SECKS!
I’ve pretty much figured out that I’m not getting laid tonight on New Year’s Eve/New Year’s Day…So ladies, y’all got like 364 days to figure out how to get in my pants!

Piss Off 2009!

Be Free My Dear...
Girl…Get yourself married
and my sense of honor
will make me let go of desire
Girl…I will miss you!
(I shouted this at the top of my
lungs on New Year’s Eve 2009)

Tao Te Ching | Chapter 43 by Lao Tzu
The gentlest thing in the world overcomes the hardest thing in the world. That which has no substance enters where there is no space. This shows the value of non-action. Teaching without words, performing without actions: that is the Master’s way.
Translation by S. Mitchell
Mucoid and Breathless
This morning, I literally had to hold my head under hot running water and inhale steam forcibly through my nose to melt all the mucous blocking my nasal passages. I’ve never had it that bad. GROSS…I coughed and blew out enough to reconstruct the insides of a Brook Trout!
Rain Drops Tear Drops...
I’ve got a steaming hot mug of Orange Pekoe, the cheap stuff you find in any corporate office. But, sitting outside under a canopy while a light rain pitter-patters above me is quite soothing and familiar.
I’m reflecting on 2009. This was a year of deep sadness, sorrow, loneliness, and tears. I’ve shouted questions at my bedroom ceiling and have raised a clenched fist to the...

You Give Me Bossa Nova
I haven’t learned to hold you yet
That’s why you keep slipping from my fingers
Oh how I wish I wouldn’t freeze
When my eyes meets your stare
From a distance I can see you dance all night
But I’m not your partner, I’m no where to be seen
If I had my way you’d be in my arms so tight
Yet it wouldn’t be real…
I haven’t learned to hold you yet
And that’s something I must do...
Christmas Shopping Made Me Scream Tonight
I fully intended to buy a family member a Christmas present tonight. Everyone else has been covered. Just one more was all I needed to finish shopping…
Instead, I found myself buying three books at Borders for $45. Then, to make up for that “fail.” I went to Best Buy and bought two box sets of DVD’s. One I really want to keep for myself and the other out of curiosity...

Holiday Downer :-(
You hear the stories often enough and check them off as another statistic, until it comes close or knocks on your door.
A good friend of mine, his brother:
Three years ago, he was injured as a firefighter and hasn’t worked since. Then, he lost his house and his wife left him. Last year, he was diagnosed with a brain tumor. He was a marksman while in the military, so he had guns and...
Hmmmph!
Sitting outside, under a canopy weighed down with the rain and rotting leaves of Fall.
Newer leaves are on the ground. Without the rain, they’d be dry and crunchy under foot.
Like a child, I long to race through a pile of raked leaves…

Troubled Mind (Lyrics) - Everything But the Girl
Don’t say one thing one day, then something else the next day. I’m trying to keep up with you - it’s hard enough when you speak clearly, but when you’re confused, it’s like a goods train running through these rooms. And I’m reading more into your words than you have put into them, and that’s my problem, but you tied these knots, now you undo them. ...
Wine Failure...
I have this bottle of Francis Coppola Claret that’s half full. About 3 months ago, I popped the cork and had a couple of glasses. Mind you, I’m not a big drinker. Two beers and I’ve got a headache. Half a bottle of wine, I feel like scraping my tongue. Oddly, I can drink sake and awamori all night, no problem.
Anyway, back to this 3 month old bottle of claret. I wondered...
I exercised then listened to the rain...
Listen!
Rain Bird

On the ground now

Feathers all wet

Please return to flight

Reverse Psychology Failure
So my boss calls me into the office to warn me about my recent excessive late arrivals to work. Total: 7 in three months. OMG! Stop the world! He didn’t issue a written warning or even a verbal warning. He just wanted to have a discussion, which is pretty cool.
But, what I hate is how managers are taught (or learn) to speak “down” to employees. WTF? I’m a grown man...
