The Other Side

I looked on the other side of the fence, and the grass is dead over there too.

The Annoying Blink

One of the four strands of lights on my Christmas tree is blinking...just one. I can't tell if it's supposed to do that or if one of the bulbs is loose. It's annoying to look at, but at the same time I can't look away.

The Mask

I wear a mask that smiles and laughs and appears in every way that everything is ok. Because I can't show the real me. The me that misses you. The me that hurts every time I think about you. The me that thinks about you all the time. Yes, I hope that you see my mask and think that I've moved on, that I'm happy. Just don't look too closely, because I know my eyes alone can betray me. Just focus on my mask, because the mask is better than the truth.

Weird Dreams

I've been dreaming about long lost friends and not so long lost friends and family a lot lately. I'm not sure if it's this new milk I'm trying or what, but the dreams have been wild, far-fetched, and completely crazy. So if you've been getting a vibe that someone is thinking about you in some weird way...it's me!

Good Advice

The electronic sign on the side of the highway today said, "Caution: Watch for black ice and yellow snow." I think that's good advice.

Cold-Weather Drivers

Driving to work today, I realize there are two kinds of cold-weather drivers. Those who; when a single snowflake hits the ground; panic, slam on their brakes, skid out into several other cars, and cause a 3-hour delay in traffic. And those who decide that a road covered in ice is the perfect time to see just how good their high-performance driving skills are, and then proceed to push the limitations of their car's abilities and endurance. Because Goodyear tires on a truck automatically have infinite more traction than Goodyear tires on a car.
