sister and nephew

I came to my folks house to visit my family. My sister is twenty years old today.. that sounds like a joke but she is actually twenty.. how bizarre.

I brought a bee shaped notebook for my nephew Thomas he is really excited. He is three he said he likes it better than the cow notebook I brought last time.

I have been sitting in the living room with my father listening to music. We were going over all of his favorite hits circa 1975-1979 and now we are listening to John Lennon's Imagine vinyl, on a really beat up record player that my mother dug out of the attic.

I will write more soon.. Joey is here now so we must head back to Cleveland. He spent the day building a barn with his father.

much peace

tea and socks and zombie bridges

I watched the debate tonight.. jeez.
I am searching for a new job and I'm very happy about that and very stressed out about the fact that rent is due really soon. Still despite the financial repercussions I know I made the right decision. And I have been able to enjoy the beautiful weather from my handy second story porch, I also have been visiting the park and yesterday I went to Zombie Bridge with Meghan and Frank and we sat in the woods and told ghost stories (after two bottles of wine) it was a good time. I also found some treasure in a shopping cart abandoned on the bridge. A music box with greyhound dogs on top and two obscure cassette tapes. One is an old demo of a band featuring a local Cleveland artist who did the murals at the Grog Shop.

That is all for now.. I am going to go make some tea and sort the socks.. what an eventful Friday night huh!

fresh

I am starting fresh.
New cosmic jokes, new stories, new laughs and new loves.
Still me, not better not even different.. just acquainted with myself in a different light.

ya hear?

It is a kind of relief that can only be reached when you give up.
Not morbidly or lazily, just release those expectations. Do nothing for anyone that you wouldn't do for yourself. That sounds selfish, but I feel the time has come. This way of thinking will not always apply, and I understand that. I just hope to start prioritizing myself in my life somewhere.

Sounds confusing.. and it is confusing.
Joey is playing at the Matinee Cleveland tonight with friends, we are walking over there while it is still nice and crispy out.

More later
Much Peace
