Deuces are Wild

I always fall for the taken girl. No matter how old I get, I never seem to learn. And when I say fall, well you guys know it’s to the ocean floor. The months from when I was fired to about Halloween had me really thinking about life and love and the whole gist of it. Now sure, it could also be due to the high amount of alcohol that’s been put into my system but I digress. During said months, I wrote two short stories both tying into one another and both about the events that transpired within those six months with a bit of a fictitious side to them. Things tend to go in a direction that we don’t quite understand and hell we never will. Sure it’s a real bitch once you get to a place where there’s nothing to do but reminisce. One day though you will end up with a sort of clarity and the shit that you spent endless hours thinking about will just settle down and you’ll be able to rebuild yourself. Now I won’t deny that I missed the “angel” a heavy amount throughout those months but knowing that she’s happy was what allowed me to finally move on. Like I said in my list of the things I learned. From a negative there will always be a positive after it.

            During these past couple of weeks, I’ve gotten to know this true beauty of a girl. She’s quite amazing and very down to earth. I’m glad we’ve been able to bond like we have and I feel that us together will be one incredible force of nature.  I won’t go into too much detail especially since I have a couple of other works going on. But I will say this, I couldn’t be happier than I am right now with her. And as far as the past goes, at least I can finally say that I had a first love and that I was able to fully experience what the word meant both good and bad. And if you think about it, it's not about your first love, its about your last one...

P.S. to all of my readers, get ready… 2013, I’m coming at you full throttle…

The Art of Learning

Things I learned this year:

·         Actions really do speak louder than words.

·         Being in love gives you an incredible boost of confidence.

·         That same love can easily tear you up inside.

·         Live life in the moment and worry about the pain later. The pain will be incredible and not all at once but short bursts.

·         The day you realize what is instead of what should be, is the day your dreams most likely shatter.

·         No matter how hard you try not to think about someone, the more you think about them.

·         Pain and a hurt heart are the perfect tools to a great written work of art.

·         Certain Love poisons the brain. The majority of the time however it can put cement over the cracks of your life.

·         You can only “save” a handful of people before you need to be saved.

·         Timing is everything, just how time will eventually heal all wounds.

·         No amount of alcohol can erase your memory; it will only subdue the images.

·         Chasing after someone who is taken is only about 50% effective, in the end they are taken for a reason.

·         You have to be a ruthless motherfucker to kill somebody. Even more ruthless to kill children.

·         Life is short, one day we are here and the next we are not. Make sure that you tell those you love that you love them on a daily basis.

·         Fate will always work towards your advantage if you let it.

·         From a negative there will always be a positive after it. 

See World

           First off, I am not one for violence. I do believe that unless you are being bullied and/ or verbally assaulted, you have the right to defend yourself. Like in the case of any domestic dispute, no man should ever put his hand on a woman. If it comes down to that I believe the woman should be able to use any means necessary to make herself safe. But when its crimes against innocent people, that’s when I can’t help but become incredibly pissed off. For instance, any shooting that has taken place over the last couple of years. The Aurora shootings for the midnight release of the Dark Knight Rises. The Oregon mall shooting that happened only a couple of days ago.

            But today, it was something completely different. The Connecticut shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary that took the lives of 20 children and 6 faculty members. Now, I heard about this when it first started at around 10 in the morning, like every other school shooting I didn’t pay enough attention to the details. When I saw that it was an elementary school and the body count kept rising due to kids dying that’s when I was just out of it. For one, you have to be a real sick motherfucker to take someone’s life. Two, you have to be an even sicker motherfucker to go to a crowded place and fire a gun. Three, it was bad enough that it was a school shooting but these were fucking little kids. 5- 10 year old kids, who didn’t know anything about life yet. Who were destined to become something. Who had many and many things to look forward to. But due to one soulless dickhead, that was all taken away. And people are immediately putting up the gun control issue and debating about what to do about it. Get your fucking head out of your assess, you’re sidetracking from the real fucking topic here. THESE WERE LITTLE KIDS!

            Because of one motherfucker, 26 different families’ lives are now ruined. That’s 20 different futures that were already destined, cut short cause of one scumbag. I seriously hope that this guy get’s destroyed for all eternity in hell. I also hope that Big Man upstairs has those 26 spirits within his reach and that all of their souls rest in peace.

(The news keeps saying that it was 27 victims, in reality they are counting the shooter as one of them. Well, I’m not…)
