A lot of you may remember me mostly for one of two reasons. My ignorant yet passionate rants on religion or my blog on my autistic brother, my complete stranger. Unfortunately, I didn't have the ability to write on anything else so I wrote on those two since they in general attracted a lot of attention. I am glad that by now, I have a lot more to say. A lot has happened since then. Read More »

Instigating, hating, intimidating...story of the life lived.
As I try to hold on...I keep spreading the black hate that consumes.
Changing isn’t changing, the circle rounds itself.
The hate comes back to haunt, and as I try to breathe on,
The cycle starts over again.

This is for me.
It’s time for me to let it all go. Read More »

By k.moore - Posted on April 1st, 2008
As my boyfriend and I were eating breakfast at a restaurant not too long ago, there sat an old couple at the table next to us. As we were leaving, I took a moment to glance at them - the clothes they were wearing, the conversation they were engaged in. I have always been fascinated by the places life can take an individual, and how each person’s life is different. Read More »
What's Wrong With Driving?
By sambgood - Posted on October 17th, 2007
I want to get into my car and drive.
I have no idea where to. Honestly, I don't care. As long as it's not to work or school or home, I think I'll be content. Buildings now sicken me. Closed spaces, artificial light, commercial air--I find myself being instead of living. Read More »
