burning

Burning is something which fire does. Fire is hot and angry and, oftentimes, rather unpleasant. I wonder why fire seems so malevolent, so antagonistic. Perhaps fire was unloved as a child, the victim of some Freudian mistake by his mother which rendered fire incapable of compassion or love. Poor fire. I’d wager all fire needs is someone to love.

cliffs

Jasno stood at the top of a mountain, overlooking a green and jagged landscape from the mountain’s sheer cliff. He was pondering what he was doing there. He wasn’t sure how he’d got up there; he didn’t remember. He was wondering if he had gone up unconsciously, if his recent problems had driven him up there.

metro

I really like the metro systems in DC and San Francisco. I do wish we would get a system like that here in Texas, but I just don’t see that happening in the near future. First off, the people in charge can’t seem to wrap their heads around public transport and secondly, our cities are far too spread out to the metro system to be initially effective.

branch

fall softly you couldn’t make a sound but everything you had meant to say was clear as the day fall softly

I have 60 seconds to write about the word “branch”. There are many meanings so I’ll go with the one the I thought of first. The branch of a bank. Banks are large corporations and they have many branches. A branch is one location, in a specific city or region.

welfare

A necessary safety net in any society worth its salt. While It’s certainly abused by some small percentage, over all it is invaluable to the poorest among us.

flour

Shame really, the man thought as he looked across the field, this place used to be beautiful, He looked again; he saw men dead, blood splattered across every thing. Except. . . he looked down, at his feet was a flower. A single white rose untouched by the combat. The man smiled woefully, for it was the last of its kind.

I stood in the field and looked around, the lilies were the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. I fell to my knees and wept. And my goal became clear.

bagel

One day in the summer, I went to a bagel shop. It was my first time I went to one. It wasn’t too packed, very mellow atmosphere. I ordered a blueberry bagel with blueberry creamcheese. Great combo right? I figured they;’d go good together.

fabricated

TO fabricate. That’s like when you dress yourself in the morning and you don’t know what face to wear that day. Woah that’s deep. Like how you look in the mirror and think to yourself, what would people think of me if they actually knew how crazy I was? Would anyone talk to me? That’s a question no one can answer

plague

The black plague took the lives of millions through Europe. In the 1980s, it returned in the form of HIV/AIDS. Instead of being viewed as victims with an incurable disease, these people were instead deemed punished by god for their actions. We lost humanity and thousands of brilliant minds in that time.

tornado

It’s funny how tornadoes can be so hit and miss. They sometimes only have a width of some 50 yards. And the path is continuously changing. It seems like there is another untouchable force in the world that controls these.

winged

This is how I’ve lived my life thus far. I’ve winged just about everything you can imagine. And as I’ve been getting older and have more responsibilities, I’m getting sucker punched by this mentality. I’ve come to appreciate the simple beauty of checklists.

beware

Wariness is important, you should be ware of everything. People are fragile things that bruise and shatter easily. Not everybody is out to hurt you but certainly nobody is out to help you.

signals

Signals are stupid things people give you because they think you’ll understand them better as opposed to a person just telling you how they feel.

the bed was all red and there was a scream that came from the bathroom. Who could this be there was only one person in the room. Or was there? The question was one of ho

bleeding. some people are frightened by it. i just see it as a big mess, a big bloody mess. i suppose it’s not so bad for smaller injuries, but all i can picture are large gaping wounds with blood pouring out of them.

leathery

The sofa was leathery and I just wanted it to be softer so I went to the store. On my way i bought some beef jerky at the convenient store and it was really salty, totally awesome, but leathery and I started thinking damn I wish I had some tender jerky. At the store they gave me a couch that was really soft, not made of leather, but velvet.

think

Thinking can be a dangerous activity. Sometimes it fills one with joy and happiness with memories and daydreams and fantasies. But all too often it brings about a darker side of a person. Bringing up regrets, fears, anxieties, and faults that cause deep sadness within. Yet it is the one thing that defines us as a species. The one thing that has led to so much progress.

murder

I was sat in my house on that sunday, when i heard the screams, the screams of those terrified kids over in the orphanage, i had no idea what was going on, i just waited till morning.

size

Size does matter. I hate to say it, but it’s the truth. Standing at 6’3″, I always play this fact into my favor. Well, when I’m in the situations when size does matter. Also, I’m tired. Dang medical school interviews.

end

The end is always upon us. Creeping on us closer and closer until we realize it’s right behind us, waiting to swallow us whole! But that’s alright, the end only brings the one aspect of life that is the same for everyone – change.

master

Master…isn’t that when you practice something for 10,000 hours? I haven’t done the math, but I wonder how many 10,000 hours I’ve been alive, thus answering the question of how many things I could have mastered in my life. One of them definitely is clicking on links on the internet. Hooray?

promise

I have promised a lot of things to a lot of people without following through with them. Only very recently did this come back to bite. They say you learn the lesson after making a mistake, and I promise you, they’re right.

must

Must. Must is an often misinterpreted and sadly, occasionally overused. need to one person is nothing to another. When it’s used correctly,however, it’s a dramatic call to Action, never timid or optional, and is often followEd by conquer or succeed it’s really, again perhaps sadly, a word of the past. Now instead of dramatic and fire and TRUE need, must is us Ed for trivial and self employing purposes. It’s often overused and misinterpreted.

reference

You need a reference to apply for a job. You need them to tell people that you’re a good, reliable person.

placed

I placed my wallet on the table. I placed the shoes in their container. I placed my fingers on the keyboard. Placed is the wonderful word (and time) between being grasped and discarded.

Five minutes ago i had heard that it was a baby girl. But within those five minutes i heard that my wife died… And with her my soul died as well. Five minutes later i was allowed to see my baby girl.
