Is your fear of failure greater than the excitement of success? Fear of selling out, fear of the almighty NO, fear of everything this side from death. Attending A.C.C. &amp;amp; Del Mar for public relations and advertising, I learned that everything that you do is marketing for yourself. How you present or carry yourself, how others &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;perceive&lt;/span&gt; you all &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;coincide&lt;/span&gt; to the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;networth&lt;/span&gt; of your success in any scenario. Your actions are a direct reflection of how you are and who you will become. This is important for anyone to realize &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;because&lt;/span&gt; when your integrity is tested, people will know how you will react and most importantly how you handle your composure. This brings me to another topic. Your network. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In an essence, every person you meet is a potential client. For what, who knows? My network is the single most important thing to me. Without it I could not make connections and moves otherwise necessary to be successful. I am sure that someone down the line in your life has told you it's not what you know, it's who you know. Getting the foot in the door is the first step and after that, you gotta outshine em. To be &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;successful&lt;/span&gt; in any industry, you have to have a strong, dependable, reliable and loyal network. Without this you will find yourself more vulnerable to opposition and make things difficult &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;I'm&lt;/span&gt; the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;pursuit&lt;/span&gt; to success. Below are a few guidelines to help get past that fear and moving towards the direction of more profitability, productivity, and success for your clients.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Love your Clients!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; - Clients could care less about what you know until they know you care. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Serve your Clients!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; - If you’re selling something that the client doesn’t need, then you probably shouldn’t be selling it at all. If they do need it, then you’re not really selling, only consulting through educating and persuading. Remember- people hate being sold, but they love to buy! &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You are Yoda!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; – Just as every Jedi goes to Yoda, your clients come to you because you have the omniscient, all-knowing Yoda type of knowledge that is responsible for them paying you in the first place. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Encourage New Ideas!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; – Keep a questioning nature and always remember that business owners know more about their businesses than you do. So shut up and pay attention… &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Get Hungry!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; – A closed mouth doesn’t get fed if you want things to happen. You have to initiate the action!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Stay up and hope this reaches some of you on a level of comprehension and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;retention&lt;/span&gt;. And to whomever reads this good-luck on your &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;endeavours&lt;/span&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Ricky&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6523022-7363064470955902411?l=aintnothinbutagthang.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6523022/posts/default/7363064470955902411'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6523022/posts/default/7363064470955902411'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aintnothinbutagthang.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html#7363064470955902411' title='The answer to success.'/><author><name>ricky</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13840270750436199990</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6523022.post-4229796825885009105</id><published>2007-08-02T09:20:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-08-02T09:22:08.181-05:00</updated><title type='text'>i'm gonna need a bodybag</title><content type='html'>how i'm feeling as of late...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;+ feeling good about the band (parle)&lt;br /&gt;+ my job is awesome&lt;br /&gt;+ i love my friends&lt;br /&gt;- missing her&lt;br /&gt;- feeling like i have to push every breathe out of me just to catch another one&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;:( i miss her so much&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6523022-4229796825885009105?l=aintnothinbutagthang.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6523022/posts/default/4229796825885009105'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6523022/posts/default/4229796825885009105'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aintnothinbutagthang.