Thoughts on "bigger and better things."
This is a personal matter; something I rarely talk to about. To anyone. So, instead, I have decided to talk no one, and yet everyone.
There is so much that one can invest, and moreover lose, in a single person that it really doesn’t make any sense to do so. And yet, everyday millions of people throughout the world, of all ages, of all races, of all religions, etc, allow themselves,...
Thoughts on Taking Back Sunday
“It took us eight years and four records before we came here. We’re sorry for that.”
-Adam L.
You guys killed it last night. It was one of the best experiences of my life.
Thoughts on myspace: a 'dear John' letter.
Dear Myspace, What can I say about our relationship so far? Its been great. You’ve always been there for me. You always send me emails, keep my pictures in your album, make sure what I have to say gets out, etc. You’ve been the best friend I think I could ever ask for.

From what I can also gather, if you claim Straight Edge, you are Strait Edge for life, and if you “break edge” you may be met with violence from members of your local straight...
Thoughts on applying for a job.
Resumes. Well, they’re super shitty, and you’re never really sure if you’re done making yours. You could spend hours on your resume, which many people do, and you could still be so unsure of yourself that you postpone submitting it because you want to take a little more time to look it over, ask people for their opinion, etc. And then you miss the opportunity to get a job....
Thoughts on lovey lovers.
I’ve had enough of so many goddamn people not only publicizing their relationships, but flaunting them. Like, you know, oh you’ve been together for a while, maybe you two finally agree that you’re both “in love”; shoots. Maybe you throw a survey or two up there and change a few questions to reveal a few things that imply you have a boyfriend/girlfriend or whatever. ...
