Strength / Character
A drunk guy groped her. He's fucking wasted. He trashed the wash room and is carried out by his friend. Outside, I approached them and told them about what the drunk guy, Sean, did.
I figured, he's drunk and he won't even remember anything I say to him. There was another way to deal with this.
The man on the phone said, "I don't think so. He's ( Read more... ) -
Hit
As far as I'm concerned, it's been practically unheard of, me leaving a statement incomplete and hanging, ripe for misreading and all that. The last thing I want is to have my intentions misunderstood. It's a bit tricky though. I'd like to say "it always is" but no, it doesn't have to be tricky ( Read more... ) -
A Weird Synchronicity
It turned out that a number of people, including yours truly, found themselves in arguments with their significant others last night. Friday the 13th was last week; talk about lag! It's been tumultuous. I can't speak for the others, of course, but from what I've heard, I can assume that everyone experienced something similar. We're all on our ( Read more... ) -

Haha. Death by cryptic. She's fine, I'm fine, we're fine. All is well. -
A Misstep
"Te quiero," she said.
I knew it was Spanish because she said she liked the language. She found it sexy, the way it rolled off the tongue, as if the language was made for lovers.
But I didn't know what the sentence meant. I had hoped to read her face for clues, but shadows hid the context.

Business and Pleasure
She sizzled as she swayed serpentine through the scene. It was almost midnight and I'd been saving slick shit for half an hour. She smiled and it reset the lotto jackpot prize. She slid into the space saved for her. She said, "Hello." I was hoping for a kiss but it was maybe next time, kid. Maybe I'll cash in later. I had trouble thinking ( Read more... ) -
Not Yet
I suppose that the day will come when I will be face-to-face with my greatest fear.
It won't be a gray morning or a rainy afternoon, nor will it be a deep black night, a darkness that only happens when my eyes are shut tight after crying over the loss of a loved one.
Because I haven't lost you yet.
The sun will be up high. A soft breeze will cool ( Read more... ) -
Warmth
When I love, I tend to lose myself in it completely. I'm beginning to feel the effect of neglecting most of my friends during the 5 years I was with my ex. I left that relationship thinking that I'd be fine, and, well, I am. When I lost her, I found myself back in the real world with a few people greeting me, "Welcome back", and fewer caring.

Walking On
I was looking at a photograph and thinking what would it be like if I was there. It's a happy scene, but I'm not in it. Circumstance is a velvet rope separating me from the steady flow of other people and time and other people in time. When they've passed, the ropes will be gathered, the carpets will be rolled up and the lights will be packed. ( Read more... )
