Be Kind, Rewind

"In life there is no rewind button, only a play button..so play it right" - Philup's mom

Sometimes I wish there was a rewind button..

Rewind, to relive a favorite moment
Rewind, to take back something stupid you said
Rewind, to do something differently

There was this guy being loud in the front of the train.
I looked up to see what he was screaming about.
He was this blind guy asking for some change.
Then he pulled out his glass eyeball from its socket.


I wish I hadn't looked up.

I hate it when Wednesdays

I hate it when....

... we feel the summer heat at the END of summer.

... you dance for a few hours, and you go to use the restroom and the damn toilet seat covers stick to your butt.

... you only have one dollar left in your wallet.

... you're at a cypher and everyone is just looking at each other, waiting for someone else to jump in.

... people have a preconceived notion of who you are, when they don't really understand.

... pms comes around.

... you run to the bus stop, but when you get there the bus is already leaving.


damn you hump day.

Proud to be an American

Everytime I hear someone singing the Star Spangled Banner,
I can't help getting so emotional.

I look at time standing still for a second,
while our flag waves proudly.
I start to look at everyone,
all the Americans,
of many colors, sizes, ethnicities
in the same room without any segregation.
I start to think about how far this country has come
and how much it has accomplished.
I start to think how lucky I am
to be in a country where I can be free,
and feel so proud.
I listen to the song bird who was honored
to be chosen to sing this sacred song
and all its powerful lyrics.
I feel that every American at that moment
is connected.


Then Keri Hilson goes to the Laker Game and messes up the lyrics to the National Anthem.

We should definitely take away her citizenship....
or kick her out of America.

Dancing spirits

Sometimes I forget how much I love to dance...

I was on the subway listening to my ipod,
and this guy sits on the seat in front mine,
bopping his head to the music on his ipod.

His head bopping was totally in sync with my music!

I watched him intently,
seeing how long this vibe would last for.
He was so full out grooving to the beat,
it made me want to dance in my seat too.

I admire people who can just dance,
full out,
anywhere they want to,
even if its totally inappropriate.

This one time at the gym,
I saw this nerdy guy dancing in the aerobics room.
And although he was a TERRIBLE dancer,
He danced,
with his eyes closed,
and limbs flaying about,
and a big smile on his face,
not caring who was watching him.


I guess Gloria was right...

The rhythm IS gonna get ya.

There was a 10.1 earthquake...

...in my heart.


My most comfortable surroundings
have been shifted and damaged.
Love has not been the same.
There have been unstable conditions,
lots of love,
lots of hate,
too much pressure to hold in for too long...
I knew someday my heart would crack.


Thunderstorms at night,
and cloudy eyes
that condensate into raindrops,
flooding my bloodstream with tears,
and engulfing my heart whole.

my ecosystem is in an unhealthy state
changes need to be made
or life....

or love
as i know it

will come to an end.

Empty words
break
my empty heart.

Love sick
with no cure.

F-you cupid,
for backstabbing me with your arrow.
