For example, my best friend’s expression when eating a gizzard.

Terry Pratchett’s Discworld with Rincewind the “Wizzard”

My best friend’s expression when eating a gizzard

The thought that a nemesis looks much like a lizard

My own incalculable stupidity


The Muppets embroiled in outright gaiety

Celebrities status as well-night deity

Nonsensical syllables, pointless as they may be

Clinical depression


Schoeder, Linus, and good ole Chuck Brown

Those silly Shriners when the circus’s in town

The thought that one day my name is renowned

Because it seems rather unlikely


Not all results in total hilarity

Creating an impression of faint disparity

Yet they share this striking similarity

They all make me smile


Ack! So much poetry lately, and I fear there's more to come, out of necessity even more than desire. This one was composed for a creative writing class, briefly describing a few oddities that I enjoy. Unfortunately, that's about all the backstory there is, but come find me sometime, bring up one of those subjects, and let us releases those barrels of laughter together!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
