I Paint With Shapes

Harrisonburg week 10 or so

2011-04-25T11:54:00.003-07:00

Dear Everyone, This week has been a really good one. I spent this week reading "Jesus The Christ."if you haven't read this book before, do it! haha anyway this week i was reading that book and i was following the life of the savior. The last week of His life. It was really an eye-opening experience to follow the life of the savior. I learned many things which i never would have even thought about. I realized a lot of little details that i would have missed simply just reading the accounts out of the new testament. When i read about certain parts, it really made me think a lot. I really felt bad for Judas, for instance.It got me thinking about who Judas was. Because his weakness was money. Well someone else's weakness has been money. Joseph Smith...both of them had a big weakness to money, and the only difference between the two of them was the action that they made. One is now revered as the "son of perdition" and the other "has done more, save Jesus only, for the salvation of men in this world, than any other man that ever lived in it."The thing i thought of was: what is my weakness, and how can i keep from becoming a slave to the devil like Judas.I think i received my answer though during the week and i thought that I'd share that with all of you this week.You see, Judas, I feel, was a seeker for attention. He probably followed Jesus Christ because he had a huge following. I feel like it was because of the popularity of Jesus, he followed. Surely when the popular guy invites you to hang out with them in High School, you go. The thing is that Judas, i felt, didn't gain a testimony until after he had betrayed his master. So the lesson i could gain from him, is i need to gain my testimony right now, and not linger and procrastinate the day of my repentance. This easter was one to remember the divinity of our Savior, who reaches out to all and beckons to "come, follow me." I have a testimony that Jesus Christ is our Savior. He IS RISEN! he did it only because he loves us so so very much. i know that my weaknesses are there, so that my heavenly father can test me and see just how ready i am to become like him. i am, though, going to do all that i can RIGHT NOW to become more like him and i encourage you all to do the same. SincerelyElder Curtis Ross Hickman

Harrisonburg week 10 or so

2011-04-25T11:54:00.001-07:00

Week 5

2011-02-22T13:13:00.000-07:00

Dear Family And Friends,

Today is Tuesday...yes i know Monday is the normal day to get on the computer and type a letter to all...but yesterday was president's day...which means that all the local libraries would be closed. This last week has been quite eventful. Earlier in the week, we went into Charlottesville because my companion had a cold. That was a bummer for him. Because we didn't have an appointment it took us beyond hours to get in to see someone. This week was also transfer calls week. I just found out that I'm gonna be going to a new area called Harrisonburg. it's even farther west than my last area. really close to west Virginia. Anyways I have been going and trying to get some last minute work into Louisa and you'll be amazed to hear that Granny...The one who is refusing to be "Dunked" as she called it...COMMITTED TO BE BAPTIZED! What a trooper. 92 and still anxious to learn the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I'm so Happy For Her!!!!!!!
Elder Matthews Is sticking around in Louisa, So I'll have to keep in touch with him and make sure that Peggy and now Granny are Baptized so they can enjoy the Spirit Even More so now :)
Yesterday, On Preparation day, we had some of the Elders from the Rivannah area come down and spend the day with us. We played a game of Football and in one particular play, Elder LeSueur, One of the Rivannah elders, made a full body dive to 2 hand touch one Elder Thompson, The Other elder in that area. He ate the dirt, and the Horse Manueur and when he got up we were laughing pretty hard...that is until he said dude i think there's something wrong with my Shoulder.
The Rest of the P-Day was spent driving to Charlottesville and going to the emergency room, where we found out that he had separated his shoulder. All they could do for it though was give it a sling and give him some pain meds. It has been pretty good week though and the work has been more than amazing out here in little Louisa County. The Lord has plans for me in the area of Harrisonburg and i plan on doing all i can to prepare to carry out His plan. I am so grateful for all your support and your love and if there's possibly anything That i can do to be of assistance, Let me know. I Love each of you and would love to hear from you

Love,
Elder Curtis Ross Hickman

design

2010-09-22T15:32:00.000-07:00

i want to be a spaceman
i want to to cop
i want to fight fires with other brave men
i want to sell soda pop

i want to fly
i want to swim
and win gold medals all day long
i really want to win

i want my work to be the fire
that everyone remembers
i want to plant it in their hearts
let it be the embers

hard to find

2010-09-22T15:27:00.001-07:00

her eyes are shining brightly
everything about her might be
driving me off the walls

i can't tell her that i love her
...just be easier if things were
just little more crazy

cuz i know just how i feel
these feelings here are real
and it's killing me all the time

i look at her and she looks back
this train is coming off the tracks
it's easy when it's in your mind
and words aren't so hard to find

