Day Three

Today I saw myself in a negative light. I responded to someone that I love in their rude manner and afterwards I felt guilty. I took what they had said the wrong way.

Yesterday I saw rain droplets dripping on the door leading from my bedroom to the deck. They reminded me of human tears. They reminded me of condensation that forms on glass of Kool-Aid on hot summer day.

It sounded like the dripping facet in the family bathroom after somebody is finished brushing their teeth.

If you looked inside me you would see someone who has been truly humbled and does worry too much from time to time.

 The most terrible, beautiful thing is the way you remember someone after they passed. You have a tendency to forget  all their negative traits and over accentuating the positive ones. I think that is why artists and singers become substantially more famous after they passed away.

The five things I saw that no one else saw


  1. the faces of all the band members on a Gin Blossoms album cover.
  2.  the way Celine Dion has the same facial expressions that all her out and covers. It is that wide-eyed deer caught in headlights look. 
  3.   the small print in infomercials that should be common knowledge.
  4. The way my mother smiled when she presented me with a freshly baked peanut butter cookie.
  5. The way the sky changes colors in a photograph of my brother from Hawaii taken several years ago.

Celebrity Name Game

When mom met me up this morning, she was asking me which celebrity was my favorite, you know favorite female actress or male actor. It reminds me of a one, of one of those  party games that are meant to catch you offguard guard. She asked me a bunch of other questions, I answered accordingly. At the end of the game and after I was done using the toilet and eating breakfast… I wished that I would have been able to come up with better responses.  I think I said Jim Carrey and Julia Roberts. Looking back however, I would have changed my answers. Jim Carrey would have been a contender but Matthew McConaughey would have knocked him off of the top spot. As far as favorite actresses go, and still would have been Katherine Hagel, even though her career has been put on hold because of her desire to have a family. Mom then switched to questions that were of a more personal nature. That game reminding me of something I saw on one of my all-time favorite TV shows, Charmed. I think the s...

The End of The Bucket List

Noah finally reached #99 today. The reporter and photographer from the local paper had just left, when I arrived. “ The basket hit the ground safely, I see.”             “Yes,” he replied. “As you predicted, it would have been more fun with my Emilee. All the couple I went with wanted to do was swill red or white, and talk of his promotion. Emilee would have squeezed my hand lovingly and talked about the beauty of the countryside.”             “Well, Noah…They all can not be your Emilee. She was one of a kind. What’s next? I was there at the beginning when you had me write the blasted list.”             He was sitting on the edge of the bed when he looked over at me. Tears rolling down his wrinkled cheeks. “Ah, my boy, I wish I had more time on the clock, more things to tick off.     ...
