Dear Jordan,

This is the story of the first and last time I ever fell in love with the beautiful, fascinating woman who inhabits my soul. I’m pretty sure you’re going to leave me tomorrow so I better say this while I still have the chance. Whether we’re together or apart, you will always be the woman of my life. The only man I will ever envy is the man who wins your heart, and I will always believe that it is my destiny to be that man. If we never see each other again, and you’re out walking one day, and you feel a certain presence beside you, that will be me loving you wherever I am.

Or do we live in the world we create in our minds? – Charlie Bellow, My Sassy Girl

Good morning, Hell-A In a land of lotus-eaters, time plays tricks on you. One day you’re dreaming, the next your dream has become your reality. It was the best of times, if only someone had told me. Mistakes were made, hearts were broken, harsh lessons learned. My family goes on without me, while I drown in a sea of pointless pussy. I don’t know how I got here. But here I am, rotting away in the warm California sun. There are things I need to figure out, for her sake at least. The clock is ticking. The gap is widening. She won’t always ‘love me no matter what’. – Hank, Californication

Hell-A magazine blog number one. Hank hates you all. A few things I’ve learned in my travels through this crazy little thing called Life– one, a morning of awkwardness is far better than a night of loneliness. Two, I probably won’t go down in history, but I will go down on your sister. And three, while I’m down there, it might be nice to see a hint of pubis. I’m not talking about a huge 70’s playboy bush or anything, just something that reminds me that I’m performing cunnilingus on an adult. But I guess the larger question is, why is the City of Angels so hell-bent on destroying it’s female population? – Hank, Californication

It’s kinda sad, really
Guess I’m the sort who linger
When the credits roll
I still can’t leave the picture
The picture I hold
In my heart

There’s a road that’s left to travel
There’s bridges left to burn
There’s songs I haven’t written
Lessons left to learn
There’s reasons still to fight
There’s you to kiss goodnight
So hold on
Hold on tight

It makes me mad, really
Wish I could blame a twister
Or a hurricane
Or my pesky sister
Wish I could blame away this feeling
In my heart

- Ginger Foutley, As Told by Ginger

Hello stranger, you came just in time
I look for your face in the crowd, or in line
Hello stranger, not a moment too soon
See, that old picture’s fading in the drawer of my room
Now toys have gone lost, baby teeth have come loose
There were accidents involving stitches, spilt juice
Report cards were shown, and one time I got sick
But it’s nothing I couldn’t catch you up on real quick
Hello stranger, I saved you a place
And it hardly seems strange now that I’ve seen your face

Jonathan Trager, prominent television producer for ESPN, died last night from complications of losing his soul mate and his fiancee. He was 35 years old. Soft-spoken and obsessive, Trager never looked the part of a hopeless romantic. But, in the final days of his life, he revealed an unknown side of his psyche. This hidden quasi-Jungian persona surfaced during the Agatha Christie-like pursuit of his long reputed soul mate, a woman whom he only spent a few precious hours with. Sadly, the protracted search ended late Saturday night in complete and utter failure. Yet even in certain defeat, the courageous Trager secretly clung to the belief that life is not merely a series of meaningless accidents or coincidences. Uh-uh. But rather, it’s a tapestry of events that culminate in an exquisite, sublime plan. Asked about the loss of his dear friend, Dean Kansky, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author and executive editor of the New York Times, described Jonathan as a changed man in the last days of his life. ‘Things were clearer for him,’ Kansky noted. Ultimately Jonathan concluded that if we are to live life in harmony with the universe, we must all possess a powerful faith in what the ancients used to call ‘fatum’, what we currently refer to as destiny. – Dean, Serendipity

Trust me, you don’t want to. ‘Cause when you find the right person to first kiss, it’s everything! – Alex Karev, Grey’s Anatomy

His hello was the end of her endings
Her laugh was their first step down the aisle

She said instantly, she knew
She was a question to be answered
And his answer was, ‘I do.’

No matter where life takes you, big cities, small towns, you’ll inevitably come across small minds. People who think that they’re better than you are. People who think that material things, or being pretty or popular, automatically make you a worthwhile human being. I’d like to tell today’s youth that none of these things matter unless you have strength of character, integrity, a sense of pride. And if you’re lucky enough to have any of these things, don’t ever sell them. Don’t ever sell out. So when you meet a person for the first time, please don’t judge him by his station in life. Because you never know, that person might just end up being your best friend. – Joey Potter, Dawson’s Creek

Destiny is a name often given in retrospect to choices that had dramatic consequences. – J.K. Rowling

She chose to walk alone
Though others wondered why
Refused to look before her
Kept eyes cast upwards toward the sky

She has no companions
No need for earthly things
Only wanted freedom
From what she felt were puppet strings

She longed to be a bird
So she might fly away
She pitied every blade of grass
For planted they would stay

She longed to be a flame
That brightly danced alone
Felt jealous of the steam
That made the air its only home

Some say she wished too hard
Some say she wished too long
But we awoke one autumn day
To find that she was gone

The trees they say stood witness
The sky refused to tell
Yet someone who had seen it said
The story played out well

She spread her arms out wide
Breathed in the break of dawn
She just let go of all she held…
…and she was gone.
