How to Tie a Tie

I don't know if there is any one way to explain how to tie a tie because there are so many different ways to tie one.

This is how you apparently tie the "simple knot" which I know how to do, but it looks like crap so I don't use that knot.

I'm not going to explain how to tie this knot because there's a picture to show you but I will tell you that the more you tie it, the better you will get at it.

I guess that last statement is true about a lot of things in life. The more that you do something the better you get at it. 

I'm not saying that practice will make perfect but it will definately help you improve, so practice tieing a tie, and more importantly practice what you love to do and become great at it.

I WAS WRONG ABOUT POETRY

This is an apology to poetry.  I'm sorry I said that I didn't like you.  I was just scared and didn't know what to say.  I hope you can forgive me and give me a second chance.

Big comfy chairs are too mainstream, so I set up a chair for all the hipsters

Falling Truth

Have you ever been with someone and started to love that person for how they make you feel inside? Not for how they look or act but for how they treat you and others? For how they make you happy just by smiling at you? And not for their kisses or for the things you get by being with them? Have you ever started to fall for someone because of the words they feel and not because of the words they say? 

I think I'm beginning to...and I really love it.

Jealous Much?

Robert Frost said that he took the path less traveled...why?  Why would he take the one that is less traveled and probably harder?  I don't really know the answer to that question but it makes me wonder what type of man he was.  Probably brave and strong.  And he probably didn't mind doing a difficult task. I think that he was good man, humble and willing,  It makes me want to be like him.  Courageous, humble, firm, undaunted...all the things that I'm not, but hope to be someday.  It makes me jealous.  I'm pretty sure that jealousy is a negative emotion, but I can't help but feel that it has the potential to make us great.  It gives us a drive and a motive to go after something that could be wonderful or not.  In my case I think its good.  My jealousy makes me want to be better.  Not to impress other, but to help others and not to be better than anyone, but to thank them for helping me along the way.  I am jealous, not of other people, but of what I have the potential to become.  And that's who I strive to be.

How to Cry

Step One

Bottle up all pain that you feel and hold it in for as long as you possibly can.

Step Two

When your bottle can hold any more pain, uncap it.

It feels so good to let all the pain flow out through the purest and simplest way humanly possible...        a tear.

Moon

I've always thought that the moon is beautiful.  I used to watch it from my bed room window when I couldn't sleep.  It just seemed to calm me and loved the feeling of peace that it gave me.  I love how it looks, I love the faint glow it gives during the night, and how pure and white it looks in the black sky.  But I've always wondered how something so majestic could be so far away.  It makes me envious that it can show its beauty from so far away.  I also wonder what the moon is.  Scientist say that its just a gray rock that orbits our planet, but I want to believe that it's more that.  I want to believe that man never stepped foot on the moon.  That man never tainted its radiance by stepping on it.  I want to believe that it's not just a rock, but that its brilliance comes from within it and that it's alive.  I want to believe that I might be able to walk on it someday, but I wonder what I would think if I did.  I'm scared that if I walk on it I might discover that it's just a bare, gray rock floating in the middle of no where.
