unrequited friendship.

You really are the worst person to talk to when I’m feeling down. You might as well act like you aren’t around. I try to complain and vent about my life. But all you can talk about is all your strife. Is this what friendship is to you? Why aren’t you there when I need you too? Why do I receive your consistent complaints. Yet when I need something I have to wait. I’m...

Watch

tourloko: VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED: Do not watch if you are allergic to big deals. This is me beating Jason Kapono, the NBA’s most accurate three point shooter, in a game of P.I.G. Also included is a heroic answer from John to Spencer Hawes’ long shot. We met Spencer and Jason on the first day of the trip and saw their team (the 76ers) beat the Suns last night. They turned out to be super good...

i guess sometimes there is a reason why people come back into your life and i find comfort with that. i appreciate when people make an effort, when people try and try to show they care. that is something i will always value. as long as you are willing to make the effort, i am too. i’m not ready to throw away any relationship. i just can’t. just please don’t let me down again.

I thought I was over it. I really did. But then, in the snap of a finger, I became that insecure 16 year old again. It kills me that it essentially broke my heart in so many ways. And it also kills me that it broke so many things and they have never been able to fully repair again. i can’t think about any of it without a flood of sadness. it’s time to move on, it really truly is. i...

one forty plus: Tour Loko →

jhnmyr: Back in October, my friend Ricky Van Veen and I began to bounce around ideas for how to go about celebrating New Year’s Eve. In comparing our respective life experiences, we decided that we’d both had our fill of prefabricated tropical getaways. Instead, we would plan our own itinerary from the ground up; one that would take us through the Southwest United States on a tour bus. Many...

Book suggestions?

I am thinking of starting a book club of some sort. It’s so hard to read during the semester but it’s even harder to find something to read. Does anyone have any suggestions? I’m open to anything and everything! Ps. I just finished “Firefly Lane” by Kristin Hannah. I would definitely recommend it for anyone in pursuit of a good read!

Sometimes you crawl Sometimes you don’t even move at all Sometimes you pray Sometimes you don’t have the words to say Drop your baggage on my front door You don’t have to carry it alone anymore ‘Cause tonight ain’t the end of the story Just keep turning the page Don’t give into the heartache Don’t give into the pain This world will turn your way Baby one of these days This world will turn your...

Do I Know You?

Marshall: She's never seen Star Wars? Ted the only people in the universe who have never seen Star Wars are the characters in Star Wars and that's cause they lived them Ted, that's cause they lived the Star Wars. 
Ted: You've gotta calm down. 
Marshall: I told you. I told you that you don't know this girl well enough. What if you show it to her and she doesn't like it? 
Ted: Dude, it's just a movie. 
Marshall: Ted, Star Wars is your all time favorite movie, and whether or not Stella actually likes it is really important. Its like a test of how compatible you guys are. 
Ted: Marshall, its just a movie. 
Marshall: Ha. 
Ted: Its just a movie. 
Ted: Ok, if Stella doesn't like this movie, I can't marry her. 
Marshall: No, you can't. 
Ted: Wanna watch it again? 
Marshall: Yes I do.

I’m 19 years old and my life has become a routine that I cannot break. I wake up early every morning and go to work. I stay there for 9 hours then I drive home. Once I get home, I eat dinner. Watch a few tv shows. Read my book and go to bed. Then I restart in the morning. Sure, I should be lucky that I have the opportunity to work to make up for the money I’ve blown this semester. But at the same...

My heart goes out to any person who has ever been involved in an abusive relationship. Nobody deserves that. Also, I applaud those who can courageously escape them and keep their confidence and maturity. Especially when kids are involved. They are truly people to be idolized. My heart and respect goes out to those parents who suffer but escape an unsafe environment and keep their children safe...