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html#4229796825885009105' title='i&apos;m gonna need a bodybag'/><author><name>ricky</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13840270750436199990</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6523022.post-117269791641508638</id><published>2007-02-28T15:21:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2007-02-28T15:25:16.426-06:00</updated><title type='text'>and the story goes a little something like this....</title><content type='html'>it's so easy sometimes to just quit on something. you can pour your heart, time, money and emotions so invested into something, and once it gets to a point to where you're tired of it, it's just so easy to quit. my gf broke up with me today and the only thing i could do is watch it as it went by. I've tried so many time on so many levels to try to make this work. comprimising, making promises and secret negotiations with your heart just won't work anymore. she doesn't want to do this anymore but i dont know if i want to either. i know i can probably do better but we'll see what this all ends up to be. but like i heard once, "love can't save you." it really can't. i dont know why i'm writing this but i feel a little bit betterr about the situation. whatever. i'm sure later i'll feel so crappy, sad, emotional but i'm sure eventually i'll get over it.  this is stupid.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6523022-117269791641508638?l=aintnothinbutagthang.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6523022/posts/default/117269791641508638'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6523022/posts/default/117269791641508638'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aintnothinbutagthang.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html#117269791641508638' title='and the story goes a little something like this....'/><author><name>ricky</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13840270750436199990</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6523022.post-116760305967402216</id><published>2006-12-31T16:07:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2006-12-31T16:10:59.690-06:00</updated><title type='text'>I'm a genious with a headache</title><content type='html'>the only fingers you point should be at the mirror.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;tomorrow is 2007.i dont make resolutions, i make promises to my heart and i dont need some end of the year party ushered in with a hangover and smoke-filled hair to "start over". there are 364 other chances in the year to stop your shitty or counter-productive behavior so why choose today? you dont need a "resolution" or a new year to "begin again" because this world is full of people just WAITING to "begin again". its just as arbitrary as any other monday. if your year sucked its because you didnt make an effort to learn from your mistakes or from those who surround you.&lt;br /&gt;they say the number one "resolution" is to lose weight. so do it.yeah, dr. phill isnt the one to stand by your side and give you the "you'll get em next time, tiger" speech. no, fuck you. if you didnt lose the weight you wanted to you're simply lazy. hands down. you tried but you didnt try hard or long enough. you gave in and gave up. the world is full of lazy people. are you one of them?stop eating crap, stop eating so much and start moving around. yeah weird, it actually works.&lt;br /&gt;you want better friends because all they do is talk shit to you.what people and predominantly, kids dont understand is that friendship is a two way street and that YOU happen to be half of that shitty relationship. either you're enabling the abusive relationship or you're too much of a chickenshit to stand up to people and tell them that they are offending you. which one are you?if you maintain shitty friendships its because you yourself let it happen. if you have shitty friends its because you're a shitty person. its difficult to stand up for what you think is right, but whats more difficult...to tell someone who has a part of your heart that what they do or say is offending you and remove them out of your life or to sit back and take your place as a submissive and beaten dog as they continue to make you eat shit sandwiches? ultimately, you control the people you surround yourself with."i want to tell the world to 'fuck off,' just like you ricky."telling the world to 'fuck off' without knowing what you're standing up for or having direction is pointless and childish. people dont like inarticulate spoiled little brats, you simply come off as selfish and immature. the last two things that would evoke empathy or understanding. whats your battle plan? what do you have to gain by telling the world to 'fuck off'? is there a reason? once you've accomplished your goal of giving everyone you know the finger, then what? no one will care about your trite little middle finger rebellion unless you have an objective. every little thing your heart desires will involve some sort of compromise or sacrifice. school, friendships, money, careers...every last goal you strive for will involve some amount of suffering, how much you will tolerate will be up to you. you dont like to compromise? cool. good luck with your life. i hope you dont expect big things. "but i just want the world to accept me for me."yeah, well