Reconciliations have been made. I kicked ass and took names at Casino night. I'm starting to rediscover that there is light inside of me that needs to be let out every now and then for the benefit of myself and everyone around me. Peace, how every fleeting and momentary it may be, has been achieved.

Of course it's the Republicans. Didn't you know that they all have raging Oedipus complexes?

At some point yesterday I started thinking about the ideology I've built up around the concept of love and I realized it just isn't working out for me. It (the ideology) is unsatisfactory. So I had a pretend conversation with my therapist and let myself speak through her, and came up with a pretty good conclusion. I'm just going to scrap it all and start...

The night before last I couldn't sleep so I just stayed up and went to class at 8 AM. As I walked in the bitter cold, for the first time in a long time, I witnessed the dawn. I watched the fiery halo breach the horizon and burn down the night. I felt as if experiencing this sight filled me with phoenix fire and did...

Over the break I read this book by a guy named Viktor Frankl. He was a psychiatrist that was in a concentration camp during WWII, and it goes without saying that he had a lot of interesting insights into the nature of human suffering. One of the things he talked about was how the most dangerous threat to a human spirit is the loss of...

Now for a nice little Christmas story:

Over the holidays I spent my nights sleeping on the floor while mice skittered about. I don't care what anyone says. When you here little claws scratching around in the darkness you can't help but jerk out of any sort of peaceful slumber you might have been falling into.

During the days I watched a domestic dispute slowly...

It's very hard to drop the weight of the past and liberate yourself. I don't know how long it will before I write again or talk to any of you. I love you. Merry Christmas.

I saw you today
Driving in the truck while everyone was away.
I saw you smile, an action like a key
The door was inside me.
So much emotion still revolves
Around your face, I can't resolve
Finally I come to see
How everything's been shaping me
Into this archetypal shape
Predestined fate beyond escape
How could you?
Why would you?
Why would anyone?
How...

More fictiony goodness:

Dean Starke sat in his office, looking out the window and surveying the urban sprawl all the way to where it began to thin. The Nanosoft Tower was now the tallest building in the world. He had come a long way. The phone beside him emitted a relaxing tone and pulsed gently with light. He pressed the speakerphone button.

"Sir, you stock...

You're getting quite the diversified collection of stories.
Did you ever catch the the cartoon series Gargoyles when it was on? The character reminds me of their version of Macbeth. He was a favorite of mine.

So did the demon release any clues before dying? Or does Dean have to start without a lead?

A selfish, demon fighting millionaire on the rocks is a damn good set up. I'd keep working this one if I were you.

No more fiction for now. I need to vent. Right now (and I realize the impermanent nature of my feelings) I really fucking hate being in school and writing all these goddamn papers and so forth. Having said that, I feel better all ready.

I should be sleeping right now, but I have to get up early in the morning and go to a class...

If it helps, I think you had a really good presentation. And, hey-- not counting today, we only have six actual class days left, and then you won't have to worry about any more of that stupid bullshit for another month.

And I know it'll be a long month for you, but last night I got to thinking-- I don't know what Joe's doing over break, but maybe the three of us could get together and do something for New Years? You'll have basically just had your birthday, and Christmas and stuff, and I can drive down and we can celebrate everything in one fell swoop. It'd give you a break from your, um, break. Or something.

Also, I've just gotta throw this out there: I know how much you want kids, and I'm certain you'll have them, but I really admire your stance on the poverty issue. I'm so fucking sick and tired of hearing about children brought into the world by people who KNOW they can't raise them the way they deserve to be raised, but just can't bring themselves to overcome their own insipidly selfish reasons for creating life that won't have much of a life at all.

Here. Have a oink (Man, I'd love it if it were possible to combine, like, surreal and oink and ARRR!!!. What an awesomely fucked-up smiley that would be.)

HaHaHa I know exactly what you mean. At least three times a day I get the sudden urge to just scream at the top of my lungs "GODDAMN YOU SCHOOL!!! FUCK YOU TO HELL!!!!" tongue skull

Wow that's harsh that you don't have anywhere to go for the winter break. Hope things work out for you and that you have do end up having a nice break.

Devin found a table next to the window and sat down to eat. Cafeteria food was meager, but he had skipped breakfast and ate out for lunch so it would have to suffice. He looked up to the crimson streaks of cloud painted by the setting sun, the full moon already beginning to glow. He was always restless on full moons.

Out of the corner...

Marcus had stepped into his bedroom to take a phone call, a business call. The bass in the background made the house buzz like a hive. He told the customer that he was having a party, and if he wanted to do business he should come enjoy the festivities. He flipped the phone shut and turned to head back to the crowd. Someone was in...
