Stars


“It’s a star”, she said. I have thought about stars. I have thought about stars when I get out of my car and the night air is clear. I have thought about stars when I am trying to sleep and I need to clear my mind. I have thought about stars.

There’s a sort of dizzy feeling you get when you look up at the stars. Your eyes lose the horizon and, for a second, you don’t know where you are. Unless you are out in a remote field laying on your back and looking up at them. I wonder what those stars are doing now?

“I’m a star”, she said. I have thought about stars. I have thought about certain stars. I have thought about stars when I get out of fancy cars. I see stars in my head getting out of luxury cars and walking down red carpets. I have thought about certain stars.

Shooting stars have a power over people. I always think about where they are coming from and where they are going. I wonder what those stars are doing now? I get that dizzy feeling when I look up.

“It’s a star”, she said. I have thought about stars. Small dots of light from where we are that, apparently, burned out millions of years ago. It makes me feel very small. It makes the world feel very large. That’s not a bright star in the sky, it’s a planet.

“It’s a star”, she said.

Top 10 Cartoon Duo's

This time out the subject is Top 10 Cartoon Duo’s. I was only going to make this a Top 5 list but I had so many entries to work with, I added the last 5. Here’s the list is no particular order – wait, that’s not right… 10. Ren & Stimpy: Call this entry the ‘Odd Couple’ of the group. A cat and a dog (I think) living together and making their way despite their obvious instincts to be sworn enemies. I have to admit that this cartoon was hard to watch sometimes because of the ‘gross’ nature of both characters – pooping and boogers a big part of the vernacular. “Oh, Re-e-e-n?”, “Yes, Stimpy!” 9. Inspector Gadget & Penny: An uncle and his niece go around solving crimes against Dr. Claw. It was actually Gadget and his dog, Brain, that tried to solve the crimes and Penny that actually solved them. She would tell Brain the solution and that crazy dog would expend a great deal of energy trying to make the Inspector understand the solution. Finally, when Inspector Gadget would ‘stumble...

I hate being sick

I think that pretty much sums it up. I really don't like being sick. I don't like that feeling of being weak or vulnerable. I don't want people walking up to me, saying "can I get you some tea?" or some crap like that. I'm not so weak that I can't get it myself. I'm also not the kind of person who takes a lot of pills -- except when I'm sick. I pop pills, I'll drink weird fluids... anything that will help get me over my sickness faster. I really dislike the drain on my energy. I like being able to do what I want to do when I want to do it. I don't like sitting at home, catatonic, watching Dr. Phil and Regis & Kelly. What kind of crap is that? It really does NOT work for me when I'm hungry and I don't feel like eating. On an average day, I'd rather drink something than eat. I'm usually more thirsty than hungry. If I could get all my nutrition from drinking, I'd probably do that. I'm not talking about those thick s...

Turpentine

I watch you grow away from me in photographs And memories like spies And salt betrays my eyes again I started losing sleep and gaining weight And wishing I was was ten again So I could be your friend again These days we go to waste like wine That's turned to turpentine It's six AM and I'm all messed up I didn't mean to waste your time So I'll fall back in line But I'm warning you we're growing up I heard you found some pretty words to say You found your little game to play and there's no one allowed in Then just when we believe we could be great Reality it permeates And conquers from within again These days we go to waste like wine That's turned to turpentine It's six AM and I'm all messed up I didn't mean to waste your time So I'll fall back in line But I'm warning you we're growing up We're OK I know we're OK These days we go to waste like wine That's turned to turpentine It's six AM and I'm all messed up...
