people told me slow my roll

epic shopping fail:
went to purchase gluten-free crackers at the store the other day
returned with four boxes of fruit pies
in peach, lemon, apple and cherry
oops

may be receiving a visit from the tummy faery in a bad mood




we did some rearranging around the house
moved some things here
moved some other things there
it appears that i will actually have to get rid of things if i want more space

having space is emotionally expensive
maybe i'll just have a nap instead





my little rat dogs are catching and killing rats in the back yard
at least it's a better use of their tiny killer instincts than reducing the family pet bird population

it is hilarious to watch them charge into the laundry room ahead of me
threatening and trash barking at whatever rodents might be hiding behind the dryer
as i toddle in their wake with an overly full basket of clothes

ransom is really the ringleader, actually responsible for the dirty work
while grace darts back and forth on the side lines
dispensing advice regarding bite grip and shaking techniques that she saw on animal planet






a message on facebook informed me the other day that my college ten year reunion is coming up
and i had a grosse point blank moment
considering whether or not to pop over for a bit and see what's what
as i feel that i may have gone in a slightly different existential direction
than many of the people i previously shared riverside campus space with





i am approaching trinfinity
in a few months i will be thirty years manifested in this physical layer
and i am watching my overlapping threads of existence start to form a visible pattern
binding me closer to the source
while releasing me from the constraints of inertia and confusion

everything is shifting and separating and reorganizing
into a composition of raw truth and authentic meaning
and i am waiting to see
who stays
and what fades away

    LOVED Grosse Point Blank. And almost anything John Cusack. Just saying. :)

    Trinfinity was interesting to me for only a day.

    I'm only a few months away from trinfinity as well. (ok, so it's not until January!) I am already mentally preparing myself for being 30. so much so, that I sometimes forget that I'm still 29. I'm still in my twenties. Whew.

    I'm thinking the sugar is as tummy-ache inducing as the gluten. Should've bought chocolate fried pies, then you'd have had the serotonin increase to make you happy in spite of the tummy ache.

    Trinfinity was a happy time for me. Cinqfinity, not so much.

    you may almost be 30...but you'll still always look 12... (-;

    i had to skip my 10 year reunion because i was doing grown up stuff...like buying a house....would like to see everyone again...but i guess that's why we have pleo and facebook...to keep up with everyone's crazy lives...

    30 isn't bad... approaching 35 becomes more of a nightmare daily...

    Man, you're old ... you should definitely come to the reuniony activities, though. I'll be there, which absolutely makes it worth the price of admission.

    You wouldn't be the only one who went in a slightly different existential direction than your riverside friends. :) We'll be there, and would love to see you. :)
