Thursday was feelin' very uninspired, not quite dissapointed or annoyed-blamed it on th flourescent lights but in realily I knew it was the lack of eye contact- Friday flipped this, I know life can't always be fun and games, and I have all my heavy demons over my head like anyone else-the haters, the bill collectors, the uncover misogynists- but ( Read more... )

Went to a co-worker's retirement  party. I have only met her a few times because she works in a another part of the library.

Being free
is being completely honest with yourself
and knowing what makes you happy
not needing anyone's approval
but getting that from just enjoying

Through ancient streams
Rushing rusty but impossible to deny
into your genes
Paternity secret revealed
The Neanderthal strain within
