"You give my emptiness a name"

Favorite bit of words at the moment.

It kills me not to know this, but I've all but just forgotten

What the color of her eyes were and her scars or how she got them

In honor of a holiday that means nothing

You can be empty and I could be right here empty with you

Or you could be hollow and I could be right here hollow with you

If you want to say goodbye to everything I could say goodbye too

I could be right here empty with you

If it means a lot to you

I can't even express how much I love what I do. Sure, the planning and grading are tedious, but interacting with the students more than makes up for it. The past month has been the best of my internship so far. Now I just have to pretend to care about my action research. Booo.

Amazing, Because It Is

I go through cycles within my own music listening habits, often moving back and forth between a wide range of sounds. I've currently been on a kick where I need everything to be harder, louder and faster. Some of it has to do with entering a period of my life where I'm really searching for something elusive as I try to figure out what comes next? Partly I just need the energy boost in order to keep "bringing it," so to speak, as far as my classroom teaching goes. Either way, I've found myself pushing in new directions as far as my tastes go in a variety of different areas. Growth is supposed to hurt a little, right? This song, by The Almost, really captures of the essence of what I'm feeling right now as my fingers tap-tap away at the keys.

Amazing, Because It Is.

I was so scared of everything you put in front of me
I've been arching every part of me
Just to see
Why you need me to be
The boy you need me to be

Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That saves a wretch like me
I once was lost
And now I'm found
Was blind but now I see

I just wanna see

I'm the type of person who lets fear drive
I'm the type of guy that lets it drive
Cause I'm addicted, I'm needy
I mean it
I'm lost without you
I need you
I name you.
