TRAGEDY!

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I just can’t go on.
I don’t want to live if I can’t eat banana chips and sour patch kids. And I can’t eat banana chips or sour patch kids, now that I found out that 2/3 of a cup of banana chips (maybe two hefty [...]

Between a Bullet and a Target.

Apparently, I fall into the target demographic for the next presidential campaign: http://nymag.com/news/intelligencer/32135/?imw=Y. Well, nearly. I do have a college education, I don’t listen to much country music and I certainly don’t watch 4.22 hours of television (and Dieu Merci, it is not the Discovery Channel nor TNT when I do!). But otherwise, they nailed me.
And I [...]

Tuesday Musings.

I have blisters on my thumbs, index fingers and pinkies… let the drumming frenzy begin. By the time the conference show rolls around in November, my formerly feminine fingers will be calloused and ugly in the name of the Krin. I hate that (the callouses, not the Krins). Also, it hurts. I can’t hold a [...]

Relationships.

I have tried to start writing this post three times. I don’t know what to say besides the fact that I feel so many emotions right now that I can’t quite sort them out. I don’t have writer’s block. I have mind block. It has been such an unreal start to 2007, and we’re nearly [...]

Down for the Count…

… well, no dancing for me for at least a week. I popped a tendon in my big toe tonight. And how did I know that? Because it felt like my toe exploded and then I could put no weight on it and swelled up. Luckily we had a medical expert at class, who knew [...]

Every Ship Must Sail Away.

Have you ever heard the sounds in the shadows of a song?
Have you ever felt the words blow right through from beyond?
Years pass, people change, bluer skies could turn to grey
Though its gonna hurt for now, every ship must sail away
Every ship must sail away
Oh, changes in the air
And you wear it oh so well
I [...]

Comfort in a Country Moment.

I love being at home.
It’s been four months since I last visited my parents house, until this weekend. And all last week, despite the madness of transitioning into a new job, all I could think about was how excited I was to go home. Too see my parents and relax in the house I grew [...]

I Had Some South in my Mouth.

I finally got there.
Ever since I heard wind that a little place full of southern vittles was coming to town, I was pumped. With arms wide open, I waited for Souza’s to move out and uptown and Big Fatty’s to roll in.
Tonight, many weeks after it opened its doors, I rounded up eight of my [...]

New Skins.

I have not yet posted anything in the month of May. Awful. Pathetic. A damn shame.
But I’ve been distracted with those tasks that reek of spring. Seeing as we are developmentally challenged in the seasonal change department here in the Northeast, it is just beginning to ring spring and therefore my spring triggers are just [...]
