When you turn on the charm, don’t forget to turn it off. Some people might misinterpret it.
Word of the day
Caprice (noun)- an impulsive change of mind.
“Mr. Bennet was so odd a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humor, reserve, and caprice, that the experience of three and twenty years had been insufficent to make his wife understand his character” (Austen 4).
“There is a difference between cockiness and confidence. Frankly, I prefer the...”
For Patrick and Gretchelle
“To go Ga Ga The french painter Paul Gauguin is the source for this saying. Rumor has it that admirers loved his painting but had problems pronouncing his name. So they shortened their admiration to saying that they were just ‘Ga Ga.’ Others claim that’s just nonsense. And the word comes from French orgin for “fool” and so the words represents the sound a...
origins
“Sweetheart
In the old days the pumping action of the heart was considered to be the beat of a person’s personality. Doctors knew little else about your circulatory system back then. So figurative words were attached to the heart regarding people’s personalities, like hard-hearted, soft-hearted, heavy-hearted, light-hearted and cold-hearted. Since love makes us all giddy, often...

Find a way home
“Do you wanna go running with me later, Drea?” Anna said as we made our way home from a breeze-filled day in Camarillo. Trying to escape the heat of the unforgiving valley.
“Sure, let’s go later though. It’s too hot to run right now.” Hours passed by, as we watched the television show Friends in our air conditioned room. We bickered and fought, and I was about...
Cupcaking
iampostscript:
Dear Cupcaking,
I hate it when I find myself cupcaking about someone. If you do not know what cupcaking is, allow me to explain.
Cupcaking is the act or phase in which someone is in a deep infatuation with another individual. This often times lead to a massive amount of flirtation between the two individuals.
And so, I feel like at times it is somewhat hazardous to be put into...
harmonica box
he passed me by
with that raw look in his eye
he slipped me a kiss
and gave me a small gift
it was a harmonica box
faded and worn
fitting easily in his
jean pocket
inside
was a dried white orchid
fragile to the touch I
thought to myself
how in the world did he remember
whispering a thank you into his ear
I realized then,
that he didn’t just give me
a old dead flower
he gave...
The Self-righteous
this is for you
can you stand that the earth
revolves around the sun
no this is no silly pun
I’ve got miles and miles of complaints
thinking your the devil, when you
think your holy saints
can’t see around you
there are mountains rising
cities sinking
plate tech tonics
but all care about is your
tonic
patron and hennessy
but can’t you see,
there’s so much...
Those Summer Nah-heights
ihatethesethings:
Driving down a deserted street, listening to Stars, rolling down the window, breathing in warm evening air, and contemplating my day.
I love summer nights, but I always feel incomplete.
I hate that feeling of wanting more.
I know this feeling all too well.
lead
me in a waltz
flying high above the atmosphere
into a universe all our own
the only sky is full of stars
visible to even the blind eye
lead
me down a steep hill
while I leave all my trust in thee
telling me where to step
keeping me safe and free
lead
me towards the sun,
where good things come
and life is warm
lead
me into your arms
where I feel the world
wants me to be
shaping...

Request to all CSUN students,
Please don’t come into work today. Save me some trouble, and just be cooperative. Leave me in my stressed undecided state alone for a couple of hours.
Full of stress and sorrow,

Shredding
Shredding is quite possibly one of my favorite tasks to do at work. There is something so secretive an almost undescribable thrill of not knowing if what you’re getting rid of is important or not. Yet it’s cleansing and freeing. The noise of the machine alive, ready to eat anything. The heat reaching my cheeks. The papers falling into a dark abyss. Paper after paper, I lose count, lose...
Pang-Bahay Smell
iampostscript:
Dear Pang-Bahay Smell,
You are perhaps one of my biggest pet peeves. Upon entering Filipino households, I find it very unsatisfying for you to be the first thing that I smell. Even for those few seconds, the interior of my nostrils feel as if they are on fire. Why, if I may ask, is such a foul smell produced from food that tastes so delicious? I highly doubt that I will ever...
Mingle, Goddammit!
ihatethesethings:
From freshman retreat to college orientations to internship summits, I hate meet-and-greets. I don’t even know if that’s the right word for them. I prefer to call them awkward first encounters with people you’ll probably never see again, but are forced to “bond” with for a day because you’re affiliated with the same group.
This is how the standard conversation goes at one of...

