I remember I had bought
candy bars for the other kids
in class the day they had the
school dance back in grade school.

I left the candy bars on their desks,
and tape recorded the dance while
I hid under a desk – afraid to go into
the gym where the dance was being held.… —-> Continue…

Is what you say what you mean?

So how well do you think you know what
the people in your World are saying?
Do you know if that’s what they meant??

There are a handful of commercials from a cell phone

can really ruin a conversation.… —-> Continue…

How well do your excuses work?

I’m sitting here procrastinating something
that many people actually enjoy.
Singing; more specifically karaoke style.
I found a place in Vancouver that has Karaoke Night,
and was informed that their karaoke begins at 9pm.
It is 9:23 and here I sit typing you !… —-> Continue…

Thank You for being my Friend

very LOUD sounds – of barking
dogs meet my ears, and

Will I be a customer today… or lunch ?!
The four legged carnivores met me first,
tripping over themselves trying to see

A while ago now I caught
the opening lines to a song:

“Just gonna stand there
and watch me burn
that’s alright because
I like the way it hurts…”

For those of you who know

this is the only part I heard.… —-> Continue…

You are where you are. Where will you go from here?

I tried explaining to my son the other night
that we are where we are right now in Life,
and that nothing can be done to change
anything in the past that has led us here.
