To improve myself,
I need to data collect,
And be nice, caution.

You may be confused,
But I understand clearly.
You may never know.

If I lose the love,
How can I participate?
It is only love.

I'm not sure how long,
This will last, but it won't be,
forever. Time heals.

Ignorance

Some people from Latvia have been checking this Blog in the past month. I say thank you. However I know little to nothing about your country. Which is sad to me, I wish to know more, but I can say that your largest city of Riga and it's 2.2 million population (according to the almighty Wikipedia) is larger than the entire State of Maine. So kudos to you! Also you have a lot of municipalities...

For Boredom

"...You can count me out/in..."

Alright, football. I'm officially pissed. Testing my convictions. You took long enough with this "lockout" business, so I decided to not watch your games in response. Sorry nine billion dollars, which the fans help make possible, and you didn't really give back. Oh sure, you do community work, which I'm thankful for, and the communities you assist are as well. Props too to Robert Kraft for pulling up his big boy pants and "semi-crossing the aisle" to get a deal done. But with the way the New England Patriots are playing is torture for me not getting to watch it. They're going to outdo their 2007 season, and damnit I want to see it! That being said, I will not watch it until their in the Super Bowl. Maybe I'll weaken my resolve and submit to the AFC Championship game, but as of right now only the Super Bowl. Which I see them actually winning.
In respect to how well the Patriots are playing. Look at the stat lines. Sure the opposing teams are "lighting up" the secondary, but is that actually the real picture? Rivers is a high quality Quarterback in the league and he was intercepted twice, sacked twice, and fumbled once. The Chargers also had to play catch up with the Patriots to the tune of 423 passing yards from Brady and a final score of 35-21. So this looks more like running for the Chargers wasn't getting it done. I could be skewering the stats, but the Chargers are a good team and the Pats beat them like Miami (also a good team).
Anyway my point is that the Patriots are well on their way to setting even more records (almost 1000 passing yards going into week 3?!?!) and a defense that is going to keep getting better with 6 sacks and 5 turnovers in two games. Sure there are spots that could use improvement, always, but geez they're showing up to play.

Haiku

Deception and lies.
Do we truly know ourselves.
Seek out your own peace.

5 AM

Creative title no?

We move in our own ways, pressed against a window pane.
I still remember the first time I laid eyes on you.
A blurry picture that I couldn't make out.
Taking an inward breath,
I try to find something invisible.
Something I can't quite make out.
This something is a lost piece of me.
Something from long ago.
Is it a flower in the desert sand?
Or a towering mountain, majestic and stoic?
Maybe it is that single moth fluttering about trying to stay aloft.
This is something I may not know.

A crash,
A sound broken throughout time.
Our inner depths become questioned.
Now I see clearly.
Now I smell clearly.
I can taste the air.
I have been set free.
Free to take to the sky.
Free to swim the darkest caverns.
Where only our dreams await.
This will be something, for I am not deterred.

I will build monuments,
And cathedrals in your visage.
I will praise your name in the holiest of passages.
I will sing and rejoice your spirit.

I am safe in your arms.
I know which path is the brightest.
I take the path that leads me to you.

You who do not abandon.
You can only answer the what.
You, when they speak of you,
They speak from the heart.
You, where you await us all in the shining land.
You of all the ones I await, I seek, why?

A dog biscuit indeed.

Secrets

We keep them in our minds.
We keep them in our hearts.
This word that drives nations.

What is my secret?
Is it a plethora of things?
Or one big thing?

Would people be shocked to go through my things?
Would people be shocked to go through yours?
Some people would be shocked by some of my things,
others would not.

I will ride into the darkness,
But I fear the unknown.
I may need a light.

More theory:

Why do we wonder where our priorities lie?
I face my friends, my family.
This will not be complete if we stand at odds.
I will borrow a phrase from Jackson Browne.
Because there are "Lives in the Balance".

Some theory:

There shall be a connection.

A connection so deep it cannot be broken no matter the trial.

I cannot express the uniqueness of individuality.

There is no path, for you are the drummer, and have yet to blaze it.

There is tension in your mind.

A symptom of our world, a world of suffering, let us all take it in stride and with a smile on our faces.

Exercise is not just a word.

Physical activity is the world, and we should all strive for our best.

Games are not just recreation.

They fill us with child like wonder and joy, and help us relax, by escaping to new worlds.

Sex is a part of life.

Sexual intimacy is a part of what it means to be human, embrace it healthily and fully.

Perfection is in imperfection.

Enjoy the fullness of life in all its broken glory.

People are the spice of life.

Without them there would be no world to enjoy, no matter what they may say or do.

Titles are frivolous.

Although some titles help us identify our perceptions.

This is my adventure.

Perhaps we can combine ours, and create a super adventure?
