it’s on mornings like these…

… with the nip of coolness in the air when I can’t help but wonder about what lies ahead. For the most part I live in the present doing what needs to be done and chugging along. This does not mean I don’t have goals & ambitions… I do. But the need to make those long term plans is not something I was particularly good at. For instance, when I was 8 or 9 I …

still thinking about it…

… Memory Monday (or the return of Picture Daze) that I suggested a few posts ago. I’m a little ambivalent at the moment. A part of me wants to dive into it but another part is feeling… well, lazy. Let me think on this some more. This wasn’t the weekend I thought I would have. Saturday I continued sorting out stuff from the office. Sunday I decided on cleaning out the truck. This included cleaning …

I started a project yesterday…

… and as a result the office is now livable again. It was a slow start (with 20 minutes of work and 10 of sitting periods) but gained momentum as the day progressed. There is still some sorting to complete today but the bulk is done. I was thinking about my current modus operandi and compared it to how I use to do things in previous lifetimes. There was a time I would dive head …

off to the DMV…

… to get the truck legal. It’s at the mechanic’s at the moment getting two year old fluids swapped out, tuned up and smogged. Hopefully, by tomorrow (after another visit to the DMV) I will have new tags and it will be running legal. Last night I was over at the watering hole for one of Fingers B’s birthday celebration. He has several planned this week which will culminate in a big Suicide Lounge show …

back in the saddle?

Not quite… though I am closer than I was this time last week. Truth be told there is a part of me that may be looking for a new mount. (OK… scrape your mind out of that gutter… NOW!) Went out to the park last night on a paying shoot for WSF’s “Richard III”. (In local friendly circles it is referred to as “Dick 3”.) I have several friends in it (including Jaguar Bennett who …

Wednesday… really?

Once again I feel the days slipping by. Kinda like those “moving camera blur” scenes in movies from the days of yore. Adjusting to a different modus operandi than the one I’ve been living the last 2 years… slowly. I’m sure it would move a lot faster if I had an inkling what I want to do… but that will come too. I did a Big Lots run yesterday with the lovely Joy. Only spent …

cool morning

As in… nice cool morning. Though I still have an iced drink at hand… an iced coffee to be specific that I’m sipping on while I write this. Friday’s gathering for Mum’s 40  day was nice. Even my cousins in Australia got into the act visiting via Skype. The food was good and it looks like everyone seemed to have a more than pleasent time. The big bonus was that the clean-up the next day …

early in the morning… early in the week…

… somehow that rings with the promise of new opportunities. Not always though. There have been periods when it felt like just the continuation of drugery. This week… or at least today it feels more hopeful. It’s all in the mindset, isn’t it? Do I know what it is? No. It’s a bit like that song from “West Side Story”… this one. OK… maybe without so much excited youthful expectation… but it’s a forward moving …