get in line. resolutions have a long history of failure. lifestyle changes do not.temporary solutions are just that, temporary. thats why most diets fail. because people dont see it as a permanent plan, we see it as a line in the sand that once we think we've crossed we can sit down and relax...but what most of us dont realize is that that line is always moving. it doesnt wait for you, us or anyone. the struggle of life is constantly running to cross that line and the irony of it all is that we will never cross it and the knowledge of that is the difference between the intelligent and the victims.so you can moan and bitch and complain and fall back with the boring and lazy who want nothing more than for you to keep them company or, with two middle fingers raised high you can smile and run as hard as you can because your character will be measured by the goals you strive for, the fight you give and the secret promises you've made to your heart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2006 was the best year of my life. love/live/learn&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6523022-116760305967402216?l=aintnothinbutagthang.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6523022/posts/default/116760305967402216'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6523022/posts/default/116760305967402216'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aintnothinbutagthang.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html#116760305967402216' title='I&apos;m a genious with a headache'/><author><name>ricky</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13840270750436199990</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6523022.post-113068522844998734</id><published>2005-10-30T09:05:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2005-10-30T09:13:48.493-06:00</updated><title type='text'>cancel our subscription - we don't need your wishes anymore</title><content type='html'>i should be ashamed of this, i'm not.&lt;br /&gt;this smile don't work and i'm only as loyal as my options.&lt;br /&gt;find a nice spot in this room where you can dig yourself much deeper in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i can't believe that you would ever trust me.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6523022-113068522844998734?l=aintnothinbutagthang.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6523022/posts/default/113068522844998734'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6523022/posts/default/113068522844998734'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aintnothinbutagthang.blogspot.com/2005_10_01_archive.html#113068522844998734' title='cancel our subscription - we don&apos;t need your wishes anymore'/><author><name>ricky</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13840270750436199990</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6523022.post-112909271270661584</id><published>2005-10-11T23:37:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2005-10-11T23:51:52.713-05:00</updated><title type='text'>take your foot out of your mouth and into the door</title><content type='html'>I’ll choose to follow the tracks, to study the facts, the acts that you left behind.

It kind of makes me feel insecure because if i have an open mind, that means someone else has a closed mind and at times irrational. Lately... i know ive contradicted myself because in the past i said... pfff girl pants??? I wear my pants.  call it a trend, fashion, i call it kinda cool looking haha.As of late there are a few who are dearly important to me who say i have changed and become a rude and incosiderate asshole. I may fail to see this, but that doesnt mean everyone else does. Everyone has their own lense of point, and i have to consider that and respect it. I dont have to agree with it, no, i dont, but have to wonder why and where it came from.THe truth is everyone changes, some moreso than others. Everyone i know who is my friend has changed... and i know a lot. Some grew as i expected, others... grew... well lets just say i saw everything pretty much comming. People gradually push toward where they want to go or who they want to be... others dont and become something they hate.ME? Yes i have to say I am happy with who i am. I dont think im rude or inconsiderate, and if you think me so... well tell me how i've offended you. I've tried hard to incoorporate the feelings of others and im sad to say i make compromises in my character, but i find out that this is what you pay for an open mind. There adaptation and then there is conformity. I still see that I am Ricky, and that there is a difference between me and your cookie cutter not so individual. I wish people could understand that change is constant, and even if people change i accept that, and to me it is ok. People who i am or was closest too have probably changed the most, and I do my best to accept their personalities for who they are because I love them. THere is a point where acceptance becomes something i cant do because of the uncomfortable aura that draws me away... but as long as you dont harm me, i see no reason to take action. I try to justify my actions with ... well an eye for an eye, but i guess that would make us all blind. We all try too hard to protect our pride, and I'm writing this so anyone who actually cares who i am can understand me.