Get To Know You

2010-09-22T15:23:00.000-07:00

don't let this be a fling
i wanna make it though,
become your everything
i want to get to know you

you're all i ever want and more
you're what i came to this earth for
you and i should run away
that teenage 'love' is so cliche

he met this girl way back in school
the kinda girl that broke the rules
acted like one of the guys
but had to tell her parents lies

it's been two years a lot has passed
before, they moved things way too fast
things will work this time around
because his feet are on the ground

they're in the car
they're holding hands
they're listening to different bands

her heart's pounding as he sings
of lovey, dovey, dovey, dovey things

i want the presence of your love
your hand in mine fits like a glove
the glint in your eyes, they make me smile
it's been this way for quite a while

we're ahead of ourselves
for now this love's not true
unless can take things slow
let me get to know you

fools

2010-03-16T12:56:00.002-07:00

we were such a load of trouble, making a right mess
i can't even remember what we did that night, bless.
i broke my nose, you broke your wrist, but they could hardly see
i told those punks to shut up about my sister, and they said free country

cuz we were young and we were fools
us kids were breakin all the rules
we loved to have fun tiiiimes, i know
and we were too good to get caught
i miss those nights, i miss our old lives
a lot

that night i got to take you out, it left the greatest mark
we didn't want to go home yet, so we snuck into the park
we sat there talkin on the swings, and making life our own
it's best that we still do it now, so we are not... ALONE!!

cuz we were young and we were fools
us kids were breakin all the rules
we loved to have fun tiiiimes, i know
and we were too good to get caught
i miss those nights, i miss our old lives
a lot

the many days that we slept in, the countless times that we have sinned
the problems we caused, the times i took it on the chin.

cuz we were young and we were fools
us kids were breakin all the rules
we loved to have fun tiiiimes, i know
and we were too good to get caught
i miss those nights, i miss our old lives
a lot

cuz we were young and we were fools
us kids were breakin all the rules
we loved to have fun tiiiimes, i know
and we were too good to get caught
i miss those nights, i miss our old lives
a lot

2010-01-06T20:38:00.001-07:00

It used to just be the two of us
Not another to come between
Funny how things change
One little kiss, one word that you didn’t mean

But it was great, the fun with your friends
Where I’d gaze at you like fool
The times you’d give me the biggest grin
When I’d visit you at school

I said I’d write this poem
my heart isn’t in it though.
It’s lying on your front steps
With the wind and the snow

If there was any way I could’ve help this more
You know I would have
I feel like the hero, torn in two
Cuz you’re the one I couldn’t save

I guess I give
This isn’t my fault anymore
I’m over it
Really I am
Bye

Love Without Pain Is Not really Romance

2009-10-28T21:46:00.002-07:00

but the moments that hurt are the ones that are real, and without these horrible feelings we feel, it's no easy road, it's much more than it seems to become that someone that she see's in her dreams

These are the nights

A friend like you

2009-10-22T10:24:00.002-07:00

A moment with you
is like a crazy car ride
who knows how far we'll go
that way you held my hand
what if this is love

all i know is that a friend like you
doesn't come along twice
but you did to me what no other can do
and it's been super nice

I've learned over time
that most of the best things are a dream ending so ruel
but our friendship's not even close
it is sooooo cool

all i know is that a friend like you
doesn't come along twice
but you did to me what no other can do
and it's been super nice

remember when i took you to the homecoming dance
because both our dates backed out
and you cleaned my wounds when time got jealous
and smacked me about

all i know is that a friend like you
doesn't come along twice
but you did to me what no other can do
and it's been super nice

if i could find a better way i would
you know that i love you, and my word is good

all i know is that a friend like you
doesn't come along twice
but you did to me what no other can do
and it's been super nice

all i know is that a friend like you
doesn't come along twice
but you did to me what no other can do
and it's been super nice

yeahhhhh. it's been nice

Double Me

2009-08-04T12:46:00.002-07:00

the day goes along
and everything is wrong
life is frozen but the world is moving
and there's nothing left for losing

Notice Me

2009-07-25T20:38:00.003-07:00

we've been going for what seems like forever
and you need a drink
you ask me to help you out, and i do
did you ever stop to think.

maybe he cares like no other
maybe he can take your shiz
maybe he's genuine
and just maybe knows what love is...

you're cold, because the storm has soaked us
i give you the one last piece of clothing i have
you take it and move along
and did you ever stop to think.

maybe he cares like no other
maybe he can take your shiz
maybe he's genuine
and just maybe knows what love is...

i ask you to spend time with me
and it's the other way around
you'd rather be with someone else
and it runs me in the ground

maybe he cares like no other
maybe he can take your shiz
maybe he's genuine
and just maybe knows what love is...

how can it be that everybody
wants me to agree,
when i feel this way, i feel this way
but i'd never put that on your conscience

but i want you to know so bad
that i'm the one you want
don't just overlook this
give it some thought

maybe he cares like no other
maybe he can take your shiz
maybe he's genuine
and just maybe knows what love is...

maybe he cares like no other
maybe he can take your shiz
maybe he's genuine
and just maybe knows what love is...

