Doesn’t Know Me: A Poem About Jealousy

I saw Ramona this morning. We started talking for a bit. David interrupted us and stole her away. I think I hate David, but he doesn't know me.

Ramona and I were walking home after school.

Here comes cool guy David ruining the mood.

I swear I hate David, but he doesn't know me.

I saw David talking to Ramona by her locker today. What the hell was I supposed to do, what was I supposed to say. To hell with David, even if he doesn't know me.

They were laughing together. Looked like they were having a good time. That son of a bitch. I know his aim now, who cares if he doesn't know me.

We celebrated our 1 year today. She said she loves only me. That day I forgot about David. I'm sure he wasn't thinking about me. Why would he. Besides, he doesn't know me.

David congratulated us on our anniversary.

Told us we were a cute couple. I don't get it, is he really happy for us? Could he be? For Christ sakes, he doesn't even know me.

They're hanging out today. Ramona and David

The feelings still there. Why won't it let me be.

I should hate David, but I really don't know him, just like he doesn't know me

David doesn't know me, he knows Ramona.

I saw them hug each other goodbye before her date with me. Why do I hate David? I don't know him, and he doesn't know me.

They went out together. I told her to have fun.

It came back like always, the feeling of unease. He doesn't know me, that's always been clear to see. I'm too busy blaming David, when I didn't even know the problem's been me.

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
