Goodbye

I've said goodbye to loved ones, friends, and family.

I've said goodbye to pets, toys, and cars.

I've also said goodbye to dreams, fears, and hopes.

None of which were easy, saying goodbye never is.

But none of them where as difficult as saying goodbye to the 'Best Summer I Never Had.'

Today I enjoyed...

A Tennessee Three-Way, and it was amazing.

Waxing Bloom

I have been safe and comfortable in my bulb the past decade.

Things and thoughts dear and true to me have arrived and departed.

Photosynthetic growth of imagination and responsibility has been fruitful and abundant.

The seasons envelope single-file around our planet like the mythical Ouroboros,
              and I have done many things, great things, and I also have done few things, small things.

Now my flower begins to bloom.  It is the beginning of my time.

Rare as the Titan Arum's flower my waxing bloom of life, but with a little good luck and hard effort hopefully not as stinky.

10 to 1 Revisited

To whomever had money on my designated driver from June 30th made off like a bandit.

10 to 1 odds, yet pulled through.

Thanks Dad.

Friend from Foe

As I slowly enter into the middle stages of my life, I've decided that one of the best ways to judge the ethical and moral core of my friends is to see whether or not they've made the bed after staying over for a night of drinking.

This naturally extends to family as well.

Happy Birthday America

IT HAS BEGUN!

July Johnson

That time of the year to go chasin' down that dirty old Jake Spoon for accidently shooting the sheriff's dentist brother with a buffalo gun again.