repressing the repulsive

2009-07-09T21:09:00.003-07:00

life comes at you
and you take it
you put it behind you
but what goes on in between the two

i'll tell you

you won't want to do anything.
like you're body is hungry, yet empty
and nothing you can do can make you not be hungry
you just wanna lay in bed. just "watch" tv.
but you stare at the telly. incoherent of what's actually playing
you don't want to do anything
when you finally feel like you do want to do something,
its only so that you don't have to be told off for doing nothing

that's what it's like

then one day...
you go somewhere with your friends and you see someone
she's totally more boss than anyone ever. more stunningly beautiful
you forget that you've been hurt so greatly
it doesn't matter. she does now
and all of a sudden life is better

so you pursue...

she thinks you're cute, and you get confident
you're heart feels like it can be on top of the world
like no one can make you feel more special.
you never want to let her go

and then...

"I'm moving...
_____________...Where?
Texas.......
____________...So what do we do?
...I Dunno"

And she's gone,

Then the cycle repeats.

turning around

2009-06-21T13:28:00.002-07:00

once again i'm stuck at this cross roads
because i know that things are going to change
with you and me. i have a chance again
i knew that i would wait, just didn't think u might come round
i doubt that you will but i hope you do
it's just a dream
it's been a long shot. but i love you
i always have for some reason
even when i am speaking stupid and and i piss you off
i know that you are the the most important thing to me
i have a hard time figuring out, how i could be this way
nothing ever really worked out. and it's just so weird that i do.
but i do

days go bye

2009-06-16T15:46:00.002-07:00

days go by
i haven't got to say what i want to
so i'm going to now.

i hate you
i hate that there's nothing i can do about it
i hate that i couldn't win your heart
i hate that you never really loved me
i hate that i let myself love you.
i hate that i let my heart get cut in two
i hate that i still dream of you.
i hate that when i listen to any song, you're the first girl i put the song to
i hate that i was part of the plan
i hate that i don't know how to handle this
i hate that it's been so long since i let this out
i hate that i could easily move on, yet i still would rather have you back
i hate that i'm being held back because you're still here
i hate that i cried over you
i hate that i fell for you
i hate that i did track this year just to be with you
i hate that ur friend was just as cute yet i picked you

still

2009-04-06T18:17:00.002-07:00

freezing time in a moment was not a tough choice
but with who it was with, it was without voice
i was with a girl i still think i love
but it didn't got the way i thought it would've
i think about how time and again
how it was way back when
with no one but her to care about and enjoy
and make me feel like a giddy little boy
it's weird to recollect the way we met
"you're cute," she said.
"what do you expect."
now it's been over a year in the pas
i really wanted that relation to last
but when things cannot go the way planned
the world will bring us new friends
it's why i rethink that time we were alone
when the elevator could have been whatever we chose
i wished i was back there with you in my arms
i wished that i was back then
it can't be though so life will go on
and different opportunities will come along.

how do i handle this

2009-03-25T17:13:00.002-07:00

i hear one thing
you mean the another,
if it's all for this
why should i bother

when lies become life
things just go wrong
we can't talk like this
it just hasn't been that long

maybe it was rushed
and maybe it's too fast
but it's not like
i don't want this to last

think about it, our time together
here, then, and now
was it good enough for you
or should we take our bows

you mean so much to me
not just cause your face
things just happened
our lives have interlaced

come on i'm doing my best
but sometimes these just don't work
i'm doing the things i can
to not look the "jerk"

so maybe lots of stuffs going on in my mind
it what happens when you know you care
you'll do anything for that special someone
it's the least i can do to show i care.

jeez i sound like a sap
i freaking do this too much
i'll seriously be there
i'll be the one to make you blush

the one to make you happy
make things un-sad
our time together has been short
who cares, it's been rad

i know stop laughing,
nothing rhymed better than rad
it's some certain inevitable thing that comes
when your poetry is this bad

hear me out,
it's not that hard
my words are simple
i'm simply scarred

too many bad choices, situations, and luck
have made me this way
i don't want to lose you
because i just got back the "icing" to my day

things feel better
being around you,
life is cooler, and optimistic
just tell me the truth.

i'll accept it either way
i'd rather know up front
than anticipate wrong
and end up alone to walk the pavement

Birthday tune

2009-03-16T20:27:00.001-07:00

it's hard to write for who i miss
when life had been a black abyss
since i met you, it's has been bright
you've filled my soul up with delight

we've grown up in ways i never dreamed
i've learned things are not as they seemed
i've learned that people should not shove
i've learned how to fall in love

i've learned that life can be cruel
sometimes even unpleasant
but here's to you, a birthday present

you're the greatest girl a guy could ever ask for,
who's heart is pure and true
who'll know that from the start you mean
"i love you"

you are a good girl and you know
that one must make their choices
for the friends and ones you love
that is where your heart is

so here you go
i'm really done
creating such a piece
it's crap, it's quick, it's fun, i hope nice,
but hope you liked it, sheesh.

