it's just a little break

don't you hate it when people say that...

"i just need a little break that's all "

a little break? as in 15 minutes or like forever... please clarify... ahh well..

in this tumultuous world we call life, things like that happen... we break up and make up ... but i'm pretty sure it doesn't happen every few days... love you, hate you, can't stand to be without you... stay with me but no, wait, that's too close... this seemingly easy gesture turns out to be overbearing and loathsome... our human nature drives us to be loving, caring beings... but sometimes, it's kinda like watching Animal Planet...



Voiceover: "look at that folks. the monkeys seem to be caring for one another. loving each other. outstanding! notice how the bigger monkey is removing what appear to be ticks from the smaller monkey. amazing! that's how it should be in life folks. everyone loving and... wait! oh my gosh! now the little monkey is bitting the bigger monkey on his phalanges! cue the commercial!"



oh well... i guess it's not always hearts and flowers and love... but one can hope that somewhere out there love is searching... for me, for you or maybe for that little monkey so it can spank it on the butt...



as you were...

pick up the pace

the days have turned into weeks and the weeks into months..  and now before you know it it's October...  omgosh i need to pick up the pace..  i've been la-di-da-ing my way through this darkened forest while the whole world has been surging forward without me..

i need to focus..  i need to get it together and get going..  the world isn't going to sit around and wait for me..  so i guess i need to jump off of this tree stump and hit the ground running..  

right after i stop to smell these gorgeous gardenias...