It doesn't make them feel any less electric or sting any less each time it happens. It didn't make any sense than and it doesn't make much more now. and I remember how much time I spent trying so hard to be cool (for you) and then when uncool became in - I thought I finally had it. I pushed the enevelope and made awkward and blue look good (I can't stand/stop myself). And in a year I doubt, in fact I am sure noone will care how shitty some girl treated me, no matter how witty or spiteful or catchy the words that are written about it. Still, right now, this moment feels like it goes on forever. Like it has always gone on but I just never payed attention to it (till it smashed me in the face in the form of you). I can write about but words are of poor substitute for the taste of bile on my toungue from the void of words to snap back at the dial tone when you hang up and the inevitable bowing before the porcelain and dying on the tile floor. But enough of the trips down memory lane (the problem is when you can't get off it). Send me some directions I am at the corner of has been and never was. It's funny how when it feels like I can't breath when I think of you (and him and him and him) so I try to focus on each individual part of the process and simplify it, will myself to work. I wish I had the courage to tell you I deserved better. (But I think somewhere deep down I know I deserve it). And you feeling good shouldn't come at the expense of my dignity. And noone has as many excuses as you. And how nothing feels worse than this stomachache except when I think of how you tell me about how cola and peppermint calm my stomach lining.... And all your wonderful remedies for the problems you cause. But everytime I open my mouth nothing comes out but, "yeah, I'm doing alright" (I'd like to thank my family, and god for helping me get the award for year's best lie). I used to obsess over feeling better. Now I only obsess over you. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-rick&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6523022-110351184548665754?l=aintnothinbutagthang.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6523022/posts/default/110351184548665754'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6523022/posts/default/110351184548665754'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aintnothinbutagthang.blogspot.com/2004_12_01_archive.html#110351184548665754' title='spend most of my time trying to write hits - with the constant weight of worry that they&apos;ll all miss'/><author><name>ricky</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13840270750436199990</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6523022.post-110158676164619062</id><published>2004-11-27T14:16:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2004-11-27T14:20:35.103-06:00</updated><title type='text'>i think it's so rad that none of you can comment on here...</title><content type='html'>how naive we are to think someone out there could possibly fill our every desire. we hang on the notion of the princess that embodies everything we could ever want in a person. &lt;br /&gt;wait...just wait. &lt;br /&gt;someday you'll wake up (or maybe not), roll over and see the person for what they are. good intentions and half hearted guilted attempts at romance. her eyes tell me this often, and yes, its hurts. so now fucking what?

(see: dr. phil, al franken, rush limbaugh, etc.) im tired. ive been telling this story of 'me' for years and it wears me out. im exhausted from digging and opening old wounds and from leaving myself open to criticism and ridicule. but i do it because i love it. but its telling the story of 'me' that opened my eyes and ears to my voice. what i mean is, no one ever listens to themselves. we all have clear thoughts that we dont voice and truths that we refuse to hear. why? because they challenge us. because its easy to go along. to feel alone. to sit and brood in our rooms. to feel numb. to yell without context. to write words we think we should because some other asshole with a journal writes that way. we fool ourselves to think the worlds on fire...and its not. theres a voice that screams, "quit being a pussy," everytime we cry. we shrug it off because its easy and comfortable to lie to ourselves, to wallow, to be depressed. it takes effort and strength to deal. thats why i have no respect for the drunks falling out of the bar that i will pass to pick up my sushi (the imperial). theyre hiding. if they say theyre not well then that makes them fucking liars too. i dont know any more than you...i know exactly what you do. im just not afraid of it. so butch up nancy.&lt;br /&gt;are you a fucking murderer or a victim?&lt;br /&gt;cause we all play our role.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-between your smiles and regrets...  ricky&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6523022-110041654706992351?l=aintnothinbutagthang.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6523022/posts/default/110041654706992351'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6523022/posts/default/110041654706992351'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aintnothinbutagthang.blogspot.com/2004_11_01_archive.html#110041654706992351' title='know your role'/><author><name>ricky</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13840270750436199990</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6523022.post-110024046866055380</id><published>2004-11-12T01:20:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2004-11-12T00:22:40.843-06:00</updated><title type='text'>tough times for dreamers</title><content type='html'>i've gotten a lot of advice in my life. and i've given a lot of advice. but the one thing i truly believe more than anything is *never change yourself for somebody* i haven't because i did before, and it didn't work. whoever says "never fall in love" has gotten their heart broken but if everyone just forgets about the outcome, they can enjoy it more. i want to fall in love and i have so. even if i get my heart broken, isnt it all worth it?

We wave our flags of resentment and are immediately absolved of accountability, guilt and shame. Sink or swim, there comes a point when we have to realize that we are who we let ourselves be. If we continue to be the victim of mommy and daddys mistakes that's all we will be, an emotional hypochondriac. So we grow and we accept, we deal and we mature. Fuck mom and dad, if I'm an asshole its because I let myself become one. But that's not what this is about.This is about not only being accountable for every action, re-action, emotion and relationship because we are the bruised and broken sons and daughters of shame and filth. This is about allowing us to reap the benefits of a semi-privileged upbringing.