Random Night At The Computer

2009-02-22T21:35:00.004-07:00

I get on late one night.
think to myself how much need for change i have
think about how to start.
whether the mountain dew will be a change
also the face that it's a little late for new years resolutions
but its all random stuff anyway
my whole life is random. Spontaneous
not on edge, because nothing exciting is really happening
but at the same time you people would want to read this
because it's not all about the think you're doing on friday
or about who you will become in 20 years from now
the idea is that you need to decide what to do right now.
where you going to go.
who do you want to call, and admit that you've loved them for so long
who do you want to text and tell that you wish them the best.
what time do you want to go to bed
how long will you lay in bed listening to alarm clock and making up your mind when's the right time
what do you love to do.
what's your favorite video game
is there a way to not get a headache from the absence of dew.
random thoughts whizzing through your mind.
thoughts that wedge their way into the mind. constantly getting at you.
thoughts that are often ignored, because the future is too important.
so i will dwell on these thoughts, live for right now.
2 years away is a long time.

anyways...that's my thought

My Life...A Wreck

2009-02-12T07:39:00.007-07:00

if i were to compare my life to my car right now...it would seem that my car was a little late. it's recently been a wreck. i couldn't make a right turn. or a left. i was slipping all over the place. it's just a drag to know that there was no going back. so i had to over correct. did i take it too far? the only emotion around me is "god it doesn't matter what happens around me. long as everything else is okay." i talk to the only one who can calm me down right now. help is on the way. just chill out for a minute. i can't go back can i? so i just have to wait. wait for things to get better. and we'll get it fixed. long as your okay. that's not what i wanna hear.you're not helping by just saying it'll get fixed. i need to know that there's a way to do it. i have my life to think about. it needs to be fixed now. my life's outta whack now. but there's no going back. one way or another. i did this. i messed it up. me...me alone. and i need to make it right, no one else

2009-02-11T17:33:00.006-07:00

so pretty much i'm thinking of you
and your funny personality too
you make me laugh
you make me smile
i've missed you for a while

you sat on my lap
and it was uncomfy
i'm just glad my butt
wasn't too lumpy.

i love you
haha i do
but i doubt you think it back
cuz you say it's not true.

i'm talking to you on the phone
i'm upstairs on the computer...alone
we are talking about random stuff
you think my muscles are rugged and tough.

you're a sucker for a guy
i'm a sucker for a sucker
i hope you
don't ditch me for a trucker

i'm gonna sweep you off your feet
i don't know how yet
but i'll find a way....soon maybe
just don't be too hard to get

lemons are random
just like this poem
but we're cooler than the rest
and we're gonna show em.

you're not emo
neither am i
cuz we got each other
why the crap would we wanna die

the beatles were good
until john lennon came
and ripped them all off
in a scamming game

i feel bad that
i just ripped on your friend
but it's okay
because you're forgiveness, you'll lend.

i made you laugh.
i made you mad
i called john lennon stupid
and that was bad

i know you think i'm weird
jk i know you don't
you think i'm awesome
i don't even have to gloat

you like ostriches,
for some strange reason
thank god
it's not mating season

i'm gonna end this now
while i'm ahead.
i hope you enjoyed
what you just read

u remain anonmyous
just so you keep talking to me
i notice you all the time
but i never know what you see

i talk to you as if everything is alright
i know i promised
it wouldn't be like that.
we're better as friends

i dunno though

i still hurt when i see you with him
i don't think he's good enough
no one is though
which is a shame
i just wished i was
but i can't be after the things i've done
to you

still...
i look at you
that perfect smile
i think of the most perfect personality
and you come to mind

you...

waiting

2009-01-26T20:29:00.001-07:00

waiting...

i've been waiting

to see you again

i haven't seen you

since way back when

you held me

close to you

we hugged and were playful

and i wished it was true

that you really loved me

like i think i love you

but life's a bitch

and it takes two

so i'm chillin' in this lonely room

just thinkin' about life

and about why people use a knife

sometime i guess

it can temp everyone

when life kicks you in the balls

you want to give up

and let go of it all

but we all have to go through it

the hurt and the pain

so suck it up mister

get out in the rain...

show how tough you are

that no one can hurt you

and no one can make you feel

unworthy of them

remember the time

2009-01-26T20:28:00.002-07:00

have you even had one of those days at school

where you just get up

it's all habit

you go to class and sit in your seat

and do the same thing you always do

lunch comes. you get the same thing

the bell rings and you don't think of anything in particular

it's just another day...

nothing special happened

that was out of the ordinary.

you look back and think what happened today and your mind is

empty...

that's me so i thought i would just spread some words of wisdom

and maybe this post

will be the thing you remember today

yet again...

can u relate

2009-01-26T20:28:00.001-07:00

can u relate?

you wake up late

flop out of bed

get in your car

you're way past dead

it's too damn early

you go class

sit down, get your stuff out

and then...

