I’m writing this on January 16th, it will be posted a month from now on February 16th, on his 29th Birthday. This little reminder of our love will be my birthday present to him. In the next 4 weeks ANYTHING could happen. But what I’ve said here, it is the truth right now, and it is […]
Originally posted on The Fight In Me:We humans are very good at sweating the details, and yet,as morbid as this might sound, we all die in the end. Everyone’s end is just the same, all stories end the same way. No matter where in life you come from, rich, poor, good, bad, beautiful, ugly:…
Love this post by shadowseeker. People don’t try hard enough to find the true nature of love… the key is to be everything you need to yourself, and then love someone without needing them. To simply love…as she says…. I have stumbled through life, tripping over my mind, falling into and over you; stepped on […]
Yes well.. I’m on a roll. A couple of things: 1. It’s amazing what you can learn on the internet. (Yes, I know some people take this to mean learning how to make bombs, and traps and drugs) but just a few months ago, my brother bought a Ukulele and I’ve since learned how […]
I tap a few words into my phone and send them off. It’s nothing much, just a little appreciation. I thank him for being there and for listening. It calms the storm in my chest a little.. 2:43am wide awake. Work is at the height of insanity right now. It’s high season, things are not […]
This one’s for Thomas. I may have butchered your song my friend. Do forgive. It sounds very stripped down, and…. alone, when I sing it. But the words are epic! Also, I sound better than I look (I look pained when I sing), and… Well I should probably stop making excuses. Arcade Fire, Forgive me. […]
I was talking today with my brother about the feeling of being in a new place. I’m house sitting/cat sitting for a friend of mine this week and I’ve noticed a difference in my mood, energy and attitude. My brother, the spiritual, intelligent man that he has turned into said, “it’s because you’re mind is […]
Every New Year, for as long as I can remember I’ve done something. There has been some kind of plan. Most of them were spent at lavish New Years parties. Since Tha worked in the Hotels, we always had a party to be at. One of my fondest childhood memories, is running around from table […]
It took less than an hour since I sat down at my desk after a 2-week vacation, for my life to be upheaved again. When I walked into the office I felt quite distinctly like I had been gone for a considerable amount of time. Not 2 weeks, no, felt more like 7 years. I […]
I’ve been practicing the ukulele on cold, springy-winter evenings… I sound tired, slightly off key and mannish. But this one’s for Amelia-James… my sun on winter evenings. Can’t wait to meet you Munchkin! And when I sing with you, I’ll do better. :* Filed under: Creative, Videos
Sometimes the world (read:work) is a little too much. This is an attempt to write from around 230am on night in May 2016. I don’t have words. I see things that would inspire words, but try as I might, search as I must, I cannot find my words. Sometimes, I hear them, like whispers in […]
Seattle, Washington I wonder if there is some symbolic reality in the fact that I can’t finish any of my stories. And yet I dream and dream of a completed manuscript. I even dream of being turned down; laughed away by a editor/publisher, because that’s how its supposed to be. I’m supposed to dream, and […]
The sun sets on Santa Fe, and I walk through the barely populated streets of the Plaza. Small open courtyards, vigas of various sizes, the adobe style mixed with the victorian style architecture, like fairytale-dreamland-movie set. It’s beautiful. The native american culture is so infused within this region, more than any other place i’ve visited […]
Of course I did Costa Rica differently. Although, I can’t actually say I’ve done Costa Rica at all. Spent most of my 5 nights in San Jose, leaving the hotel at 8am to our corporate office, and then heading back to the hotel at 6-7pm after a full day of meetings and work; most nights […]
My dearest most darling Namali, I’ve started to write about you so many times over the course of our friendship. The words would come, but nothing was ever quite good enough. But tonight, high and hallucinating on an allergic reaction to cough syrup, I am finding the inspiration to write about you. You’ve been alive […]
One afternoon we were chatting… Me- We should come here, to Stresa -Italy- together, one summer. Pretend we are old world female writers, fighting against the chauvinistic world of literature and spend hours sitting on our balcony (facing the lake ideally) clacking away on our computers (only because typewriters would be too loud, and disturb […]
This is a trip down memory lane- a scattered memory from December 31st, 2015: I hesitated today, and I might have missed the chance to say what I’ve been thinking. For days I thought about how I would say it, and even though you’ve proved time and time again I can say what I want […]
