"Why are we running...?" Sounded the frustrated voice of Jennifer through a groaning wind

"Because THEY are running" replied the stout woman pulling Jennifer's uneasy steps along with a hand, made strong by years of repetitive labor at the the Grain mill.

"But we've DONE nothing wrong" Jennifer continued in protest
"Too right dat Missy, WE ha'done nuttin wrong. You on de udder hand, You...

Utilikilt or something more glam?

Haha, the picture of perfection! You look WAY better in that skirt than I would, my friend. Like a post post modern avant pan-action hero.

That's not a family tartan is it?

Yes I did pick up some more ink for the collection, you always notice the new pieces before any one else.

You do mystify me little one. Those delicate hands. I think other men would be surprised to feel the roughness of your skin... the texture, not quite so callused as mine I can't imagine you'd have suffered through the strokes of a 16 ounce...

Magus, Sweet Magus
with humorous sway you engage
your words like tickled butterflies
Swell then land softly upon my page
Warmed by that gustatorial inspired presage
Providing distraction and disarming aloofness
With all the silly talk of
"Crepes avec fromage et un oeuff"ness

Oui! Oui! I say.
I must and do
My most savory crepes
I wouldst share avec vou.
So sit for a while
Take a bite, have a gander
Drink and let's let thoughts meander.
Magus, Sweet Magus
You certainly amuse.
Magus, Sweet Magus
A goodnight to you.

If you come, I'll supply the lube. wink

magus, my friend, I hope your heart is holding up. I'm sorry you are sad.

when writers can't write, they write about themselves not being able to write. when painters can't paint, they drink and talk about writers. when romantics can't love they read books about people who can....

I brought the dogs down to Encinitas/DelMar to a dog beach today. Bronte, I think, is part fish because she fucking LOVES the water, Beren spent most of his time sniffing seaweed piles and Drogo stuck to me like he always does, sniffing a butt or two as it passed him by. Anyway, on the way there I was on "PCH" and saw a little...

Ha ha! Chaos with a happy ending. Watching dogs try to navigate busy streets is such an unnerving sight. I have my own little doggie rescue experiences, but none so action packed and glorious as yours. I picture a little freckle faced, Ron Howard, Mayberry type of kid when you mentioned the "Thanks Mister" bit.

Good deeds certainly are their own reward, however, I'm giving you a gold star anyway. Thank you for pulling that oblivious little pug back from the jaws of death.
You did a very good thing.

I'm back- I was feeling a bit anti-social for a while and then took off for London for a short time, but I'm back now.... I missed you

I write, sometimes for work, writing copy or some inane product description, I write blogs detailing the passage of my days, I write stories of far off lands and some not so much further off than my...

I have ben gone for a while, too long I think. So please accept my apologies for that. It could not be helped. I'll be back tomorrow or perhaps sooner with another story to tell, if you like-

Day- 10
Jennifer hasn't called or written since that last morning, and that dispiriting note, I miss her, and I don't miss women any one in particular, and anymore, that is. But I won't call her, I'm too aware of what that would mean. That would be an act of weakness, an admission that I care, and that I have somehow allowed myself to become...

i already know the tattoos i'm getting.
the first is going to be the world "adorelo" in times new roman script on my wrist. it's a phrase that's gotten me through quite a bit, and i definitely want it to be as much of a part of my exterior as it is my interior. (:
the second is going to be either on the other wrist, or the back of my neck. it's going to be the hebrew phrase "tohu va vohu" in classic hebrew script, which translates to "without form, and void" and refers to the state of the universe before it had any shape or order. it's also the cover of my favorite godspeed you! black emperor album. (:
the third is a pair of sparrows on my hip bones, because i think they're the most beautiful things ever.

I'm at a loss for what to say, really, except, thank you for those touching words. I'm fine though. It's amazing how a person can compartmentalize and experience life on so many separate levels. Soldiering on and moving forward to experience the little joys, while certain sadnesses dance about in the background. Lucky for me, I'm relatively skilled at keeping a balance and the proverbial stiff upper lip. I think this is one area where being an only child has shown it's advantage.

Adorable little chihuahua dog in the pics below. Yours?

Day 9-
I woke up this morning to a note

"Good Morning Prince Charming,
I had to leave, I'm sorry - Jennifer" and she was gone.

When I was 18 and half way through my final year of High School, I got called into the Principals office, Mr Traeger, he was a big tall man with a bad moustache and a smell that to this...

Day 8-

All writing is manipulation, maybe not as obvious as blackmail, or withholding, but any writer worth his or her salt uses their words to show the "what", but the truth, the 'why", the motivation is always in the subtext, and THAT's where the manipulation occurs, behind the words. So yeah, I am a manipulator, and yes that extends to mannerisms and behavior, my...

For your encouraging words, and for the picture. I've seen that image before, but have never been able to find it again. I really enjoy it. Thank you.

Day 7-

When you first fall in love you see all the potential of the world in that woman's eyes. They are capable of anything. They can do no wrong. They can fly! Really and truly between you and me, just think about it, you'll never have to admit this to anyone else, but I'm right, and you know it. When you first fall in...
