    Quiet Questions

    Quiet Questions

    The world is so loudAnd for what? Today we’re talking quiet, that mental stillness that comes with a breeze. The ability to shut your brain off, to keep the dinosaurs at bay. I don’t think all noises are “loud”. I could listen to some people, things, endlessly. But not my phone beeping or ads on…

    Adventures of a Square

    Adventures of a Square

    My glasses are 70’s vintage but that’s definitely not the oldest. Oh, well … probably the Mona Lisa … you know, hypothetically. There’s nothing under my shirt. Don’t touch me. I have a medical condition. Is that camera on? I thought you were just practicing! Why would you stop someone who obviously has square-ism. I…

    Plead

    Plead

    Random word of the day: Plead Shame on you Pleading with the wild flowers For a life on the breeze So desperately wanted Grasped in the sweat of your palm Everything you want Slips with the sun I haven’t been feeling the daily questions lately. They’re fine but I have trouble envisioning how to get…

    A step in the right direction

    A step in the right direction

    A positive change? Oh, definitely moving here. It’s been incredible. The people are so nice, anytime they see me out they drop food, little trinkets, it’s been great for the collector part of me. The views here are to die for. Though, if I could change one thing it would be a little less sunny…

    Alarm Clock

    Alarm Clock

    The first hour of my day looks like my middle school alarm clock. A small black technical thing with more dials than buttons and an always tepid connection to the radio station I preferred. The snooze button existed as a long oval on the top, where you would slam your hand over and over only…

    Bold but Beautiful

    Bold but Beautiful

    What was the best compliment you’ve received? The best compliment I’ve received? Ooh, let me show you. Probably this one, right here. Right down the hall here, in this corner. Dark? Oh yeah, it is a little dark in this part of the house. Don’t worry though, the compliment is on the wall right there.…

    Autobiography of a …

    You’re writing your autobiography. What’s your opening sentence? In the beginning there was only darkness and great fear. What little life achieved existed on the outskirts of humanity, dogged by monsters of our darkest imaginations. And then … light. I’m not sure whose autobiography this is from – but here’s a first (and second and…

    From the Desk of Zeus

    From the Desk of Zeus

    Do you believe in fate/destiny? Do I believe in fate and/or destiny? Let me ask you … how do you think we run this whole operation? There are some things we’ve had to automate. There isn’t enough manpower to balance this all by hand. We had to set it up after the ladies had a…

    Straight to purgatory

    Do you enjoy your job? Do I enjoy my job? Of course. I travel all over the world, meet all kinds of people … I also get a free company issued tablet. Companies can’t officially say they provide equipment to the underworld so we just say tablet, but it has a fruit of a certain…
