Is this the best way to say why I left my last job?
Following family issues the company was unable to grant me any of my accrued vacation time for 5 months due to the increased workload of relocation and Halloween, forcing me to resign.
Or should I just say School or Dissatisfied with Job?
Clearly, I've been writing poetry, this one is quite different than normal:
The way the cracked glass fell sideways on her head
Made him think about gunshots shooting violence, at harmless coke bottles
And then he thought of green grass, cut short
By the overbearing gnashing of engines and metal blades
Of the sweet, clean smell
And the way the season stained his shoes green.... Read More
Part of me just laughed
at the severity of your alarm
and your overbearing apologetics.
And in the moment I could not fathom
what dark meaning your worry invoked.
But as I walked the realization cemented
and I crumbled.
I don't even know how to convey how amazing that was: I was just walking home and stretching my arms in front of me. A spotted falcon swooped down and landed on my arm, sat there a moment then took off. It was incredible.
Just spent the last two hours trying to get The Sims on my laptop... I think I need to give up on nostalgia for the night.
In other news, I got TONS of work done on my novel today. Still just in the planning stages, but I basically have it entirely planned out at this point. Tomorrow I start on the the actual writing process.... Read More
Love the wit and sarcasm Writing has a way of taking one's soul - in a good way. Have fun and if your feel like sharing some more by all means do - you are wickedly beautiful
She's rolling on the floor, wrapped in a fur blanket, a bottle of Popov Vodka in her hand and shouts, "POPOOOV!! My only friend."
And today, you think of her in this way.
We had some fabulous times. Until the last year I was always very happy with you. Then long nights with someone else became more important to you. Drinking became everything, not just... Read More
I love my brother.
I knew that seeing him this holiday season would make me feel a lot better and put my life in perspective. It was really hard going through the holiday alone, but luckily Christmas night my brother and I had a nice long chat about all of our problems. Also, hearing the sorts of things he's going through in his life really... Read More
I fucking hate this all right now. Cold, alone, tired and I cannot sleep.
The only thing I want cannot be purchased, cannot be wrapped, cannot even really be given to me.
So I sit here: head pounding from the crying and from the wine.
I try to be strong: but I fail so fucking hard.
Play video games, where I can go pretend... Read More
The first Christmas after my wife of 21 years died, I was alone on Christmas morning feeling very depressed. My son was away in the military where I literally didn't know from day to day if he was alive, or dead and at 47, I couldn't figure out how my otherwise charmed life had suddenly gone so far off the tracks!! I was sleeping on a cot at my shop, because Hurricane Rita had destroyed my home three months previously, so I was relegated to taking whore baths from the bathroom sink and living on fast food. To say that I was at the lowest point of my life would definitely be an understatement!! Point being, I survived and moved on with my life. Not because what was happening was how I had planned, or wanted my life to be, but because despite all the bad, life goes on!! That was eight years ago and over the past eight years I've had some really great times and some definitely not so great times!! Welcome to life in the real world, it isn't always rainbows and fairy tale endings!! Life is what you make it, and it's all on you to make it the best it can be!! You're killing yourself over a hopeless alcoholic who has now decided his life isn't miserable enough, so he's thrown some hard drugs into the mix just to see how much more he can screw it up!! SCRAPE him off dear, he's not worth it!!
Hope that will cheer you up.
