The first step was born in potential. My soul had grown a liberating callus, protection from the world. The underlying poison remained festered and contained as I forgot. Moving on was a necessary necessity, I wasn't a Taoist. I used to be.

Last month, I was told that the Rapture was coming on 21 September  people wanted to pay me to look after their pets, as it was clear I was going to be left behind. It didn't happen. You know that there must have been some little mistake in their calculations.… Read full post »

It's Wednesday...again.  So it's time for a:

 Things that really bug me....

Women who breastfeed in public but then make a big show of hiding it as if I care.

Total strangers telling me what to do, especially square-dance callers.

See that table? It’s no ordinary table. Up until a few years ago, Halloween was an excuse to cover every square inch of my living space with as many decorations as possible. In more recent times, such efforts haven’t been practical. For as much gusto as… Read full post »

 Well, I didn't start out to have a bad day.  It was kind of so-so, ho-hum and basically blah.  That's okay, it's what Thursdays are for. Thursday:  The Day That Is Not Quite Friday, But NOT Quite As Bad As Wednesday.

I should NEVER have tried to answer the… Read full post »

It's already October.  My favorite month.  But it's also one of my busiest times.  Now you would think since Halloween is still  so far away that I would have plenty of time to get all the art, posters, invitations and costume stuff done in time. You would be right, if I… Read full post »

There is a kind of death between an old life and a new.
Fear enters in,
The taste of dust,
Gargoyles screaming.

I know that I shall meet my fate.
Without permanent intention
There is no protection.

A random life and the laws of… Read full post »

I once had an art teacher say:

"Here’s the rule of thumb when creating something: it’s never bad, it just isn’t finished"

Of course, this is the same person who said I was an " artist with exquisite talent and endless potential." Oh, that's right. I just remembered....they took him… Read full post »

Six Word Story: Cake and pie!

I was surfing around the net and found out that Ernest Hemingway once won a bet with a story only six words long, and from then on he would brag that the following story was one of his greatest:

Sooo….the husband unit has informed me that Dexter – Season 4 is coming on this month.  This is good news. But, it started me thinking. Always a bad idea. Would I make a good serial killer? The answer is probably not.  But…

They constitute the universe

I remember the cats went silent
Scattered dead leaves
Deserted alleyways
Howling winds of homeless words.

I remember the face of Narcissus
Reflected in a pool of greasy yellow
Left by a stray dog the color of spilled tears
And forgotten purpose.

I remember a moment so great

You'd hear them praying when you

pressed your ear to a printed page.

"Please keep me from the pain,"

So I got all excited about a recipe for eggplant with tomato-mint sauce and goat cheese, which a friend recommended.

I’d never cooked an eggplant. How was I supposed know it was the demon king of all vegetables?
I got all kinds of advice on/… Read full post »

When you live a life as dangerous as mine, you are forced to come to terms with the idea that eventually, you will be brought down by the man. You learn to live with the constant harassment by the FBI and Johnny Law. You know all… Read full post »
