The Words That Calm My Hurricane

Just a writer, terminally diagnosed with an overactive imagination.

If I were to choose my ideal way to die...

... it would involve me on a charging white stallion, leading an army to battle. The sunlight would reflect off my brandished sword, and the war-cries of my men would only be rivaled by the sound of Bonnie Tyler's "Holding Out for a Hero," erupting from the boombox that my first lieutenant would be required to carry at all times.

Today

Me: *finishes Deathly Hallows*

Me: *agonizing depression*

Me: *starts The Philosopher's Stone again*

She knows me so well…

I much prefer an empty room than the loneliness found amongst those who speak just to hear their own voice.

There's something absolutely empty about music these days. It is so devoid of true emotion and purpose.

I'm sure sales are high and youths in clubs are more than satisfied with something to listen to as they grind on each other. But where's the heart?

Where's the passion to inspire?

Try sitting down in a room with something like this playing and it won't be a party. You will be lonely. Like just another lost soul in a sea of misguided ambitions.

It's very rude to post such posts in Fall Out Boy tag. FOB tag is for their fans, not for the ones who aren't amused with them anymore. However, 'lol fall out boy' is the one for you.

Alright Anon, let’s talk about this.

Firstly, who says I’m not a fan? I’m saying their true sound, purpose, and message — as it was when they began — has died, in essence killing them as well. Fandoms are famous for existing after the death of their heroes. Look at Firefly, Mitch Hedberg, or John Lennon. I’m still a huge fan of their pre-hiatus work, and the albums that made Fall Out Boy who they were.Secondly, just because this is a hard truth doesn’t make it inappropriate. This is an opinion that I, a fan for many years, choose to present. It’s not intended to mock, but to lament the loss of a band that formed the soundtrack of a defining period of my life.And lastly, if you think that I was rude, you’re going to have a rough time on the internet.

RIP Fall Out Boy

I can only be in denial for so long. Fall Out Boy never got back together. These songs and videos that are being produced now are of a much lower quality and moral standard. They used to say that believers never die. But I think the problem is they stopped believing in themselves. Fall Out Boy died with Folie A Deux.

When I realized the word "face" was blurry, I figured I would take a second shot. But the more I thought about it, the more fitting it seemed.

Having flatmates from all over the world has given me new insights into other cultures. Today, for example, I learned that some cultures don't seem to believe that knocking is a prerequisite before entering the bathroom...

A flash fiction piece, based on a quick glance at Otto Freundlich's 1930 Composition. Perhaps I'll turn it into something bigger one day.

Last night I spilled red wine on my khaki pants. Today I soaked the stain in vodka before putting them in the wash. Stain gone. Proof that alcohol is always the answer, even when it is also the problem.

My first attempt at this kind of thing. My head tingles from the sharpie, but I think I'll keep it up. It's good to be back.
