We're Going To Be Friends
I feel like it’s a bit of a cop-out if I don’t write something about this day. It was truly an excellent day. I am incredibly thankful for the friends I have and the year we’ve all had together.
This is the end of an era though. Everybody is going their separate ways for the next four months, and when we are all back in the fall, it’ll be different than it is now. But...

Lit Up
The boy sat on the curb of the parking lot, just in front of a small copse of trees. He was sitting, waiting. The church parking lot was bustling with people getting out of their cars to go in for the 5:30 mass. He stared at the building forlornly.
I could join them, he thought for a fleeting moment.
But it passed. He turned his head up to the overcast sky. He was still waiting, had been for a...

Late Night Thought
If Lady Gaga disappeared forever, the world would be no worse off. Same with Katy Perry, Justin Beiber and a whole host of other artists who really don’t do much in my mind to offer anything constructive to society.
The worst of these is Gaga though, in my mind. And I understand that she has some fans. And I understand that some of her music isn’t terrible, and is actually catchy.
I...

Nostalgia
I’ve always loved the Gin Blossoms’ song, “Found Out About You.” I sincerely believe it is one of the greatest songs ever recorded and I would probably list it in my top ten songs of all time.
Recently, I’ve been O’ding on it. I’ve listened to it in excess of 25 times in the past 2 days.
And my whole reason for doing it is pure, unmitigated nostalgia for...
Playlist
I’m making a playlist
to try to take my mind off it
but it’s not really working
because all I seem to be able
to do
is put together songs
that make me feel old
or worse
than I did before

Me: So I started shaving with a real razor and shaving cream and all that
Dad: Yea? Hows that going?
Me: It's a pretty good time
Dad: I have never heard shaving described that way
Top 20 Albums of...
The 90’s today. I’m on a bit of a 90’s nostalgia kick at the moment, but don’t expect to see Nevermind on here. Because, spoiler alert, it’s not. There were far more excellent albums that came out and were simply overshadowed by the monumental sales figures of that one. Even if it’s not a bad record. Which it’s not. But anyways, I’ll critique Nirvana...

I wanted to apologize
I wanted to say I say I was sorry
I wanted to be there for her
I wanted to give her a shoulder to cry on
I wanted her to know I cared
But more than anything in that moment
I wanted to sit next to her on that
couch.
But I couldn’t,
because he was right there instead
