Barely Whispers

 cryptic cries for help

 and an unsung hero to the unassuming rescue

 you said you'd kill the horse

 if I beat it

Heavier

"As she raised a glass of water, everyone expected they’d be asked the “half empty or half full” question. Instead, with a smile on her face she inquired, “How heavy is this glass of water?” The answers called out ranged from 8oz to 20 oz. She replied, “The absolute weight doesn’t matter. It depends on how long I hold it. If I hold it for a minute, its not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I’ll have an ache in my arm. If I hold it for a day, my arm will feel numb and paralyzed. In each case, the weight of the glass doesn’t change, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.”"

Glass In My Hand

"I charged at the waves

with a glass in my hand

I was tossed like a ball

at the bottle stand

and I landed beside your

remains on the stones

where your cold fingers

wrapped around my ankle bones"

One Day And On That Day

"It's a train derailed and two car head 
on freeway crash each time we meet.
"and if it comes as some sort of surprise," 
she said "that I seem so composed, I've 
kept this moment closer to my eyes," she 
said,"than the glasses resting on the
edge of my nose."

She was graceful and green as a stem,
but I walk heavy on delicate ground.
Oh, there I go showing off again.
Self-impressed by how well I can put myself down...
and there I go again, to the next further removed
level of that same exact feigned humility,and this
for me goes on and on to the point of nausea

One day the water's gunna wash it away
One day the water's gunna wash it away
One day the water's gunna wash it away
and on that day...
One day the water's gunna wash it away
One day the water's gunna wash it away
Nothing clever to say.
One day.
Nothing else to say."

Hoping You Will

"my sadness is not a cut for you to bandage
and it is not a bruise for you to kiss

i am not waiting for you to save me
i am hoping you will love me
while i rescue myself"

• 1. Talk about your favorite film of all time (or one of them)
• The Science of Sleep is my favorite movie of all time because I love watching every second of it. It's creative, beautiful, honest, and Stephan is one of the most (if not the most) relatable character to me in all of the films that I have seen. Michel Gondry knows exactly how he wants everything to look, and the relationship between Stephan, and Stephanie, as well as Stephan's relationship with the world is painful, and wonderful.
• 2. Talk about your favorite tv show of all time (or one of them)
• I am going to say that Glee is my most cherished TV show (seasons 1-3). I had never really grown up with a group like that before, and been so amused, and happy. The characters, the music, it really checked everything I would want from entertainment, and I close Glee because it is something I have watched more than anything else. I have seen every episode so many times, yet will continue to laugh and cry at them. It was just so positive, and what I needed when I needed it.
• 3. Talk about a movie, or an aspect of one that you think people don’t get or misunderstand
• The Tree of Life comes to mind, and I won't go off on the spiel that I'd like to, but I will say that movies like that really remind me that people not only see everything at face value, but furthermore, do not exactly think about them at all.
• 4. Talk about a film you think is underrated
• This may sound ridiculous but I want to mention Don Jon here. I am fully aware this came out within the last year, I don't care, it was brilliant.
• 5. Talk about a film you think is overrated
• Atonement, I always answer Atonement.
• 6. Talk about a show you think is underrated
• "Parks And Recreation is criminally underrated and one of the best ensembles on TV. They figured out how to make comedy out of people who like things, as opposed to the usual sitcom where it’s just people being awful to each other. Turns out passion can heighten things in the same way that"
• 7. Talk about a show you think is overrated
• A majority of shows that I start I do not find clever, funny, or worth wasting brain cells on... I didn't care for Mad Men, How I Met Your Mother, Adventure Time, a lot of what's popular and seemingly mindless to me.
• 8. Talk about a movie you love
• I love the movie Wicker Park. It's has the perfect premise, and is hauntingly thrilling each and every time.
• 9. Talk about a movie you hate
• I hate all sequels, because any decent movie does not need another.
• 10. Talk about a show you love
• Orange is the New Black caught me off guard, it completely blew me out of the water, and I hadn't really experience writing like that before. The ensemble, flawless casting, hilarious wit and charm, I doubt I will love watching a show as much as I loved OITNB, I remember grinning ear to ear.
• 11. Talk about a show you hate
• I don't watch shows I hate.
• 12. Talk about a performance you love
• 
  
• 13. Talk about a performance you hate
• The entire movie Choke comes to mind.
• 14. What’s a character, from film or television, that you relate a lot?
• I feel like the character Dr. Manhattan, from Watchmen, really resonates with me. I was speechless the first time that I saw Watchmen because it succeeded my expectations so greatly, and Dr. Manhattan. He left my chest aching, every line so calm and poetic, filled with thought, emotion, and bittersweet understanding.
• 15. What’s a movie you expected to like/love but ended up disliking?
• Be Kind Rewind, and The Green Hornet.
• 16. What’s a movie you didn’t expect to like but ended up loving
• Crazy, Stupid Love is the one I always say.
• 17. What’s a show you loved at first but ended up disliking by the end?
• Glee, Breaking Bad, anything I see all the way through...
• 18. What was the first movie or show that made you cry?
• First movie that I remember totally crying at is Moulin Rouge. Of course there's the fox and the hound and all that..
• 19. What was the last movie you saw in the theater?
• I think Pochahontas or one of those. I remember my mom driving us there.
• 20. What’s a movie that caused you to become scared of something?
• Signs.
• 21. Talk about a specific nightmare that a movie or show gave you
• One time I fell asleep on the floor right in front of the television while Donnie Darko was still on, I had the most fearful sleep and nightmares. I recall Donnie screaming at his therapist, "HE'S RIGHT THERE"
• 22. What do you think is the funniest movie ever made?
• I like subtle humor like The Royal Tenenbaums. Or just Scary Movie 3.
• 23. What do you think is the saddest movie ever made?
• To me, Seven Pounds is the saddest movie I have ever seen. The least desirable situation.
• 24. What do you think is the scariest movie ever made?
• I definitely have not seen it.
• 25. What do you think is the funniest show ever? (you can pick a specific episode if you want)
• Girls the pilot episode comes to mind.
• 26. What do you think is the saddest show ever?
• That's a good question.
• 27. What do you think is the best adaptation of a book? (film or TV)
• I hate to say Fight Club but I will, due to lack of experience. Fight Club does the book justice, and pulled off something I thought to be nearly impossible. David Fincher is incredible.
• 28. What do you think is the worst adaptation of a book?
• 
  
• 29. What do you think is the most well shot film or show?
• 
  
• 30. What’s a movie or show you love but often forget about?
