“This is an amazing opportunity. Why aren’t you taking it?”
“Because it means I can’t be with you, and you are the most important thing in my life. Besides I can compose anywhere.”
“Yes, but this opportunity isn’t anywhere, it’s in LA.”
“It means that I have to be away from you for two or more years, so I am not going to take it.”
“Your music has really taken off here, but it’s time to move onto the next step. You’re not going to get anywhere in the Bay Area.”
“Look: you are all I need, I don’t need this program. So let’s just lea

The Impact of Small Stories
The memories I have of my mom during my first half of grade school are dominated by her entangled in the sheets of the huge bed that she shared with no one except for me when a night terror struck. In that bed she would sleep, or sob, or blankly stare at the cop drama that played on the TV; at that time in our lives she was an insufficiently treated suicidal manic bipolar depressant. To my recollection during her “dark days”, which that time period is now referred to in my family, she was mostly nonfunctional, which just meant that she stayed imprisoned in those sheets; however, sometimes she would be functional and would come dow

A Pokemon Microstory
There once was a man named Geoff, who owned and trained Geodudes. Because "geo". Once day Geoff brought his team of Geodudes to the water gym and kept losing. He didn't know why. The old lady in the house next door said, "Its because rock sucks balls against water." So Geoff went off and got a Ponyta. Which was quite a mystery since there were no fire pokemon around the gym to catch, so no one new where the hell he got it. So he went back into the gym with his team of Ponyta and Geodudes and lost again. He asked the gym leader why he lost and he said, "Its because fire and rock are my bitch, stupid."

Valentino: a Sonnet
His strong body and kind eyes will forever be tattooed onto the back of my eyelids
His natural movement has infused itself into the life sustaining beat of my heart
The way he maneuvers through every obstacle presented makes everything as simple as a grid
The love between the two of us is intense enough to make a still beat restart
Thick golden ropes of trust bind us together in an inseparable pair
For not even a handsome and lusty boy can worm his way in between us
Speed is pumped through his muscular legs which allow the two of us to fly into the air
Others stop and ask me why I pour all of my time into him thus
Every time I try to explain

Home and Heart's with the Horse
I pushed my large steed into an extended stride, the thunder under us became louder and the rolls further apart. The log came in front of us, as I pulled up my body he balanced his power onto his back legs. We soared over the log effortlessly, landing lightly on the other side and I ushered him forward along the long side of the fence line. Valentino and I had done it; we had out run the wind, pride and confidence swelled in our entire being. He came to a walk the second I tightened my abs and thighs, I collapsed onto his neck rubbing it enthusiastically while singing praises into his ear. “Good job Katie; Valentino has a lot of confide
Four long years ago,
That is the last
Time I saw your
Familiar and handsome face.
Four very long years,
Since I last heard
Your smooth calming voice.
I heard it again.
Four grueling long years,
But today as your
Greatest fear stood with
Me on his back,
Despite four long years,
I was able to
Hear it again. Reciting
Its simply motivational maxim:
"I know you have it in you."
With new found heart
I seize the reins.
I take in my
Deep breaths and stop.
With two unexpected rears
The four long years
Came rushing back ensconced
It those seven words.
"I know you have it in you."
That one of a
Kind voice that moves
Me to tears of
Joy and ex
Not a lot of people know my story, so consider yourself privileged to hear it. Or unfortunate, for I have been told that my life up to this point has been heartbreaking and inhumane. Although for me I just consider my life, it has happened and now it's trapped in the past. Nevertheless my story starts identical to everyone else's; with my parents.
The air was always thick with this hypnotic smoke up in my old and musty environment. The effect on me was much like the effect on bees when they are smoked out of their hive; I slowly stumbled about the rough and splintered floor. At some points the smoke was so thick that I couldn't see more than
Tick. Tick. Tick.
Interminable
Never ending
Always present
Tick. Tick. Tick.
The hands keep circling
The gears keep turning
The noise still sounds
Its ceaseless syllable yells
Tick. Tick. Tick.
The white face bright
On my tired eyelids
The black numbers smirking
At the lost moments
Tick. Tick. Tick.
The clock running my
Life always depending on
Its position and what
Action's at that time
Tick. Tick. Tick.
Controlled by a simple
Machine that is nothing
More than metal and
Springs that proves harsh
Tick. Tick. Tick.
Now what if the
Clock is stopped cold?
What beat would conduct
My directionless life blood?
Tick.
Chain link .? Why did this rumored high security hell hole have chain link? The orange letter blared loudly against their black back ground. Not once have I ever taken the instructions "No Trespassing" seriously. Today will be no exception. I swipe at the cold sweat under my bangs and wiped my now moist hands on my jean's legs. I wedge the toe of my riding boot into one of the silver rhombuses, laced my fingers into two more and heaved up, quickly putting my other boot into a small space. Free my hands from a wire crossing and place it higher, free the feet and place bring them up. I go like that for twenty feet before reaching the barbe
