Xmas holidays have taken my little state by storm and I keep seeing the twinkle in the sky's eye hinting at a coming snow storm. It's this weather that's perfect for hot chocolate and cuddling with a loved one. And it's also the time for deep thought and soul searching for some.

I want all of my dev friends to know that I think the world of you, and am forever thankful for the inspiration you provide me.

With that said, This Christmas will be one that I'll always remember!


Over the holiday, I'll probably leave a bit of a longer message detailing my experiences. But not yet (^.^) because I'm still caught in their grasp and rapid dance!

Hello my dearest friends! I know I've been quite inactive as of late but I blame the dregs of school. I've been continuing my research with the helicopter research and come close to seeing at least one part explode (ah, but no luck!)

I've been spending my other time experiencing happiness that I never knew existed ! At night, I've been taking drives where you can see the turning leaves fall like forgotten stars from the sky.

Either way, I have two pieces in the works:

Routine

Days drift by in the pulling tide
with my stoic form fighting
society’s grand schemes as
devoutly as the clinging fingers
of nature.

the gears and tendon belts
of our self-proclaimed monstrosity
Exhales the smog of the ancients
with neon scales advertising progress.

I blink away my distressed tears.
with a lowering newspaper, I sip
Artificial orange juice. And briefcase
in hand, I lower my head to face
Another step against the waves.

~And the other piece isn't typed up yet. I will continue to do my best to give you input on your artworks and can't thank you enough for furthering my skills with your criticisms.

Any big plans for halloween or just doing like me and pretending to be an overgrown kid and stealing candy?

All the best,
Infrunitas

Hello once again, my amazing friends!

Fall:

It's the start to a new semester for me as a graduate student! I'll be continue working on my research with a new skip in my step! It seems I found someone that I can't help but smile every time I see them. But I'll save the mushy stuff for later ^.^

Updates:

I still welcome all of you to join me and my adventures on facebook as there are too many stories to tell! But here are the highlights: vacation (the first in two years!), plans to still visit california, high speed chase after my car was broken into (and i turned vigilante and caught them), dancing, star-gazing (missed the meteor shower due to clouds), bought a kite, finally fixed my jeep, and so much more!

Now:

I have much to catch up on and I hope you all don't mind a few late critiques!

Hello my grand and magnificent friends! And if you happen to question that previous notion, know that I believe it to be completely true for all of you.

Methinks it's about time for a new journal as I'm currently still at my wit's end on my poem-in-progress. I also managed to start writing a new entry for my prose section that, like two of my other pieces, came to me in a dream. As rare as they are for me, I take heed.

A few highlights: I just received my bachelor's of science in Mechanical Engineering, started back teaching martial arts (to a few college friends), continuing dancing and trying the dating scene (which has left me a bit...longing).

I’m currently planning two summer trips: one to New Zealand where I hope to meet up with my bro, Darkvenom, and one other one that I’m not sure where it’ll take me. I’m truly hoping to be able to go to California and see my dearest and lovely pirate friend, KayVee. Both of which will be grand adventures and can’t wait to meet them in person.

Ever have those people in your life that you meet in passing or rather after a single conversation, and left you wishing you knew them more? Perhaps, a person that stirred your thoughts and emotions like a giant egg-beater all the way down to your core?

I’ve been indulging upon a few thoughtful conversations with a couple of friends. I love a good conversation that you feel almost released afterwards, and tempts to steal you away from your beliefs if you were of weaker mind. Of course, you still have your mental guards around your heart in place, but they’ve opened slightly; revealing that inner passion. I, however, wear mine on my sleeve.

After so many years, I still long to find someone that can help me understand my heart or one with the patience to help me guide it to where it needs to be. Or just to have someone that sees that depth beneath a smile. Until that point, I continue to write poetry that details bits and pieces of my life as my mind interprets them and just enjoys life for what it is.


I have never found more accepting friends. I truly thank you all for that. And I strongly believe now that if you have the mindset for adventure, you’re going to find it!

I am not one to be controlled.

I am not one to be toyed with.

I am not one to be manipulated.

I do not harbor ill will for the demons of this life. For they serve their purpose in making the willful stronger.


I am selfless.

I am loved without excess of guilt.

I am remembered for my deeds and not just my words.

I am able to walk away from those unwilling to save themselves.

~Still off the charts and experiencing life—even with people I previously thought were at fault and am slowly finding they are truly terrific friends—while remembering to take the time to enjoy a rainstorm or two. I’ve removed a few scraps, pieces, and journals from my gallery.

And I wish all of my fellow deviants the best along their journey.
