as the world turns

I haven't really written anything in this blog for months, and I almost couldn't remember my password. If I had to put a reason for why I haven't been writing (and I just made myself realize that there hasn't exactly been a clamor for my return), I'd have to put two reasons why:

1. I can't figure out how to write how I feel without thinking about it too much.
2. Antidepressants.

I'm going to have to deal with the former, and have stopped taking the latter, so maybe I will be able to sit down and write and not censor myself too much, but censor myself just enough. I need to figure out what else to write about, you are probably saying to yourself, but I haven't quite finished with ME as a topic yet, so there's more of that to come, I'm afraid.

Anyway. It's the end of summer--don't ask me where summer went because to my mind it should still be May. It's going to rain all weekend, which is fine by me. There may or may not be a hurricane coming up the coast (I vote for NOT), and it is cool and breezy and cloudy and damp outside the house. I can hear the wind chimes. Inside the house, in this room anyway, it smells like cigarettes for some reason, which is odd since nobody who lives here smokes.

I just got back from the dentist: I had a crown put on a tooth. Holy SHIT, what a miserable experience. It was like chewing tinfoil, and as soon as I got home I took three Advil with a glass of shiraz. I'm not supposed to eat for two hours, which is a shame since I'm starving, but my tooth hurts too much to bite down on it anyway so whatever.

Okay, so since I haven't eaten anything the wine has gone straight to my head and now I have nothing to say. But at least I'm putting nothing down on ... well ... not "paper," but ... you get the idea. So perhaps I'm starting up again. We'll see.

makes me wonder why we need a place called hell

It starts with just a little glance now
Right away you're thinkin' 'bout romance now
You know you ought to take it slower
But you just can't wait to get to know her

A brand new love affair is such a beautiful thing
But if you're not careful think about the pain it can bring

It makes you feel so bad
It makes your heart feel sad
It makes your days go wrong
It makes your nights so long

You've got to keep in mind love is here today
And it's gone tomorrow
It's here and gone so fast

Right now you think that she's perfection
This time is really an exception
Well you know I hate to be a downer
But I'm the guy she left before you found her

Well I'm not saying you won't have a good love with her
But I keep on remembering things like they were

She made me feel so bad
She made my heart feel sad
She made my days go wrong
And made my nights so long

You've got to keep in mind love is here today
And it's gone tomorrow
It's here and gone so fast

Keep in mind love is here today
And it's gone tomorrow
It's here and gone so fast

Love is here today
And it's gone tomorrow
It's here and gone so fast
