What Am I To Be?
This is not who I thought I’d become. I really didn’t. Does any of our plans, when we were playing on the school grounds, ever come true?
I should be taller.
More hair.
Richer.
I have my dream house in the Hollywood Hills already planned out. Throwing my head back in witty banter with Angelina Jolie whilst we soak [...]
HELLO? Is Anybody There?
The nature of being alone is never easy for one who finds comfort in background noises and distractions.
There are times we ache for our “alone time” and when it’s upon us we can either revel in it or seek to find alternatives.
The television playing loudly in the background, music that puts us in a memory [...]
Ponderings Between Stops
Writing on the bus is never easy. Typing on the bus isn’t simple either but there’s been this drive in me to do more writing.
And I get to be inspired by the advertisements plastered on the inside.
There’s one for some Bible study thingamajig. With the less than subtle picture of a deep-azure lake surrounded by [...]
"We’ll Party Up Vladnik Style"
Ahhh youth.
Ahhh the days when you could party like it’s “1999″ and crawl out of a club, in the summer, when the birds are singing and the sun is shining.
And you’re STILL wearing what you wore to the club the night before.
And it’s SOOOOOOO obvious.
It’s called, “The Walk Of Shame.” That it’s what you wore [...]
In One Take: The Way Frank Did It
The photo album is open and it’s pointing out history.
Or is it my flaws?
One and of the same. One and of the same; people.
(Amanda Marshall: “Marry Me”)
“I wanna laugh until I cry
Wake up with you each day till the day I die…”
Music takes me back, it really does. To ALL my failings. I think, [...]
WEEKEND - Capital Letters Approved
There is something about stepping off the bus for a weekend away from work.? Seriously.? Two full days.? Wow.
It’s almost like at 10:51 PM when I got my ass off the bus and it just seemed to me that a happiness shook me.
Now it’s not like I hate my job but it just seems like [...]
Bravery: A Perfect Example
I’d never know until I was faced with it but it’s how I’d like to think that I’d think like this.
Am I an Eyeore or a Tigger?
My perception of myself is Tigger but I know there are those that think I’m an Eyeore.
Watch, you’ll figure out what I’m talking about. It’s 9 minutes long. [...]
(Not For The Faint Hearted) What Is This?
WHAT IS THIS?
OK, I will admit to being one of those people who slow down on the 401 to see an accident, causing the ripple effect that buggers up traffic.
I will also admit to being the biggest pussy on the planet.
When I was ten, I scampered down to the laundry room to pull the plate [...]
In The Still Of The Night
It’s late.
Well, not the late of my youth.
The days when I’d stagger out of an after hours club, eyes reddened with pupils dilated (honestly I looked like the cartoon of “Little Orphan Annie) and blinded by the sun, the thump of the bass still ringing in my ears remixed with birds singing.
It was like Moby [...]
I’m Forty Fucking Years Old!
So. Here I am.
Forty fucking years old.
I can’t believe I made it this far. Now I’m actually thinking about over 60.
Hell, if I make it I’ll be screwed at 65. No pension plan.
It’s funny. When you’re 20 you can’t even imagine 35, never mind 40.
Now my [...]
