RL Ramble....pieces of me...

And thus ends a stressful week and another (hopefully) less stressful will begin.

I've been up and down in rollercoaster of moods. I'm still going through it. One day, i'm utterly depressed and a total funk. The next day is a happy-go-lucky me.

Then are the moods within those days. Most days have been okay but some things will set me off on a crying spree. I don't know if it's the stress or the pms or i'm just crazy or something.

But on those days, I wonder I why I feel alone when I'm surrounded by loved ones. I feel something is missing and the next moment, the feeling is buried and gone.

I don't know if I want to whine in a public entry since most of my whining is done elsewhere.

blah...I don't know whether I feel silly for putting so much emotion into something so silly. maybe that's why i feel neglected. but shit happens and life moves on. All I can do is live it to the best I can, right?

....i feel silly for being moody over stupid things. but i can't help it. i can't let it go and it's driving me nuts.

*kicks insomnia*

bleh...at least my tongue is not swollen anymore. played a friendly boxing match but got my butt whooped since I kept refraining from hitting hard and nearly kicked my opponent many, many times. I've never been in a strictly boxing match before so i can honestly say i hate it, despite my little boxing training. I much prefer kickboxing. that way, i can push kick the person away from me if they get to close.

anyways........yeah. nothing more to say.

Some Poetry from the Six Collections

This is the Barrier
Where people come and people go
Exchanging farewells;
For friends and strangers alike
This is Meeting Barrier

Semimaru (translted by Donald Keene)

( Two more Japanese poems and translations )

and now one of my favorite poems by John Keats. Tis fabulous.

( Ode on a Grecian Urn )

My last poem (yes, on a poetry splurge, kthx) is by Matthew Stepanek, who wrote poetry since he was three and is currently living with a rare form of muscular dystrophy. He lost three siblings to the same disease and his hopefulness and his positive outlook on life makes me smile and dream of better things in the realm of cancer/genetic disorders/diseases.

Enjoy....♥
