Observations: Funny (Obvious and Obscure)

I was walking back from my class this morning and was bitter because of the chill wind blowing through the campus. I walked around the library and suddenly was washed in sunlight. It was like a switch in my mind flicked. The wind seemed less cold, my life less hectic, the day just seemed to become so much better.

Weaving in and out of shadows, figuratively and literally, it's funny how simply changing your path can effect you. My friends believe I change my mood more often than an actor changes their wardrobe. I cant disagree with that. Too many things have an impact on me, some obvious, but some are dreadfully obscure. Watching a squirrel run across my path, stop, look at me, then scamper up a tree delights me. Birds flying in formation or hearing the lone cry of a proud eagle, these are things that raise my spirits. A cup of warm coffee listening to light jazz calms me. The color orange makes me smile. Some obvious, some obscure.

Birth of a Sound

Welcome to my mind! Well, welcome to the textual representations of my thoughts, most of which are skittering through my mind at the speed of thought (haha..oh bad jokes, I love thee). Most of what you will read here are a collection of thoughts, mixed with my writing, with a strong dash of my poetry. Never hesitate to comment, for good or ill, if you want!

A little about me, I guess. I am currently a student at SUNY @ Purchase College in Westchester, New York. I was born and raised in Buffalo, but have spent a good portion of my life down in the Sunshine State. I am a sarcastic, off color joke loving, random movie quoting, nice guy. I rarely have harsh words to say about people, though I wont lie and say I don't say them on occasion. I love hockey, the NHL's New York Islanders, and follow it almost religously. I am a Psychology major, 1 semester away from wrapping up my BA.

I have been published in small publications here and in the United Kingdom, but am always looking for more exposure. I am an exposure whore, to be honest. The more people that see my work, the better chance I have at getting published in something somewhat bigger than a 10,000 print collection of writers (thank you Samuel [UK], you made my year with that opportunity!).

So, without further adeu, I give you my latest work I have pumped out. Expect a couple a day, so subscribe and sit back with a cup of coffee (make sure you pour me one too! My blood has been replaced with fresh ground coffee, I swear) and enjoy!
