Ten Curiousities

-
I have a curious mind. It seldom rests (without pharmaceutical intervention). And for some reason, I feel the need to share. I share nearly everything anyway so it shouldn't come as a shock to anyone. In no particular order of importance...

1. It's been eight years and she apparently still can't openly communicate with me? Wow. I must be a bigger threat than I first estimated. Good to know.

2. I'm 'intimidating'. That explains a lot. Thank you.

3. A young gay man thinks I'm 'pretty' and wants me to 'teach him dirty things'. Hmm... It might be time to change my look.

4. If she misses me and I'm 'in (her) thoughts all the time', why doesn't she ever talk to me? Weird.

5. Two text messages. No response. They say 'Silence is golden'. I'm more inclined to think it's confusing.

6. If what I think is abnormal is truly normal, I think I'd prefer to be abnormal.

7. I'm half fearless. Unfortunately, it's the philosophical half.

8. Being 'clinical' rather than emotional about sex does have it's benefits.

9. Half naked pics of a 'Hot Friend'.... I think that says it all.

10. Shouting at the wind and getting a blank stare back isn't as unmotivating as I once thought it might be.


I prefer to think of myself as more ADD than random. Others may not agree. Thanks for reading.

My Biggest Fan

-
It comes for all of us. If we're lucky. Right now, I'm not sure I feel lucky, but I know in the days, weeks, months, and years to come, I will come to realize that I am. Or I was. My parents are elderly, eighty-four and ninety-two. From where I'm sitting at the moment - my mother's hospital room - it's doubtful that my mom will reach tomorrow, much less eighty-five, So here I sit. And write...while  my biggest fan lays a few feet away snoring like a freight train. Her snores mean she's still alive so rather than drowning them out with music, I listen, Intently. Because each one could be her last. It's the drugs - her pain was pretty severe - making her sleep so soundly. These same drugs, the ones that keep the pain at bay, may also hasten her death. Her decision. She's been kicking cancer's a** for the past seven years. My mom's no sissy; she can endure. But this isn't the cancer, the known quantity. This is an aneurysm, a ticking time bomb...

Ironic, Actually

-
A couple days ago, I posted my first ever vlog. It was  just me reading an old blog from December 2018 called, "Courage, Actually." I chose it specifically because it's about accepting life's challenge and fearlessly stepping outside your comfort zone. Making and posting a video of myself was a big step outside my personal comfort zone - in fact, I have long said it's something I would never do - so I felt the topic was timely and appropriate. Reception of the vlog among my Facebook friends and followers was immediately positive. I breathed a huge sigh of relief. Courage for the win. I worry, though, that I have falsely painted myself as some courageous-comfort-zone-and-fear-defying crusader. In reality, that's just not me. Not these days...and I think it's time for me to come clean. It's kind of ironic, actually. And hard for me to admit. This might be the barest I have stripped myself in a long time. For the past few months, I have been mired in ...

Be That Person

-
 A friend texted me last night. Her almost twelve year old son is starting middle school today and she was more than a little stressed. I guess it's somewhat normal for parents to be nervous about such milestones in their children's lives. I mean sixth grade means a bigger school, perhaps switching classrooms, more complex homework assignments, etc, etc. I'm sure there's also some wistfulness about the whole thing. The "My baby's growing up" kinda thing. My friend's concerns last night (and again this morning) were far larger. You see, her son is different. He always has been. Not only is he on "the spectrum," he also has Tourettte's. And he's on the fringes of non-binary. Plus, he lives on the border of Texas and Arkansas in a place that is far from open-minded and falls just below marginally accepting. This is the land of conservative politics (ie Trump), gun rights, big religion, and the concomitant "family values" that i...
