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 [...]

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 [...]

Summertime Blues

I hate summer. Yeah … I said it. I hate summer. Spring, winter and fall? Love them, but I can’t stand the heat of summer.

I’m pretty sure I’ve written somewhere in the past about how I seem to get seasonal affective disorder, but in reverse … I relish the winter, and always seem to [...]

CROSSROADS  

The second half of my life will be black to the white rind of the old and fading moon. The second half of my life will be water over the cracked floor of these desert years. I will land on my feet this time, knowing at least two languages and who my friends [...]

Allegories of life …

From The Legend of Bagger Vance:

Bagger Vance: Fix your eyes on Bobby Jones. Look at his practice swing. Almost like he’s searching for something. Then he finds it. Watch how he settle this up, right into the middle. Feel that focus. He’s got a lot of shots to choose from. Duffs and tops and [...]

Sometimes …

I wonder if/when I’ll learn to leave well enough alone; when I can accept that I don’t have all the insights to know how other people should live their lives.

It might actually help me figure out how to live my own.

Okay, yeah …

… so lifestyle changes? Yeah, they suck. Hard. Big hairy donkey ear hard. I was going to say donkey dick, but you know, that’s just too damned much alliteration, and I have readers who are sensitive about profanity, so I try to keep it to a minimum.

I’m trying to lose a little weight … [...]
