Catharsis (a poem)

Catharsis is a term in dramatic art that describes the "emotional cleansing" sometimes depicted in a play as occurring for one or more of its characters, as well as the same phenomenon as (an intended) part of the audience’s experience.

Catharsis
---------------------


Catharsis 
Essence of purging 
All those emotions 
Through a story that isn't your own 
A play of expertly written play wright 


You laugh 
You cry 
You feel fear 
A real cycle of a true play watcher 


At the end 
Wine is sipped 
Odd spinach/broccoli cheese wraps
Each of them hastily devoured
As if they are made for super heroes with a super power built in

Actors come out
Ooo ahhhhh
That man's alive
That woman didn't really do the deed
Minor sigh of relief as it felt so real

Good jobs and pats on the back
Are passed around like
Like its a group of stoners
Passing a bong who say, "Oh wow that is good"

Life continues
Like a clock
Expertly crafted
Because relief was sought
And obtained

Don't over think things (repeat)

Hey readers,  I know crazy? On my end things are good I am sitting in my usual special study place in the Micron Simplot building here on the boise state campus. Feels like a giant weights been lifted off my shoulder with that test behind me considering it feels like as of late I have been doing nothing but drilling that commercial law material into my brain. Whew let's just hope that all that studying will pay off in the form of a very solid grade for class that would rock.  Got out of my math discussion group which seems to be utterly useless because they don't actually teach you anything its just doing a worksheet with a bunch of people that don't have a single clue what is going on. Okay not everyone doesn't have a clue but still its the blind leading the blind. Than met up with my friend William which was awesome it was great catching up and shooting the shit about movies, music and the stuff during our summers that occurred.  Tonight's another BSU g...

Introspection time and a good song

Readers: Hey everyone I hope all's well on your end of things. Today I am feeling "off" and not exactly sure why that is the frustrating thing. One of those off feelings where the drive to seriously tackle anything is more or less grounded. I mean earlier got here about 8:40 and literally messed around on face book instead of getting on math or studying political science. Part of it I think is the acceptance that I've worked my ass off in business statistics and literally I think there is no way that I am going to pass it even if pigs learn to fly and all the sky for a day rains mountain dew (two impossibilities). Thank god my digital camera where I left it on the bus was still there *brushes brow* I think a big part of things is the fact that I haven't heard back from Walmart about when the interviews will be done so as many of you know the getting a job; even more so an internship because that will help me when I graduate from Boise State in the long run.

Everything Happens For A Reason

Readers, Hello there I hope you're doing well. On my end, I had a wonderful Thanksgiving with my Inlaws and ate far too much yummy turkey, and vegetables and lastly of course desert. Celebrated an early birthday with them which was nice, my birthday cake was a Pumpkin Pie which as many of you know I love Pumpkin! Yes, Ruth says, "You like Pumpkin everything too much". I beg to differ from Pumpkin bread, pumpkin cookies, to pumpkin cheerios (which were actually legit, I hope general mills rereleases them next year because they were way to good to just be a one year thing). Feels like I dragged my birthday out after that went out and celebrated an early birthday with my good friend Ross and his girlfriend whom may or may not want to be named here so I wont for the sake of the blog but they're so happy together *smiles* I am glad love has found another one of my friends, I digress we went out to Bodovinos for delicious wine, desert, and cheese. Of course I eventu...
