Hello again, and today is Monday, March 11, 2013. Do you ever notice how small of a world we experience. I mean, the whole entire world is HUGE, but our day to day world is so, so tiny. I mean its almost like everyone knows everyone directl…
Hello again, and today is Friday, March 8, 2013. Sometimes I look back in time, or at least the short amount of time that I've been alive, and see how in life out of all the enemies, time is the worst. Out of all troubles; unreliable friend…

Hello again, and today is Tuesday, March 5, 2013. First of all, this post is more for people that don't identify with a particular religion. I would like to know, given you'd like to share, how you came to be without a religious identificat…
Hello again, and today is Monday, March 4, 2013. First off, the title doesn't have to do with the song, or maybe it does, I haven't heard it before. Today I dare you to March Forth (see what I did there) and try to do what you've convinced …

Hello again, and today is Saturday, March 2, 2013. From experience I have in intellectual circles, the “in crowd,” and from many other places and ways, I've seen that if you fake that you know what you're doing, you get farther quicker. I k…
Hello again, and today is Friday, March 1, 2013. I just got back from a school dance that was an amazing night ending off with a group chorus of Fun.'s ‘We Are Young’. I couldn't dance but danced 'till my feet hurt, then danced more. At the…

Our revolution like all others had no beginning. Just a start. The balloon of hatred towards our French aristocrats and their “Ancien Régime” was inflating before anyone can remember. It just happened to pop then. The massas of people star…
Hello again, and today is Monday, February 25, 2013. Thanks for all the support for my last Opuss, I really appreciate it. Today while I was checking my rank and Opuss number, I was shocked to find that both my rank and number of posts were…

Hello again, and today is Saturday, February 23, 2013. I do not condone any Schadenfreude. If you don't know what it means it is taking pleasure in others' misfortune. It's a bit strange how we, even on a subconscious level, take humor from…
Hello again, and today is Friday, February 22, 2013. Lately I've been thinking about how I screw up a fair amount. Or how when I think I'm screwing up, and I'm actually not, I act too quickly. I make an irreversible action, then realize th…

I understand that it has been some times, Since I planned days before Valentines, To give you this card, That has all of my heart, But despite all of this, My love for you is bliss, And never do I regress, How much I love your caress, Or ho…
Half the time I write or talk about love It feels phony. Actually more than half the time, its probably closer to most of the time. I mean, I've never “gone out” and saying the term itself makes me feel fake. I've never been romantically in…
I remember my first crush quite clearly. Her name was Danica Zimmerman and we both at the time were in the third or fourth grade, but more likely the third. Now you may think that because of childhood innocence and lack of a glass ceiling, …
Viewing themselves through pixelated screens, And seeing only profile picture fact, Until bad chat connection intervenes, Or find each other's opposites attract, What ever happened to the casual date, Did it go down the drain when internet…
Hello again and today is Thursday, February 7, 2013. It's only a week until Valentine's Day. And love is in the air. But no, I'm not going to go on about love, romance and the such today because tomorrow is the start of a five day Valentine…
Hello again, and today is Wednesday, February 6, 2013. Discrimination is bad. In particular I'm talking about racism because like a hamster in its wheel, we get nowhere by using it. I mean, we all are part of a race, none of us can say that…
Always listen to people with peeled ears, But take it in with a grain of salt, Cause good to come from your actions, Don't stress if you can't, Every day is different, Fear only monotony, fear, and roller coasters, God is good, He respects …
Hello again, and today is Monday, February 4, 2013. Now today I'd like to talk about dedication if you couldn't guess from the title. Dedication is strong when used correctly but just looks like a wet cardboard bomb shield when haphazardly …

Hello again, and today is Wednesday, January 30, 2013. Lately I've been thinking about the past. More specifically about the past that seems to be a lot better than how it is today. I tend to think; if only I could make to day like how it w…
Hello again, and today is Tuesday, January 29, 2013. In our lives we leave a lot of things up to Tyche, the god of luck. She alone can decide if we “luck out” in a job interview or if we instead are out of luck. In today's world most of us …

The first somber sunday of September, Was a night I do recall quite well, And on that night was a frigid murder, With quiet night pierced by obnoxious nil, The victim with life escaping his soul, Willed a will to be his sole dying gift, Wi…
Hello again, and today is Friday, January 25, 2013. I feel that as of late I've been stuck in a rut. Not only in my writing, but in school, and life in general. I feel like I'm a driver in a car whose engine just used up the last of its fue…
Hello again, and today is Thursday, January 24, 2013. I'm going to start this out with a question; What's the saddest book you've ever read? Its hard to split it down to one, having those stories where the sadness is a theme and is built up…
Hello again, and today is Wednesday, January 23, 2013. I have a question. Is the pain what's the worst, or is it the getting through the pain that really hurts. We all have experienced pain, but when you're up to your eyes in pain and plain…
Hello again and today is Tuesday, January 22, 2013. If you say that you've never been a hypocrite, then you're not only wrong but also being a hypocrite by saying it. We have all fallen prey to the warm indulgent feeling of bathing yourself…
Hello again, and today is Monday, January 21, 2013. Today is also Martin Luther King Jr. Day. It's a good day to remember the all of what Mr. King and his dream has done for equality, not only for people of African descent but, for all mino…
Hello again and today is Sunday, January 20, 2013. My fear, among many others, is that i am going to grow old. Well, not just old, because we all have to do that, but an old stiff. Some people already think I'm too uptight or stiff, and I'm…
Hello again, and today is Saturday, January 19, 2013. I have another story idea. This time I thought of this: the fear you have that you don't like remembering you have. That deep subconscious fear that gnaws at you in the middle of the nig…

Chapter 2 The takeoff and flight time was quite ordinary as flights go. There was some mundane turbulence in the air but it wasn't comparable to what was there during landing. As we began our descent the pilot came onto the loudspeake…

Hello again, today is Tuesday, December 4, 2012. If you've ever heard of love, which I'm hoping you have, then you probably have heard of lust, or vice-versa Although they're different they're also similar. Both want to be with another pers…
Hello again, today is Monday, December 3, 2012. Now, I've never played poker, but from my understanding it's pretty similar to our lives. You need to know when to call, when to fold, when to hold, and when to say "The hell with it," and go …
