I Guess This Is Growing Up

Standard

The things we have come to know, to rely on are slowly fading into obscurity. But our friendship always remains as a beacon of light shouting:

 Get Off Your Lazy Ass and DANCE

And it’s happened once again
I’ll turn to a friend
Someone that understands
Sees through the master plan

My Job is a joke, I’m Broke and my Love Life is actually DOA

Standard

I turned 30. So far, it’s not turning out well.  I don’t know where my hairline went. It just went SEE YA LATER then BOOM! Gone.

I’m single, certifiably insane and I just had to reapply for my own job.

Today someone blamed the tree in front of their house for Lupus. Not even 12 and I’m done for today.

So here’s some Lily Allen.

Love Yourself

Standard

Celeste, in her infinite wisdom has illustrated ever so wonderfully the importance of loving yourself. Someone does hear that negative self talk – you.

As per Doctor Amy Cuddy, social psychologist at Rutgers University;

“Faking” body postures associated with dominance and power (“power posing”– even for as little as two minutes — increases people’s testosterone, decreases their cortisol, increases their appetite for risk, and causes them to perform better in job interviews. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amy_Cuddy

I’m prone to negative self talk based on my own expectations of perfection. I’m learning to loose control and gain command of my own life. I’m starting all over again. I’m back at the drawing board. It doesn’t matter how many times I’ve failed before. Try again and this time you’ll get it right.

True Blue Girl

Standard
These are the moments in our lives where we dare challenge the dawn.
Where we twirl and dance in the shimming moonlight.
We walk the path to arrive at this destination.
In the far east under the twinkle of the stars.
These previous few moments where we can all be together.
Its memory in our hearts for eternity.
Cherish them.
Spin sweet girl. Spin your hearts content.

A little more conversation, a little less action please

Standard

I can’t believe I’m going to say this but I need more then meaningless sex. There. I said it.  A gay man says he needs more.  I’m disappointed in myself too.

Sam: You’re not leaving the party are you? Where are you going? It’s 11:30!

Jeff: To have sex with a cute but emotionally unavailable boy.

Captain Buzzkill

Standard

Jeff: Man I’m having the best day Eva!!!! We saw Brand New. Had Sneaky Dee’s nachos. I even saw a shooting star!

Gordo: Ehh. You might not have saw a shooting star. In actuality you probably just saw falling space junk – a satellite or debris.

Jeff: Fuck off Gordo! I choose to believe it was a falling star. Buzzkill.

Gordo: Have you met me?

Please don’t lose your faith in me. I’m not going anywhere. – Taking Back Sunday

Check and Mate

Standard

Jimmy: I just know how to point at people and say “fuck me” and The older I get the less effective it becomes.

Jeff: I take inspiration from Miss Monroe. If you can make a boy laugh you can make him do anything.

Jimmy:…….

Jeff: Fine. Don’t believe me. Two lawyers this weekend. Check and mate.

Tubthumping | You’re Never Gonna Keep Me Down

Standard

Guys, do you remember when Craig got ‘Tubthumping’ to be a drink special at the bar by taking a Whiskey drink, Vodka drink, Lager drink and Cider drink?

That’s why I almost failed classic sociology theory.

We’ll be singing
When we’re winning
We’ll be singing

Second Chance | Follow The Yellow Brick Road

Standard

My road to redemption that I had imagined to be so long and immensely painful was just that – imagined.  My friendships are stronger then I had ever imagined.  The forgiveness I have received will not be forgotten.

Walking backward from my road to Hell, I found a shiny yellow brick road.  The barriers only existed in my mind.  The balance and the harmony that I strive to return to is right in front of me. It all begins with a single step and a Mind Without Fear.
