe tried to wear contacts but they irritated his eyes.

Evanna Lynch was not promised the part if she beat anorexia, she auditioned and got it herself. J.K. Rowling was both pleased and surprised when she found out.

MOST OF THE MAIN CHARACTERS WERE CAST WHEN THEY WERE FREAKIN’ TEN YEARS OLD! OH MY GOD! THE FILMMAKERS HAD NO IDEA WHAT THEY WOULD LOOK LIKE WHEN THEY GREW UP! THEY DIDN’T KNOW EMMA WOULD BE SO PRETTY! THEY DIDN’T KNOW RUPERT WOULDN’T BE LANKY! AND THEY DIDN’T KNOW THAT DAN WOULD BE SO SHORT!

Matthew Lewis would slay all

and be eye candy.

The Glamour Women of the Year Awards honored many incredible women — but Reese Witherspoon stole the show with this speech about. She not only hit on issues of representation and ambition, but detailed the grave mistake Hollywood is making when it comes to women on screen.

“Ambition is not 

a dirty word.” I broke mid-

line for this wisdom.