there's this stupid kid

that's always got something smart to say

you just wanna punch the kid in his goddamn face

but you know he has no friends

and by knockin' his lights out

you just make yourself look like a dick

so you just take it...

the day goes on

you go to another class

and someone else has the cheek

to do something to you...

your already having a bad day

you don't need this today.

so you ESPLODE!

ya it's bad

random love

2009-01-26T20:27:00.003-07:00

random love

this random love

that i am in

is more intricated

than anything

we know how we feel

and what the risk is

but we both know

that it's worth it

and there's no knowing how far we'll go

we know that no parent

or friend or anyone else

could stop our small minds

from thinking the way we do

i mean what i say

and i hope you do too

when i say that i love you

so to the beautiful queen

that rules over my heart

of this random love

with random start.

am i

2009-01-26T20:26:00.003-07:00

am i

am i enough

for you to need

that "just because"

our love will feed

am i enough

that when you cry

i can be there

for your fears to die

am i enough

that when a trial

comes our way...

we take it together

and seize the day

i know it sounds hard

looking from here

but when your higher up

everything's clearer

there is a greener pasture

out there somewhere

but it's sure as hell not here

it could be anywhere

just have faith in me

i'll be right here to help you through

but am i good enough

that...is up to you

what we want

2009-01-26T20:26:00.001-07:00

what we want

goal setting is over rated

sometimes you think that having a life

means being popular, having a girlfriend(or boyfriend girls)

and absolutely zero strife

but that's not at all what it's about.

it's about doing something completely

GRANDE with your life...

like reaching out to one person

making them feel like they can be anything they want to be

that they can accomplish anything

and you'll be right there with them

the feeling of making them happy is enough

to make your own sad life bearable.

that all those nights when you just sit in your room

and lay on your bed

because there's no one who wants to hang out with you

but you know that this one person that you're there for

knows they can count on you to be there for them

whenever...

they know you will put down what you're doing to help them

not feel so alone

and not be so bored with life

that because you have this one totally devoted friend...'

that all those shitty days are there to remind you

of how special it is to have a good day

so reach out to someone

everybody could use the help

even us really big strong people

who can tie our own shoes

everyone needs that person that cares about them no matter what.

i'm there for you. you just have to find me

meeee

2009-01-26T20:24:00.003-07:00

me me me

today i learned something about the greeks

it said something to do with

personalities going with body types

first off i just have to say that that did NOT work for me

it said a lot of things that you would see on the outside

but that is not even me on the inside

inside...i am dynamite on a fuse

i'm a time bomb waiting for my time

i'm just waiting for my true feelings to submerse

but when you live in a society where

being yourself

isn't accepted you learn to go with the flow

i have learned otherwise

i have learned that i would rather not say anything

than say i'm someone i'm not

i'd rather lose a friend

or a girlfriend

over something like not associating myself with a clique

than just do what they want

i am my own person

i'm a hickman

i am me

and no one will stop me from being myself...

just thought i'd say that.

have a good day everyone

brain fart

2009-01-26T20:24:00.001-07:00

and my brain seems as if it's just turned off

i dunno about you folks

but i'm not upset about that :)

it's summer

Wooo!

so i don't know how good my blogs are gonna be cuz i'm not exactly

completely using my brain.

stormy seas

2009-01-26T20:23:00.005-07:00

Stormy Seas

i saw you today

it was a bad day,

but you made it all go away

you made my troubles cease

the stormy seas stopped destroying my insides

you brought back comfort and peace

you always pull it off

you lead me through the toughest storms

you are my lighthouse

you keep me safe and warm

i get butterflies when i touch your skin

i am speechless

you stroke my chin

i don't want to be anything but perfect for you

'cuz i don't ever want this feeling to end

no other feeling could be this true

you always pull it off

you lead me through the toughest storms

you are my lighthouse

you keep me safe and warm

i just want to stare into your beautiful eyes all day

but you call me back from the fantasy

you squeeze my hand so tight.

i squeeze yours back, and you know

i never want to let this go

you always pull it off

you lead me through the toughest storms

you are my lighthouse

you keep me safe and warm...

you keep me safe and warm

i wish it was mean to be

2009-01-26T20:23:00.004-07:00

for my eyes and hers only
Current mood:alone... miss u

i'm thinking about you. ryley. the woman who means everything to me...
and the night. one week ago. 8 days ago.
the day i saw you. it was so beautiful. seeing you again. seeing your lovely hair. those bug glasses ;)
you were just laying on the floor, in the bookstore...the kids section, and i wanted to lay on top of you
the elevator. the rush of it all. the intensity and the thrill of your touch. your kiss. your CHAPSTICK lol
you played with me and i wished i could've played with you more
(but then of course i was an idiot and had to go saying i didn't want my friend left out.)

