I am twenty three years young, I have been writing since September 26th, 2006. I love writing, and everything that entails. I can't stop, and I never will. I love reading new stuff. I am here to grow as a writer, to learn, and maybe...MAYBE even offer something to all of you.



RIP Sean Taylor
1983 - 2007

"Let he who is without sin cast the first stone."
- Jesus of Nazareth


“Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.”
- St. Matthew


"I don't know what I may seem to the world, but as to myself, I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the sea-shore and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me."
- Sir Isaac Newton


"For there is such a difference between the way men live and they way they ought to live, that anybody who abandons what is for what ought to be will learn something that will ruin rather than preserve him, because anyone who determines to act in all circumstances the part of a good man must come to ruin among so many who are not good.."
- Niccolo Machiavelli


“I have never thought of writing for reputation and honor. What I have in my heart must come out; that is the reason why I compose.”
- Ludwig van Beethoven


"A poem is an echo, asking a shadow to dance."
- Carl Sandburg


"Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson


"The difference between the right word and the nearly right word is the difference between lightning and the lightning bug."
- Mark Twain


“In the highest civilization, the book is still the highest delight. He who has once known its satisfactions is provided with a resource against calamity.”
- Ralph Waldo Emerson


"In criticism I will be bold, and as sternly, absolutely just with friend and foe. From this purpose nothing shall turn me."
- Edgar Allen Poe


"Poetry is the rhythmical creation of beauty in words."
- Edgar Allen Poe


"A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness."
- Robert Frost


"Writing free verse is like playing tennis with the net down."
- Robert Frost


"No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader. No surprise in the writer, no surprise in the reader."
- Robert Frost


“Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.”
- Robert Frost


"The Poet makes himself a seer by a long, vast and reasoned derangement of the senses - every form of love, of suffering, of madness."
- Arthur Rimbaud


"Poetry is more philosophical and of higher value than history; for poetry tends to express the universal, history the particular."
- Aristotle


"Not all who wander are lost."
- J.R.R. Tolkien


“You have to know how to accept rejection and reject acceptance.”
- Ray Bradbury


“Don’t be afraid to be what you say and say what you are, because those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind.”
- Dr. Suess


"This is the true measure of love: When we believe that we alone can love, that no one could ever have loved so before us, and that no one will ever love in the same way after us"
- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe


“Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire, you will what you imagine and at last you create what you will.”
- George Bernard Shaw


“You see things; and you say, 'Why?' But I dream things that never were; and I say, "Why not?”
- George Bernard Shaw


“Prohibition will work great injury to the cause of temperance. It is a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A Prohibitory law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded.”
- Abraham Lincoln


"Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power."
- Abraham Lincoln


"Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just."
- Thomas Jefferson


“Don’t be afraid to be what you say and say what you are, because those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind.”
- C.S. Lewis


"An 'impersonal God'-- well and good.A subjective God of beauty, truth and goodness, inside our own heads -- better still. A formless life-force surging through us, a vast power which we can tap -- best of all. But God Himself, alive, pulling at the other end of the cord, perhaps, approaching an infinite speed, the hunter, king, husband -- that is quite another matter. There comes a moment when the children who have been playing at burglars hush suddenly: was that a real footstep in the hall? There comes a moment when people who have been dabbling in religion ('Man's search for God!') suddenly draw back. Supposing we really found Him? We never meant it to come to that! Worse still, supposing He had found us?"
- C.S. Lewis


“He who joyfully marches to music rank and file, has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action. It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder.”
- Albert Einstein


“Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence.”
- Albert Einstein


“The human mind is not capable of grasping the Universe. We are like a little child entering a huge library. The walls are covered to the ceilings with books in many different tongues. The child knows that someone must have written these books. It does not know who or how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. But the child notes a definite plan in the arrangement of the books - a mysterious order which it does not comprehend, but only dimly suspects.”
- Albert Einstein


"Sit with a pretty girl for an hour and it seems like a minute. Put your finger on a hot stove for a minute and it seems like an hour. THAT'S relativity."
- Albert Einstein


"Murder is unique in that it abolishes the party it injures, so that society has to take the place of the victim and on his behalf demand atonement or grant forgiveness; it is the one crime in which society has a direct interest."
- W.H. Auden


“If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day, so I never have to live without you.”
- A. A. Milne (Winnie the Pooh)


"A whispering corpse is no stranger than the moon."
- Clint Willis


“When Alexander the Great visited Diogenes and asked whether he could do anything for the famed teacher, Diogenes replied: 'Only stand out of my light.' Perhaps some day we shall know how to heighten creativity. Until then, one of the best things we can do for creative men and women is to stand out of their light.”
- John W. Gardner


"I just take this job very seriously. It's almost like, you play a kid's game for a king's ransom. And if you don't take it serious enough, eventually one day you're going to say, 'Oh, I could have done this, I could have done that. So I just say, 'I'm healthy right now, I'm going into my fourth year, and why not do the best that I can?' And that's whatever it is, whether it's eating right or training myself right, whether it's studying harder, whatever I can do to better myself."
- Sean Taylor RIP


"There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls."
- George Carlin




~~~~Favorite Lyrics~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turn my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never shared
No one dared
Disturb the sound of silence

"Fools," said I, "you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls,”
And whispered in the sound of silence"
- The Sound Of Silence, Simon and Garfunkel


"The higher you are
The farther you fall
The longer the walk
The farther you crawl
My body, my temple
This temple it tilts
Step into the house that Jack built"
- The House Jack Built, Metallica


"Have you ever walked through a room
And it was more like the room passed around you
Like there was a leash around your neck that pulled you through?
Have you ever been at someplace
Recognizing everybody's face
Until you realized that there was no one there you knew?
Have you ever buried your face in your hands
Cause no one around you understands
Or has the slightest idea what it is that makes you be?
Have you ever felt like there was more
Like someone else was keeping score
And what could make you whole was simply out of reach?"
- Have You Ever, The Offspring


"I found you here, now please just stay for a while
I can move on with you around
I hand you my mortal life, but will it be forever?
I'd do anything for a smile, holding you 'til our time is done
We both know the day will come, but I don't want to leave you

Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over
Newborn life replacing life, replacing all of us, changing this fable we live in
No longer needed here so where should we go?
Will you take a journey tonight, follow me past the walls of death?
But girl, what if there is no eternal life?"
- Seize The Day, Avenged Sevenfold


" I never thought they'd want me to go even faster,
never thought I took my foot off the gas,
everybody loves to be in on the pressure,
but I know they're all waiting for the crash"
- Tomorrow, SR71


"So here it goes,
This is my letter.
Hope you're alright,
It's been rough for me
Thinking all night,
About the places I'd be,
If I maybe just did a little bit more,
You might have let me
Become a man for sure
And if I might express once concern,
It seems an issue
All day in every turn.
Whats the next step,
The latest hole in my life?
Whats next for me to learn?"
- My Letter, Flaw
