truth

1. The Abominable Snowman of society; a mythic legend which many swear by and is not without some minute traces of tangible evidence to add credence to the possibility of its existence.
2. What some seek to find, and others to escape.

They say the truth will set you free.
But I’ve been a prisoner to lies for so long I’ve practically become institutionalized.
Though I no longer pace between the gloomy corners of my shady cell, I do not believe that I can ever truly “be free.”
Not as long as I continue to fear my truth, while still taking refuge in my lies.

elementary school

An introductory academic program that leads students through the first four to eight years of their education. It is here where tomorrow’s young scholars are taught the essential “three R’s”; Reading, Writing, Recess, and of course gym….but that’s technically not an “R”…. is it?

For a perfect example of an elementary school, drive to that part of the neighborhood where all the speed limit signs say "slow children at play."

Personal Computer

A tenacious and vindictive machine, whose primary function in the domestic sphere at the conclusion of the 20th century was electronic solitaire, yet within one year of the 21st century literally held every aspect of human life in its hands.

My personal computer is way too personal.
