Mind the gap
I'm teeter-tottering between being alive and afraid,
Faith and fear,
But I am here, and I am real.
And I am not moving.

What happens to me, happens because I let it.
Was never a fan of playing the victim card.
I tweeted the other day that I had never been "here" before and how does it work?
I've been extremely logical and have kept myself separate ( Read more... ) -

Week 1
Yesterday I spent a couple of hours sitting at the Boulevard Cafe in Daly City. Two people that I believe will help me turn the tides.
Plotting.

I wish I could stay longer.
6 weeks left and I feel like I am running out of time. What I really want is to stay here for good. I would thrive here, make a real life. I have felt that for some time now. ( Read more... ) -
Jetlag and found objects
530 am was what it said on the clock when I went to bed. And it said 630 pm when I awoke. Gee. Partly the reason for that is also that I was chatting with Manila. Something I need to disconnect from by Friday because I plan to be in the city and get to Haight and Ashbury and then head to Market to take photos of the Flood Building.

The air smells the same. Just as I had expected it.

Not that it would fall apart without me, but it felt as if it waited for me to come back, so I wouldnt feel lost when I ( Read more... ) -
Tears.
I haven't cried this much in such a long time.

I met a woman she had a mouth like yours
She knew your life
She knew your devils and your deeds
And she said, go to him
Stay with him if you care
But be prepared to bleed
Oh, you're in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and you taste so sweet
Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling
And still be on ( Read more... ) -
Zonkers
You know that feeling where its only Tuesday and you feel like its already next Monday?
Yes that is how this week is going so far.
I'm glad that today I wasn't zooming too much, unlike the usual, but my mind has gone to several places as I have sat here for the past 3 hours.
Thoughts like:
How much are flights?
When do I get time for just me?
This is ( Read more... )
