back at it
hi friends, i am back. again. yes, back again. why do i keep promising to stick with this and just end up neglecting my writing responsibilities? i do not know. what i do know is that writing helps me a lot. it's my second favorite therapy next to dancing. it would probably be my first favorite therapy if i allowed myself to really write about myself - but that's neither here nor there. i write to write, i write to entertain, i write to think, i write to feel. right now i feel... OK. i'm not happy, not sad. not axious or lonely. i'm not content either - i should be doing something different with my life at this point in time. but i'm not. in time, in time. for now... i write.

lyrics of the day
shake down, you make me break
for goodness sake
i think i'm on the edge of something new with you
shout out, don't drown the sound
i'll drown you out
you'll never scream so loud as i want to scream with you
standing there with your smile blinding
your eyes from seeing my face as i'm dying
to figure out a girl
but she drifts so far away
i'm on her coast so maybe i should stay
and map around your world
so don't say "these currents are still killing me"
and you can't explain
but the wind went and pulled me into your hurricane
into your hurricane
stand up, don't make a sound
your ears might bleed
there are sweet fluorescent enemies that live inside of me
the world moves faster than i knew
not fast enough to not creep up on you
and the space we put between
so pull me under your weather patterns
your cold fronts and the rain don't matter
because the sun burns what i needed
so don't say "these currents are still killing me"
and you can't explain
but the wind went and pulled you into the hurricane
into the hurricane
you don't do it on purpose but you make me shake
now i count the hours 'til you wake
with your babies breath, breathe symphonies
Come on, sweet catastrophe
well, maybe this time i can follow through
i can feel complete, stop paying dues
stop the rain from falling, keep my ocean calm
this time i know nothing's wrong
so don't say "these currents are still killing me"
and you can't explain
but the wind went and pulled me in and no,
you don't say "these currents are still killing me"
and you can't explain
but the wind went and pulled me into your hurricane
into your hurricane
into your hurricane

hurricane irene in pictures
i was fortuante enough to get out of harms way (read: the flood zone that hoboken becomes in even the most minor of rain showers) and camp out at my parents' house in central jersey. i was also fortunate that none of my belongings or the property that i reside on had any damage to report. however, some people were not so lucky...
help your neighbors. pay it forward.

happy september !!!
well, my friends. i am here! i know, i know. i said this all before: that i was going to take more time, put more of my energy into writing and creating and simply being THERE - wherever there may be.
truth be told, i got sidetracked. by life. by the loves and the losses and the whirlwind of information surrounding me every second of every day. by the heat of the summer sun and the temptation of being elsewhere. it got to be too much! the mixture of living life and loving pop culture was overwhelming me and rather than let it consume me and (ultimately) get the best of me - which, in retrospect, doesn't sound like such a terrible idea... - i stepped away.
now, i have it together. now, i am ready to bring it.
SEPTEMBER, LET'S GO!

lyrics of the day
have you seen her? stressed out all the time.
yeah i’ve been there, worried 'bout the bottom line.
she has always counted back from ten to one
pressing herself up against time.
i have always counted up from one to ten
trusting that each moment is right.
well i'm showin all my trust
i’m resting on my laurels.
i’m hoping for the best
but i’m waiting for some time 'cause
life seems longest when
when you think it's short and the pressure is on.
call it what you call it
each breath seems so grand when your life’s on the line.
if your eyes could see what my eyes have seen
i'd be yours, you’d be mine.
call it what you call it
each breath seems so grand when your life’s on the line.
he’s a fighter
he sees from fist to fist, not eye to eye.
fights his demons, but he fights them on the outside.
he has never looked at himself from within
he drinks a bit then looks for a fight.
i have always thought i was an innocent man
but now i’m running for my life.
and i've shown them all my trust
i've rested all my laurels.
i’m hoping for the best
but i’m running for my life 'cause
life seems longest when
when you think it's short and the pressure is on.
call it what you call it
each breath seems so grand when your life’s on the line.
if your eyes could see what my eyes have seen
i'd be yours, you’d be mine.
call it what you call it
each breath seems so grand when your life’s on the line.
and i've shown them all my trust
i've rested all my laurels.
i’m hoping for the best
but i’m running for my life 'cause
life seems longest when
when you think it's short and the pressure is on.
call it what you call it
each breath seems so grand when your life’s on the line.
if your eyes could see what my eyes have seen
i'd be yours, you’d be mine.
call it what you call it
each breath seems so grand when your life’s on the line.
when your life's on the line
i'd be yours, you'd be mine.
when your life's on the line
i'd be yours, you'd be mine.

lyrics of the day
if you touch me well i just think i'll scream
'cause it's been so long since someone challenged me
made me think about the way things are
made me think about the way they could be
i believe it, oh my
ooh my lord, ooh my lord
yea, i don't even know why
oh! this feeling, it is wonderful. don't you ever turn it off
oh! this feeling, it is wonderful. don't you ever turn it off
feelings, oh my
human needs heartbeats
i can see it by the way you smile
i'm smiling too, i see myself in you
i am with it
ooh man, i am wired
ooh my lord, ooh my lord
yeah, now i really know why
oh! this feeling, it is wonderful. don't you ever turn it off
oh! this feeling, it is wonderful. don't you ever turn it off

I'M ALIVE !!!!!!
hey friends, i know it's been quite awhile since i've tended to my site. and for that... I'M SORRY! a lot has happened in the world: oprah said goodbye, weinergate, kim kardashian got engaged. man oh man, the world doesn't stop turning just because i stop writing, which is a good thing! that's how it should be!
as for me, i'm ok. i'm living. i've been working a lot (BOO!) and phishing a lot (YAYAYAY!) and trying new things (MEHHH!). i'm anxious to get this summer (concert series) going because although it will be a hot one, it will be a great one. i've been going out and making out and meeting new people, 'tis what the story of a single girl's life should be. and i'm happy to say that i'm... content. not happy so much, i think i'm still working on it. but not miserable (at least not by any social means...). i have a lot of changes i need to make, which i'm going to try to work on in the next couple of weeks. allergies are killing me, what else is new.
moral of the story is this: i am making sure to make this a priority of mine. it's a hobby, it's a passion, and it's a release. sure, it's just pop culture. (just. pop. culture.) but it's also my life. and if writing makes me happy, then writing is what i shall do!
stay tuned, ya'll. i'm baaaaaaack :)
