Keep on.

Grilling burgers.
Washing my son.

Washing Burgers.

Also there will be beers.
Because you only live once.

I bought a stroller that He can push around.
A baby pushing a baby stroller!?

Am I the only one that cares about the rules!?

Well Lit Domain.

You guys.
I had big plans to purchase a lamp that I had seen a while ago.
It was in the window of a shop.
I thought about it for a little bit, and then I decided that I should buy that lamp.
Maybe you spend money on stuff like that all the time.
Maybe you are a pro.
Maybe your apartment or house is full of tastefully chosen and placed lamps.

I am not like that.
I am more likely to spend my money on a screw gun.
Or maybe even three.
But you know, each one has it's own purpose.
And that is not the point.
The point is the lamp I wanted to buy for my apartment, and the pain and heartache it has since brought me.

What happened was that I finally went into the city to get this lamp, and I find out that
this lamp is all sold out.
Even though there was one in the window.
But that lamp is not for sale.
Or maybe it was, who can even remember if I had the brains to ask.
Instead I got very angry.
I stormed out and it took almost 15 minutes for me to calm down.
And in the process I managed to get into a couple of arguments with T-Dubs while I was at it.

I think maybe I was just disappointed.
Maybe a little embarrassed also.
Like it was the universal flow trying to tell me that I didn't deserve that lamp.
I don't deserve the light it would bring into my home.

But now that I have had some time to think about it, and I am no longer upset about it I like to think that it was the universal flow's way telling me that there are some things I don't want to see.

I hope you are well in your well lit domain.

The Locked Door.

There are things that I can not control.

Now that I got that out of the way, onward through life!!!

I have so many things that I want to tell you about.
Things about my life away from my old life.

I am organizing for another party.
LIke the party I had in November.
This one will be slightly better because we can chill outside.
We can have a grill.
Beers and Brats!

You should come over.
And you should bring a friend.
We can shoot the shit.

I am happy tomorrow is Friday.
We are on the ride.

Mouth Agape.

It is true.
Nothing prepares you for when they start to threaten you on their own.
He used to just shake us down with his sharky little eyes.
And what did I know?
I thought it was the most precious thing!
But now, when he crawls over, huffing and puffing and growling, and he clambers up to your eye level and grabs your throat with his grubby little mitts...
It's enough to make me lock the door to my bedroom at night.

Dudes!
For almost 3 months my Mother in law, Mimi, has been living with us.
She came out and was trying to sort out some of her stuff and at the same time help with the baby.
It was a very interesting experiment.
And it is a sad thing to have her leave.

Had she not been here, surely the Burger would have done me in by now.

I hope you are all well.
I have to make my oats.

This day of days.

Today was work.
It was extra work.
Extra work for me.

That is another one of my many haikus that I have written.
I am sure there are others.
Help me find them.

I swear that today I was ready to do some vigilante type maneuvers at work.
I was preparing to take matters into my own hands.
I worked with a dude that just seemed to get every single thing wrong today.

I stood in the cold rain.
I stood in the wind.
I cut my hand and was bleeding everywhere.
I hung three framed photographs perfectly.
I lifted and moved three separate crates.
Those crates were very heavy.

And I felt like I did all of these things wearing a jacket stuffed with bricks because of my "co-worker".

There were several times that I considered ditching him.
"HENRY!"
"PUNCH IT!"

And Henry probably would have.
Because he is a good co-worker.
And some things go unspoken between men.

Anyways.
I hope you are well.
I am doing alright.

A downward trajectory.

A man is not truly free.

I must beat the rain!

Good morning.
I heard on the radio that it is supposed to rain.
Yesterday was so nice out that I left my coat at work.
My rain coat!
It is the coat I wear when it rains.
I was so blinded by the beautifully sunny day that I was not thinking properly.
Also it was like, babe city.
I saw total butt cheeks!
Why would someone do that?
Don't they know the turmoil it creates!?

Oh my lord.
I have a tool review.
But I have to do it later, like I said, I got to beat the rain.

Take care,

Fugazi Lyrics.

You guys.
My dudes.
My hombres.

Listen, I ran away from my job today.
I was out the door in a flash!

I was RUNNING!!!

It was a long, long week.

I don't know.
I just been thinking about my boy.
I want so much more time with him.

I want to be with him.
I mainly hear about him.

I feel like I am alone.

I float in a raft.
I watch the clouds, and then it gets dark.

The Human Condition.

Some people are poison.

There are the people that relish this poisonousness.
Those people are actually villains I guess.

Then there are the people that maybe are clueless about how poisonous they are.
They just look around and figure that it is everyone else's problem.
It is never their fault.

And their cluelessness makes you equal parts angry, sad and confused.

Well, I don't know.
I just think about teaching things to my boy.
Knowledge to pass on.

I would tell him, I would say...

"Son, some people are poison."

Then we would pick up our shit and just keep on truckin'.
Because we are tight like that.

Moving back two steps.

I was so wound up today.
I woke up and made my breakfast in a flash.
I had a great ride to work.
I had a nice easy day of installing.
It was not that it was easy, but it was smooth.

Then we went and had a nice lunch.

I came home and I built a shelf really quickly.
And even that went smoothly.
So in your face.

Do you know about wild parrots?
Well, the exist here.
For some reason.

I was attacked by one the other night.

After the money is gone.

When the clouds separate.
When you are in the sky.
Then you are in the ocean.

When I am in the shower, and I have such an epiphany that I feel like I am washing off
all of my skin and watching it wash down the drain.

Or maybe it is nothing.

I want to come back to visit Wisconsin.
Who wants to help me do that?
No family members allowed!

Unless it is Nathan.
He owes me big time!!!

My family is here now.
I have to go.

Truen owes me big time also.

Mental Stove.

The Universe is an amazing thing.
I know that I didn't create it.
But whatever supernatural forces did, well...
You know.

I have some things on the stove.
My mental stove.
Things that I got cooking.

I got this baby and he is 1 year old now.
Thanks Universe!!!

Mama T's latest google search is:
chicago police teen.

Sometimes I look at that magnificent woman I married and I can't believe that she is so "with it".

And all my teeth fall out.

Coffee is on!
My Mom is visiting for Burger's Birthday.
She brought the coffee maker that T and I got when we got married.
Why did we get married?
For that coffee maker!

Well it is a very midwestern feeling here in Brooklyn.
Right when it felt like the worst was behind us and the girls would start walking around in less and less clothing, the skies opened up and dumped a bunch of snow on us all.
Freezing many beautiful, scantly clad women in the process.

You know what they say, it is not polite to point.

Well, I hope you are all well.
I got stuff to go do now.
