You can quote me on this 11:35 PM

My family: Eccentric, lovable, unique, loyal; and as of late, sadly under-appreciated. Being here at my family's place for a visit has reinforced and reminded me of just how much I love, need, and appreciate them.

Sure, every family has it's issues. Mine is no different. But I see here people who love and care for me, who will stand by me come what may. This makes me see what our little differences and difficulties amount to when compared to our family bonds: nothing.

And while this may sound corny, I maintain that it's the truth, and as such, I believe it with all my heart: I have the best family in the world. I'm in the family that's just right for me.

Make an exception 12:28 AM

We want to see the worse in people. Because maybe then, we'll have a just cause for our cynicism. But, there's always that one individual that defies all our preconceived notions about life and "reality", and we're forced to pause and rethink our theories. That exception, that legend of hope that shows its glorious face in the simple kindness of a humble soul.

Maybe our outlook is a little bleak. Maybe it's tainted by bitterness and hurt from the past.

And with this newfound perspective, we crawl out of our minute, dark boxes and see the world for what it really is. When this happens, the exception becomes a rule.

These wide eyes
Aren't seeing
And if you only listened
You'd whisper
Grasping at ghosts

The old is better 8:39 PM

The Vintage Volume is back to it's former template. I got tired of screwing around with the previous one, it's vintage background isn't worth the endless tweaking.

Then lie awake 2:36 AM

It's a whisper in the air, when the soft glow of the moon wafts over my trembling eyelids. It colors my sunsets gray, and chills my reason; when idle thoughts drift lazily through a hazy mind.

Sleep, my child. Sleep is for the dead.

Stay tuned! (But if you switch the channel, I won't blame you) 11:57 PM

A lack of updates means I'm busy with life, right? At least that's the believable excuse that's popular these days; but really, I'm just lazy.
I've been thinking of starting a weekly posting schedule, a weekly column, if you will. The reason you haven't seen this yet is because I'm not sure that I'll be able to commit to that, but it's still a great thought and I hope I'll be able to convince myself.

Who the heck has time for these things anyway?

Now this is Vintage 9:19 PM

New template up, needs some tweaks. There's a few elements that I really don't like but I hope to change them soon. I still wish I knew how to build a snazzy website from scratch, but I don't have the time to learn. This'll do for now.
