Time

Tiny things I notice all the time
a half smoked black and mild
strawberry flavored chapstick
jammed between the sidewalk crack

Wondering about all things
that will be in the future
you know after we are all gone
200 years ahead

Saddens me sometimes
to think of things new;
old and thrown away
todays sudans
tomorrow's junk car piled
up like metal mountains

Holidays approaching
I'm going to enjoy
before its history

Are we but much different
our youth and beauty
strong and vibrant
yet we are falling into
being wrinkled and gray
day by day

Things I don't want
to think about
but have no choice
when I talked to my Grandma today

Once she
was more like a movie star
long locks
and high cheek bones

I have to acknowledge
or at least
consider
I too will wither...

Moving along...

Well things are... moving along. My relationship is in good standing, seems like we have finally gotten to the place where we understand each other much better, and we are able to communicate our feelings easier. That is actually a HUGE bonus. She has alot going on right now, and I'm showing her plenty of support. Ive been really busy with work, and other projects. Looking forward to the upcoming holidays with my family and friends. I'm very concerned about what my partner is going through with her family right now. As I said earlier I'm being supportive, you know helping her through all of it. I'm worried about how things might impact the relationship at some point. I hope I'm not being selfish, but it's an observation. She may even have to change her current living arrangement. All I can do is hope that things work out for her, and then for us. Everyone has issues, I just I hope I am able to maintain through all of what she has going on. It's funny, I use

NYC Birthday!

Image
My partner took me to NYC for my birthday on February 12. When we first arrived, I was in awe, as our hotel was right in the middle of downtown NYC and although it was 12 midnight...it was after all the city that never sleeps and the hustle and bustle was on. I saw people walking, talking, and waiting in line at Foot Locker. I snapped this picture as we arrived, its the Empire State Building.  The next morning, I woke up, and I was bouncing in the bed with excitement. I was ready to hit the city and find an adventure. And I did, my partner dropped me off (parking doesn't exist, LOL) at the nearest Star Bucks so I could make the coffee run, the closest one was in Times Square! I stepped into Times Square and my jaw dropped, the full color billboards, the taxi's honking, and hundreds of people swarmed around me. I felt like I was on a set of a movie and cameras were rolling, the energy was surrreal. I loved it. After taking some photos, like a true tourist! I walked into the