when i saw you first
on that day
and the first time ever
i was wearing the girls short. you know the ones that like panty's lol
yea those ones. the blue track. the only one i ever fell at
i was really having a shitty day. speaking of which i had to take a shit.
i walked by you didn't even think i was going to see you anymore than that
but i think you said something along the lines of you're cute or something...
you were saying it to everyone of course. but i thought you were very much the same
so i kinda stood there. grabbed a handfull of ice and started tossing it over the grass :)
i didn't even know what to say to you. it's kinda strange i think to just tell a total stranger
they are so completely beautiful. but you were the first one to say something.
then...
you gave me a cookie :)
i wanted your number. and then i had to be polite so i asked your numbers
i put them both in there. "ry ry"
i guessi gave you my number...
and we talked and i dunno why but i just really wanted to talk to you
like all the time...and then that wasn't enough. i had to see you

i came and visited you
and we instantly connected. literally.
our first kiss was in your kitchen
i remember...your little mini kisses. I LUV THEM
then we explored your basement hehe. with only an hour right?
we really made the best of that time. then i went to that high school
just to be with you...and the damn thing cost a bunch for me to need to leave early haha
then you're parents said you couldn't be with me...
i guess we've said stuff em but...

i just can't believe i can't see you right now
i just want to hold you and be
right there with you
to feel your warmth. your touch.
your comforting touch
i feel safe with you.
everything feels less painful. less tense
but at the same time i am terrified
that i cannot be everything
for you. that i'm not perfect
i love you with all my heart.
no distance is too far away for me to love you
ryley. the girl of my dreams. i luv love lurv love love you!

letter to home

2009-01-26T20:23:00.001-07:00

i never actually got to thank you the other night

for all the help you were to me

you gave me a bed, a pillow and a warm blanket

and for that you are a sanctuary

you're always there for me

even when i don't want to be around anyone

or talk to anyone

you are the place i can go to let it all out

you always have been good at listening to me

and i can take out my anger on you

and you understand

you're quiet at times and loud at others

you've always got a room for me and my brothers

you get me what i "need"

and are a key essential for me to succeed

you have protection and keys and locks

but that's only to keep me safe

to keep me safe

i use you

and try not to abuse you

you're not perfect and neither am i

but we do all we can to make sure we get by

i do my part as best as i can

to make the place more spic and span

once again thank you for being there

when life was just too hard to bare

for being there when i was down

and keeping me safe and sound

and this so that all the world may know

that this is a place to learn and grow

in love...

2009-01-26T20:22:00.001-07:00

I don't know why

when i looked in your eyes

it was so different

than anyone elses

when i beheld you

my heart started skipping beats.

my life changed i think

i think it made everthing cease to sink.

and in the midst of all this turmoil and pain

i can't feel any thing

because you're in my life

and i all the things that siphen out the good

don't work on me

and it's because of you

it's true

i don't regret that i fell so fast.

because i know you'll catch me.

it's you and only you...

i tried to no let my walls come down

but when it came to the battle in my heart

i just couldn't hold it in.

my heartbeat was ramming into the gates

it could not even wait

to be yours...to serve you

to keep you happy and safe.

I'm one lucky guy

you'll say whatever

but it's up to me to determine

why i love her

-an original by Curtis Hickman-

with you again

2009-01-26T20:21:00.003-07:00

thought about you today

you were on my mind

eager to talk to you,

and just unwind

i bet you miss me

i already miss you

the days together, not even two

it wasn't a bad feeling though

it's something you expect to be sad about...

missing someone,

but it's not...it's one of the greatest feelings ever

because i know soon i'll be with you again...

someday soon.

baghead

2009-01-26T20:21:00.001-07:00

No Face

just sitting alone on the cold linoleum floor..

you don't want to do anything else

but sit…

sit and be alone

because being alone you're safe

like an ostrich, head buried in the sand

safe from the terror of the crowd

safe from screaming aloud

so you remain

remain alone by yourself

you've never had to hide from yourself

you'll never be neglected, discarded…ignored

by yourself you'll never be put second

you won't be hurt, betrayed, or deceived

you'll never be let down or blown off

or be anything short of received

so you sit and you wait, with this bag on your head

you think and you wonder why

and question yourself over and over

how people can immerse themselves in this lie

do they do it for you, because they actually care

or is it just for them

and so you remain with this bag on your head

and leave your life governed by whim

Poetic...not

2009-01-26T20:20:00.004-07:00

Perfect (btw it’s not as poetic as i’d hoped)

what is perfect.

perfect is not human

perfect is out of this world.

perfect is not easy

to be perfect is bold

i strive to be perfect for you

it's impossible i know...

but i'm reaching for it

for you

i made mistakes and i still do

i always will

it is what keeps us humble

keeps us human

and it shows that you love someone

when you're willing to change yourself

for the one you love

i shouldn't hold you back

i shouldn't push you forward

i should just hold you in my arms

hold you to my chest

and you'll listen.

listen to my heart beating softly

the cold wind rushing around our bodies.

listen to the faint, but lucrative whisper..."i love you"

so yet again. being perfect.

