type='text'>Loss</title><content type='html'>So I stood in the hallway leading to the bathroom trying frantically to find some kind of piece of mind. He always bounces back I told myself and breathed as regularly as I could. He’ll be fine. He is fine. There was no justification for this reason, I just accepted it timidly and weakly walked throughout the store trying to busy myself with folding clothing or running over potential scenarios over my head. I had called my dad and told him that he was shot. It was a disconcerting conversation. He didn’t seem surprised at all. After what seemed hours of pointless cycles of thought and trying to comfort myself, she called. She asked if I was still at work, and if I was when would I get off. The apprehension was tangible. It was another person in the room taunting me in a sadistic manner. The concept of inevitability began to expand in the back of my mind, until I could feel as if my sanity was teetering. She arrived. Called me. She asked me to come outside. I asked her if she had found out anything more than what I had been told regarding the situation and she only said I needed to come outside. It was only a matter of time now as I told everyone good night and began to walk out of the store. She was sitting in the Suburban, and in retrospect they seemed darker than usual. What was with all of this secrecy? I just want to know what’s going on! She got out of the car, and walked toward me. I don’t know if she started crying before or after she told me. It doesn’t matter.  I asked her what she knew of the situation.&lt;br /&gt;‘Is he alive?!’&lt;br /&gt;She shook her head. A movement of the head has never held so much weight.&lt;br /&gt;‘NO!’ I shouted uncontrollably, moving as if I was going to punch the ground in response to my news. I shuffled about erratically for a moment. My mom made me sit down on a bench with her. She spoke of how he was with God as if this were a comfort to me, as I sat in the back of the Suburban. I muttered bitterly about how the things she was talking about weren’t real. I got out of the Suburban. I got into my car. I sobbed and swore in a more pathetic fashion then I ever have or likely ever will. Driving home listening to a rock band called Interpol. Cursing life for the awful set of circumstances it had dealt, and I think, somewhere in my mind, cursing myself for not preventing it somehow. Insanely enough, I went to work the next morning. I felt a cavernous rendition of the person that had been intact less than a day before. I felt a hollow pain then I knew was here to stay. I felt backstabbed by life for it robbing me of my best friend. I felt aged. I felt gone. People say that you typically grieve for four seasons. I don’t subscribe to such a clean cut version of mourning. I believe permanent loss can permanently change a person. I have seen nothing to the contrary.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8208492569657642577-6796971548625661071?l=motivatedconfusion.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://motivatedconfusion.blogspot.com/feeds/6796971548625661071/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8208492569657642577&amp;postID=6796971548625661071' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8208492569657642577/posts/default/6796971548625661071'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8208492569657642577/posts/default/6796971548625661071'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://motivatedconfusion.blogspot.com/2008/02/loss.html' title='Loss'/><author><name>Jacob</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11575956870212898687</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8208492569657642577.post-1140277620692271416</id><published>2008-01-24T19:32:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-01-24T19:35:20.553-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Stimulated</title><content type='html'>Sparking anguish in a suitcase filled with infants&lt;br /&gt;Hearts spring into a lift of brute grace instilled by inmates&lt;br /&gt;Inside my head liberated by&lt;br /&gt;Guns made of taped-together glass&lt;br /&gt;I am here&lt;br /&gt;and my mind is clear&lt;br /&gt;But they are distinct&lt;br /&gt;And I believe I think&lt;br /&gt;this difference is better.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8208492569657642577-1140277620692271416?l=motivatedconfusion.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://motivatedconfusion.blogspot.com/feeds/1140277620692271416/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8208492569657642577&amp;postID=1140277620692271416' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8208492569657642577/posts/default/1140277620692271416'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8208492569657642577/posts/default/1140277620692271416'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://motivatedconfusion.blogspot.com/2008/01/stimulated.html' title='Stimulated'/><author><name>Jacob</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11575956870212898687</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8208492569657642577.post-7016708524798508113</id><published>2008-01-18T12:01:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-01-18T12:27:22.615-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Coast</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;This places upsets me. I hate being at the beach, because it's an incessant reminder of how I hate swimming, how much I fear swimming in the ocean.  How pitiful of a person I am rendered when put in isolation.  I also hate family 'vacations' which are an endurance test and a superfluous waste of time simultaneously. For once I would appreciate my free time to not be adulterated by the idiotic notions of other peoples schedules and interpretations of what concepts like family and togetherness. I will not have my life bound by another's perception of me, or anything else at any point in time. When seniority becomes knowledge I'll be more apt to listen. But aging does not imply wisdom. Nor does it imply maturity. Whenever I find comfort in something it is taken from me. Whenever I put my faith in something, it is exposed as the result of my elated ignorance. It's problematic that I'm at my happiest when I'm at my least thoughtful. It is also troublesome to realize that, my family life can be held accountable for a frightening amount of my struggles. I am disatisfied with this life that I am being handed.   I hate my parents. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8208492569657642577-7016708524798508113?l=motivatedconfusion.