On The Edge

Ever felt like you're on the edge? 

Lady Gaga once felt like she was on the edge of glory. I don't know what that means. I suppose she was close to achieving something great - even though by that time she was already a the "super-mega-ultra-massive-new queen of alternative pop rock". My guess is, she didn't have a clue what she was singing about, the tune was just catchy. 

As for me; at times I feel as if I'm on the edge of an emotional breakdown. How cool is that? (NOT!) I'd rather be clueless and on the edge of glory. 

The last few days I've felt on the edge of tears the entire time. The build up before you get to have a good sob-session, except I don't get my lekker weep time. You know what I'm talking about. It's not a good thing when you have something to cry about, but if you have a good and proper cry you feel better afterwards. It's scientific, I think. 

So basically I don't know what's wrong with me! Why I feel so bummed out the entire time and why I can't get out of this funk. It's giving me wirter's block and making me lazy. Who REALLY wants to do anything when all they feel like doing is curling up into a ball and crying. 

But I really want to stop feeling so bleak and just get on with life. So if you have any suggestions about how to get out of a slump, or how you got out of your slump if you've ever been in one, comment and let me know on my blog or here on facebook :) 


PS: Thanks for all the support you guys! Yesterday I hit 100 page views! So excited! :)

Instead of Sleeping

Its 3am right now. I can't help but wonder what everyone is doing.

I just woke up. Lately I wake up at a random hour every night and it takes me another hour or 2 before I can go back to enjoying my slumber. I decided to spend my hours awake tonight blogging, since it's been a while.

I suspect there are 12-year-old girls out there trying to force themselves to stay awake at a sleepover so that they can gossip and make prank calls all night. (Just for the record 12-year-old boys don't do the same thing. They go to bed when they're tired and sleep until you wake them up and annoy them with your prank call.)

Other 12-year-old children have already had they're first or second or umpteenth clubbing experience tonight - drinking and drugs may or may not be included. These CHILDREN are probably now "bowing down to the porcelain king" (throwing up into the nearest toilet).  But do not fret, they make the decision to never drink and party again ( the same decision they made last week, and  the week before, and the week before...)

Typical teenagers are doing everything from recovering from a bad trip (smoking marijuana that wasn't only marijuana *or another drug) to being as high as a kite. They're out clubbing or home from a good decent party that didn't get rowdy at all. Some of them just went to their church's youth group and came home. Others SAID they were going to youth and actually went smoking behind a bush or walked off to a club. It's tough to tell what teens are doing right now, but it mostly comes down to either partying or passed out.

As for the older generations: those in their 20s are similar to either the teenagers (except they don't have to tell their parent anymore) or the 30-somethings. Those in their 30s are probably asleep, some might have been woken up by a crying child and some might have gone out to try and show that they've still got "it". In your 40s and 50s people generally try to get as much sleep as possible, so they are probably asleep now, if not bailing they're 20-something out of jail. From ages 60 to 100, unless they have insomnia or some other ailment that has them in a lot of pain, they sleep through the night like a snail. (Apparently snails can sleep from up to 3 years.)

This post is of course not accounting for all the hanky-panky going on.
But what do you think people do at 3am?

About Some Old Poems

If you've checked the dates under some of the already posted poems, you'll notice many were written in 2008, 2009 and 2010. I was considerably younger; emotionally and psychologically there is a very large gap in maturity from what I was like n 2008/9 to what I am like now. The gap is just as big when it comes to my writing skills and style.
My poems- especially- will probably be posted in a seemingly random order, because even though I physically wrote them in one of my numerous journals at the time I felt the urge, I have to actually find those journals and poems again before I can post them here. And let's just say that I'm not the neatest, nor the most organised person you'll meet.
This is going to be quite an endeavour, and I shall now go spelunking under my bed and dive into some boxes and crates to find my journals.
Wish me luck...
