just close my eyes and try to adjust

why is that when things unravel they do so at once?

you can read me anything

everyone is talking about love this week.
from different parts of my life people are either; in love, dealing with broken love, or just general love goodness being spread through the waves.
i sit somewhere in the middle.
like the stew i made yesterday, i keep throwing things in the pot unsure of what will come out, but [...]

absence

It does make the heart grow fonder.
I believe I have a better relationship with my family because of it.
So I’ll stay here, and you be there and we’ll meet in middle.
In the ether, but in the corner especially reserved.
With paper tablecloths and paint brush utensils.
You’ll catch all my tangents.
And if you need me…
Four handclaps and [...]

after the end of a full day…

Alone, but not really.
The lamp-post brings nothing but good things.

Even though those are diner lights…they look like lamp-posts without my glasses.

a big slice of lemon

Westcoast Walker tagged me for a musical meme, of my Top 25 most played tracks in my mp3 player. I am a fan of the repeat button, so many of these songs aren’t in my rotation now, but are so high up there its hard for others to break into the top. So here’s my [...]

don’t you think every kitten figures out how to get down

It’s like waves lapping on the shore. I’ve never seen this movie before; I have a suspicion its not going [...]

i am smiling at a few things

While cleaning up the files on my computer I came across all my old blog posts from my Blogger blog (which by the way someone took the url for immediately after its deletion and hasn’t used it. odd) and I read the entry for this time last year (see kids, archives can be fun!). The [...]

and the backs of my eyes hum with things i’ve never done

Tonight my friends and I sat at this little Italian restaurant and closed the place out, sitting at the table over drinking and eating copious amounts of pasta.
It hit me today, as the prospect of a job in Vancouver was dangled, that I could very well be in a different city within the next month.

owls are more discrete

Have you ever been out walking, listening to your headphones…there is a bounce in your step and you are chuffed because you have found a new pub to spend your summer nights in, happy because you won a majority of the spoons rounds and still got to take in the late show at the independent [...]
