Ironies

My mother gets incredibly angry at me when I tell her she has anger
management issues. LOL!

One of those.

Condescension from those you admire the most hurts like a bitch.

I'm over it now. There is the significant possibility that 'we' (As
superfluous as the concept currently seems to be) are no longer
friends. Whether or not that is true, time will tell. Either way,
things will never again be the same.
I'll keep my distance. I'm sure that's exactly what you wanted.

Congratulations.

an idiot.

Displacement

Know now, youngling
This is not the land of deciduous forests
Where you were born
Our rains are not as your rains
Cold and gentle affairs
Ours are torrential and fickle
Like some wild beauty
Freed after eons of restraint
Carnivorous. Carnal. Cancerous.
This is a place of swaying palms
And fiery sands
Sweaty hands
Youngling
Know where you are.

Little brother. You break my heart. Really, you do.

Weakness begets Strength

Note: I was tempted to call this post 'stringth' just to amuse Eeda
and Neeli. :-p

The weakest link is often the one most blessed with opportunities to
grow. The scrawniest child is most often picked on, he is the one who
learns to fight intelligently. The artist scorned continuously delves
into his soul trying to bring about more vivid colors, previously
unseen facets. It is always the weakest man that is the most harshly
tested by adversaries. In being tested again and again, he is
presented with opportunities to grow- again and again. That, perhaps,
is the blessing of weakness. It intrinsically presents the opportunity
to become strong.

I'm basically only writing this because I've started playing football.
And. I. SUCK. :-p
