deep thoughts and other ideas on life

i love when i'm alone in the house; it's like pants were never invented. sarcasm needs its own font. if you're naming your facebook album "wEdDiNg dAy!!!!!!" you're too young to get married. just once, i'd like to be a puppetmaster and have nothing go wrong. some episodes of spongebob make me wish crabby patties were real. first day at work? clog up the office toilet on purpose to assert dominance. sometimes i con't stop tolking in a british ahccent.

haikus are easy

but sometimes they don't make sense

refrigerator

once in a while, i make what i can safely estimate to be a 900 calorie pb&j. iced coffee, banana, two dumps ... life is good.

back to ballet, what keeps it all going

it's back to ballet for me.

it's the only thing that keeps me sane,

while sentencing me to a life of insanity.

it's a committed relationship i can't break up with;

it keeps me challenged, disciplined, and most importantly happy.

don't worry, i'll never leave you.

the beauty ...

the drama ...

the power ...

the strength ...

the romance ...

the rewards ...

... and the (beautiful) gay men.

let's be friends again!

to pass the time

i pushed down hard on the pedal and the wheels began to wobble me slowly forward. the second push and i was off. cautiously braking down the hill, a little jerk here and there, gaining speed as i neared the end of the slope. i turned and steadied out, picking up speed again as i crossed the street. it sent wind through my hair and billowed my shirt. i rode through the grass and the blades hit the bottom of the pedals in consecutive swooshes.

loose stones are not a good riding surface. nor are woodchips.

the magic of a ride ended quickly.

wrapping up & winding down

it is great to be alive.

to wake up and keep your eyes closed for an 3 extra minutes,

to take the summer sheet off your legs and leave it rumpled at the base of the bed.

to walk to the back door with a glass of water in your underwear,

just to survey the morning.

it is great to be strong.

to stand on both feet, set hip width apart in a stance of power.

to let the left leg give in to your weight and test out a sassier pose too.

to feel your knees, ankles, and feet

holding up your frame.

it is great to know who you are.

to have a pencil list of all your favorite things, with room for additions.

to be careful of your faults,

to have a purpose for each day,

knowing that the mistakes you make today can be fixed tomorrow.
