BLOG: Hurt

What is it with me that all of my friendships seem to be falling through the cracks? No matter how hard I try to make things work out, no matter how hard I try to be friends with someone, to show them how much I care from them, it seems to me that everyone is just slapping me in the face. I know I am not normal. I am off balance, and I need help. I attend counselling weekly, sometimes more than that. I am going through the right steps to become a better person. . . Don't you want to be here with me when I am better? Don't you want to see my progress and be proud of me for how far I have come? I used to be significantly worse off. I have come a long way in the past 6 years. I still have work to do on myself, but don't we all? Isn't that the point of life? To better yourself through the course of your lifetime? To constantly become a better person? I think I am a pretty awesome dude. It took me twenty-something years to learn to love myself. I have a lot to offer. I am in...

Blog: Confused Beyond Belief

So, I want to talk to this one girl in particular. You are by far the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. I love everything about you. But, You confuse the crap out of me, in more ways than I care to list. I love your voice, I love your smile, I love you. But you are constantly giving me mixed signals. I just do not know what to make of it. I am in the process of trying to decipher my own feelings about you as well. You make me feel ... Different. Happy. I am so enthralled when you talk to me. Even for the handful of minutes we spend together. Our worlds are severely different, however. I have spent many nights crying because of you. Months ago, I disappeared. I am sorry. But you were never far from my mind. I spent many nights writing letters to you. Letters that you may never see, but I have them. You are "My Dearest Sweetheart" SHOUTOUT TO MEGAN CASSIDY! READ HER BIAS ARTICLE ABOUT ME (IN THE LAST BLOG) TO KNOW WHY I DISAPPEARED. I love your spirit, your positivity. I...

All Alone It's very dark drowning in his tears he can't get up "You're Ugly" "You're fat" A voice is screaming But, nobody can stop the bleeding Inside and out He's leaving now Darkness is ahead Rest my lonely child, It's all in your head.

BLOGS: Being Ok

Turning life around is not an easy thing to do. It has been a long haul, and I can honestly say that I have come leaps and bounds to be where I am at now. I can't say that it was an easy thing to do. Matter of fact, I am nowhere near "ok" yet. I am getting there. Because I have my wonderful friends Emily and Kerry who have been directly coaching me, uplifting me, and inspiring me on a daily basis, life has done a 180 spin for me. Based on my circumstances, I have many reasons to be as down as ever. Based on the support of these two wonderful ladies, however, my life has been so joyous. I may slip, but I am on the path of recovery. Without these two wonderful girls, I would more than likely have been very depressed right now. But, because of these two wonderful friends, I have a reason to live. I look forward to every day of my life, because I get the opportunity to talk to them. They give me a reason to look forward to the coming days. I have hope in the world that I have...

BLOGS: Where am I going in Life?

Sitting here, I am left alone with my thoughts, and where my mind takes me. Right now I am sitting here, trying to figure out what is going to happen in my life. Where do I want to go? What do I want to do? What am I doing with my life? Quite honestly, I have no idea. I am really wanting to go on a trip to France, Indonesia, and Australia. What purpose would that serve in my life? Wouldn't it be better if I waited until I had someone to go with? I am full of questions. Maybe some of them don't need to be answered now. Here is what I know. No matter how much I love my job right now, I am not going to be at Pizza Hut for the rest of my life. If not at Pizza Hut, where? I don't know. I can't even make up my mind for what I want to study in College. I can picture myself in an office. Maybe being a lawyer would be something to consider? I don't know. I want to leave Casper, I know that. Where do I want to go? I have no idea. I think about Colorado or California. These tw...

BLOGS: Consumers of Information

With the situation that has evolved down at UW, I have seen, once again, how bias the media has been. The headlines read almost the same every time, "Liberal College Blogger Faked Rape Threat From Conservative Student." This poses a question for me, however, as a consumer of information. What evidence has been presented against this student that proves that she did it. We as consumers know absolutely nothing about what has been said or done. The media has basically convicted this student, although they are not stating what evidence has been provided against her. So, how do we know that she did or didn't do it. She hasn't gone to court. In the situation where you are being accused of a crime, you would appreciate to be presumed innocent until you are proven guilty. Why can't we give this person the same respect? I am not a liberal. I am far from it, but this is not a case of politics in my mind. This is a case of the media jumping on a story when there...

BLOGS: You

Why are you so special to me? I can't seem to find the answer to. I guess I know the answer to that, I am just looking for something on why you care about me. You treat me as if I am a better person than I see myself as being. You make me feel so happy. You encourage me, and you inspire me. You make me feel like I am a good person. You don't judge me. How can you do this? In a world where everyone is so critical of me, and where everyone is so mean, you treat me like I am a person. You seem to recognize that I want respect. You treat me like a person should be treated. But why? I have all these labels, engraved into my own soul, in my heart, and in my mind. Worthless, Stalker, Garbage. But you make those labels go away. You bring me to a higher place. How? Why? I have spent many hours wondering these things, contemplating what the logical solution is, and I have come up with nothing. I almost would say that the way you treat me makes you special from everyone else....

BLOGS: Love

Well, First off, It has been a while since I have posted here. I have been taking advantage of the Facebook Notes section of the page. I am going to try and update this a little more often. The Theme I Want To Talk About Today Is Love First, In a personal sense. What does it mean when I tell you I love you? There is a lot of emotion when it comes to the word "love." I don't throw it out there very often. So, if I ever tell you I love you, I really do love you. What does "love" mean then? First, and most importantly, it means I care about you. If I ask you what's up, or how are you, I really care, and I want to know what is going on in your life. I use these two phrases a lot. Overall, I really do care, but if I have ever told you I love you, there is an extra degree of interest that I have in your state of being. There is a difference between being in love, and loving someone too. The word Love can be used to describe both of these emotions, so that i...
