Probably Wednesday since I won't be seeing her in person tomorrow.  In fact, I'll probably go out with someone else starting tomorrow.  Even if I'm wrong, I'm not going to take this anymore anyway.</content>

    <content type="html">Alright so this entry's sort of late but this week has been pretty nice.  Well nice for Drace's roller coaster experience.  =)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Friday was pretty awesome actually.  I got to spend the entire majority of the weekend with Mara.  (Ouch she even left the marks ...) We went to Time's Square to this very nice restaurant called Ollie's Soup and Grill that was booked full for twenty minutes but the wait was worth it!  It was pretty inexpensive, the full meal for two of us ran like 30 dollars including tip and we didn't even finish it.  Then Mara treated me to some ice cream, she had Mint Mint Chocolate and I took a Raspberry Sorbet which we had on the steps of some random theater.  The rest of the weekend is ah ... private.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today didn't go so great even though the morning wasn't so bad.  The afternoon went sort of awry but it shouldn't be anything too bad.  If worst comes to worst, I think I'll settle for just being friends with her.  I feel sort of bad for things with Tameira and Charlotte.  I do really like both of them but this floating thing with Mara is just sticking out there.  I know eventually it'll blow up but eh ... I'll face that when it comes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for life itself, well wish me luck on the modeling interview or the art gallery internship.  Adieu!</content>

    <content type="html">Deathless&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hope you are well this morning,&lt;br /&gt;I wake up from the last night’s &lt;br /&gt;thoughts of you, like every morning, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I drew the line at ... somewhere&lt;br /&gt;Between friendship and love,&lt;br /&gt;Or perhaps love and lust,&lt;br /&gt;Where I wanted you physically,&lt;br /&gt;But loved you emotionally,&lt;br /&gt;The night, on your bed for two,&lt;br /&gt;I held you in my arms,&lt;br /&gt;Only because I wanted the warmth&lt;br /&gt;Of your skin to drive away the coldness&lt;br /&gt;Of mine, your fingers wove upon my shoulders,&lt;br /&gt;when I spread the covers&lt;br /&gt;Over you, afraid you were cold,&lt;br /&gt;the moment, yours were no longer against mine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The hardest thing for me to say&lt;br /&gt;That night, because I knew you could&lt;br /&gt;Not love me, why say it when I knew&lt;br /&gt;Refusal wrack my spirit, and feel pains tremble&lt;br /&gt;Through my bones.  You told me, “don’t sound so sad,”&lt;br /&gt;And I shrugged it off, “I wasn’t”.&lt;br /&gt;Why did I tell you that night?  &lt;br /&gt;“I love you”&lt;br /&gt;Because my lie&lt;br /&gt;Was killing me, and I wanted a slower&lt;br /&gt;Death, if only to see you longer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will miss you, my&lt;br /&gt;dearest fairy, as I often do,&lt;br /&gt;when we’re apart, because your distance&lt;br /&gt;is so much more apparent, I’m unable&lt;br /&gt;to delude myself with your physical closeness.&lt;br /&gt;You’re not my fairy, that’s a lie,&lt;br /&gt;You were only mine when I hoped to pick you&lt;br /&gt;Up when your wings were broken,&lt;br /&gt;So that you may fly anew,&lt;br /&gt;And bless someone else with your presence,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Things like this I want to discuss in person.&lt;br /&gt;You keep pushing me away when I'm close and pulling me&lt;br /&gt;when I'm distant ... I'm trying to balance on that&lt;br /&gt;thin line where you want me but I'm afraid of falling,&lt;br /&gt;Because I’ve forgotten how to fly,&lt;br /&gt;I'm afraid of seeing your smile again,&lt;br /&gt;the way it lights the freckles of your face,&lt;br /&gt;the reminders of our physical attraction,&lt;br /&gt;poorly substituting our emotional deficit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;like the sunset carefully draping it's orange red&lt;br /&gt;cloak over the horizon, never meeting it but it&lt;br /&gt;tries anew. Every day.  Committing, romanticide.&lt;br /&gt;Our five year rift seperating,&lt;br /&gt;my yin from your yang,&lt;br /&gt;the way you marked bitterly Orpheus and Eurydice,&lt;br /&gt;how if you looked back,&lt;br /&gt;you realize we will not be ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unless you want me to, I won't leave you,&lt;br /&gt;Even if you ask me to, I’m frightened, I can’t.&lt;br /&gt;I’m frightened at something I don’t understand.&lt;br /&gt;But your heart is too good to request that of me,&lt;br /&gt;Your gentle smile pierces my cold façade,&lt;br /&gt;Even if I cross my arms to guard me,&lt;br /&gt;I feel naked before you, still, shivering cold.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;... I'm probably overanalyzing everything&lt;br /&gt;Like how your color, pink,&lt;br /&gt;is a combination of my red and white,&lt;br /&gt;I kissed you to sleep,&lt;br /&gt;while you waited for a prince to wake you,&lt;br /&gt;why you wonder why I'm such a prude,&lt;br /&gt;not realizing it's my response to our emotional distance ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; “Wrong", it's so subjective.&lt;br /&gt;my adherence to courtesy,&lt;br /&gt;it would be wrong for me to flee from you,&lt;br /&gt;but is it not wrong if we're standing&lt;br /&gt;on opposites ends of this broken bridge?&lt;br /&gt;Your ability to smile despite my resounding bitterness,&lt;br /&gt;The smile that carries the burdens of your life and mine,&lt;br /&gt;Your eyes that sees through to comfort me, by hearing me,&lt;br /&gt;Your good that shines through this life’s evil.  Mine.&lt;br /&gt;I had liked you the moment I met you, &lt;br /&gt;I had loved you the moment I knew you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you only knew what I knew,&lt;br /&gt;Why I OD on these tears during the night,&lt;br /&gt;I keep them hidden pushed behind my eyelids&lt;br /&gt;Now they drown me in my voice, choke me&lt;br /&gt;Slowly, my tears are killing me.&lt;br /&gt;But even then, you try so hard to comfort me,&lt;br /&gt;Can you not tell?  I don’t deserve it,&lt;br /&gt;If I take it, even after you forgive me,&lt;br /&gt;How can I forgive myself?  You’re trapped&lt;br /&gt;With me, in this web of romanticide …</content>

