30 hours in a fishbowl
“There are enough red flags on your chart for me to want to put a hold on you”. This came after a two-minute interview with a mental health professional tasked with triaging ER psych admits. What to do with the afflicted. Two minutes. I watched her walk around for another hour. I asked sever times…

Secrets
Everyone has secrets. Everyone has something not to say. I know that. Everyone thinks they know what it best for other people to do when it comes to being honest, open. Not many will do that which they suggest to others. Everyone that has nothing to say is offended by the fucking asshole in their…

Getting it out
I used to use this space to hurl up and out all the crap that was eating me alive from the inside out. I used to use it to purge an unshakeable thought, like a funky 80’s hook song that just won’t get out of your head. I used to use this place to share…

Excuses
I heard an interesting comment recently that has rustled around in my head like a few fallen leaves, caught up in a corner, the wind spinning them ’round-n-round in a seemingly endless yet, pointless dance. Eventually, the continued abrading will break them down to dust. I wanted to get this out, written, committed too before…

Love to be hated
I once again find myself the object of hatred. Hated by people that have not met me. Not talked to me. Have no idea of who I am. They simply know what I am not. I am not the right age. I am not monied. I am not educated. I am not successful. I am…

The weight of words
(This has devolved into a shitty set of lyrics to a terrible song) How many times can you tell me you hate me before I begin to believe you? How many days will I watch you walk away before I begin to stop watching? I don’t remember when it happened but you stopped whispering my…

Imitation ain’t easy!
I am sitting in my desk chair looking down at my right foot. More exactly, the sock on my right foot. My back hurts a bit as lean forward in a particularly poor posture. I think, “Hey, this is why you got that damn Swiss ball, to get out of this chair” It makes no…

The gift that is touch
It seems that the human animal not only likes, enjoys, relishes and seeks out touch but, it needs to be touched. A good many studies have been done to show this. Healthy babies, healthy kids, healthy adults all experience touch regularly. I spend 20 +/- hours a week touching people. That’s my job. What I…

Seasons of the Set.
One of the fun parts of designing and building sets is the knowledge that you are also going to be removing it. Planning on it actually. What parts are going to be saved for another set. Which are going to be taken apart for material and which are just trash. Knowing that is how you…
