This is my Temporary Home, it’s not where I belong ♥ December 1, 2010

When times were tough, I found a way

to bury my feelings with nothing to say.

But now that I’m older, I now understand

That these are the cards I hold in my hand.

No college degree could get me away

from the home that I hate, so I have to stay.

The cold wintry weather doesn’t compare,

and I’m starting to think it’s just not fair.

I thought at this point I’d be having fun

but all I do is feel and run.

But all I can do is hope for better,

Just for now, in December.

 

It’s been a while. And I hope to update more often considering I feel more now that I am home. I’m having a hard time adjusting to life after graduation. I always thought I’d have a full-time job that I loved, a place of my own, and moving on with my life instead of staying still. Instead, I have my old room, my old rules, and the same old arguments with my parents. But like I said… I’m just hoping for better this December. What are you hoping for? Thoughts?

 

 

 

 

They Call Me Her; They Call Me Jane; That’s Not My Name ♥ September 23, 2009

It all started with Puff Daddy. He was one of many that could not decide what exactly he wanted to be called. It went from Puff Daddy to P. Diddy to Sean Combs… what’s it going to be?

I once knew this lady who had a son, and at the time he was probably about 14 years old and his name was Timothy. At a family party, she actually made him wear a shirt that said my name is Timothy, not Tim or Timmy. Like who cares? Nicknames, new names, what’s the point?

Well with many of my roommate’s love escapades, her well.. ex boyfriend, decided to drop the last letter of his first name. Like what? You think you’re better than everyone else? It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Maybe it was a disguise, a way to make himself feel better as if he became a new person, because I’ll tell you, the first person he was… was a winner!

So when I hear this “That’s Not My Name” by the Ting Tings, it just makes me giggle because I can’t wait for the day where you go up to someone and you address them as the person you once knew them as and now they’re someone completely different. It happens everday doesn’t it? That someone you thought was your friend isn’t, or someone you may have had a foul first impression of turned out not to be too shabby… well lets just add to the 21st century lingo. Get use to it kids, next thing you know, you’ll be like “Hey _____ ” and they’ll just simply reply, that’s not my name. What a headache.
