I am (II)

I am: in transition and wondering about my future
I think: the world went to hell in a hand basket . . .
I know: I miss writing
I want: new teeth
I have: questions, too many
I wish: I could find some answers
I hate: goodbyes and temporary crowns
I miss: the old me
I fear: insomnia and more root canals
I feel: like I’m on the verge of something, maybe good, maybe bad
I hear: a fan cooling my sweating cueball head (I shaved this  morning)
I smell: a lit cigar
I crave: being 8 years old again running through my neighborhood
I search: for signs of my Mom and Dad everyday
I wonder: about my new neighbor next door and the fact that he wants to swindle me (NOT)
I regret: not finishing college and working retail. I’m so much better than that
I ache: for calm, for indigo breezes and purple sunsets
I care: about the future of my three wonderful girls (I am: so lucky)
I always: look before crossing  Boylston Street
I am not: perfect
I believe: in dreams
I dance: when I’ve had too much Maker’s Mark
I sing: because I can
I cry: more often than I believe I should
I don’t always: look before crossing Boylston Street
I fight: to stay alive
I write: because I can’t afford therapy
I never: wanted to be President
I stole: my wife’s heart
I listen: to things no one else seems to hear
I need: a creative kick in the ass and to play my didgeridoo more
I am happy about: my dear friends from Australia that will be here in less than 3 weeks.

Just updating my life status is all.
This post may turn out to be a monthly occurrence.
Tanks for the nudge, M

    I like these types of posts because it gives a person a little insight into the person behind the blog.
    People like glimpses such as this, although some of us could do these things for you almost
    :music:
    Actually, that could be quite the interesting exercise now that I think about it..maybe we could challenge a couple of other bloggers to see how they do on one another {and no, we don’t get to do each other..so to speak!!}
    Once a month post? Good idea..it makes you look into yourself and that’s always a good thing…


    Look for more glimpses.
    Especially over the next month or so . . . :hat:

    The Aussies are coming again!
    Well, I hope no other bloggers plan to join you…we may never hear from them again. That’s still an unsolved mystery…in my book. Speaking of books….that might make a good book.
    If only I knew a writer… :sly:


    If you only knew . . . :happy:

    nice one, I like the idea of breaking out of the mold with something altogether different.
    I hear you about the teeth though….i am in bad tooth hell.

    Sucks don’t it?
    Damn.

  4. Nice little post. Might give it a try myself. Monthly? Doesn’t sound like a bad idea. Might even give that a try. I like the idea of it. I’m in fear of my first root canal and pray it’s my last. :neutral: Enjoy your company.

    I am not a newbie to the ‘root canal’.
    I have had over 12 in my life and can’t say I enjoyed any of them.
    Knock me out and have your way with me. :sick:
    Amen.
    Damn.

    There are so many possibilities of finishing these statements.
    I find myself surprised yet not, horrified yet comforted at how many of the big ones seem like a reflection of myself.
    Just this simple realization helped me get up this morning. Thank you.

    PS. It’s good to see my name on your blogroll still

    Even nicer to see a comment, S
    Look for an email over the next few days . . .