    <content type="html">Dear journal,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alright, so I haven't written for awhile.  There's this thing called, "lack of time".  No, that's more an excuse, it's more that I have an enormity of thoughts that putting them all on paper just will seem to take forever.  So I procrastinate.  Am I going to update with my current status?  Unlikely, I plan on signing off in a few minutes anyway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, I must profess one amusement.  People on internet forums and their "serious discussions".  Talk about facade and futile attempts at philosiphique, no?  Regard this latest question I read recently, "What is the meaning of life?"  Oh for fucks sake, you're joking on this one right?  What is the meaning of life?  Well I can tell you this much of a hint, most likely not on the internet forum.  While you all attempt to figure out why I find this not only pathetic but amusing at the same time, I will only assume you have the intellect to figure it out without me clarifying.  Till then, if you actually figure out the meaning of life, drop me a line.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Adieu</content>

    <content type="html">The first thought is the same as the last.  There is no difference between thoughts, all thoughts are one.  Should someone master one thought, he should master all.  If you know one person's true thought, you will know him.  Of course, to know the true thought, you must know the first.  To know the first is to know the last.  Think on the last thought and find it back at the first.  That is mastery.</content>

    <content type="html">I had aptly wondered where words came from,&lt;br /&gt;No hypothetical Muse in my thoughts,&lt;br /&gt;Dominated by emotions, guised by bitter-frost panes,&lt;br /&gt;Of ice.  Cold, bittersweet I gave birth to these thoughts,&lt;br /&gt;Writing, words that are like daggers in my thoughts,&lt;br /&gt;Sharp icy cold daggers.  Really they are,&lt;br /&gt;They are, probing on my retreat but I refuse,&lt;br /&gt;Like unwelcome guests, I saw only glimpses of them&lt;br /&gt;Distorted they may be by my past’s unwholesome dominances,&lt;br /&gt;Shut my door, I will allow them no further,&lt;br /&gt;Away with their false promises, words sweet poison,&lt;br /&gt;No!  Approach no further, this where I take my stand,&lt;br /&gt;Mistakes I’ve made but I repeat no longer by,&lt;br /&gt;Now!  My dominance, I herald with these word dripping&lt;br /&gt;Forth from my pen.  Wondering do you, what I keep?&lt;br /&gt;In behind these chained fences where I weave my …&lt;br /&gt;Bitter Winter.  Yes!  Slowly, I blow out the candles of&lt;br /&gt;These.  Those, those little wisps asking to be named emotions,&lt;br /&gt;Melting away, so I can laugh at vengeful neurosis.&lt;br /&gt;No more!  My lady and my sword!  This is my bitter Winter.&lt;br /&gt;Keep me frozen again with your sweet embrace …</content>

