Depressive writing

I remember that all my first writings when I was around 13 or 14 had a depressive theme. It was mostly confusion, deception and disappointment in everything and everybody. It was some kind of nostalgia for those days in which things were simpler. You just weren't THAT aware of your surroundings, and... Sign in to see full entry.

That smart, talented and successful person next door

Ever since high school she was the one that got the higher grades without much effort. They all said she was 'special' with an IQ higher that 180. I've always admired her. Mostly, she dedicated her free time to party, go out, have fun in life and jump from boyfriend to boyfriend. Her drama queen... Sign in to see full entry.

My cat says 'hi' to you bloggers

As he is now fully healed from his wounds. Now he's back to 'look at me, I'm the sexiest male that any female companion of my species will ever find' mode. And I'm like: "yeah right, stop bluffing." Thus he gives me this sorta look: Sign in to see full entry.

Some thoughts on being friends with a fanboy/girl

(AKA the self - double standard of geeks). This idea crossed my mind when I was in some sort of slump yesterday. Answer these questions in all honesty: -Would you really be friends with someone who doesn’t get out much, and therefore his/her social life is almost non-existent? -What about an...

Anatomy of pain (chain of thought)

We go through our lives avoiding it, rejecting it, even despising it. But you just can't understand how some people embrace it. Are they crazy or something? They have accepted it as part of their lives, even if it had taken over during the most part. At first, it would seem illogical, but these... Sign in to see full entry.

Is there anyone or anything that inspired you to write?

We all know life is a journey. Given that we’re not born alone, we meet many people along our way beside our parents, our siblings, our cousins and other relatives. With time, you create a bond with that special friend that can strengthen itself depending on how many situations and circumstances did... Sign in to see full entry.

Writing as a therapy for the soul

How do you deal with someone that you know that is probably mentally ill? I don’t know what to think right now. My parents had a nasty breakdown yesterday; I won’t go into many details because it’s too painful right now. For years, I thought that the real problem was my dad because he allegedly has...

Have you ever found obscene language appealing?

Erm, don’t get me wrong. I’ve always thought that there could be this aesthetical appeal to it. From a visual standpoint, it could be interesting. I’m going to take this as an example: This is the rant of the typical Spider-man fanboy at Aintitcoolnews.com that is pissed over something that actress... Sign in to see full entry.

Does inner peace guarantee good writing?

So much has been said about what real happiness is and it has mostly been associated with possessions, not only of all things material like money, Real Estate, technological gadgets, etc, but also of a certain 'status': -Graduated with honors at the best quality college. -The best job with the best...

A bit of my fangirl/geek side

Has something extremely exciting happened to you that somehow hindered you from writing lately? Not that it happened to me, but... Right, who am I kidding LOL? If it really hasn't happened to me I wouldn't be telling you about it. Ok, so it can be really geeky, but as a fellow Smallville/Superman... Sign in to see full entry.