Catch
Have you ever been cheering up a friend and said, “You’re such a catch. Someone is going to be so lucky to end up with you”? I know I’ve been guilty of saying these reassuring words, but have you ever heard the words you are actually saying? You’re calling your friend a catch, which infers that they are being thrown or on the move so to speak, yet one can’t be...
Untitled
Arriving at your gloomy exposure
asking you to smile
to give me warmth
while I tuck my head away
you slyly sneak up
unaware I’m consumed by
your everlasting light
I turn and see
you are all around me
Giddy with your existence
I embrace you in every way
yet I forget
to protect myself
your heat too passionate
I get lost and dazed
before I know it, I’m into deep
my skin...
“I forgot how sore my heart could feel on summer nights”
By the way, Tumblr...
I’m back and I’ve got a lot to say.
Bicycling...
is a lot like relationships. It shaky, exciting, and scary at first, but you soon get into the swing of things. Unsure of where to put what, what to do first. But sooner or later, instinct replaces thought. You ride, and you’re free, and for once, only one image is focused, and everything else around you is a blur. Some people even have those three person bicycles. They can be complicated,...
I'm gunna watch this with someone I love. →
I love the Bellagio
Driving
For miles
while
the same image passes again
and again and again
watching clouds cast shadows
amongst the mountains
and the road approaches smaller
than bigger
than i realize
I’m alone with my thoughts
for once in a long time
and that i could
sky gaze
for days

night time prayer
in the silence of the night
let’s trade places
I’ll be sound asleep
and you listen to what the rain says
space says nothing,
when the wind can’t stop howling
sunlight towering
no cowering from the mountains
stationary with glee
round and round this cycle goes
while I pay the fee
I can’t fall asleep
will you take this hinderance away from me
lately
dreaming has been something i want
not these nightmares that haunt
me while i wait for peace to catch up with me
for me to see
the lights of sunshine
yet i find myself, somewhere else
stranded hanging on a power line
lonely lately
always out of my element
stuck in the forest with no tent
bleeding with no consent
to stop until, eyes run dry
and everyone in my family dies
gasping for...

Lost
As I gather my thougths
at the city limits
watching people prohibit
me in even the places I want to see
driving towards the sun
on the LA 101
while my mind switches
around and reverse
No straight way to look
no street I can cross
while I look at my rosary
and my faith is at a loss
I’ve got no particular place to go
all I know
is that I’m lost.

Poison
iampostscript:
Dear Fellow Tumblrs,
Do you have Poison? If you are not familiar with the term, allow me to explain. A Poison is someone, either a former lover or close admirer, who has the capability of basically letting your guard down in terms of love. They are that type of person who can always creep back into your life when you least expect it or when you are most vulnerable. This person...
sigh
To eager am I to get this started
ready to run, with untied shoes
hoping my thoughts don’t get the best of me
when they have a tendency to
I can’t push, and can’t rush
can look, but don’t touch
I’ll get hurt, but I want to feel
yet I can’t, until I heal
just make me wait,
don’t hurry up
i’m scared too
let’s just have our fun.

Like the Mona Lisa
ihatethesethings:
You know how people always say that the Mona Lisa is this fantastic work of art? Shaved eyebrows, uneven background, etc. etc. et al. Art critics muse about about that smile, full of secrecy, full of unanswerable questions. She’s a mystery.
I hate bloggers. No one cares about their mundane lives. The people they meet, the ideas they have, the opinions they spurt. Time will...
Theories
Me: I dunno, I have a theory about love. There is true love and an opposite false love. They have false love, and it's extremely easy to see. She doesn't really love him and he really doesn't love her. They're both using each other and you know it.
Keena: Well my theory... They look alike, so she's with him because she's narcissistic and likes to look at herself.
