take five

i am taking 5 for myself - - minutes probably -
its all i get anymore.....i've found out lately that im very felixble - or flexible - to the point of dis-location but not separation

so i corner well - and if bumped - i can right myself usually
and step back into my 5/4 lifestyle

fly....??

it turns out i can't fly after all - not that I actually tried -
but i sometimes close my eyes and spread my arms in the wind - waiting
for an inch of flight off of the ground - but it never happens and i open my eyes and i'm at work - still being called el diablo by gerardo......

if i knew what to do about this - i'd sell everything and travel the world

wait.......

interesting seeing how this is 2008

ok you tell ME what it is ...

wisdom comes from many places - since i have not been many places
lately - just work and home

i got it from work.....

" You help everyone else, but who helps you? " Kevin M.

i didn't have a legit answer

just because i am capable of working almost everywhere in the kitchens at work
doesn't mean i should have to

guess what i'm wearing

so im at work - but let me preface the story by saying people
say the strangest shit to me all the time
like that i look like punk from i love new york - not true

or even back in 1998 that i looked like hootie
not too sure about that either

but at work people tend to say stuff to me - that is " crass " a new word i am starting to use in me ever expanding vocabulary

so this cook i shall not mention names - was wearing blue nail polish
and i asked her is she wearing matching socks - she said no but i am wearing
something else that matches.....

we sort of have a history - i will embellish later on

but after reading this i guess that you really had to be there .....

i'm a world traveler

so yeah i was at this wedding today - in some country adjacent to water
it was actually sunday the 14th - and it was moon cake day - hence the joyous
celebratin' and a big ass pot of soup

so yeah I don't know any of these people - it was all a bad dream

i add some photos to my page to seem more wordly and wildly popular
but it is not working....

this is mainly what keeps me up at night

Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being in love which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two.

another to ponder

i think this may be my new koan

" you have to pay a toll to cross any bridge, monetary or otherwise." Nicci B.

this is the chesapeake bay bridge -
coming home from college i got a flat tire 3/4 of the way over the bridge
i looked out my rear view mirror and saw the hubcap go over the side of the bridge...

Burrito anyone?

ok since i live in the old pueblo... i know of a few good burrito hot spots
los betos
nico's
paco's - my favorite purely based on location
and chipotle - yes the mc donalds owned fast fair ( as my dad calls it )
chain of burrito - style burros and all the fixins
but if you do the research - they are serving really fresh - and good quality
burritos - for the masses who have not had the fortune of actually having authentic
sonoran style mexican food -

( those are the same who prefer their burritos - chimi changa style)

but there is a burrito that has found me - - it is a gf/cf style
made by the more than regularly famous Nicci
( if her website was up and running you could check it out here )
it is a turkey chorizo, yukon gold and vegan sour cream burrito all stuffed in a brown rice tortilla

wait before you un-bookmark this page - conceptually and theoretically
it works and taste wise --if you are following the gf/cf diet
its the bomb diggity
its all that and a ham sandwich - minus the bread because of the gluten

Freckles are Sexy

ok I'll admit it i am a fan of freckles -
but only on or around the nose slash face - or where ever
i had the luck of inter mingling with a few
one was recent - a shoe lacer in modesto-
she put the caps on shoelaces so they won't unravel
i still think she was the one... but
my the one's always end up crazy
