DREAMLOG 7
I’m having a very odd dream about my mother’s old house. In where I’m in the dining room on a bed with a white bed cover and on the ceiling, I can see the swirls from the plaster that designed the surface. There’s a pack of cigarettes attached to the light fixture. I look and […]
White Satan
Snow is like a supermodel.
Great to look at but a total bitch.
I hate it, I do.
I will admit, viewing it from a warm room through a window is amazing but then it becomes slush.
You think people who are driving in are nuts (and some of them are) and you can’t even imagine […]
DREAMLOG 6
I’m watching television and there are two other people, I don’t know who they are, in another room. A commercial comes on for Special K and a man with a HUGE microphone is talking to people if they like the cereal. He goes up to a man who’s completely naked and squatting with a semi-erection. […]
Silence Of The Lambs
So I need perspective here.
Last night I got home from work and I turned on the stereo. I live in a semi-detached home and the neighbours pounded on the wall.
The thing is, it was eight thirty. Now I know that noise laws are iffy things.
There are so many intricate interpretations with exceptions.
I […]
Reaffirmations (Parts I & II)
We talked last night.
Honestly and without reserve, we talked about the stress we both felt.
Clarity can do so much for the soul.
I feel lighter.
It’s not that everything’s resolved or even fixed, it’s not that I got what I wanted, a full time relationship but I got something that’s just as good. […]
Finishing The Hat
If there’s any chance that you can get to see, "Sunday In The Park With George", the original, live performance by Mandy Patinkin (in one of his less self indulgent roles) and Bernadette Peters (who’s just sublime) then see it.
It’s just perfection. I’ve been rediscovering it tonight after years of passing it by and […]
Ghosts In The Machine
So, how do you move on?
I mean, yeah, it takes time but when you miss someone so much that your waking thoughts are wallpapered with him, how do you get past that?
It’s been eleven days, that’s it.
In the grand scheme of things that’s a short distance of time; it’s certainly not enough […]
Key Of Life
Music is always the first casualty of my breakups.
Notice I put the plural?
Yeah, not proud of that one.
The songs that I identify with him or have shared and saw, on his handsome face, the eyes light up and the mouth widen at the corners.
Music has always been a catalyst for me […]
My Remembrance Day
Sometimes I wish I could shake people and yell, as clear as Barbra Striesand singing…."YOU DESERVE HAPPINESS".
There are people in my life that will tell you that I’ve not always been cheerful or optimistic.
When I was in Grade 12, Suzanne Kennedy went to the school counselor and told her that she was afraid that […]
