Notes from a Friend's Town

1. It's the allure of the game that keeps calling my name. The injuries from last season tend to keep my ass on the bench. 2. Christmas 2010 (or sooner) I think I want Apple's latest creation, the iPad. I'll wait until Christmas to make sure the kinks are worked out. 3. Saints Super Bowl is definitely the way to kick off a new decade!! 4. This business of studying the English language, it's grammars & syntactical details, & the like have the potential to become my next obsession. I'm hoping to connect some theories to further my own understanding. 5. I picked up Corinne Bailey Rae's latest album, The Sea and am quite happy. I'm really just a sucker for her voice, she could probably read me the details of a UN resolution & would have nothing short of my full attention. 6. She spotted me like paparazzi & shot me a glance in that cat woman stance. It was the remnants of the coldest winter. 7. I've only been at this business for 3 da...

Readings from right to left direct these eyes to read left to right as reading left to right tells these eyes that they are allowed no holiday & rewarded with no prize. Eyes as weathered as these are offered no respite ...

1. It should be noted that I strongly despise being vindictive. There is, in my humble opinion, no reason for reasonable adults to conduct themselves in a manner akin to the antics of grade school children whose good will has been quite readily ignored. The sad fact remains that I am indeed human & as a result, occasionally relish in listening to all that the silence carries to my ears. 2. There are blogs which exists for a purpose & blogs which exists for the author air their grievances with the world in the hopes that some like mind person will offer their sympathies & echo their frustrations. This blog, for the most part, is neither. 3. One of the most annoying things about being recognized by your peers as "brilliant" is that until you achieve something monumental, they will not find acceptable the minor accomplishments that encourage "ordinary" people to smile. The notion of impressing your friends is akin to the notion of impressing your mother, ...

The moon's light held in her sights all that made wrongs right all that reduced journeys to short drives & flights all that moved my lungs to descend into my chest away from the light all that my arms held when my finger decided to write all that strengthened my knees & lifted my back when my strength would only allow both to crack all that my eyes desired to behold as their swollen shut lids demanded a towel that was cold All that i've known was before me in the moon's light just pass the tips of fingers
