The waiting is the hardest part
Tom Petty wasn't kidding.I've spent three months waiting for Rachel to get back in town. And now it's down to 3 days. You'd think it would be easy once it gets to this point. It does. But the despair over interminable separation is now replaced by th...
It's All Good (revisited)
About a year or so ago, I wrote a blog about the phrase "It's All Good". I was not speaking of it favorably. In fact, the phrase is a bit of a pet peeve for me. I cannot remember when I first heard it, but it might have been when it was featured on a...
The most important device
It occurred to me this morning, as I had my first overseas Skype chat, that "devices" play an interesting role in our lives. From time to time, we go through different objects that become the most important device in our lives. Just thinking back, fo...
Sick of Goodbyes
This has been a tale of many hellos and many goodbyes.Over five years ago, the first hello and goodbye came in a single day. A fleeting, yet captivating acquaintance, and the expectation that it would probably be goodbye forever.But it wasn't. Some t...
losing control
i promise i won't keep going with this lowercase letter thing forever. but for some reason, right now, it feels like the thing to do.i have always known that a big issue for me is "control". and i don't like to lose it. and that single goal drives a ...
are there really more important things than writing?
well, yes and no.sometimes life becomes absorbing enough that i cannot bring myself to sit and put anything down here. i cannot decide which topic is the one that i will write about, if it has been days, or even weeks. and i am on the verge of needin...
No black box
If I died right now, there would be no black box for my life. No tape that recorded the final 30 seconds of what was going on in my mind. No way of piecing together the trajectory that my life had taken, and understanding what went wrong, and where I...
Airplanes and Airports
I like airplanes because they take me places that I have never been. They take me places I want to go. They go high in the sky, and the earth seems like a tiny model planet, like you'd see when you played with one of those little train sets as a kid....
One year ago...
One year ago this week, I could not possibly have known that I would be here today, writing about what I was doing one year ago this week. It goes to show you how pointless it is to answer questions about "Where do you see yourself in one year?"Thoug...
A picture is worth 1,000 words
A picture is worth 1,000 wordsJust to see your face makes me sureThese are things of which I am already sure, of courseBut seeing it written in features and formsInstead of words from far awayMakes it so much more realTwo pictures are worth 10,000 wo...
No wishes for the ether
No wishes for the etherI saved them all for youNo prayers for the hopelessMy thoughts with you insteadNo love to empty placesMy heart stays by your sideNo dime spent on lost causesNo more, not this timeNo wishes for the etherNot even on this dayLife'...
Misbehaving
Here is a question that I pose to you: In your relationship, do you feel that you ever, sometimes, often misbehave?What do I mean by that? Well, it could mean any number of things. I am specifically not referring to "jailable offenses" such as infide...
Mixed Signals of Spring
It is March 9th. There is snow on the ground, and in the trees, but it is still light at 7pm. The temperature is 35 degrees, but I feel the energy of Spring. Warm things are heading my way. Though there are probably three more months of clouds to com...
Determinism, fate, randomness, or free will... who the hell knows?
I've told you about how tiny strips of paper with phone numbers at bus stops can lead to cross-country treks, PhDs, life-long friendships, and rock-and-roll stardom. The butterfly flaps its wings in China, and it rains in New York City. And if you lo...
Arranged unhappiness
This needs to be vague, to protect anonymity, so bear with me.I have an acquaintance whom I always have thought might be gay. I would not say that my "gay-dar" is necessarily 100% accurate, but it's pretty good.After the holidays, I ran into him, and...
Since people understand law and justice so well...
LOS ANGELES -- California voters have adopted a constitutional amendment outlawing same-sex marriage, overturning the state Supreme Court decision that gave gay couples the right to wed just months ago.This is the thing about our system of government...
