Blurbs. For the “too long, didn’t read” folks. ;-)

Granny Panties

I bought new underwear for the first time in nearly 4 years.

It arrives tomorrow.
It’s sexy.
It might be my greatest accomplishment to date.

I’m Just Not That Into You

You are not special.
No one cares what you think or how you feel.
Your goals are silly and unimportant.
Having children is common
Talking more does not increase your personal worth.
Money only provides security, not success.
Clothes are a waste of time.

If you want to invest in long term relationships become someone that you want to be alone with.

Home theater?

I didn’t get to see the Little Mermaid in theaters. My mom was an asshole and I got kicked out of the car. I’m sure she remembers it differently, but I’m telling this story. #survivor

Actually, from what I know of spoiled 8-year old children – I was most certainly the asshole. Or is that Stockholm syndrome talking? I’ve always been partial to the Nordic types.

If it’s polite to uncomfortably ignore social impropriety I don’t want to be around polite people. I’d rather you make me cry than ignore me. Might just find out I don’t really give a shit what you think.

The only good thing about my wasted potential is how much vim I have to enjoy my life now.

I’m throwing my own birthday party this year. Sunday September 6 @ the P&H.  Come celebrate the impending end of Summer by rocking your face off with great local music.  5$ cover – Be Nice Or Leave.  Continue reading Puh Arty

Fashion Holes

If it’s possible, I will get a series of strategic body piercings I’m able to attach clothing to. Then I will custom drape everything I wear based on my mood and the occasion.

If people hang themselves from hooks, this must already be a thing. Right?

Sonnets

In the face of change
I always come back
to love.
For better or worse
A thing I must need.

Commitment is a
4-letter word
Whenever I meet
someone special
Or a residency option
if it is all that bad.

I don’t want you
or the horse
even if
the ride is fun.
I can do better.
Even if you do
Write sonnets.

Patience, like a wall,
Enough built up
To protect Jerusalem
And Tibet
Freedom weighing
Against liberty
We all gots to work.

No one’s watching
Let’s dance.

I Just Work Here

Living in the present is contradicted when working a day job. Some of us are lucky to find moderately fulfilling employment early on.  Alas, no matter how great the situation, it’s still work. I’m sure there are days when even the Crocodile Hunter wanted to just sleep in. The goal isn’t a job to love. It’s finding a purpose that isn’t simultaneously soul-crushing.  Continue reading I Just Work Here

Truth Is

Smoking isn’t that big of a deal.

I often sit in an empty bar and wonder how much fuss I’d cause taking a puff off my one-hitter. Chances are the staff smokes too. No one else would know. The smell doesn’t stick. It even leaves a pleasant lingering hint that something calming happened here. Like your grandparents house.  Continue reading Truth Is
