Overheard in New York
Student: Wait so why is everyone switching to blue ray?
Professor: Because the film industry follows the porn industry. (pauses) That's the truth. That's where all the money is.
Student: (stares blankly)
Professor: What? It's a billion-dollar industry. I can't be the only guy who buys it.
Student: (stares horrified)
Professor: Fuck you. I have tenure.

At least for one day
I was a runner again and it felt just like it used to feel.
On a day like today, I needed it to.

Coincidentally
I wrote a Haiku last night that is incredibly similar to the Haiku I reblogged today from Tyler Knott. It’s sitting in my drafts now and probably will be for a while (or at least until Tyler’s Haiku has been bumped back to page two or three).
Still, I’m not surprised at the similarity. The language of love is universal.

and I dream just to hold you
let me never wake.”

Brief Haiku Commentary
I need to stop writing so late at night and maybe save things to as drafts before I post them. While I like the point of the Haiku I wrote at 1:00am last night, it’s not very pretty. I’ll leave it be, unedited, but that doesn’t mean I have to like it.
Ah well. The only way I will become better is if I keep trying.

Another one-note-human.
At least that note’s love”

The world's a rollercoaster and I am not strapped...
I need to start going to bed earlier.
It’s more painful at night, more poignant. At night, I find myself buckling under it’s weight. Why am I so weak when she is so strong? It never seems to get to her like it gets to me. And yet every morning refreshes me because it brings me one day closer to what I’ve been waiting for.

Pardon me
Tonight was not one of my best showings in any way, shape, or form. To all those that were with me, I apologize. To all those that helped me I am deeply indebted. To all those that don’t know what I’m talking about, carry on.

Why did one straw break the camel's back? Here's...
I’m just going to bitch right now. My whopping four followers would do better to skip this post.
Today wasn’t a bad day. Nothing particularly awful happened to me or anyone I know. I had an easy day at work, I took a nap, and I lounged around all day. But I still felt like absolutely shit.
I’m lonely. I feel neglected. I’ve had an on again off again migraine for the past...

I've crunched the numbers
Approximately 70% of this blog is about the journey that has consumed me for the past four months: falling in love.
Don’t I have anything else to write about? Life isn’t all about love. On second thought, maybe it is (or at least a great deal of it).
Throughout the course of the day, other things happen to me. They’re just not particularly noteworthy. When I look back on today...
