Define Empathy
We lay in a park on a towel which reminds me of disco. We’re surrounded by bikes, sandwiches and sunblock. He is reading a smarter level of literature, while I sit with the safety of a NY Times best seller. There are people playing softball, churchgoers kneeling on the lawn, dogs running, there are layers…

Burned
I am a negative. I have gone to certain places and experienced a certain amount of exposure today. And I might know the amount of time which went in to today’s experience and all that I saw. Time (right now) acts as a fixer. My skin will (eventually) let me know what disaster I put…

Saturday images
Today we are going on a big long bike ride. We’re headed south through Brooklyn. We’ll take the Brooklyn Bridge up over into Manhattan and then who knows. I am really excited. And though I woke up in the middle of the night yelling, “SON OF A FUCK” because of a crippling leg cramp, I…

Oz
Last night we finished watching the entire first season of Oz. It was quite good, captivating. The ending was a bit much (in my opinion) and perhaps moved too far in to a plot it might have trouble removing from. (All this assuming it plans on continuing). Then again, I don’t know much but I…

Toby
Toby is going in for his big tests today. He prepared for it all day yesterday. He drank a fluid that “does things” to you. I won’t go into details, that’s not fair. I hate the thought of him “going under” as they call it. But I think that’s more of a selfish thing as…

Therapy
My family never said therapy is for the weak. As a matter of fact I really don’t have any idea how my parents felt about it while I was growing up. I think, at times, when I had a rough day at school or someone made fun of my traced-hand-turkey drawing, I may have run…

Blogeration
Having a “blog” has proven to be fun, therapeutic, and really friggin annoying. Do people actually judge their worth by whether or not they are linked on some website somewhere? Is it like friendship bracelets from middle school? I have half a mind to get rid of all of my links, not to sound shitty,…

Alias
It’s funny how often I bring this show up. I have only seen it twice but I have another question. Last Sunday, during a rerun of Alias (where they recap everything and she was the hot art-show girl), there was a song played midway through the episiode that I really liked. I watched the credits…

Mac and Cheese
Toby has been ill lately. Becaues of his illness, I have been able to go back to my roots and eat like a good American, (i.e. badly).Yesterday, I stopped in the local C-town and left with one box of Kraft Mac and Cheese (the powdered cheese kind), two things of Kool-Aid, Jell-O (sans animal bones),…
