April 2007 - Stress Alive

The other day, while sitting on the toilet, my Corgi approached. He seemed to have something on his mind. Indeed, he prefaced, "deorre, I have something on my mind. I don't understand humans."

"Really Corgi", I retorted, a bit off guard in my present state of cartharsis. "Say more" (even a therapist from the toilet).

"Well deorre, I see you humans snickering and making snide comments about how dogs eat feces and lick their crotch, and other things canine. I see you mocking my canine reverie. And then I see you humans having wars, and killing, and destroying, in the name of stuff you say is important. It just seems like that is worse than what we dogs do."

I pondered this, appearing quite like the Thinker upon my throne. "Corgi," I said, "you have a very good point."

He looked at me and said "could you hurry up there? I'm thirsty."

Being Or Becoming Single

April 27th 2007 16:37

Oh me, oh my. The plight of being or becoming single can and often is a daunting experience. We are, after all, social animals and thusly need to be with. The standard format of being with in the adult world is to mate and have a spouse. To love and cherish, forever and beyond.

Aight?

So many rue the reality of being alone. Being single. They crave and yearn for a partner to be with. To sex with. To spend time and grow together, with. Some, in fact, desire this so much that they are willing to alter how they act and who they are just to make them more likely to find someone.

And then they do, and the castle is built of sand, and sooner or later, the storm and tides fluctuate and the castle becomes WAAAAY DIFFERENT.

I have found in my professional as well as personal life that finding peace with the possibility of being single, alone, for the rest of life is the best way to attract another. Or others. Paradoxical, that.

Yet, quite reasonable. Only when one gets clear and satisfied with whom one is, and begins to live the life with that comfort level, will others who find that particular life attractive fall into place. Then, relationships based upon who one truly is can emerge.

How satisfying can that be?

Are you comfortable and at peace with the possibility of being single for the rest of your life?

Sometimes When I Hear Voices

April 18th 2007 20:45

Sometimes when I hear voices
they say the strangest things.
No grumbling or unhappy noises
Just love, hope, and understanding...

No persecution, shame, or collusion
No empty words that sting

Sometimes when I hear voices
they say the strangest things.

Sometimes when I see faces
I wonder why they're sad
I look into their eyes for traces
of something they once had...

A little touch of wonder
It surely can't be bad

Sometimes when I see faces
I wonder why they're sad.

A little touch of wonder
can go a long, long way...

A little touch of wonder
in each and every day.

Sometimes when I hear voices
they say the stangest things.

Cyber-Swagger

April 17th 2007 12:37

Swagger is defined by various sources as being with arrogance, self importance, domineering, a braggart, full of bluster, and ostentation. In contemporary terms, George Bush is often described as strutting with swagger to and from the podium for his various speeches and propoganda announcements.

Here in the world of the Blog, as well as elsewhere on the internet, there is plenty of opportunity to express oneself in a way that could only be described as 'with swagger'. Either individually or collectively. The latter, in many forms, would take on some characteristics not dissimilar from certain elements of gang-type behavior and actions

Footprints Of Life

April 14th 2007 11:56

We all walk through life, leaving a mark. Whether we intend to or not. The question becomes, then, what kind of mark? What type of footprint?

Do you walk lightly, leaving nary a trace? Or do you plod through, leaving a heavy mark of chaotic imprints in the metaphorical soil? How will others remember you, when you have moved on to wherever it is you will move on to

Next time I am drinking scotch, I won’t imbibe as if “Oh no, I’m ok, I can drive.”

The Man Had Tubes In His Face

April 9th 2007 12:49

There was an eerie familiarity about the man who lay unconscious in the hospital bed. Tubes connected to various machines, leading to nearly every orifice on his face. Not to mention other unfortunate destinations throughout his body. At least his eyes and forehead were 'clear' of medical technology.

It had been years since I had seen him. In fact, I never knew him. I was way too young to remember when he left. Not even a year old. Quite an asshole, this guy. Drinking and carousing, while my mother took care of my older brother and myself. Story has it that while my mother was giving birth to me he was out getting drunk. In his favor, he made it to the hospital a bit late, but definitely on time to puke all over the hospital room. My dad

I Don't Need No Stinking Balance!!

April 4th 2007 20:56

Balance?!? I don't need no stinking balance!!

I know that many common psycho-mantras make reference to this notion of balance. Balance, we are informed, shall trump intensity, chaos, and dys-synchrony. After all, only once balance sets in can individuals or collectives establish predictability, organization, and moderation
