Things I will never understand

People who want to go (or are already in) into the entertainment industry (primarily television and movies) who blindly protested SOPA and PIPA. These acts were designed to protect copyrights and the financial interest of people in entertainment. Though they overstretched this and ultimately would have shut down websites where free information is the purpose, their goal was to protect the integrity (and wallets) of writers, actors, and creators. Anti-piracy legislation is good for the entertainment industry. This legislation was bad for other Internet media.

He talked a lot about loneliness
But why, she didn't know
And some song about Memphis
Was playing on the radio
She said, let's stop the car and slow dance
Won't you just give me a chance?
He took her hand
And hoped she'd understand

AND IT’S HARD TO DANCE WITH THE DEVIL ON YOUR BACK SO SHAKE HIM OFF

Unwrap

What a difference
it makes
when the gift
you want to
unwrap
the very most
never believed
in wearing ribbons
and never bothered
with the bow
at all.

I blame you, I thank you, I blame you

For the last three years, I really struggled with the dichotomy of home. I lost the deep feeling of being at home anywhere. In fact, I lost deep feeling at all. I shut off a part of my brain that made me feel lonely or insecure or much of anything.

I guess I used to be a girl so absolutely driven by emotion that other aspects of me didn’t exist. My decisions were all so fueled by either love or hate, passion or disinterest. I didn’t have those other parts of you that are important, like logical reasoning or cerebral control. I’m not sure that many people think this is a good thing, but I am happy and I am strong now, and those are things that I never have been before.

My closest friend and I were talking about change last night. We feel like college and being away changed us so much, but when we come home, we meet up with old friends in old bars and everyone laughingly reminds us that we haven’t changed at all.

So, yes, I guess we haven’t changed. We look the same and we sound the same and we make the same jokes. We fall back into our old roles and we love each other in the same way.

I’m not sure if anyone will ever see that part of me died in the past three years, but after losing my home, I think I’m finally finding my way back.