Outside of its obvious meaning, I don't think there's been a more clear definition of the word, relationship. Talking with women and gay men about relationships all day and bros and dudes at night, I've become a kind of expert in the certainties of the ups and downs. The most basic and prevelent being, "the grass is always greener on the other side", the only exception to this being the beginning of a relationship or the beginning of being single. Desire is the fire that instills the never ending "burning" in our pants that we can never extinguish. The second, similar to the first, being we always want what we can't have. If we're single we want someone to cuddle with, if we're cuddling with someone we want someone to makeout with, if we're making out we just want some on to bang, if we're banging we just want someone to love, if we're in love we just don't understand why they don't love us the way we love them, if they love us too much we think, "damn, why don't they just chill the fuck out", then we start to think about being single...and so a million john hughes movies are born. And third, relying on others to make us happy is certain failure. If we fall for the "you complete me" jerry maguire bullshitt, we will fail. Every relationship you've ever been in has failed, everyone you've ever known has failed, whether they're still together or not. Why? Because we're all looking FOR love, not looking to BE love. Going into relationships with guards and walls, reservations and expectations deems us failures from the start. We can't be happy (try to convince yourself all you want) until we're happy with ourselves. So how do you feel when you're alone? Without a shoulder? How do you feel 6 months into being single lying in bed between those 10 minutes of forever before you fall asleep? You don't 'complete' shit, you arrogant bastards. If the focus is on me, me and me how could you possibly expect someone to be unselfish and give you what you think you 'deserve'? Its rare that two people are in the same position in life and can make things work, that's why most (if not all) of the time we do fail. We fail ourselves, we cheat others. We 'cheat' boy and girls and lovers with open hearts into thinking we can give them what they need but we 'fail' to give them what they all truly deserve.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Ricky&lt;br

different hearts nothing gets old. you never really have to mean anything to anyone. i have intimacy problems with the world. her eyes are blackened around the edges so much that she looks like a racoon. they look like permenant black eyes- the consumate victim. everybody loves the victim. he can’t put his finger on what it reminds him of but the closest he can come are old zombie movies. she’s made-up to look half dead- which still beats most of them who are just half-alive anyway. her hair looked like rows of shark teeth dyed over dye jobs like she was running away from her natural color. noone wants to be what they are. she looks independent in a very vulnerable way. the safest kind of dangerous. we drove around the city so she could alternate between cigarettes and coffee. we talk about the kids we hate just so we have something to agree about. they used to be just like us. we’re sitting on the edge of her bed. every single inch on your body is filled with millions of nerves. somewhere inside your brain neurons have fired to synapses and put them on alert. when your hands brush hers it feels electric. every movement has a meaning, either yes or no. its getting later and later. the conversation and the possibilities are running out. last call. this is a war. everytime she moves her hand to her hair she is sending you signals. stay or leave. why can’t you figure them out. don’t strike first. wait until you are tired enough to make a move. lean in to kiss her bringing an awkward break in conversation. as you pull back she keeps talking about writers and bands she thinks will make her look cooler. but your fooled if only because you are worried she has found you out. push your tongue into her mouth too keep the right words from spilling out. her sheets smell like stale cigarettes smoked by boys who were me on nights before. she has a body that is built for sex. the kind a kid like me wouldn’t know what to do with if we had half the chance. imagine the chemistry of swallowed DNA. she has a scar that runs down her back right along the spine, like somebody tried to steal it. i joked her like this: “someone must have ignored the blue prints, look at all the structural damage”. but i stuttered and trailed off. the smoke curled off of her lips. for a second i was dying to be it. dying to be as clever and kissable as her. there she was sitting in front of