it doesn't matter. i think i get it now

being it isn't achievable here.

we're human. we must remember

just know that i will do all i can

for you

i will not hold you for who you were then

i won't tell you to be someone you're not

i will always care. always listen

i will tell you my secrets

i won't push you away

so when you see how imperfect i am

just know. i'm still willing to change

because i know it is the best thing

because it's for you

Emily :)

2009-01-26T20:20:00.003-07:00

emily’s poem

it's time like these

on special occasion

where i get to ponder

about our equation

you're right at my side

right here for me.

i will be here for you

as soon as you need

our love has just blossomed

it's one of a kind

this is better than anything

i had in mind

i have to say

it's a special day

so that you can remember the way

that you got this cool frame

and a cute little poem

no really...it's lame

but just know that i love you

a lot more than you think

but that's our little secret

i know right? wink wink (:

Gazing...

2009-01-26T20:20:00.001-07:00

Gazing

staring into your beautiful, twinkling eyes

you are looking back at me

the most joyful and in love

anyone can be

it is sad that you think it will end

as we have have only started.

to think there are only a few weeks

until we will be parted.

but i don't want it to end there

it's going to be okay

i'll be holding you again...

soon again...someday

so keep your chin up

don't think about it too much

'cuz i'm the soldier here

i'm s'posed to your crutch

i'll hold you up when you are down

so you can be amazing

to help to help them

will all the friends you're raising

the fire that's your eyes

continuously blazing...

that is why i look at you

unable to stop gazing

reunion

2009-01-26T20:19:00.002-07:00

i’m on the verge

Reluctantly she looks back to me, unable to shake the past

You never expected to hear from me again, with such a rocky journey

Luckily, everyone gets a chance to start over, new...fresh

Everyone, even you, even me, even the guy who was dumb enough to let you go once

Your decision is what determines our fate though and this time i won't dissappoint

...just read it

2009-01-26T20:19:00.001-07:00

stirring

a dark cold world surrounds us

where anything can happen

where life doesn't end sweetly everytime

maybe there's no end though. maybe just maybe this time you'll notice me again.

i write all the time, yet nothing seems good enough to be worthy of you again

reality sets in, and so does doubt

she's so much better off without you

you can't be all that she needs

but you buck up...write something new

maybe this ones good enough for you to want me back

i must up the courage to tell you, and no response.

doubt floods back in. this time theres a reason.

does she care for real.

you just bore your soul...if she wanted to you back she would've told you

she knows how bad you want her.

yet...nothing

fear fills the heart. all this time effort. thought. love. wasted.

what do you do it for... just try for things out of reach. and then you realise.

the things out of reach mean that you aren't like every other person.

it means in spite of all the hard times you have to suffer...

you're the stronger one who's actually man enough to face the fear right in the eye.

you sit up straight and stop slouching and actually tell her again...this time with confidence.

you get your answer and you can go on another day. stronger. better.

in love.

Blinking

2009-01-26T20:18:00.004-07:00

...it happens in the blink of an eye

one day...

the turn of your head

it's as quick as that.

to lose someone precious...

to meet the love of your life.

to stop breathing

or to start again.

when you feel like you can appreciate everyone of those moments is when you're better than the rest.

too bad i'm not there... doubt i ever am gonna be.

so i hope you can wait up :)

Eternal Hopelessness

2009-01-26T20:18:00.003-07:00

eternal hopelessness

you can't get over her
you'd rather have a car fall on you
because the pain of every body in your body being crushed
can't even be as great as the ache in my heart right now

i barely even know you...
you remind me that all of the time
but yet i am fixated...on you
and i can't get it out of my head

i get told it's not worth it...
and the heartache only proves them wrong
the endless trials with no reward make me strive more
and the hopelessness remains

everyone hates me
and it confuses you
because although you beleive them...
you want to believe me

there is no way to say what i feel...
only that it's undescribable
yet i am naive enough to try
and think i am able

i can't explain this pain...this sorrow
this un-needed pain
this terrible hole in my heart
too wide to mend...

crying out inside
a soft sob, no one can hear.
i wish you could but you are too worried about being attached.
and so i remain...alone

you have too much good going for you to take a chance with me
you have too many friends who don't want anything to do with me
too much against me...
and then...there's me...and quite frankly my side doesn't seem like a winner
but i'm not a quitter...i just don't
i don't give up
that's why i allow myself to feel so much pain because i am really dumb enough to go on
i know you think i am too
doesn't matter
i'm not giving up on you
don't think i'll ever come to either...
i don't want to...becuase i really do care. i'm not some clone who says it...
nice guys finish last...right now that's definatly me...

