A Poet's Soul....

In a jar, somewhere in my kitchen, buried under boxes of junk....
But he yearns for poetry, and I acquiesce....

Electronic Man

Distance bridged by fickle media
Words fly slowly across the page
Soul and thought fear not the implement
Intellect feels and soon it fails

The planet swings again
Connecting outlets to devices
Phrases form solidly into fact
Life not lived without notice

We strive or we contrive
To wring passion from exchange
Affirmation of opposition
There's no meeting in the meaning



There ya go, fine, I did it, and I guess it didn't kill me. But The Bard is still The Man, and #57 is still killer shit.

Warning Label

So, I was talking with the Pharmaceutically Enhanced Goddess the other day and she laughingly suggested that I need a warning label, something to let strangers know exactly what's in store if they approach me. A few of the items she recommended, and a few I came up with on my own are:

- Handle with care, potentially flammable
- Not to be operated by anyone under the age of 30
- Do not attempt to engage this device while under the influence
- Makes frequent, sudden stops, turns, and bounces
- Changes Opinions and Clothes faster than intended
- Dangerous Curves
- Occasionlly Exceeds Tolerances to Alcohol, Caffeine, and BS

I'm sure there are more signs that people wish they'd seen displayed, feel free to add a few of your own.

Tenkiyasen

Last week one of my neighbors inquired of me, "Is it cold enough for you?", an appropriate question, as I was outside with the dog in my pajama bottoms and t-shirt, a pair of flip-flops on my feet, no coat, and it was windy and cold. This same neighbor, today, asked, "Is it hot enough for you?", again, completely appropriate, for the same exact outfit, but a different temperature, in the mid-50's and sunny. I LOVE Michigan, the weather changes faster than my mood.

Don't do this

Last night I had far too much tequila and did something I probably shouldn't have: I drunk texted. This does not come as a shock, as I have drunk dialed, I have drunk emailed, etc. What is different this time is that instead of falling asleep after the drunk texting, I sat up a while and thought about what I'd talked about. I can't remember much of what I dreamt about later on, but I keep having flashes of an image of myself walking down a street waving a peace sign hello at... someone. Weird.

Manual Transmissions and Real Friends

Yay! New Skill!
Well, ok, not new, but since I hadn't driven a stick-shift vehicle in about 10 years, I got to re-learn how to do it. In a red Ford Escort, with over 105,000 miles on it, belonging to Brian, who lent it to me for a couple days. When people tell jokes about how you can tell a friend from a real friend, I've finally figured out the distinction that sets Brian apart: a real friend will lend you their car for two days on an hour's notice, no questions asked. The point is not why I didn't have my own vehicle, but that I'm lucky enough to have real friends. So now, I'll be buying another friend's car, getting it out of his driveway, getting me some hot new wheels... I think I'll look pretty good in it too.