    <content type="html">There was a description lately, a word of how&lt;br /&gt;you make me feel as I talk to you.&lt;br /&gt;There was a certain tinge, and shiver as your letters of hot pink&lt;br /&gt;collides upon mine's of scarlet.  There, we had passed along thoughts&lt;br /&gt;of love, romance, sorrow, anger, frustration, emotional overdrive&lt;br /&gt;that you thought were too much to handle and I had not enough.&lt;br /&gt;Have we there lost our balance where I had placed you within&lt;br /&gt;my world, as the stars.  Yet you confuse me so with your wants,&lt;br /&gt;miscommunications between the pixels working together to form&lt;br /&gt;basic thoughts and expression we're shouting over each other.&lt;br /&gt;Something you whispered, I haven't heard apparent ...&lt;br /&gt;I dance upon polar opposites while you remain firm when&lt;br /&gt;our mind had differed, so our hearts collapse.&lt;br /&gt;For, I believed in the fire that ignites the sun while touching on the&lt;br /&gt;frost that the night chills.  But you have thought, that either moments,&lt;br /&gt;it was too scalding, my heart had been too hot, perhaps, you've heard&lt;br /&gt;the moments, I'm worshipping the pure moonlight wondering&lt;br /&gt;-273.15 Celsius froze my thoughts.  You sought to balance&lt;br /&gt;my temperament frivolous with a grasp of the earth.  While even in my&lt;br /&gt;most darkest recesses of angst, I'd wish to free you so we may fly ...&lt;br /&gt;Have us made things impossible between us, twas me&lt;br /&gt;that had shaken your world to have broken your heart.&lt;br /&gt;Twas you that had said no more, even though you still yet amaze&lt;br /&gt;me.  How do you keep me clinging ... when from the gentlest&lt;br /&gt;butterfly to the thunderous dragon, I've traced, I've yearned to fly.&lt;br /&gt;Ah yes, the description, the word of how I felt ...&lt;br /&gt;Why is it, you placed me ... under such - arrest?</content>

Spring was here!  It had announced,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had thrown open my window then to greet,&lt;br /&gt;Morning birds’ prattle tickled my ears,&lt;br /&gt;I filled my bosom with the first breath of air,&lt;br /&gt;Throwing the window open to peer outdoors,&lt;br /&gt;Spring was here!  Spring was here!  It had announced,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The gentle buzzing of bees against the garden,&lt;br /&gt;Symphony with the caressing whispers of the wind,&lt;br /&gt;The careful orchestra to chant the most innocent aria,&lt;br /&gt;To it danced colors against the tree’s blooming leaves,&lt;br /&gt;Spring was here!  Spring was here!  It had announced,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those days long past and gone collapsed,&lt;br /&gt;The leaves crumbled brown and crumbled,&lt;br /&gt;People wonder what was wrong with me,&lt;br /&gt;Enrapt by the gentle beauty of melodrama,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I answer simply, For happiness is but illusion, a fleeting dream,&lt;br /&gt;Sadness is eternal, truthful and lies not to me …</content>

    <content type="html">Because...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When seeing you makes me shy of thought,&lt;br /&gt;My mind goes blank when words becomes thoughts pretense.&lt;br /&gt;In which "et amour" and "au revoir" are caught.&lt;br /&gt;Playing the part; of a moth near light; too tense.&lt;br /&gt;Thoughts of you makes me nervous and so I hide,&lt;br /&gt;Sheltered within indifference and nonchalance like knives&lt;br /&gt;which carves those delicate wrists, blood flowing like ocean tides.&lt;br /&gt;I thirst for it, like those undying hungers for you...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes I have feigned smiles and kisses to drown hearts&lt;br /&gt;in sins.

    <content type="html">The cliffs.  I watched them clash against the waves, struggling.  It was futility.  The cliff will fall ... in time.  As do all things, even these waters, will fade … till they become tiny drops through evanescence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The sun was an ember-dimmed glow now.  Shadowing against the cliff, ominous, drenching it with its rust colored sweat.  The stones wears away, small grains, drop by drop against the bittersweet caress.  The horizon falls over the waters like morning dew.  It’s reflection glimmering against the rocks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And than there were the waves, foaming like rabid dogs.  Their attack was slow, torturously laboring away at their task, taunting.  They taunted me with their baits, teasing me with promises.  Even the sun’s grace against their skin ached my eyes should I stare too long on it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had no vertigo from my perch … that would require a fear of death.  No, I stood upon the salt-rimed rocks, awaiting it.  But the waves still deny me my release.  I shiver, racked by anxiety, pinpricks upon my skin, the wind was chilling my bones.  But still I waited … the waves will come …</content>
