Silence

There are times
When silence is the loudest
A question asked
with no answer
But
The lack of words
speaks volumes more than words ever could
The mystery of silence
A cold case

TIME

People say life is short.
I say I have a long life ahead of me.
Dreams I haven't dreamt yet.
Hidden goals I have yet to fulfill.
NOW is looking straight at me.
THEN is only a reflection.
Time.
That's all it takes.

Gone For Now. Not Forever, Technically.

I should be in bed, but my procrastination keeps me from it once again. At least I'm busting my butt to get this outline straight. Mom sent me pictures of some of the Arthurs for my speech on cancer prevention. I don't think about Bops' death very often, but every time I do, I reach the brink of tears or even a small cry session. Mainly, I'm smiling while I reminisce, thinking of the great times I had with him. But the tears come from the utter sadness associated with those times being over. Forever. At least, here on Earth if you want me to get technical. I wasn't very close to Grandma Mary, but i see it in my Dad's eyes that he really misses her. He doesn't cry. Ever. But the one time I saw him cry, made me cry seeing his mortal emotions. Seeing my hero and easily the favorite relative of my friends. I'm rambling now and getting too mushy, so I'll stop. Back to the outline! I hope Bops and Grandma Mary are partyin' it up in heaven right now! And maybe Aunt Jojo will stop by and play a few rounds of Bridge (because that's what old people do right?)

Been Thinking Alot Today.

Racism will never end.
It's sickening.
Stereotypes are stereotypes for a reason.
People often fight to protect or stand up for themselves.
Tearing the pages of a book out because of an ugly cover serves no justice.
If one race is satisfied, the other feels wronged.
And the vicious cycle continues.
Eternally.

To Catch a Predator

It's Saturday, all the roommates are gone, and I have nothing to do. Life is good! I'm watching "To Catch a Predator" right now and it never ceases to amaze. It's sad to think that I am among people everyday who are like this and you would never know it. The funny thing is, the smartest and most cunning people often turn out to be criminals. BTK, Ted Bundy, Adolf Hitler, and Jeffrey Dahmer were all extremely smart men who used it to brainwash lure others into a false sense of security to fulfill their insatiable hunger for power and dominance. On a lighter note, Chris Hansen is the man!
