A New Year's Eve Post
by Eric Siegel.
I honestly have little to say. I’m just ready for this change.
a new year’s resolution? be the best. most of the time I feel like I’m only second best, if that. I’ll change that this year, you’ll see.
and get closer to God. and that shouldn’t be a new year’s resolution, that should be every day’s resolution.

I'm definitely turning over a new leaf in my life.
we need more people in our lives who think like that.

niether land (descend)
the sky high
blinding light
falling low,
there’s still height.
big tower,
down the stairs
lies power
simply dares.
holy ground,
peace of mind,
yet sinking,
there’s no find.
absent life,
lack of soul…
hold the knife,
amsterdam.
[who wants to watch
puppets]?
they’re fake. they’re used.
just read the wikipedia entry for Justin Beiber. [puppet]. Jonas Brothers turned into [puppets].
the ones who stick to their guns earn my respect.

is the reason for my desire of a record player
"I Am The Walrus"
made me laugh because I think of Bono when I hear it.
listening to my dad’s old records. some of them are: The Beatles (1967-1970, The White Album, Hey Jude), Chicago (Chicago), The Allman Brothers (Brothers And Sisters), Yes (Fragile), and Electric Light Orchestra (Out Of The Blue).
loving Boxing Day as much as Christmas.

A Christmas Eve Post
by Eric Siegel.
the year has gone by way too fast, yet seems like I can’t recall any of it. like Bono, “I’ve been all over, and it’s been all over me”. had highs and lows, but all of it equaled out nicely.
this year has satisfied me. but tomorrow might just be the first Christmas where I just don’t care what I’m getting.
this is my 19th Christmas. also,...
Tumblarity
not a word I disagree with.

swimming miles and miles and miles anxiety’s got you cuffed and you don’t know who to blame heal the heart and bleed the faith when it hurts to say “wait” thankful for this morning can’t take nonsense someone over here yells “victory in the clear” some months just don’t have much.
put this in and you will [see {know (think) feel} hear]
it's cold in my house
and I wonder why the stove’s not on.
little to say. but I’ve been bottling up my words for a real Christmas eve memo. it’ll happen.
Jesus will happen!

the funniest thing on youtube →
consists of one person’s reaction of a baby laughing on youtube, followed by a second person’s reaction of the first person, followed by a third reaction, so on so fourth. behold, a chain of laughter that just gets funnier and funnier.

knock, knock.
who’s there?
it’s me, I’ve only been knocking for the past 25 minutes and everything in the world just happened and though it affected everyone else it didn’t affect me for some reason, like I’m some kind of ghost and I’m able to watch those around me come and go for centuries and centuries where there’s hot-and-cold, joy-and-destruction and peace-and-war...

put this in
when your legs shake and your anxieties take
a big, big bite out of your mind’s sake,
when your words choke and troubles provoke
nothing but one mean, mean stroke,

come back again,
it hurts just knowing that there’s someone who can,
the mud to sand,
all I really know is that I don’t make the rain.

no need to bleed faith with so much haste,
you can’t...
14,000 things
my mom has that book! I read about 6 pages and then wondered why we should be happy about really weird things like salt and park benches and whatever.

you too Amanda! half the battle is the nervousness. and confidence is always good, too. you’ll do great!
listen, by that I mean
hear this bird sing.
the birds in the trees whistle their songbird songs while feeding their young. when they grow, they go on their own, passing the same tradition of whistling the same tune. feeding the same food.
aren’t we all young? things are given to us each day. situations are thrown at us practically every second. I want to give everyone something. I want to give you something.

Stars
Vermont is the place to be in order to see all the stars.
I spent 10 minutes
looking at my only vinyl record of Coldplay’s X&Y. I was that bored today. I didn’t feel like doing the homework right away, so I sat in my computer chair, feet on my desk table thing, and opened up the cardboard case of the record. I took out one of the vinyl discs and looked at it, studied the little ridges in the disc, wondering what it would look like if i had a magnifying...
when the going gets tough,
I try flowing.
if it snows tonight, I will be happier than happy. snow will make my our night, I know that for sure. who cares if it’s only Sunday tomorrow? we need some that white, cold magic.
that’s all I really have to say. I’ll think of more to say later, if I’ve got anything.

oh my God,
hear my plea.
I just messed up. completely.
brought up the worst topic to the worst person. I don’t even know what tempted me to say it. for some reason it hindered me so much to the point where it hopped out of me.
please give me strength, strength that will not let me give up in any way. I’m apart of this plan that means so much to me and I wouldn’t want to give that up for...
25 (minus 12)
and I just understood what 25 minus 12 meant
I'm so sick
I can’t wait to get out of here either.
it’s like life hasn’t really begun or something, and it’s all because of South Brunswick…
this tumblr thing
is complicating.
like, is this how you comment on other people’s profiles and stuff?

dear - - - - - -,
this is the first blog.
this is a portion of my own sanctum, that belongs to me. words, lines, pictures, music, THOUGHTS of my own. what I think is what goes here, and if I think it is worth saying, I will say it. I would never want to offend anyone.
and here is the rundown: do not say what is not worth saying. open your mind more than your mouth. and, please enjoy.
that is all.
