Terrance Robb: Archive

Here's a story I wrote in 2006.

I found it in the 'drafts' folder of my old email address. I left this verbatim, so there's bound to be a misspelling somewhere in there. Terry Robb Short Story Creative Writing/Poetry One sultry afternoon, he sat in a daze staring at the cloudy sky. A piece of rain fell from the clouds above and struck him lightly on the forehead. His eyes widened in shock and he arose to run home, eager to...

Scrape your knee; it is only skin

I’m blind to what everyone else can seem to see without any issues. Why can’t life feel like great music…

Some people are inappropriately represented via being recorded and seen by others. In their purest form, in person, they could probably amaze you… but such high expectations have been put on what one sees recorded that it becomes insignificant. This isn’t the subjects fault, nor is it the body inspired by said subject. Somebody bears witness to something—is amazed by it. They...

A strange thing happened to me today. I felt depressed, but I enjoyed it a little. That’s not to say I’m into feeling down or anything, at least not that I know of. But it was sort of a comfort zone for me. I knew how to handle it, and so I just sort of bathed in it and let it become something positive. I know that this is sort of depressing in and of itself, but not to me. I get...

I’ve done a lot of thinking these past few months (scary, right?). I’ve come to different conclusions and brought up twice as many questions. Fortunately, I’m not alone in that, because questioning your surroundings and yourself is a big part of being a human being. Things are alright. I’m not quite as naive as my former self; Therefore I don’t really become let down...

Well I came here to say one thing or another about my life, which resulted in my redesigning the blog a bit. I suppose I can say that things are well for me as it stands… unless we’re talking about my financial situation. Tomorrow (later today, after sleep) I’ll be going up to the Monroe area to apply at a warehouse, as well as put my info into a temp agency to help me find a...

I’m working on a progressive rock/metal-styled song. So far, as a baseline, I’m going to have the Intro/verse go: 3 bars of 7/8 time signatures, and one of 8/8. For the bridge, I’ll be using a 3/4 time signature, and the chorus will likely be in 4/4. This should be a fun project, because I’ve never written using time signature changes before. Hope to have examples up...

Finding peace among the chaos… at the core of humanity lies life, and by that I mean what’s beneath extroversion, beneath even our conscious thoughts. I’m talking about who we are and how we’re all connected. All that I ask of humanity is that you take just a moment in your life to find this peace that lies in knowing that you’re gonna be okay. Put aside everything...

Myself at the time of this post, 12/23/2009 2:53 PM. Tired again. This morning, my body tried to make up for lost sleep by forcing me to sleep through my alarm for 30 minutes—though at this point I had gotten enough hours of sleep to not have to worry about being tired. I’m starting to wonder more and more about the REM cycle, & other cycles of sleeping and how...

Myself at the time of this post, 12/21/2009 3:28 PM. Today has been more eventful than yesterday; unfortunately I’m a bit more fatigued than I was then. I’m in a more normal mood today, but I’ve been tending to doze off at inopportune times (AKA in the parking lot). With a lack of sleep comes a lack of performance… and a lack of an attention span. More mistakes...

Myself at the time of this post, 12/21/2009 11:26 AM. Things are quiet… in a certain sense. I’m resting in a haze of would-be clarity. The things running through my mind today are blurred versions of very clear thoughts. I did not get enough sleep last night. I was kept awake by a gnawing critter somewhere in my quarters; its persistence infallible as I try quelling the noise...

You ever get the feeling that you’re tasking someone when you do something as simple as ask them a question? When you’re trying to help them, and they either brush you off or critique you instead of thank you? Ever feel like immense pressure is being put onto you under little or no pretense to just figure things out, and do it yourself? I feel like everyone else here is favored above...

♪~When will it end?

Another Monday. I’m not sure what it is about the first day of the workweek that puts people on edge, but it really never fails to do so. Sadly enough, I’ve fallen victim to the same phenomenon. I suppose it could just be that I haven’t had the chance to get in a few full nights of sleep in a row for a while. Or that I just didn’t jump-start into productivity at the early...

I went to pay my respects today, to a girl whom I didn’t know as well as some, but who I have a lot of respect for—respect rooted in not only the massive amount of lives she touched, but also in the fact that not a single person has a negative thing they could say about her. The reason I’m feeling a little depressed has something to do with the people I saw today. I bumped into...

Feelings of uselessness are starting to set in once again. How can I go from, one day (yesterday), having a get-it-done attitude, and actually accomplishing a lot, to today, accomplishing almost nothing and disappointing/annoying people? Do I have multiple personality disorder, or am I just over analyzing things again? I’m way too sensitive, and I don’t know why the hell that is. It...

Sorry. I’ve been very busy lately. A little stressed, but not the usual kind of stress. More so the kind of stress associated with massive amounts of new things in my life. It’s great and it sucks a little at the same time. I’m still constantly bombarded with thoughts of self-doubt. Many, many of these thoughts find their way into my mind. If I weren’t handling things as...

Listening to some of beardyman’s latest stuff from YouTube. I always enjoy beardyman. I haven’t worked at all on the new layout today. And I’ll be out of town tomorrow. I guess we’ll see about getting set up to put the layout together this week and put it up. I’ve spent most of the day in my head today. So as far as blog posts go, this one shall remain boring.

I’ve been a bit busier than usual. Today at work, I spent most of my time working on the new layout for http://terrancerobb.com/. It’s coming along very nicely, and I really appreciate the input that everyone has been giving on it. You guys have helped more than you know! The time I didn’t spend working on the layout I spent nodding off and watching The Tonight Show on Hulu...

I’ve got new episodes of a few shows to look forward to tonight, including Supernatural, The Office, and Always Sunny. Anyhow, on to a more interesting topic; I’ve been spending some time in a different office working with some talented people. I won’t talk much about what...

Spent some time with the girlfriend today. That was nice. Also, I vote that cheddar baked potato soup be declared the most delicious soup, above all others, on the planet earth. Throw some bacon in the mix, and you’re out of this world. Now that I’m done being cheesy, I can most certainly say that this week will be somewhat definitive of the months to come. Big stuff, guys.
