Love. Forever. More.

Life full of love…
Love filled within life,
I don’t have to think twice,
To ask you to be my wife.

Love is in the air…
Air is filled with love,
Take deep breaths,
Let it fill your lungs.

Shooting stars…
A flash of something bright,
We are all just reindeer,
Entranced by the light.

Make a wish…
And hope it comes true,
I’ll be forever by your side,
Forever, I’ll love you.

You Said What? Pt I

*the following is for discussion only and not intended to directly upset an individual that has been a victim of rape or any form or sexual assault.*

“It seems to me, from what I understand from doctors, that’s really rare,” Mr. Akin said of pregnancies from rape. “If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down. But let’s assume that maybe that didn’t work or something: I think there should be some punishment, but the punishment ought to be of the rapist, and not attacking the child.” -Todd Akin

Ok, ok , ok, ok….

Lets talk about this…

First off… rape is a very serious and tragic event that can happen to anyone’s life.  This is not something that anyone should take lightly.  So with that in mind… I’m shocked that Mr. Akin would start to preach this event, in the way he choose to, during his election.  Now… I am a conservative myself.  So, yes, I do believe in “pro-life”.  I also believe that there is always a good thing that can happen out of every bad situation… and maybe having a child could be that “good thing”.

Secondly… lets talk about his claim that women have “ways to try to shut that whole thing down”.  Studies show that only one percent of women that experience this unfortunate event, do become pregnant. Some studies do actually show that during this intense emotional trauma, that female’s bodies hormones are off balance.  Because of these hormones being off, this “can radically upset her possibility of ovulation, fertilization, implantation and even nurturing of a pregnancy.”

So… is it possible that Todd Akin’s actually was right? According to Bryan Fischer, director of issue analysis for the American Family Association, Mr. Akin is “exactly right”.

However, there are many problems.  Data.  Data.  Data.  There isn’t any… or hardly any.  According to Dr. Greene: “there are all sorts of hormones, including ones that cause your heart to beat fast when you’re frightened; however, I’m not aware of any data that says rape reduces a woman’s risk of getting pregnant.”

In conclusion… this is a serious topic.  And one that should be carefully observed because of its seriousness.  We can see that when rape does happen, that only one percent of women do become pregnant.  Reason’s for this low number is unknown, but more likely, thankful that it is a low number.

What’s The Reason…

Whats to remember when I didnt even exist?
The thoughts of starting somethin,
Didn’t mean shit…
The truth?
You never wanted any part of it.

Should of listened from the get go
My heart was starving
You feed me till I was full
Heart pounding, carving…

I really don’t know much,
But I know what to feel…
And as much as I hate needles at the doctors,
I can tell you that this shit was more real.

Pain is all around the world,
Love has fallen apart,
And this is the last time in my life,
I will give away my heart.

Wear it on my sleeve,
I should consider that,
Because as easy as it was for me to give it away,
I could of been letting someone borrow my hat.

And to get it back…
Is as easier than to give???
Let me ask you a question…
Is it easier to steal or to borrow?
Is it easier to suffer or to live?

That’s right… life is crazy,
We suffer daily,
We all wake up to accomplish one thing,
Get through another one… maybe.

So what should I do…
Jump off a bridge?
Just “kick it” and “hang”?
Should I ride til I die?
Rockin guns never get the same pain?

Its all bullshit…
I’m over it…
I will just drink…
Til my body can no longer function…
That, will be, accomplished in one way…
When my life no longer functions…

All You Need is Love?

I hear this a lot… “All you need is love!”

Is love really THAT powerful that you can get through anything if all you had was it?

I question this a lot.  Mainly… because either I have never been truly in love before, or because the other person in the relationship wasn’t really in love; regardless, this has never ever been what was all I needed.  To me… love comes and goes.  I grew up believing that blood (family/friends) is thicker than water (relationships).  That there are lots of fish in the sea… so don’t dwell on just one fish.  Same meaning: Dont hold your breath on one aspect of your life… you may never breathe again.

Life is about living… and to me… love sometimes holds you down from living, if that love isn’t genuine.  Now… don’t get me wrong.  I believe in the theory of love.  I believe in what it stands for.  But… it seems to never be enough to hold me through the bullshit that relationships (i’m in) go through.  And… Yes… there is always bullshit…

I look at my past… and smile about all the beautiful ladies that have been in my life.  All the wonderful relationships that were started… and then at all the misery that one went through to get past that relationship… thats right, I said smile.  Why?  Why not?  Every event in my life is an opportunity to learn from it and make it better the next time.  So rather I win or lose… it all evens up with me.

