hilahila hippocampus


here lies homer
a heavy hippocampus
who has hopes
of having
hijiki for his hibachi

a hibiscus for his honey, heather.
honey for his heteropteran, harold.
and horseradish for his horse, radish.

how may you ask can homer contain his happiness
for hijiki, a hibachi and his horse, radish?

here's how.....

homer has been to Hesperus
Hawaii, and Hermitage.
chasing a heroic heron on heroin
who eats haddock, hake
and hacks up hairballs.

he ( happily) hunted
hares, hyenas, and habu.
hovering above Hadrian's Wall
heaving hair, hail - and
the occasional haiku
at his half - sister
Hiawatha who has halitosis.

Homer hollers Halloo!!!
here's to my hallux valgus,
half price halibut,
horny horned toads,
and hijiki on the hibachi.

here lies homer
a hippocampus
who has hopes
of having Hera's
daughter Hebe
hold him hostage
until heaven calls
him home.....

use your words.....

still frustrated

i guess i need to write out my shit tonight
- im feeling trapped still
still not having any memorable dreams

i had a dream about my dad a few nights ago
he kept telling me something but i couldn't understand him
or barely hear him -
but he showed up in a dream - and that's a first

our family doesn't or didn't really celebrate the semi major holildays
like mothers day or father's day - we'd just make sure to phone them
but now
i'm going through the next year saying
oh this is the first mother's day since dad died
his birthday is soon.

i'm sure i'll have another post
i'm not done letting it all out.

frustrated

i know that in the bigger picture - i'm being extremely helpful to my mom and family
but i get so frustrated and so closed in sometimes - i dropped everything to move back here
and once i landed - it felt like i got shitted on......

and i'm still fighting the battle of digging myself of that hole called tucson
different location
different hole
i'm still digging out

o-possum

it seems that in our family - we are good at doing a few things
passing gas - although the females won't admit to it
picking up stuff off of the floor with our bare feet ( like pencils )
and attracting wild life
me - i attract cats and dogs
my brother and sister possums
and my aunt birds of prey and nervous dogs


i don't even know how this even constitutes as a post.

Happy Father's Day

I've not totally abandoned the idea of deleting this blog
or totally deleting this blog and abandoning it.... just took a 6 week break
or so.

I've set a few milestones - i guess no fast food or sodas since march 16th - i snuck a few diet sodas in here and there
maybe 6 since i dropped down back in the home hood
ive dropped weight about 10lbs or so
learned just how it is to be a good son, brother uncle and friend
figured out that even though ive been gone since 1997
that im still thought of
and considered ......

so i thought it necessary to catch everyone back up

last night i was sous chef at a party for 6 people in garrett park maryland
or connecticut ave and strathmore area
we did 6 courses
with 4 wines and knocke dit out in 4 hours
everyone was pleased
and hopefully this will lead to more small parties - or just getting my name out
to slowly get get back in the kitchen professionally

oh yes - i'd like to wish everyone happy father's day.
