| i see smiles in the vast space of happiness. the open, love-luck lost hopelessness of bliss. i outstretch my hand. i grasp at the moon that fits in my palm. i close my fist and there is hope. in the cold and bitter wetness, there is hope. as they undulate, the ripples turn to dust.
and hey. i guess i can be happy too.

| I'm a firm believer that stories should only end one way... right where they began.

| Where have the years gone?
is anyone still listening? is anyone still there? and don't it feel good.

| There was a time.
I realize that this blog is updated very rarely these days. Wonder why that is? Lots of things happen to me that warrant a post, but then again almost nothing happens to me. Don't really understand why my personality's wired in such a way that I hate doing things but get bored easily. Wish I could be those happy, shiny folk who go out and have fun, taking advantage of their youth. They like clubbing. I like going to dive bars. I'm like an old man, seriously. Still have that feeling that the world's leaving me behind. I've been stuck in a happy sort of rut. But now it's time for a change, a new chapter in my life. I've got a goal now, one that hopefully will help me achieve my other goals. It's one of those rare occasions that I actually have something to aim for, instead of just floundering about. With that said, I think it's safe to say that I gotta drop some poundage and learn how to swim again so I can join the Navy. Imagine me, a sailor. Hah. Well, it's always been said that men are drawn to the sea. And thinking back on my life, the further I got away from the sea, the unhappier I became. Must be a psychological thing. So here's to a fresh start and a new beginning.
