I hate the secret sucker punches one receives in life but what’s worse is the shadow punches. The ones we never knew were coming.

a ship and muddy water
today it’s like the river’s full of twiny twiggs
hindering every forward motion i attempt
and eventually i grow tired
and I simply come to to a stop…
the ship’s purpose is important
but as the captain I just want to abandon ship.
the path smooth for oh so long
and most days it bears the same reseblance
but the day’s completion is something i could care less...

Taylor's Industrial Maximum Strength Lube
bailums:
i got pranked at work tonight.
no, the grinder was not broken. and no, we didn’t need to get lubricant from Buffington’s to fix it. and no, Taylor’s Industrial Maximum Strength is not even a real brand.
its an acronym.
for Tim’s Lube.
i went to the bar and asked for Tim’s lube. and Tim was there…and so were just about all my other friends that work there.
good job, Chris and...

Up to late
Invariably this happens, I have to be up early in the morning, and the desire/inspiration to write rears its glorious head. I have been writing quite a bit here lately, but its mostly been slightly depressing, or better worded, bittersweet. Mostly things about a girl that broke my heart, or troubles with each day, or approaching full blown adulthood and being scared to death of that whole...

Passion
Its funny how your passions can brought to fruition through the expression of the same passion by another person, or the degradation of your passions can bring about the fire that fuels them yet further along, as gasoline leaked onto a campfire ignite fires no forest has ever seen. These both happened to me this weekend.

Yep just realized I need to edit that last post a bit but can’t from the crackberry here so I’ll do that manana. G’night all
I find myself a bit shy of owning up to the blessings in my life, and this all comes to me, I guess, in a sort of ” Run’s House or Bernie Mac Show, end of show recap” sort of way. I just spent the last 15 minutes on the porch with my brother, who is someone that respect deeply, something I don’t find in many people, the extreme version that is. He has found what he feels he...
Nights like this
I wrote this a while ago, and just found it. Funny enough I had no non-platonic interests at this time; either way here a little bit ‘o my writing: Nights like this Make you wonder Why we ever built cities Or ever got jobs that got us up before the sunrise We could lie underneath the stars That aren’t diluted by the city street lights And sleep next to each other till the sunshine woke...

an emotional post
i choose to be in harmony(agree), i desire deeply(wish) that emotions were no longer single word expressionsless sounding terms, rather lush dicriptives, but more than just emotions. i am presently experiencing what it is like to be depleted while at the same time mentally satisfied with this sort of metaphorical Sunday dinner that i am eating(same as saying today I’m tired but I’m...

on the plane to nyc at the moment. i think i would be terribly excited right now if it weren’t for the fact my eyes burn from the lack of sleep. i tried watching the sunrise from the window next to me but i’ll be damned if that didn’t burn them even more.
i’m watching the flight attendants instead. one particular lady with...
when one encounters the end of a street......
And the only options remaining are turning left or right, but so much has hapened that left has become right and the opposite of that the same opposing opposite of itself, what does one do?
I was vague
And purpose was my cloak While others were loudly blind And fully informed nievity the scales with which they chose to cover their eyes I, Choose quick and honest truth While they quickly abandon all that was what was Friendship carries no priced taggings Nor faith hope or love Be they of the world or God to you These three need never be more than free There is no price for truth I would not...

Tonight....
…..I sat at a bar and enjoyed the usual banter taking place in it’s own usual way. The boys were all having a night of it all, each individually enjoying their own individual pithers of the coldest Miller Light that Buffington’s could offer. The jukebox ranged from Zeppelin to Micheal Jackson while the T.V. randged from great Mike Tyson moments to Indianapilis vs San Diego in the...

she's my lady
funny how time throws things together that have seemingly been lost, forgotten, or forsaken, not for intention of ill will, but the inclusion of the separation of time in every life and the evolution of the things used to fill those gaps allows for the ease of change towards the evolving individual, and the concern for things pasts fades as a leaf in autumn then dissappearing as the same leaf in...
Bright day
Have been cooking a fair amount here lately, and in doing so have discovered the luxury of such actions; preferring it to and over dining out. I have felt more sufficient as the inbred male desire to supply has been on some levels met. The freedom from the restrictions of a restaurant menu is exilerating once you forsake the false fears that you just cannot recreate the pictures in the cookbook....
Thoughts
Sometimes I wonder how we got this far? I am the manager for a local coffee shop in the town that I live in, this town also happens to hold a Starbucks. The question on my mind is based off of this idea…. I’m sitting at that Starbucks right now and enjoying a cup of their Pikes Place coffee, not because I prefer it to our coffee or that I even prefer ours to theirs, simply because I...
Just a thought
Sometimes I wonder if I let “the one”, if that exists, slip away. I know the past is just that, and nothing more than a lesson at best, yet still I wonder from time to time. I know I have lost a friend or two, and changed the whole dynamic of some friendships. It also makes me look at each day with a different disposition than I used, having written this that is. Sometimes its fear,...
