Sticky Thoughts

Gotta go forward; I don’t know where I’ll end up, But here goes nothing…

Take me out unto the day, Take me from this night; Drown the moon, Set sun alight, And take me far away. Play me then a merry tune, Play me from my woes; Banish mind, My thoughts compose, And play my afternoon. Hide me now, and keep me blind! Hide me from the truth: Darkness [...]

I’m finding myself, There I am; then lost again. Where should I look now?

Same thing, Same thing Every day; No change, No change In work or play. Steady, Stagnant, Tame decay; Tired, Familiar, Life as cliche. Uncommon, Different, Something new; Defiant, Disturbed, Contrary few. Surprise, Confound, Avoid routine; Live life As human, Not as machine.

They say that wherever you go, there you are – “they” being, of course, that inexplicably all-knowing, strangely anonymous yet supposedly unerring font of collective human wisdom from which I would ordinarily try to take any advice with a grain of salt. After all, if they’re anonymous, how do you know whether they actually followed [...]

I know this will wind up being a very short blog post (especially for me), but then, there’s a lot going on: a move is a big thing, after all. But I’m no longer scared. I’m excited. Sure, there are a lot of uncertainties, but I’ll try to just take them as they come. And [...]
