Took a little trip down memory lane tonight, in spite of the danger.  

A life spent on the banks, alongside the river of change.  Helplessly following the ripples as they fan out, until losing sight of each, merged into the greater body of water.  The watcher.  What he wouldn't give to jump in, but each year, each day, each moment, the gravity of choice cements, binds.  So the consummate observer stands alone, specializing only in words to describe the action; a dozen, dozen outcomes that'll never come true.  Finally, it dawns on him, the realization: the many ripples were his own teardrops all along, falling.  Falling all along.

Lunch: grilled chops, cabbage, fried green tomatoes 
Dinner: egg muffins, cc, squash
Midnight: candy bar, milk, depression

holee shite it's hot out. finished my run somehow, but it was brutallus.

i have this strange urge to swim today. maybe it's because my summer y membership expires in a few days, or the fact that it's just hot, but i need to do something, and my current video game library sucks.

maybe i'll just lift. i'm bored. this is one of those rare times a girlfriend would be nice. i'm kidding, a girlfriend would be nice.

TERRIBLE HEADACHE. went to sleep at 11, woke up at 4 with splitting headache, woke up again at 9 with splitting headache, took medicine, drank coffee, sweat a swimming pool, went back to sleep, woke up at noon. 13 hours of sleep and it's finally gone, but that was a brutal dream/headache marathon.

20140814-2

Thoughts take motion behind his eyes
A gentle reminder of a rough reprise
Four symbols granted to one unclean
Each a remainder of division unseen
The photo of youth, taken unaware
The strand, the last lock of her hair
The bottle, a gift consigned in mirth
Lent to the turtle of enormous girth, and
The key, carved so he'd never be alone
Stored in a closet once called his own
A wind sweeps down, wild and untamed
No one but himself left to blame

20140814

The day slipped from his grasp, as if it'd never happened.  Two cups of coffee led to demon utterings and caged regret.  Fear is the only boss round these parts, and some thoughtless asshole turned on extra respawns.  Why do I insist on waiting for some impossible body goal before throwing myself into the fray.  Why does it matter, why do I have so many stupid barriers, why all the qualifications. I can't entertain them.  I live in shytown.

Lunch: don pollo
Dinner: chicken, tots, cc
Later: banana 

Avoided church and will bury the guilt deep.  Walked the dog and she saw a former classmate, was social with parents and almost did okay.  Watched adventure time but again the exhaustion tugs me down towards whatever.

pulled kiddo kicking and screaming to a japanese restaurant to try something new. it was marginally successful. i told her we're going to try at least one new restaurant every week, and i was fine with her picking, as long as the last name in the restaurant she picked wasn't "pizza".

kiddo has been a little dizzy today, i'm a little worried about her since she crashed into another go-kart yesterday. she did spend the entire day yesterday swimming after it happened, but sometimes these things have a delayed reaction. urgh. her desk is together and looks awesome.

she's spending tonight with her cousin, and hopefully enjoying herself more than she let on to me.
