the diplomacy of assholes

Oh world–you aren’t gonna be easy. Part of the reason I live in Denver was to try and get to know my birth family a little more intimately because really–getting to know people who look like you and sometimes do act like you was a pretty interesting thing. I thought it would be great and…

should we stay or should we go

Hmmm is the answer to that question. One thing I am convinced of is I don’t want to be in a country and around people who were keen to sell us off to the highest bidder. Us, I mean, the general us as Americans and yes, us, as sick people. Given the percent of the…

so it’s December

Well here we are–freakin December and it’s another year gone. Progress this year? Um, there was the court thing, um….yes, I got married, put him on insurance, signed up for a bunch of classes on getting myself organized, drop shipping, and copywriting. I avoided a scam with Michael Force–I have learned actually a hell of…

because nothing is what it seems

Don comes home last night after my day immersed in thinking about family dynamics and asks me if I want to buy a house in the general vicinity where he works (Parker, Elizabeth, Elbert County). “Uh…how are we gonna do that, you need like 10-20% down?” I ask him. He tells me he knows someone…

what is your definition of family? mine is likely not the same…

Interesting lately watching the world pass by us as it does…Don and I, I had mentioned, are pretty distanced from all family members–birth adoptive, who I picked up last year, you know. I kid, but for years the idea of family didn’t really ring any comforting bells because these people I was handed off to…

the stitch of a crick leaves more felled to the back

The more I come back, err, the more that comes out seems to be bringing some of my floated poetry back into motion. So many years, so many poems scribed on dinner and cocktail napkins–a friend of mine had so many, collecting them behind a bar we were working behind. There were men, sure, they…

the history’s in question but there’s an end in sight

I’ve made these weird allusions to the way things have changed recently even just with an answer–and all of these things, they point to a conclusion, for once. I’ve tried writing this shit down…and I’ve felt ill-prepared in many ways to go back there to the points of terror, of uncertainty–of even the time I…

being thankful, yet just trying to get over it all…

So guys…thanksgiving was, for me, a pretty standard thing anymore. If you’d been following along you’d remember I traded a pretty decent circle of support and friends…a chosen family, as it were…I traded them in for a different life in Colorado a half dozen years ago now and though I feel regret is a waste…

on suffering

Interesting quandaries I have found myself in lately…but for once in my life–I know I am not the only one wondering how my body could turn against me so explicitly. I know there are other people out there suffering and celebrating anniversaries with some expectation of hope and change, and not the Obama kind but…

Would Heart Surgery Later in the Day Be More Successful? Maybe so.

Something Worth Thinking About I found this earlier and thought…hmmmm. What do I do with this? I think there are a lot of people scheduled for these quite the opposite. Every single time I have had a surgery it was very early in the morning and there was never a choice. I assume this is…
