Moving!

Well some of you may already know but for those who do not I will be living in Augusta Georgia as of Thursday.  I have been given an Abercrombie & Fitch store at the Augusta Mall and will be starting as Manager there this week.  It is pretty sudden but I am anxious for a change.  I will only be an hour and a half away from Greenville so I will be back very often to visit which is a good thing.  Everyone is free to visit me if you are ever in the area, I am sure I would love the company!

Poem 2
Current mood: determined
Category: Writing and Poetry

So I wrote another one, not sure if it is good or not, but I figured I would put it on here and see what you guys thought.

I Wear My Frown Upside Down

To the world it looks like a smile

To tell the truth it seems to have worked for a while

But I don't know how long I can continue

And this seems to be my only venue

To let it all out and free

A place where I can let the world see me

I walk around in some sort of daze

My mind is clouded, filled with a haze

So I sit here and write and write

Hoping this will help me win this fight

Days go by and they all seem to blend

I can't help but wonder when it will all end

I have to find the strength to stand

A solid place that where it is safe to land

These feelings I have are getting harder to hide

And it seems like I have no one with whom I can confide

So sit here and write I will

Till it seems I have had my fill

I will find my smile again

I just have to dig deep within

Now is the time to get rid of this frown

Never again will it be worn upside down

New Poem
Current mood: peaceful
Category: Life

It seems as though writing helps let one's feelings out, so I sat down again and wrote something that seemed to have helped somewhat.  Let me know what you guys think, thanks.  And go easy, I am not very good at the poetry stuff.

I call it closure:

Everything has changed
Nothing with us is the same
The pain is so intense
And it stays on the brain
Memories that will not go away
Laughter and smiles good times and bad
Didn't we almost have it all?
If I think too much it makes me so sad

Tears want to fall like rain but I won't let it
Yes my heart is hurt but soon I'll forget
Easier to smile then to cry
Or wonder and keep asking myself why?
How could something so right go so wrong?
Guess we will never know
So I will keep moving on

We were so close for a moment in time
Thought we'd finally found happiness
But really I was blind
Plans we made and love we shared
Faded away like the sun
But almost doesn't count this I know to be true
So I let go of all we could have been
And say goodbye to me and you.

Ode to the "Good Guys"

From a guys point of view:

We don't care if you talk to other guys.

We don't care if you're friends with other guys.

But when you're sitting next to us, and some random guy walks into the room and you jump up and tackle him, without even introducing us, yeah, it pisses us off.

It doesn't help if you sit there and talk to him for ten minutes without even acknowledging the fact that we're still there.

We don't care if a guy calls you, but at 2 in the morning we do get a little concerned. Nothing is that important at 2 a.m. that it can't wait till the morning.
____________________________________________________
Also, when we tell you you're pretty/ beautiful/ gorgeous/ cute/ stunning, we FUCKING mean it.

Don't tell us we're wrong.

We'll stop trying to convince you.

The sexiest thing about a girl is confidence.
____________________________________________________
Yeah, you can quote me.

Push us down on the couch and make a move once in a while. We like that aggressiveness about you and we like the unexpected. When we know you're really happy, it makes us happy too.
____________________________________________________
Don't be mad when we hold the door open.
Take Advantage of the mood im in.

LET US PAY FOR YOU!

DON'T "FEEL BAD"

We enjoy doing it (Paying for you).

It's expected.

Smile and say "thank you."
____________________________________________________
Kiss us when no one's watching.

If you kiss us when you know nobody's looking we'll be more impressed.
____________________________________________________
You don't have to get dressed up for us.

If we're going out with you in the first place, you don't have to feel the need to wear the shortest skirt you have or put on every kind of makeup you own.

We like you for WHO you are and not WHAT you are.

honestly, i think a girl looks more beautiful when she's just in her pj's. or my tshirt and boxers, not all dolled up

____________________________________________________
Don't take everything we say seriously.

Sarcasm is a beautiful thing. See the beauty in it.

Don't get angry easily.
____________________________________________________
Stop using magazines/media as your bible.

***Don't talk about how hott Morris Chesnutt, Brad Pitt, or Jesse McCartney is in front of us.

***It's boring, and we don't care.
You have girlfriends for that.
____________________________________________________
Whatever happened to the word "handsome"/"beautiful"

I'd be utterly stunned by a girl who greeted me with "Hey
handsome!" instead of "Hey baby/ stud/ cutie/ sexy" or whatever else you can think of.

on the other hand im not saying I wouldn't like it either ; )
____________________________________________________
Girls, I cannot stress this enough:
IF YOU AREN'T BEING TREATED RIGHT BY A GUY, DON'T WAIT FOR HIM TO CHANGE. DITCH HIS SORRY, DISGRACE-TO-THE-MALE-POPULATION SELF, AND FIND SOMEONE WHO WILL TREAT YOU WITH UTTER RESPECT


Someone who will honor your morals.

Someone who will make you smile when you're at your lowest.

Someone who will care for you even when you make mistakes.

Someone who will love you, no matter how bad you make them feel.

Someone who will stop what theyre doing just to look you in the
eyes....and say "i love you" ...



....AND ACTUALLY MEAN IT!

Give the nice guys a chance!!!!!!

A poem...
Category: Writing and Poetry

I have never claimed to be a great writter, lol, but I felt the urge to write something last night, something that weighed heavy on my heart.  Here it is, take it for what you want...

When I was younger, I thought I knew,
All of life's answers, and how to be true.
Of people and love I knew the ins and outs.
And in that ignorance, made decisions without doubts.

The decisions I made where not all wrong,
Indeed, most of them helped me along.
But all the answers, I did not know
And have made mistakes that surely show.

I walked along the pathway of life
Unaware of the coming pain and strife.
At one of life's biggest hurdles, I did stumble
And ever since then, I have had to be humble.

Yet from that mistake emerged a bright light
Which I will honor, and, for always will fight.
Till now it was that light, that has sustained,
Any reason, for love and life to be maintained.

Then you came back, it had'nt been that long,
And breathed new life, like a beautiful song.
The emotions and feelings that I thought dead
Have awoken, and become stronger instead.

What is wrong, what is right and what can be shared?
These are the questions constantly in my head.
Of one thing I am sure,
My love for you is very pure.

I have listened to what society has taught
And to these things, everyday I give thought.
Yet we pass this way one time only,
And I don't want to spend it being lonely.

When that light shines in it's own direction,
And no longer needs my undivided affection,
Will I be standing alone and sad?
Or will you be there to make me happy and glad?

I hope and pray that you will understand when I say,
That although the price may be high to pay,
You and I will find a way.

Becuase you are my soulmate...you and I are fate.

Something to think about!

I read this and felt compelled to share.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

I read of a man who stood to speak

At a funeral of a friend

He referred to the dates on her tombstone

From the beginning to the end

He noted that first came her date of her birth

And spoke the following date with tears,

But he said what mattered most of all

Was the dash between those years

For that dash represents all the time

That she spent alive on earth.

And now only those who loved her

Know what that little line is worth.

For it matters not how much we own;

The cars, the house, the cash,

What matters is how we live and love

And how we spend our dash.

So think about this long and hard.

Are there things you'd like to change?

For you never know how much time is left,

That can still be rearranged.

If we could just slow down enough

To consider what's true and real

And always try to understand

The way other people feel.

And be less quick to anger,

And show appreciation more

And love the people in our lives

Like we have never loved before.

If we treat each other with respect,

And more often wear a smile

Remembering that this special dash

Might only last a little while.

So, when your eulogy is being read

With your life's actions to rehash

Would you be proud of the things they say

About how you spent your dash?
