Life in the Red

Anonymous asked: Why are you rude and don't acknowledge when people tweet you?

I blame it on a really crappy twitter app that doesn’t push notifications to me on a real time basis. I will try to get better at it, and to be quite honest I never imagined anyone truly caring about what I have to say. I apologize. : )

My “You”

agirlnamedcharli:

you inspire me
to find words in the
brokenness

in the nothing you left behind
in the absence of evidence
that we ever existed

you inspire me
to fall away from who i was

from the established bed
from my home

you inspire me
to dash t’s and dot i’s

and pour my useless love
onto endless pages
and dry the tears you
never cried.

The Dating Game

How do you play it?

If I know one thing, it comes entirely down to the person. I used to think the position a man held really decided what kind of man he would be. I have dated them all… grads, undergrads, a party promoter, lawyer, musician (lead of course), an army guy, audio engineer, a Betsey Johnson model, and even an “up-and-coming” pornstar (that’s an overstatement). 

Ladies and gentlemen trust me when I say: I AM NOT BRAGGING. All of those previously mentioned were a complete and utter failure. Well… I’m friends with a couple of them, some I still care about, some I ignore, some of them ignore me, and there’s one I wouldn’t spit on if he were on fire. 

I’m also coming to terms with what I’m wildly attracted to… two shades from cray, wild, self-destructive, always confident, and always down to socialize. In other words I’m attracted to myself!

Time out! It’s always good to sit on the bench for a minute to improve your strategy, talk shit in the dugout with the boys, or get ready for round two in the ring. I know nothing about sports. You get my point, girls!  

I’m blowing my whistle, walking off the field, and taking some time to figure out my next play. Knowing my history, I’ll have a new boyfriend before you finish reading this sentence. 

Hut Hut Hut! ; )

Anonymous asked: Hmmm no recent posts. Perhaps you have started dating someone. This usually occurs in friendships too when one friend starts dating some and pulls away from the group.

You’re good. However, me and that person are no longer dating… back to the writing, it is. I might actually right about that very brief dating experience.
