The Time Capsule Era

Once upon a time ago, I would spend hours lamenting over life. Trying to find it's deeper meaning. The why. I questioned everything. Time, religion, fate, free will, God, love, morals, why the color blue was named blue. You could say I have a need to know, or I was just annoying. Regardless, I still need to know. I still ask. I still question. It's just a part of who I am. It's in my DNA. I accept this you should also.  I look back at the pieces I've written, some I am very aware of the who or the why. Others, I believe we're just conjurings of the mind. A moment l, an Ah HA moment. Fun fact, Take on Me is one of my favorite songs. I'm old, I can still see the video on my head from Saturday mornings watching MTV or VH1. Kids, ask your parents. Man, to go back to those times, such simplicity. And yet, here I am, letting the mind run....  Myself I am writing now To explain this I am a character in life  Reality Nothing drawn.  Sometimes, I wish I could dissipate l...

Eh, I'm human. You'll forgive me. Or not. Who am I to care of random strangers judge me for my inability to be continuously online?  I am not one to care, actually. Judge away. By all means, have at it. Just make sure you're not living in a glass house when I stroll by with my 9 iron and a bucket of balls.  I'm becoming more aloof than what is typical. More cautious, I guess you can say. It's healthy for me.  And here is your read for the night.  Gone Away Dazed and no breath Salted tears run rivers Through pressed Covergirl Emotions-  Steaming- Run wild through cold veins.  She was never here. 

Officially, by the calendar, it is Summer. And I cannot focus on work. I want to be outside. Barefooted, running through fields with dandelions and daisies beneath my feet, the sun kissing my skin.  Alas, I have to wait. Until work finishes. And then, my adult chores are completed.  But, I'll enjoy the smell of the honeysuckles on the vines and watching the lightening bugs (or fireflies) glitter within the treeline.  And I am reminded of how simple life was. Back then. Carefree. No responsibilities. Out till the street light came on. We didn't have to be in the house, just the yard.  I could go for simpler times.  Growing up On summer mornings,  I’d drag my size one out of bed To the sounds of Jewel and mourning doves Sun shining through cracked windows Casting shadows of breezy maple leaves On baby blue walls I would often behind the cherry wood desk, Where, once I found a letter from Green Gables Inn on 322 in Lewistown. When my mother was 16 she rolled h...

If someone at N.O.A.A. could please have a press release as to why Pittsburgh has become the new Amazon, this year, it would be great! 2025 has been one doozy of a year for us in the weather aspect. Well, I guess you can say it started last year. I may have forgotten about the tornado(s) that touched down within 5 miles of my house. Anywho.... It's been nonstop rain. And rain. And more rain. And the flooding, in areas that don't typically have issues. Add in how saturated the ground has been, a good storm and poof, power outages. All over. If I were to see an ark in the next week, I wouldn't be surprised. I would be hitching a ride and tossing off things that I do not find necessary. Adding in more of cute and cuddly.  I ran out to run a few errands this afternoon before the next round of storms and as I was walking to my car, the sky was this dark, incredible mass of wind and rain. There's grey, but this was a dark grey and brown. So, I load up the car, take the cart (...

There's 24 hours in a day. That's it. We all long for more time, in some fashion. To spend with a loved one skipping away, to finish that task for work, to be with our children. To say I love you, just once more. To sleep, or rather catch up on it. To read that last chapter before nodding off.  Somehow, I manage to insert moments of daydreams when I should be focused on the goal ahead.  I found myself watching Romeo + Juliet, from 1996. I remember watching it, on MTV or VHS. Kids, look that up. Your parents may have these ancient black bricks, ideally filled with birthdays, holidays, family functions. These were before CDs and DVDs and On Demand.  Life seems to be this... On demand. Instantaneous. Now. We're all fueled by this need to be on, 24/7/365.  I question this, why? Tomorrow is another day. Do what you can, enjoy life.  And for tonight, well, this morning, I leave you this... It doesn't fit the time theme, that's OK, but give pause to the lesson.  W...

Emotions run high at times. All the feels just hit, and hit hard. That gut punch that you're not expecting with a bitch slap. Yeah, life has those moments. And when you have a moment of clarity, the perception becomes quite evident. It's not always intentional, an oversight, faux pas.  And this I'll just leave here.  So many seconds I am second Hand Place Child  Wife Mom Thought 

Remember when word Art was a program on the computer during school?  Who is to say we didn't pay attention.
