Who I Am Hates Who I've Been
I watched the proverbial sunrise Coming up over the Pacific and You might think I’m losing my mind, But I will shy away from the specifics… ‘cause I don’t want you to know where I am ‘cause then you’ll see my heart In the saddest state it’s ever been. This is no place to try and live my life. [Pre-Chorus] Stop right there. That’s exactly where I lost...
Lucy
Hey Lucy, I remember your name I left a dozen roses on your grave today I’m in the grass on my knees, wipe the leaves away I just came to talk for a while, got some things I need to say Now that it’s over, I just wanna hold her I’d give up all the world to see That little piece of Heaven looking back at me Now that it’s over, I just wanna hold her I’ve gotta live with...
Day 1- Something You're Terrified Of
Bungee jumping. Dear lord it scares the piss out of me. I mean I’d go sky-diving ANY day. But bungee jumping? Eff no. Now you might say that this makes absolutely no sense. Which it really doesn’t unless I try and explain myself. Hell, even then I sound like a moron.
If my parachute didn’t open whilst sky-diving, I’d careen down towards the earth for a while before...
A Different 30 Day Challenge
Alright. By now, you’ve all seen those lame 30 day challenges that no one really goes all the way to the end on. I think it’s mainly because they’re too easy. They don’t provoke any thought beyond basic things. I decided that if this 30 day challenge nonsense is going to be useful, why not make the tasks actually kind of difficult or at least take more than fifteen...
Those Nights
I’m going to also start uploading a song of the day with a random story about why I’m picking it. So here’s todays.
I remember when we used to laugh about nothing at all It was better than going mad From trying to solve all the problems we’re going through Forget ‘em all Cause on those nights we would stand and never fall Together we faced it all Remember when...

A Homeless Man Tried to Steal My Guitar
I’ve decided to begin posting random stories from my life on here instead of just rants. Simply because I have some fun stories. I’m also going to try and put up a substantial post at least once a week just because.
So today’s story happen back in October of ‘09 in downtown. I was there with my then girlfriend headed to a vintage guitar shop. A friend of mine had...
I Wrote an Essay
I write a lot of them. Hell, sometimes I’m paid to write them. But don’t tell anybody because that’s a secret. I love writing essays simply because I have a deep fondness for writing and view myself as rather proficient at doing so. But every now and then, I pen an essay that even I have to stop and say, “way to go, T_Hark.” One such example is the first essay I...
“A developed and strong imagination does not make you a daydreamer and...”
– My freaking Visual Arts textbook.
Spell Check
I write all my notes for my classes on my computer. As a general rule, this works out just fine. When it doesn’t though, is for my Anatomy and Physiology 2 class. Why? Because every freaking time I write a sentence, at least half of the terms in it piss off my spell-check. Sometimes the auto-correct kicks in and really drives me crazy.
Point of this? I need a science friendly spell...
Letting Go
Before I moved out here, I was a drastically different person. That part of my past was colored in darkness and truly terrible things. I used people, mistreated them and abused friendships in pretty much every way I could imagine. In short, I was a bit of a dick who deserved to be left alone and ditched by everyone in my life. But, I hit a point where I realized what I was doing and realized...
Something I was Told
When I graduated, like most people, I had a board at my party. On this board was a photo of me in the middle and a bunch of white space. In this white space, my friends and family were able to write whatever they wanted. Little bits of encouragement or congratulations were what was generally written. Simple things such as, “best of luck, T_Hark. I am so proud of you” or...
Day 27: A problem I've had
I have extreme difficulty seeing projects through to the very end. I’ll plan them out to excessive degrees and then suddenly I’ll ditch them. Examples include every story I’ve ever started (save this most recent one that I finally finished after 9 years) or learning to play guitar. I’ve started so many things like that ,get a little ways in and move to something else. I...
Day 26: What kind of person attracts you
Let’s bullet this to make it awesome.
Intelligence is a freaking must. I’m a huge fan of intelligent conversations (even if I don’t always act smart myself) and love getting into deep discussions about really anything that comes to mind.
I play video games. A rather large amount when I’m not busy working. So to be completely annoyed at my gamer side just will not fly.

Day 22: Changes in the last 2 years
Holy hell. Where do I even begin? I suppose we can just look at where I was two years ago, then where I am right now and compare notes.
So two years ago I was preparing to move from Albuquerque where I had been living a…ah…rough and tumble sort of life to Tennessee. I had done everything I wanted, manipulated those I chose and generally was an asshole all around. Deciding moving...
Day 21: Favorite shows
Yes…I’ve missed some days. No, I’m probably not going to catch up on them.
My favorite tv show? Well…I really only watch two. But those are: Castle and Burn Notice. Both please my soul to extreme lengths. I wish I could watch Psych and Dexter more often, but as I’m never freaking home that is rather difficult.

Down and Out
I’m comin’ up for air so I can Check myself again and I stand Proven to the man but sheltered Confidence we tend to (shove in) Unexpected hunger traps me Just shut up and stand beside me I don’t need your understanding I don’t need to change a damn thing And though I’m used to have you here It does not change the man I was When you found me and there was no one else...
Looking Back
For a few days now I’ve been crashing in Charleston at a good friend’s parents’ house. I don’t know a soul out here and I’ve never been before this trip, meaning my life was left completely behind after that nine hour drive. If there’s one thing it made me realize is how incredible it is to just leave the world you’re trapped in sometimes. Especially...
