Woman On Mars
I'm from another world. A dying world. There's only a few of us left.
I've been abandoned here against my will, but I've tried to make the
best of it. No one speaks my language, and the communication devices
have failed. My energy is slowly being drained by the resources of this
realm: hatred, fear, selfishness and greed. I've opened my windows to
absorb from the sun, but there is no light. This land is barren, and
there is nothing to see. My door is unlocked, but most are too afraid
to come in. Such a shame though, the indigenous would love my place.
It's warm and inviting, full of compassion, tolerance, and life. But I
haven't lost hope for my people. They're here. Lost and trapped, just as
I am. And if you're reading this, if you can translate it, make
yourselves known. Show yourselves, and don't be afraid of the demons
that threaten our existence. Fight them. Defeat them. Restore our world.
I feel so alone here, and I want to go home...

Terms Of Endearment
What romantically lures
you to the opposite (or same) sex? Is it his/her sense of humor, or
artistic aptitude? Nah… Is it his/her kindness, compassion, personality,
or fondness of children? Nope, nope, nope… Those are the kind of
characteristics that connect you to your friends… Hmm, let’s see now, is
it his/her eyes, smile? Well, Maybe… Is it their lips, washboard abs,
thick thighs? Yeah, yeah, probably. See, now we’re getting somewhere…

If you think about it, you could probably find the same positive traits that you love about your friends in your significant other. But you’re not feelin’ your friends like that, are you? Can’t put your finger on it, but something sets those two relationships apart. What is it?!
Ever
wonder how you can meet a man/woman that is so perfect; Smart, funny,
compassionate, handsome/beautiful, thoughtful, affectionate, everything
you want, but he/she still doesn’t do it for you? You just can’t see
yourself committing to them, but all your friends and relatives are
saying, “What’s wrong with you?! Anybody would kill to have -insert name here-” But to you, it’s like they’re missing something… What is it?!
Well, I’ll tell you what they’re missing: The it factor. ‘It’ is usually something that arouses you (in whatever way) about your gender of preference. Whatever makes you say, “damn!” is your ‘it’
factor. That one little profane word can elevate your friend to your
potential husband/wife in a matter of minutes LOL... My point is, the
only thing that seems to separate a platonic friendship from an intimate
relationship is attraction...
Aggression is what
does it for me. Now, I’m not saying that I want a man that’ll slap my
head up against a wall, but rather one who can take charge of a
situation; a protector. I like men that are dominant and in control,
without being chauvinistic (when it comes to the way he
approaches/handles me.) Don’t know why, but that’s my ‘it’ factor…
What’s yours?

The Void
The space between light and dark, joy and sorrow, life and death.
The “gray area.” I hate gray areas.
Yet here I am, lost and confused. Unfulfilled. Cold. Indifferent.
What am I doing wrong? All I want is to love and be loved. That’s it.
But the harder I try, the farther I drive people away.
And I always end up back in this space.
This space between light and dark, joy and sorrow, life and death.
The “gray area.”
I hate gray areas...

Holy Matrimony?

America is supposed to be "the land of the free." And if this country allows homosexuals to work and pay taxes as US Citizens, then they should be allotted the same legal rights as EVERY other US citizen. Denying their community the right to legally commit will NOT stop them from being gay, so what difference does it make? It seems a bit unfair to me, to run an allegedly diverse country from an extremely narrow viewpoint. I thought laws were made with the intent of protecting this nation, and its people. Not to ostracize those that don't conform to a personal opinion of "normality." Who are we to judge?