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://motivatedconfusion.blogspot.com/feeds/7016708524798508113/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8208492569657642577&amp;postID=7016708524798508113' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8208492569657642577/posts/default/7016708524798508113'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8208492569657642577/posts/default/7016708524798508113'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://motivatedconfusion.blogspot.com/2008/01/coast.html' title='Coast'/><author><name>Jacob</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11575956870212898687</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8208492569657642577.post-4257855332572336291</id><published>2008-01-16T11:55:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-01-16T12:20:51.151-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Fear</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;I’m pretty well controlled by fear of one kind or another.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fear of academic failure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fear of personal failure&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fear of isolation or loss beyond control&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every waking moment that I have to my disposal is mainly dominated by anxious thoughts and warped repetitive statements and perspectives which hold no place in my life. My existentialist, borderline dualistic approach to the obstacles and events that define my days is a double-edged sword. I am learning consistency, but it is hard to remain one way for even the shortest period of time. It seems like the only time everything was cut-and-dry black and white was when I child, when I was ignorant. I am unbelievably tired of ruining things, places, and connections that make me happy through no deliberate commitment towards such an outcome on my part. I am torn between living in the mood and brooding about how little I, and this life matters. Or at least how my perspective renders it so. You know you are thinking too hard too much when you can literally feel yourself processing every bit of information in an effort to understand the smallest shred of what is going on around you. I am not negative. I am overwhelmed. There is a definite difference between the two, and I wish it were perceived by more people. Fortunately I’m learning to escape my thoughts by keeping busy. Not just occupied but ridiculously involved in everything I do. Because I can’t handle relaxation. I can’t handle ‘idle’. Because doing nothing is the equivalent of putting my mind on a slope.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

type='text'>Retrofitted Lacking</title><content type='html'>After looking at the Christmas tree, I realized that everything pure that I have ever experience has been eventually adulterated by others. Halloween, Easter, sports, the sense of christmas joy, my faith in God. My environment has progressively dictated that these things are painful reminders of an naivette I will never again posesss. It's not disheartening, just very sad to come to terms with the concept of the best things in life being taken from you.(Whether by your's or someone else's design) I have even unintentionally sabotaged a relationship in which I was truly loved and I truly loved them....And through my innate selfishness I lost it all. But at the same time it seems that I had to lose the best things in life in order to mature. And also develop a greater appreciation of everything I had and everything I could potentially have if I can just exercise some patience for once in my life.  I believe my maturation has had very little to with choice, if anything it has just been a necesary alteration to my previous obstinancy.....I believe I'm becoming obstinant for the rights reasons though now-in an effort to truly become a decent person for many people's sake. I should go complete some homework now.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8208492569657642577-2613269640309898068?l=motivatedconfusion.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://motivatedconfusion.blogspot.com/feeds/2613269640309898068/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8208492569657642577&amp;postID=2613269640309898068' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8208492569657642577/posts/default/2613269640309898068'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8208492569657642577/posts/default/2613269640309898068'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://motivatedconfusion.blogspot.com/2007/12/retrofitted-lacking.html' title='Retrofitted Lacking'/><author><name>Jacob</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11575956870212898687</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8208492569657642577.post-7361559767796167474</id><published>2007-11-30T19:06:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-11-30T19:07:15.048-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Monster</title><content type='html'>Three irises to a pupil&lt;br /&gt;

You shouldn't become the person you're closest to out of covenience. The only reason you should adopt the characteristics of another person should be to improve yourself as a person. Individuality isn't overated and complicated, it's underused and simple.  On another note, I don't agree with the theory that Atheism encourages the development of amoral pretentious intellectuals who sneer with disdain at the possibility of being wrong. Having going through this stage myself I can honestly say that the arrogance of independence is no more then a stage of maturity. Being filled with pride is far easier to manage then being consistently humble, so people often decide to live by the former. I also have a great deal of respect for the 'faithful', deists, Christians, Jews, Muslims, etc.... Having faith is an admirable accomplishment in my eyes, even if I don't subscribe to their lifestyle of hopeful dedication in this life. The more honest I am with myself the more I tend to realize that I would love to have the comfort security and inspiration of a God. Or even just the knowledge that their is an otherworldly being that loves my for all that I am, regardless of my faults, deliberately made or otherwise.  But the overwhelming need for logic and order in my mind displaces that possibility. My borderline compulsive need for proof of anything that is not tangible and explicitly clear to my senses is simulataneously a helpful tool for analysis and maddeningly repetitive. Despite wishing that there were a god of some sort, I have also come to terms with the fact that I wouldn't be able to live under rules dictated by such a being anyway(10 commandments, 5 pillars etc) So, if the Judeo-Christian God exists then I will be commited to eternal torment for my lifestyle and choices. Assuming that there is nothing spiritual beyond this life I will cease to exist upon dying. It's just a matter of determining whether existing in pain for eternity or not existing at all worse.

