i woke up this monday morning to discover 2 new gray hairs close to my forehead they are small and newborns, really short still i was about to pull them out but... i realized i was actually kind of proud of them... of my aging so i smiled & left them there they are obvious since the rest of my hair is very dark (oh i have a couple more already but among the rest of hair, you can't really see them all the time)
i wonder how i will look when i am a 60 year old lady? or 70? if i make it that far, i hope i can still smile and hold a wrinkled hand besides me and wear all my white hair proudly yeah! one day i will be a very old woman (hopefully) and i will smile at the adventures of the new 2 gray hairs of when i was 37
to the right: the same blue structure of yesterday but one day older, today wide & spread street of 4 lanes, we just need 2 constant parallelism reigns middle-centered car look out for
silence i rest my elbows on the wheel drive and my face on the palms of my hands a feeling tastes like dust climbs slowly up my chest
a brown feeling mixture of aloofness and pain
treadmill today walked 3 miles in a trance of obtuse obscurity the ymca, the second day following the steps of my own feet head on the face not the other way around not today
i used to send pieces of stnd poetry, to a friend writer that lives in NY, in case he could publish me one day... i found one piece from over a year ago, it is not fiction. if you see closer at the picture(usually the series of stnd poetry come w/a picture) you can see some veins; and behind the camera, the bones did show, as well... oh hell! --------------------------------------------------------------- last night got amazed by the transparency of my flesh my ten fingers’ own tissue, cartilages, capillaries, little tubes the veins even the sturdy bones were translucent!
i was reading this japanese abe with a light over my head the little lamp’s so intense with that sort of beam that burns the some-hair left on your tired head sometimes too warm for the summer over-heats your brain anyway, all was ok
but then i extended my arm on top of my head in a stretching tired sign of my agedness the light behind my fingers’ flesh revealing plenty of veins and transparent lode of myself
last night i saw my fingers’ veins my internal touchable self
The life inside my head is a mess right now I feel that I have fallen in love with an impossible idea/man
When is correct to set limits to your own dreams? Shall I give up on this distant dream? every 5 minutes I think of it and I don’t want to kill a love that just starts to flourish But sometimes I feel like I am the only side interested Every day I try to come out with ideas and movies And things to call your attention But I guess I am boring and my comments are lately, Overlooked
I just wanted to have fun! to follow a flow of comments back & forth and share ideas but I am not part of that game not sure if it's the language or the hours, or that I am just... boring, and a bit dark but I am the loner commenter, no flow or follow up no exchange of ideas very nice words and thank you(s) those do come always but feels like an obligation more than exchange of fun I am just not very interesting after all
and... if the love & interest is just on my side That I can’t control I can’t control if someone feels excited to read my comments or lines or notes A long time ago and painfully I learnt that in love are involved 2 people And you can’t control the desires and feelings of another person (And gladly)
I just crave again some company (not just from a friend, thank God I have plenty of friends, but...) Not even the arms anymore I miss but but But a simple phone call Oh well… can you blame a woman for wanting to listen to the voice of the loved one? For wanting to have a fun chat? or exchange of ideas? how are you supposed to get to know someone? for at least 5 minutes per month? oh well... I don't think I was asking for too much anyway Loneliness and silence seems to be the reply to my answer to my Romanticism and love that apparently is too much...
But instead of lamenting more I did something impulsive tonight! And healthy impulsive
I finally enrolled the YMCA! And in spite of this strong head and heart aches And went there for the first time tonight! sadly my head still hurts
I have never used a treadmill before! Yes I am an old-fashioned woman I rather walk the streets but… not tonight I was a sort of a funny sensation, that treadmill… And after a fast walk combined with jogging of 45 minutes I felt a little dizzy when I came down the machine The way you feel after taking a long flight on a plane Or have been riding on a train for hours
And here this little video so old and disco and silly to celebrate my joining to the YMCA And to the gay people too heh heh such a gay and slightly 'ridicule' song but fuck it!!! nobody seems to be reading this blog lately anyway so I can write or post as silly things as I like to... That I might join soon the gay people?, since my luck with men is so bad!!! I might just date a girl now!!! or a guy from the Village People, ha! Just kidding… the indian chief is kind of cute, but I bet he hasn't wash the feathers of his indian hat in years! and they are all so gay, that I don't think they'll find me a bit attractive I will just play with the dizzy treadmill I might loose some depression and weight on the process and tomorrow is my office Christmas party and I don't really want to be there but I have to... faking smiles that I don't feel right now maybe some co-workers and alcohol will make me forget that I actually have a soul and heart that feel broken...

our lives are so beautifully fragile some days I feel like am just a leaf hovering along thin air it is a mysterious awareness, this freedom fearful might be sometimes but blissful while comprehending you are alive
Life could just end like that Or… Life could just smile at you easily Out of a miracle Full of love and surprise
Life is a time quest
Who told me this? "You are what you do with your time in your life"
Write, write, write? You are writer (no matter they haven’t publish you yet) click, click, click? A photographer (no matter if your photos are that good or not) think, think, think? A thinker (hopefully a righteous one) smile, smile, smile? then you are fine… or crazy, but that works, anyhow
And today I spent some of my time Reading this interesting & engaging non-fiction book So far page 299 and I can’t wait to finish it Thanks again miss d for the recommendation! And Erik Larson for writing it
The stories of the development of 1893’s Chicago’s World Fair and an American serial killer Holmes are tangled in this engaging and compelling story of the horrors and delights of human nature… and it all happened, not even that long ago (about 113 years), if you think globally, they were all our human fellows in Chicago, not that far either, the same planet & species… read the story, you won’t regret it The Devil in the White City