me, knee pulled up to to her chin. smoking a cigarrette thinking of something or someone else. and thats how she will be stuck in my mind forever. two explorers in the dark, mapless and hopeless. alone together. its funny how easy it is to sleep with someone, but how hard it is to sleep next to someone. it’s too intimate. it makes my heartbeat race and pound inside my head. it is deafening. i slide my arm from behind her head and slip out the door. the pavement on the sidewalk is watching me go over every moment in my head. it’s watching me remember you. mistake by mistake. frame by frame. we’re not just taking trips down memory lane, we are broken down on it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

type='text'>this is the new romance.</title><content type='html'>well since lj was being dumb, this will never let me down. so here goes:&lt;br /&gt;your ideas of beauty and romance are just plain boring and outdated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the flowers: expensive, dead and chiche'. ooh roses, you think that one up yourself? and your forced dates make more for awkwardness and ego-stroking than anything else. &lt;br /&gt;and when that boy you're in love with doesnt pay as much attention to you as he did in the beginning, yep it means he doesnt love you as much as you love him. and chances are you wont live happily ever after. cause most of us dont. dont believe me? ask around.&lt;br /&gt;that whole saving yourself for marriage bit? makes about as much sense as not test driving a car before you buy it. wise up.&lt;br /&gt;and if you're still falling for the same 'i screech my tires, hey look what i can do/buy' dickhead, well then missy you deserve all the garbage he throws at you. like spending five hundred bucks on a car and getting pissed when it craps out on you. cause people are only as shitty as you let them be.&lt;br /&gt;your ideas of romance are as worn out and warped as that old ass vhs porno you've been holding onto since 7th grade.&lt;br /&gt;everyones done what you think you're the first to feel. &lt;br /&gt;your prom, fuck it. its not magical. its $100 tux fees, $500 limos and throwing up in buckets at 2am. &lt;br /&gt;losing your virginity that night? way to wipe out any lick of romance from whats supposed to be the ultimate expression of love.&lt;br /&gt;wearing your hair up? yeah, only girls find this attractive. same goes for your sick fake nails, no ones buying the 2 inch thick french manicure you paid far too much for, and good luck getting those things off. ill be damned if ive EVER heard a guy say, "damn dude, you see her nails? thats sooo hott." staying up till its way too goddamn light outside, making out somewhere your parents dont want you to be.&lt;br /&gt;this is the new romance.&lt;br /&gt;its first times on parents beds.&lt;br /&gt;its tripping her from behind.&lt;br /&gt;its stealing cars for sneak kisses.&lt;br /&gt;its 6 hour phone calls.&lt;br /&gt;its text messages.&lt;br /&gt;its telling your friends you love them/her.&lt;br /&gt;its reading someone to sleep.&lt;br /&gt;its video game tournaments with people you love the most.&lt;br /&gt;its getting her into the show for free (july 27th).&lt;br /&gt;its stolen tulips from gardens.&lt;br /&gt;its being able to remember what you did last night.&lt;br /&gt;its having fun with sex.&lt;br /&gt;its the split second your eyes meet hers when you're going down on her.&lt;br /&gt;its keeping your word.&lt;br /&gt;its breaking it off when its time.&lt;br /&gt;its spooning on the couch.&lt;br /&gt;its the energy in the air the 5 minutes before they ring that doorbell.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the real romance is the 10 people who truly matter in this world.&lt;br /&gt;the real romance is not giving a shit what the other 5,999,999,990 think.&lt;br /&gt;the real romance is the beauty of the fuck you.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br

used to be something i could do really well and now i couldn't if my life depended on it. i want to tell you more than i do, but knowing that it would'nt get me anywhere is pointless and becoming a lovely letdown (tomyself). but in the same token, knowing all of this is gonna be worth it is the greatest feeling in the world. it's moments like these that i live for. earning every part of the way and not taking anything handed to me. i'm glad you make this hard and maybe time is what (the nurse) ordered. it's funny how she knows when i'm smiling, crying (and i never admit that to anyone), or any kind of mood i'm in. i love it. you're the only one who understands me &amp; i just can't let that go. i'm with you till the end.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;watching my chemical romance with you