A Days Work

2009-01-26T20:18:00.001-07:00

a days work

too long have i waited
to see you again
every emotion has been experience since we've been apart
the best one was gained

the emotion of true happiness
the one you showed me
can cancel all the others out
will let you be free

the last night that i saw you
you were so amazingly, breathtakingly beautiful
your smile so perfect
your hugs................ :(

you're so far away
yet every fiber in me want you right here
next to me
we could be a team

our connection
is something too great
to just overlook
greater than in any book.

miss arizona... i really can't get you outta my head

My Story

2009-01-26T20:17:00.001-07:00

My Life Short Story

................

So this is my story. It's really an
un-spiced up story about me. But it's true and it's to the point. I
was born in a small town in England, by the name of Aylesbury, where
I was raised until I was at the age of five. In those years, I
learned to walk, but never to crawl. I also learned how to bookshelf
climb, and be a big bully of a big brother. I witnessed many things,
like watching my Mum give my Dad a nice bruise with a remote. They
never got along well, so by the time I was two, they'd had enough.
They ended the marriage and my Dad wasn't too happy because his kids,
me and my brother Jordan, would only get to see him once a week. He
went kinda crazy...lot's of crazy life. Anyways my Mum was a convert
to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and she had the
missionaries over all they time. They all loved her. One in
particular guy loved her more than the rest though. His name was
Boyd. He was a guy from the states. Their short and simple story was
that after his mission, he flew back over to England... blah blah
blah... He picked her up, and took her back here to visit. She liked
it,and as you can tell, and she decided to fly us all over here and
marry Boyd. Well we were poor...very poor. Money was tight, but
luckily we had a cool neighbor in American Fork, who gave us a
Nintendo. It was so amazing to me a Jordan. We were a couple kids who
could be pleased with the simplest of toys. That house was a lot of
fun, but it just wasn't big enough for us though. Boyd and my Mum
were very much in love, but we already had a full house, and they
wanted a couple kid right? So our next house was built for us in
nowhere else better than the famous PROVO...that's right. Mormon town
central. I loved it there though. Me and Jordan grew up probably 8 of
our years there, and we experienced a lot there. Both of our paths
were different though. We were very English, and for Jordan that was
a good thing, but for me it was another reason to pick on me. So I
grew up there and had a lot of people who made fun of me, and told me
to go back to England. Jordan on the other hand...everyone like him,
and he helped them to make me feel bad. Things changed for me when we
moved out to Riverton. We needed to move because Boyd was finding it
hard to live 50 some odd miles from work, and drive that trip
everyday. So we got a house maybe 25 minutes or so closer in a small
neighborhood, where we got to kind of start again. This time was
different for me. I hit a major growth spurt, and I started to play
football. It was right before school got back in. All the football
guys helped me get a little more popular, but I never really felt
like I wanted to be a part of a clique like that, so I still just did
my own thing. And everyone was a little cooler. Well as you can sense
a pattern in my life, we needed to upgrade...again. We built a new
house, but this time my parents liked the city a lot more so we moved
up the road to Herriman. It wasn't a big deal. I still went to the
same school. And then High School happened. I started off in the
band, and it seemed like some huge clique...well cliques aren't my
thing, so I steered clear of that. And I got into some trouble with a
senior in my sophmore year, and everyone in the band ended up hating
me...I guess there's a lot of people in the band. Anyways...I kept my
head down, and in the spring I took up track. I guess I turned out to
be pretty good, cause I went to state the first year I tried it. I
did it again the next year too, but I was really good at that, but
not so good at keeping my love life moving along. I was a really big
screw up with girls in my junior year. Just got into doing things
that I wasn't proud of with lot's of girls, and messed up my life. It
just made me really miserable. In my senior year so far, I've come a
long way though. I met a girl named Emily who was an absolutely
amazing girlfriend to me, but she moved to Idaho, and things happened
that just made the relationship need to end. I was back to my old bad
habits after that until I pulled my head out of my butt, and started
to make restitution, and change my life. I met a girl that is
absolutely positively amazing, but I know that dating around is the
best thing for us, because I'll just end up ruining it, knowing me.
But I've really had a helluva ride, and in only a short 17 years.

The Lost Mic.

2009-01-26T20:15:00.004-07:00

thinking of you
tears me up inside.
because it's totally hopeless, for us to be
you've broke down all my pride

you're the one i think i love.
yet the "us" we'll never be
why can't i just forget about it
pack up, end it...flee

it's because i don't give up on you
i won't and never will
just give me the chance to show you
that i will not fail

it's such a long shot i know
that so much doth go against
you taking just one shot on me
and giving me your trust

i'll show you how i can.
with all that i can do
to prove to you that i'm sincere.
and i'll always be true

there's no way i'd force it
i just hope that you can hear
my cry for you, although it's quiet
to listen for me, my dear

it's really lame and so am i
writing such a thing
but it's what i do and how i tell
the things i cannot sing

but to you, this one's for you.
you know exactly who you are
that you is all that i desire,
when i wish upon a star.

Hey What's Up

2009-01-06T12:24:00.000-07:00

This Is the Beggining Of It's Long And Healthy Life of Me.
