Men. Are they really this bad?

So, you know those articles they post on the Yahoo! home page? Every couple of days there's a relationship one. "Why Men Cheat" is a common one, I've noticed. Today's relationship article was about dating (shocking). That's not what this post is about. At the end of those articles are always links to similar articles.

Now, when I'm bored at work (like I am now) "Why Guys Dump Girls They Dig" easily captures my attention and before I know it, I'm 2 pages deep into theories about why my past relationships ended.

Ok, I know that this is a Cosmo article. Not exactly the most reliable source. But still, I can't shake the nightmare it would mean if this article reported truth. I mean, many of these "theories" could explain why my most recent break up went down the way it did, but it's not really a consolation.

Can anyone deny these claims? I'd really hate to believe that guys are this scumbag-pig-jerk-asshole-like.

Night

In 9th or 10th grade, I read the book Night by Elie Wiesel. If you haven't read it, I recommend it. It's about Wiesel's experience surviving the concentration camps. His story really touched me and I wrote this poem:

I used to think the night was short
back when sleep
overcame me the
moment
my head hit the cottoncloudlike pillow
back when dreams were
accompanied by sunshine sonatas
with visions of chocolate palaces and marshmallow beds
The hours flowed by unnoticed like a soft
stream in the woods until
all of a sudden
it would be
morning

but

now i know better
now i know how long the
night really is
now i know that each
hour is composed of sixty miserable minutes
which are formed by sixty
excruciating seconds
and in each second an eternity elapses
my nights are spent
sleepless
in this
hell
where mercy graces no one
where death lingers like fog in the city
where there is
no God
in every eternalsecond
i’m reminded that my days are numbered
that at any moment they
could choose me
as the next number to
die
but what i fear the most
is not death or
laborious days with no food
no what makes me shiver with trepidation in every bit of my being
is
surviving

Keith Lee Trio

This is one of my all time favorite bands! (and not just 'cause my brother is the lead singer!) This was a really good show! Here's Keith Lee Trio playing Voodoo Child and an original called, Don't Play with My Heart. You can see more of them and buy their music at www.myspace.com/keithleetrio and become a fan of them on facebook :)

Scarf Project!

I thought I'd show you guys what I'm working on currently :) I found this scarf pattern on Raverly. And I got the yarn as a gift from my on of my many knitting aunts. I really love this yarn...it reminds me of playdough icecream :) I've only had playdough icecream one place in my life and it's gone now. I'd love to know if anyone else has had/remembers it!





This is a close up of the pattern. It's really neat :)



I got a little happy with the camera.



Yay new sunglasses!

post secret

This was taken from postsecret.com. They update every sunday and reading the new secrets is one of my favorite things to do at the end of the week. It's just so powerful because there are some that you really feel for. There are so many secrets that touch my heart...it makes me want to give the person a hug and tell them everything is going to be okay.
I chose to post this one, not because I think my life is boring (cuz I don't) but because I love David Sedaris and I feel for the person who wrote this. I want to tell them that they can tell their story better than David Sedaris could, that they have that ability...they just need to believe in themselves.
I dunno...I guess it's a good thing I'm going to be an RA. I like helping people a lot.

Anyways, if you don't already, I highly recommend checking the site and/or buying the post secret books. It's quite the experience.
