Skill

Today I saw a seagull practicing its hang gliding. I wonder if it was having fun.

A lie

is a curse...

A curse broken only with the truth.

The longer the duration the lie has existed,
the more insistent one must be with the truth.

A lie is a cancer.
The truth is a healer.

Lower your pride,
raise your voice.

Beckon, "send me a healer!

Lord, send me a healer..."

Senility

I just put an empty mug in the microwave on high for 1 minute, 15 seconds.

(sigh)

The chin wins again

Me: (walking into joint)

Dude: slightly wide-eyed look

Me: quick-Nodding recognition, looking away

Dude: Dude!

Me: thinking this must be a tv recognition moment

Dude: Nice beard!

Me: (moment of recognition)

Me: Thanks.

Twice this past week, I was complimented on my beard.

Kinda knew what was coming. That's not a completely rare occurrence. Y'all young boys need to step your beard game up.

Last night I was told, "you're a good leader".

That's something I've thought I'm not very good at, but kinda wanted to be and thought was an ability I'd not claimed.

(fear)

It was the first time that's been said to me. I didn't even realize that I was "leading".

Maybe that's the best kind of leadership.

Or just the kind that works for me.

Say cheese

I just had my first "I have to take your picture " actor recognition experience.

Interesting.

And I didn't even run away.

Just overheard outside the Vanderbilt

"...'cuz he a limp-dicked fag - and no disrespect to gay people..."

I just played "Flava in Ya Ear"...

and I think I'm reliving that moment when I realized I don't like "Wild
Thing".

(as in Tone-Loc)

Histry

I just saw a man limping the wrong way down the 8th ave bike path wearing a SWAC championship shirt with GSU on the right.

We are currently a marginal Division III team.

And that doesn't completely bother me.

My philosophical opposition has begun overtaking my interest/enthusiasm.

Not that I no longer cut for the home team,

I'm just more concerned about the home team doing something more important than touchdowns and shallow state hubris. 


I think.

Formality

One day...

If you are looking

(observant),

you may see a man,

walking casually,

with locked tresses so long that he has to hold them draped over a bent arm:

like a royal or noble keeping the tails of his robes out of the dust.

Plumage

Today I was told my beard looks fake. Earlier this week (or last?) I was asked if I dyed it ("really, it's jet black?).

And yet, I come from them red-haired sometimes red-toned folk... 

Yo soy

muy, MUY,

full of isht.

confused.

thoroughly.

Sitting in the courtyard of the library

on an ever less-seasonally cool Saturday afternoon...

after several minutes of power nap...

reading a couple chapters of Burroughs (with his overwrought ass)...

may not be "everything".

Today, however,

it is enough.
