You are here: Home » Waiting on Time November 2, 2012 Damn, this line is long. My feet hurt from my body weight being pulled down by gravity, and I placed it firmly on my lower bone structure. It's from standing in one place for so long. I roll on the balls of my feet, trying to displace the weight. To where? I have no idea. Life's a waiting game. Wait for your mail and that vital letter or check to arrive. While waiting for a phone call, you tell yourself it will never come, but deep down, you hope it will. Waiting for your favorite amusement ride so that you can bring a little joy to your life, even if it's for only 30 seconds or more. Waiting for life to take hold and catapult you into the place you always hoped you would be once upon a time that seems so long ago.  The bitch of it all is that time waits for no one. So, while I stand here in this line and patiently wait my turn, I can only watch the hands of time tick away the minutes of my life that I" '...

I am so cold and yet I am too tired to pull the covers-up over my cold pale skin in an attempt to warm myself up as I continue to sit in my current place.

You are here: Home » Steady as She Goes. October 29th, 2012 At 8 AM, I'll go. No, I won't. At 10 AM, I'll go. Ugh, no, I just don't want to drive. The left and right sides of my mind are in such an argument. 12 PM is not gonna do it. I ain't going, I don't care, my mind is made up. 3 PM What was that pop? Shit, the power is out due to light winds from Hurricane Sandy. "Let's go, boys. We are going to Disney World! That's right, surprise! I didn't want to spoil your surprise, but I can't hold in the suspense any longer! I've been planning it all day!" These long road trips are good for the soul. Still, they're also hard to travel at times because, well, whereas before I thought thinking was good for me, there is too much thinking in my brain now. Now, my mind stretches like this highway, off into infinity. So, I try to distract myself by pretending to keep the car between the lines. But of course, with my precious cargo...