The truth? The truth will bite you in the ass when you are looking dead at the picture.  The truth doesn’t need to hide… The truth is black and white.  And the truth will ALWAYS come out.  So if you or her/him doesn’t really love the other… that will become noticed sooner than later… at least… we hope sooner than later.

As I continue life and swim through this ocean… I will continue to take breaths, because the reality is, as much as each of us wants to be loved… someone of us will drown waiting around to long for it…

The Question…

20120516-182618.jpg

There are many things in life that one just will never understand… Even with questions being asked, one may still feel overwhelmed to understand a certain something. I often get confused where to draw the line of friendship, particularly with females. I, honestly, get along with females better than males. I find myself able to easily carry a conversation with a female with ease. But… should I pursue anything more? Does she like me in away that she would want to be pursued? I catch myself thinking this… just because we talk, does it actually many anything more than friendship.

I know I over think… and I know I can be a worrier (thanks Mom for that trait); however, my questions make absolute sense to ask. I am a single (well almost…) male. I am a loving person. I enjoy and love myself. I have great friends. I have a very loving family. But I am missing that one thing that people do yearn for… a companion… a female that will be there for me and vise versa.

For now… I am enjoying what life throws at me. The friendships that have began again, and the new friends that have walked into my life. I also agree with the statement: “if its meant to be, it will happen”. And also: “Everyone has someone out there for them”.

So for now… I’m going to enjoy the single life… drink my vodka and wines… and if some lady just happens to come up to me and say: “hello”… I will be open to the idea of something that could be great.

Let me know your thoughts on this topic… Why is it hard to date? When does the line get drawn? When is it too late to finally ask someone out?

Understanding…

Love is endless…
But blinded by the truth,
If the truth was heard,
Would you understand it?
Would you actually hear it?

Love is like an echo…
Gets weaker with each bounce,
Gets harder to listen,
Would you understand it?
Would you actually hear it?

Love and Pain…
Share the same soul,
You need one to experience one,
Would you understand it?
Would you actually hear it?

Pain is lightless…
Each one hits harder,
Each one makes the world darker,
Would you understand it?
Would you actually hear it?

Pain is death…
Thoughts stay in the mind,
The body starts to over-analyze,
Would you understand it?
Would you actually hear it?

Love me tonight,
Love me always,
Hold me through the night,
Comfort me on all days,
Live with me forever,
Pain will be never,
Let me hold your hand,
Say this softly in your ear…

But…
Would you understand it?
Would you actually hear it?

Climbing the Ladder

Every time my climbing seems to be going great… I roll the dice wrong and shoot down the snake…

Life is about taking chances.  Sticking your neck out.  Saying things and not holding back.  Even if it is a minor setback to your ultimate goals in life… these setbacks can be necessary to get you to your goals in life.  Life isn’t easy.  Life isn’t going to be an over-hand toss.  Its going to be a fast-ball, curve-ball, or knuckle-ball thrown right at your face.  You just better hope you are prepared with the right equipment to handle it.

Whatever you do… don’t settle.  If you feel, ultimately, that you need to keep “climbing that ladder”… then you must.  Only settlement will anger you.  Drive you crazy… leave you thinking “what if”.  When you met someone that you enjoy being around.  That can be with you to reach those goals.  Don’t let that person leave on the first pitch.  Fight for this person.  Be close with this person.  Love this person.  Cause at the end of the day… its not about how many breaths you take in life… its about the moments in life that takes your breaths away.

Hope

“The opposite of light is not darkness. The opposite of life is not death. It is the absence of light and of life. As long as there’s a breath of life and a glimpse of light, there is hope. Always have hope.” -Natalie Mae Pei

A Time To…

They say there’s:
A time to cry
A time to be sad
A time to say goodbye
A time to be mad

At this bar, drinking,
Trying to get past this sorrow,
Like a wise man, thinking,
Just get me to tomorrow.

I ask too many questions,
Answers of some, I shouldn’t know,
But I stay in the kitchen, when it gets hot…
Cause that’s when true feelings show

I’m burning memories…
Like rubber on NASCAR,
Please leave my memory,
Go somewhere afar…

If struggling is for the weak,
Then I’m at my weakest point,
Been fighting this for to long,
That I forgot to stop and inhale the joint (life)

What’s after this?
A new beginning or a new sinning,
I needed to keep tough,
Because with every beginning starts a new winning.
