It's one of those kind of nights...

Try as I might,
I can't step away from these expectations I have.
Always hoping for the best,
Even in the worst of situations.
Playing out a million different scenarios in my mind,
But throwing the pessimistic in the proverbial recycling bin of my thought-sphere,
Whilst placing the most hopeful, yet unlikely, on a pedestal, like shiny, golden stars.
Yet, despite this, I find myself, disgustingly, settling for the most mundane of outcomes,
Ironically crossing my fingers for my "eventual" knight-in-shining-armor.

Masochists Anonymous

The other day I came to a realization; everyone in this world is a masochist. I know it sounds weird, but think about it. There are three kinds of masochists. There are emotional masochists, physical masochists, and mental masochists. The physical are the most well-known. Usually you hear the term masochist you think bondage, or something along those lines,right? Well, that's not completely the case. You like when your significant others sucking on your neck don't you, or the little nibble on the ear or lip? And it does have the slight pain to it that's like, "ohhh, owww, mmmm..." I'm sure you get my point. Then there are emotional masochists. They're even more common, although less heard of. They're the people that know they shouldn't do something, yet they do it anyway, the ones that repeatedly put themselves in the most emotionally painful situations. However, most of them fall into a category of unconscious masochists, where they don't f

YOU ARE SHALLOW! or settling...

The world is broken up into two groups of people: the people that settle and the people that are shallow. Okay, I can imagine the completely confused look on your face right now, and the temptation to just completely skip over what you think is BS, but hear me out. Now when I say shallow, I mean shallow as in people that look at the surface and not much else when they're looking for a significant other. (Yes, I know I'm using the term a bit loosely, but its the definition we are most familiar with in society.) Now, you're thinking, "That's not true. I've fallen for people for their personality before." And to you I say bullshit. Stop lying to yourself. You fell for that person because you liked the way they looked. Then you continued liking them because you liked the way they looked AND realized they had a tolerable, or dare I say, interesting personality. And now I say to you, what is wrong with that? Looks are influenced by perception. I, myself, have we

Roadtrips

So every Saturday or Sunday of every few weeks my family drags me on a short road trip. Its not horrible and its only for the day, however these early hours are going to wear me out. I'm forced to wake up under the cover of darkness, get dressed, and be in the car by the time the sun is fully up. Then I have to sit for hours, usually without my iPod since it dies in about 30 minutes, in a car with them. Now remember we're all cranky, we're all tired, and we all are uncomfortable since our car is a Volkswagen, which is not the best car for a road trip no matter how short it may be. Then we get to whatever place we are traveling to that day, with directions provided by the infamous Map Quest, and we usually have to wait until it opens. Then we follow-up by only eating meals consisting of junk food from gas stations and fast food rest stops. So why do we do this insane, masochistically-seeming tradition? Well, there's always the hope of finding an old Beatles record, or
