Life and death in the draw of a bow

I found this picture while doing a random search.

And just thought it was amazing.

Here's the text that was found with the words:

The saw was like a violin

Except that, instead of music,

Each draw of the bow

Brought relief

By the way, Jesus loves you

I found this on russelsteapot.com and just knew that I had to post it into my blog.

Goes to show how much Jesus loves us.

I know that romance brings out the beast in you, Marc-the jackass

Alright, so I' have to say a public apology to my best friend, Alex. It's not her fault that she has been getting to caught up in Marc. Sure, he's cute enough.

I forgive you for completely ignoring and leaving me yesterday, Alex!

And now I realize that she isn't the enemy here, Marc is. He's been treating me like a piece of shit. Well, maybe in his eyes it doesn't look like that, but you should hear the things that says to me! I do not even want to write them down here. My time is too valuable to write down all of the thoughts that belong to that spineless imp.

On top of the "jokes" and personal jabs that he makes to me, he makes it obvious that he doesn't ever want to talk to me on the phone! For example, I called him today and we talked (if you can call his speaking that) for about twelve minutes. Then he abruptly stated that he HAD to go. To watch a movie and practice his guitar.

Lies.

Everyone else that I know who calls him says that they can't get him to shut up when they're talking to him! Jesus Christ, what the hell did I do to be treated like this?!

He actually was pretty nice to me before I introduced him to Alex. Then for some reason he decided to chance the way he treated me/acted around me.

I guess that romance brought out the beast in him.
At least, I hope so. Then he has a chance of becoming a decent homo sapien again.

Still hoping to create a voodoo doll, here. If anyone knows a good book or something, be sure to let me know.

In this case, I need all the help I can get.

What light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Marc is the damned sun.

Does anyone else know what it feels like to be shunned by your own best friend because she'd rather talk to her cute new boyfriend over you, regardless of the fact that she's been blabbing to him for the past three hours?
And they just became a couple, oh what..on Sunday? So, on day one of your friends new found relationship, she'll give you and him equal shares of her time, but once day two comes up....screw the best friend! You had your chance to have your last meaningful conversation together for the next few months, and now you're going to be tossed into a corner like a stinky old pair of boxers.

Then, once things start to get rocky in the love boat, she'll come crawling back to you in a mess, begging her "best buddy for EVER!" to help her figure out why things are beginning to crumble and pleading that you'll drop whatever unimportant shit you were doing to comfort her in her time of need. Forget yourself! Come help ME out because I'M your BEST FRIEND and just LOVE spending time with you!

What will you do?

I plan on sitting back in my reject corner and watching, waiting, for all of the above paragraph to happen. I know it will, it's just a matter or when.
Then, when it finally does begin to fall apart and she comes crying to me, I'll just be sitting in my own happy little world and tell her that since she completely and udderly tossed our friendship aside for some good looking guy, she should go back and talk to him about her problems.

I'm done being used and discarded. I think it's time that I do something about all of this so that she'll realize that if she wants our friendship to stay this strong that she needs to spend some time with me.

Some form of blackmail should do nicely. Or a voodoo doll.

Anyone know how to make one of those?

On A More Personal Note....Happy Intimate New Year

Sure, it's a New Year. New beginnings, new friends, new relationships, new shoes...the list is full of all sorts of "new's".

But, one can't help but wonder...what's your best friend's potential boyfriend really like? I mean, sure he's one of the cutest guys you've seen in a long time and he's got a pretty good sense of style, but once you get passed all of that outer packaging....what's he made of?

My first impression of him was a laid-back, easygoing, outgoing, happy go lucky kind of guy who just wanted to have a good time and hang out.

A person's intuition, however, goes much deeper then outward appearances and first impressions.

The better I've been getting to know Marc (spelled with a fucking C) the more I've been beginning to wonder--what's he hiding? And why?

Everytime I see him that feeling of discomfort and a hidden past or motive gets stronger, and I can't seem to figure out why.
Was he molested as a child?
Is he secretly gay and extremely sensitive about it?
Does he get verbally taunted at school sometimes? [Just a side note-he's not exactly a tall guy. He's 16 and only about five foot five. Only Jesus himself knows whether or not he'll grow]

I'll keep my eyes open, especially since my BFF is too busy using her eyes to oogle Marc.
