July

July is the month of my sister’s birthday, a month that I will be forever grateful for. It is also the time that has (previously) been marked by days at the beach full of sun and open air. But no more. Now it will be spent inside while the sunlight beckons me to leave.

since

Ever since I was little boy, I have loved the English language. It has taught me how to express my ideas and communicate with others. However, some terms arent fully understood by me. The word since is though so thats good.

stunt

Oh many of many try to impress ladies with fantastic acts of courage and daring, and some succeed while many fail in these attempts at showmanship. But such is the nature of the word, it can either bring you to greater heights, or leave you at the place you were with a failure to grow.

trunk

A box for keep sakes. The back of a car. The front of an elephant. Dark. Old. Scary. Big. Long.

oil

I spend a large portion of my shopping time worrying about oil. Hydrogenated oils, partially hydrogenated oils, you name it. I try to stick with olive oil or canola oil, but frankly, just the thought of ingesting any kind of oil makes me feel a bit… mechanical, somehow.

stacks

There were several of them, huge towers. They reached the clouds they were so high, with their stacks releasing a thick fog of smoke. On an ordinary day, you could see the smoke billow from a great distance.

port

The port I drink is good fun. I drink it because i like the burn it gives me in my chest and makes me all warm and fuzzy. I love

train

sitting on a train with the countryside rattling past, i had time to contemplate, collect my deep thoughts on the girl left at home. I was getting further away each second that passed and i never told her i loved her. The train was my escape, but do i want to be free?

corner

California Ave SW and SW Edmunds, West Seattle. The corner is cursed. In 12 years, every restaurant in this “prime” location has failed, without reason. Maybe West Seattle’s only curse. I am sorry for the current business that is there, it will fail too.

painted

They paint their faced and put on their skates. Ready to do battle. Circle after circle, jam after jam. These painted roller derby all-stars…smart, sexy, viscious women. Incredible athletes. God I love this sport.

montage

A montage of beautiful images flashes on a screen. A father playing catch with his son. A woman pushing her daughter on a swing. A couple in love walking hand-in-hand on a beach. And without warning, there is a flash, and they all fall dead. This is war. A war montage, not happiness.

wondered

I’ve wondered why I’m at this conference for hours now. Now I’m wondering what will come next. I wonder if I should eat another cookie. Could really go for another coke. The wonder is gone after I’ve wondered about wondering too long. Wonder why.

feud

When a second passes, it is gone forever. All around the world, people suffer. A child will go hungry, a family will lose their home, and many will die. This will occur numerous times in the next 24 hours alone. It makes something as needless as a feud seem rather shortsighted. Our time is better spent loving one another.

gentle

Kiss me gently.

win

To win is to claim superiority. To acknowledge the fact that you have overcome diversity and proved yourself to be the best. There is only one winner.

loan

A loan is something that should be given and taken with trust and dedication. A loan is something that is given with the intention of receiving back later; possibly with interest. A loan should never be given with the intention of expecting something in return. One should never take a loan without the plan to back it up later.

subway

I’ve never been to the subway. In movies, shit always goes down in subways. Trains go off the tracks, bomb threats are made, people are stabbed, graffiti is abundant, and people are crammed.

Sounds like something I’d like to try.

glow

Glow is to be brighter than you are now but only slightly. To glow is to be happy, to radiate happiness from your body. To glow is to be one with God.

twig

twig, branch, limb, tree, those are the things I would want to… something that ryhmes with tree.

I slipped into a comma once…. Wait…. Comma?

mercury

Mercury is the closest planet to our sun. Let me get into more detail. HEY, I DIDN’T KNOW THERE WAS A TIME LIMIT!

resist

Don’t resist. Grief happens. The 7 stages will come and go. It is a chance to learn and grow.

My keyboard is my paintbrush. So I may paint images into the minds of my readers.

shower

Did I take a shower yet?…… Yes. Yes I did.

Did I take a shower today?… Yes I did.

Posted By Troy On 09.14.2009 @ 12:32 pm

Taking a shower, for some reason, made me think. “Why do I take showers?” I thought some more. “I don’t know anyone.” So I killed myself.

oak

I climbed an oak tree once. I climbed it again three years later. I found it a lot easier to climb because it was just a stump. I wondered what happened – ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD A VOICE! “It’s oak-ay, Troy.”