On the way back from Jessie's house last night(I love her) my oil light began blinking repeatedly which alarmed me(I've never had that light come on, thought it seems strange that this would bother me more than the omnipresent dull light beneath my spedometer screaming 'MAINTENINCE REQUIRED', but my dad said it was nothing I needed to worry about, though considering his abilities to prioritize wrongly I wouldn't be surprised if the Honda burst into flames next time I turn the ignition.....Anyway time to end this run on sentence----Or is it? I tried to call Graphica to let them know I'm going to be late but I'm assuming no one is there yet....I mean you can't really expect people to be at work more than a half hour before their set to. Unless you're one of those frighteningly overbearing employees who smiles at everything from getting a raise to finding out you unintentionally ran over your own mother while intoxicated. I think too much-well let me qualify that. &lt;em&gt;I&lt;/em&gt; don't think too much. My &lt;em&gt;OCD &lt;/em&gt;thinks too much. The whole 'You are not your illness concept comes to mind' I'm so fatigued. I need to sleep well tonight to make up for the advancing problem of my sleep debt. I feel like an army of invisible trolls are moonwalking on my forehead with giant boots. Not the most serious of comparisons but it will do for now. The interesting thing is that based on my behavior around the Perkins they would likely deduce that I always act that sporadically. I'm not even slightly as spastic when it's just Jessie and I-I only act like I don't have any common sense(for the most part) When there are other people around the two of us-or if I'm with others on my own. Hanging out with Jess is always such a festive, joyous ocassion-And spending time with others is uninvolved, bland experience. We're both aware of this- I just felt the need to articulate it in writing. Also, I'm still wondering why I begin to feel such pain when&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8208492569657642577-8447617490096562641?l=motivatedconfusion.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://motivatedconfusion.blogspot.com/feeds/8447617490096562641/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8208492569657642577&amp;postID=8447617490096562641' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8208492569657642577/posts/default/8447617490096562641'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8208492569657642577/posts/default/8447617490096562641'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://motivatedconfusion.blogspot.com/2007/08/oil-change.html' title='Oil Change'/><author><name>Jacob</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11575956870212898687</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8208492569657642577.post-8891735007451794709</id><published>2007-07-02T06:24:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-07-02T06:31:51.323-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Selfishness</title><content type='html'>Roid raid in&lt;br /&gt;In the city of F&lt;br /&gt;In the state of G&lt;br /&gt;Destroyed not by a blade&lt;br /&gt;but drugs and which was more important to save&lt;br /&gt;your career&lt;br /&gt;or the child you reared&lt;br /&gt;The wife you pledged to&lt;br /&gt;Now the police allege you&lt;br /&gt;Killed them both in a narcotic fit&lt;br /&gt;a drug dream&lt;br /&gt;a sluggish stream of cruelty from which nothing was gleaned&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8208492569657642577-8891735007451794709?l=motivatedconfusion.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://motivatedconfusion.blogspot.com/feeds/8891735007451794709/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8208492569657642577&amp;postID=8891735007451794709' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8208492569657642577/posts/default/8891735007451794709'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8208492569657642577/posts/default/8891735007451794709'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://motivatedconfusion.blogspot.com/2007/07/selfishness.html' title='Selfishness'/><author><name>Jacob</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11575956870212898687</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8208492569657642577.post-6562913172717335237</id><published>2007-06-28T18:13:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-06-28T18:14:18.691-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Murder</title><content type='html'>is indefensible, inscrubtable and ignorant.

This cumulates in high school drop outs, and general academic apathy.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8208492569657642577-3267963845233521690?l=motivatedconfusion.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://motivatedconfusion.blogspot.com/feeds/3267963845233521690/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8208492569657642577&amp;postID=3267963845233521690' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8208492569657642577/posts/default/3267963845233521690'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8208492569657642577/posts/default/3267963845233521690'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://motivatedconfusion.blogspot.com/2007/05/organization.html' title='Organization'/><author><name>Jacob</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11575956870212898687</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8208492569657642577.post-982106787994462842</id><published>2007-05-09T18:04:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-05-09T18:56:08.229-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Done</title><content type='html'>I want my innocence back!!!&lt;br /&gt;I wanna weep in the corner&lt;br /&gt;with this damned jaded nature in my eyes&lt;br /&gt;I feel I've earned more&lt;br /&gt;I feel I've learned more than this- cyclical thoughts so pitiful&lt;br /&gt;I'm not happy as this scarecrow&lt;br /&gt;straw under my skin&lt;br /&gt;straw in my heart&lt;br /&gt;straw over those same deprived eyes..&lt;br /&gt;But the innocence leaves me defenseless.....&lt;br /&gt;Let me feel what I wish!
