Every thought of hopelessness I dispel. Every sense of insurmountable odds I tear down. Every feeling of fear I choose love. Every time I exhibit conditioning I exude choice. My world, which had been very monochrome, is enlivening with the myriad hues of possibility. I refuse to continue allowing an unseen maleficent force control my [...]

Shoulders raise, slump, and unslump. Mini sigh. Lightly inebriated. Hey, it’s well past noon. Just reluctantly bacame a member of facebook; put a surprising amount of effort into my profile, uploading a webcam pic now. Got my tunes playing, Erykah Badu right now. The day is moist, overcast, windy, quieter than usual. I suppose sound [...]

I’m back. I wish I could say that the long absence was an intended break. Truth is, the computer I was previously using became infected with a nasty virus which was very unforgiving and wiped the computer clean. Fortunately, I acquired another PC to be all my own which I rebuilt andrefurbished and the such. [...]

I had deja vu at work yesterday. Once upon a time, I suppose when I was more on track, I experienced deja vu with what some might consider an enviable consistency. The experience yesterday was the first time in quite a long while. In trying to explain to myself what deja vu was like I [...]

Made it through the BAB week of training, unscathed. Only issue I have so far is that I’m going to have to be ON (excited, peppy, enthusiastic) all the time. Sometimes that’s hard for me. It may be an issue or it may not. Only time will tell. Most of my coworkers seem pretty cool. [...]

Today was my first day at BAB. The store doesn’t open until the 30th. Today was “truck day”. 9 hours unloading and setting up. The time flew by. Met most of my co-workers. A few stood out as cool. Speaking of standing out and being cool … At the end of it all my boss [...]

I love when I get to be in situations that are so very much outside my normal realm of existance. I don’t like that sometimes I still suck, beyond belief, at the fundamental pleasantries of social interaction. Friday I was on cue, parlaying questions into conversations, even if simple. Today [...]

I didn’t mean to be anything frustrating.
Least of all, I didn’t mean to be anything which makes me seem naive.
It’s passion. It’s excitement. It’s curiosity.
Can you really blame a man for wanting it all?
There’s a thousand little pieces of me
that I need to put together before I can be free.
So don’t [...]

I feel like I’m a last resort. Or maybe a better description of how I feel would be that I’m collateral damage in his search for new friends. You know, I’ll give him the benefit of doubt and wonder if perhaps it was simply the way he stated his thoughts. Furthermore, [...]

One might be inclined to think that we love moving from place to place like our personalities love our addictions. We are not Travelers. We are not in the WPP. We are not a family of spies or super heroes. We are nothing so romantic or fantasized. We are, quite simply (and commonly I’d suspect), [...]
