Silence

Image

I wish you could tell me
How you’d like to be touched
Instead of this

Uncomfortable

Fumbling silence

We should be closer than this

Facebook Fasting – withdrawn

After sleeping on it, I decided that a full withdrawal from Facebook wasn’t needed.  Instead, I’m just not going to use the service as much as before while I work on the other parts of my life that need work.

So as I have said before, I have awoken from a long sleep – so long I am not even sure when it started. What I was forced to do with my health made me see that I have been far too flight vs fight…I need to re-grow my pair…so I’m working on knowing the difference between hesitating for real natural reasons (like a ball coming at my face) and not so natural reasons – like looking for a new job or finding a more suitable place to live or even saving money.  Should be interesting.

Facebook Fasting – experiment zero

I’m once again abstaining from Facebook.  I think I can sum it up in a sentence: Other parts of my life need improvement and I’m not going to distract myself on Facebook when I should be fixing my life.

So this is not a drill, this is not an experiment, this is the real thing…this is the beginning of the real thing.

I figure that I need to work on –

Education
Job
Transportation
Living Space
Companionship

These are all basically related to money….I did so well with my weight, and all of these things are holding me back…there’s a core…a core that I think I hit when I started working on my weight.  Something that makes me stop trying…a fear.  Something that makes me not pay attention.  And I have been so fearless in the past but not so long ago…well I got trapped.  I got out of it but not far enough….Some of my friends on Facebook are truly deep – even some that I have never met, so I will go back – I just need to think this out.  I am generally a smiling happy person and being so serious is tough for me but I think I need to do it – figure out if I’ve ever truly been entirely serious, just for a little while.  I will miss my Facebook friends.

The Rest Of My Day

mid80s_sun

Sitting in the back of the cab
I let the wind kiss my face
I don’t want a single thing
To erase
This good feeling
I have about you

Walking away from the cab
I feel the sun warm my door
But only hours
Before
I would have
Gotten soaked letting
Myself in

Looking up at the sky
I say goodbye to the rain
And see the rest of
My day
With your face and your heart
In my mind

Jimmy Lem – Cold Cover Calibration

Never really much of a “covers” player…this year, after some absence from active recording, I have put together this rather awkward collection of rather awkward covers featuring my rather awkward singing and playing – free to download, just put in $0 under “name your price” –
