going forth

"u r a gem." - the mother of the kids i babysit, to me, via text message



this is an important film: groups of middle-aged white men are vastly under represented in mainstream media!



"total eclipse of the heart"


i am in a bar.
it is tuesday.
it is two thirty in the afternoon.
i am by myself.

outside, it is chilly and raining.  inside, "down under" by men at work is playing.

a year ago today, i was in a country home in connecticuit, baking bread, sitting by a fire place, reminiscing, and celebrating a one-year anniversary with an ex-partner.

today, i am killing time before work because my therapist canceled our twelve o'clock at eleven forty-five.

too far to go home--too cold and wet to be outside.  

"you're love" by the outfield comes on as i a nurse a brooklyn lager before i go serve people brooklyn lagers.

i didn't own the shoes i am wearing today a year ago.  i didn't own the pants, shirt, necklace, bracelet, scarf, or socks i am wearing today a year ago.  

i'm fairly certain that my underwear is more than a year old.

how long do most people hold onto their underwear for?
