SONNET 100

In night when colors all to black are cast, Distinction lost, or gone down with the light; The eye a watch to inward senses placed, Not seeing, yet still having powers of sight,

Gives vain alarums to the inward sense, Where fear stirred up with witty tyranny, Confounds all powers, and thorough self-offense, [...]

Insights

So the previous post is just general good advice, based on a few recent splits that I’ve witnessed. But seeing how these splits evolved has certainly given me insight into how I handle my own splits.

My own recent long-distance relationship dissolved this past week; not because of anything bad, but because 800 miles was [...]

The Do’s and Don’ts of Splitting Up

I don’t think that going public with whatever the problems were is appropriate. He/she hasn’t said a single bad thing about you, but you have put all sorts of negativity out there about him/her. Because of the tone of that, his/her position is currently more sympathetic. That doesn’t mean that behind the scenes he’s/she’s in [...]

Quote of the Day

A play for the girl A cross for a hook Sinking into the green sea wonder Under the sea Walking the floor Over the waves the wheeling thunder

Something’s unguided in the sky tonight There is something unguided in the sky

  — New Pornographers, “Unguided”

Short ride; back and knees not cooperating today; but still happy to get out for even a short while in the crisp clear air and sun.

Rider Down: Tour of Utah director Terry McGinnis

Terry, we met a couple of times, but I can’t say I knew you personally … but I know tons of people on whom you’ve had an incredible effect. The legacy you leave behind in the Utah cycling community will not be forgotten easily, and hopefully will never be forgotten at all.

I hope that [...]

Quote of the Day

You’re thinking about the one before me. I’d never do you that way … Stop thinking about the one before me, This is now, that was yesterday.

  — The Derailers, “The One Before Me”

A BOOK OF MUSIC

Coming at an end, the lovers Are exhausted like two swimmers. Where Did it end? There is no telling. No love is Like an ocean with the dizzy procession of the waves’ boundaries From which two can emerge exhausted, nor long goodbye Like death. Coming at an end. Rather, I would [...]

BRIGHT EYES – FIRST DAY OF MY LIFE

This is the first day of my life Swear I was born right in the doorway I went out in the rain, suddenly everything changed They’re spreading blankets on the beach

Yours was the first face that I saw I think I was blind before I [...]

First time on the bike in 3 weeks … my Saturdays have been busy with the UTCX series, and the past couple of Sundays were either bad weather or otherwise booked (such as a trip to the zoo last weekend). I could tell that [...]
