What I Learned Sundays – Change Happens

Blue Lines, What I Learned Sundays

I have easily said that there has been a change in my life, and there has…but it has been a result of the dearth of changes that came before. Am I a changed man? What does that change include?

I saw a friends Facebook page, and looked at the focus of his life amidst his own ordeal, and saw the center and focus on his family (READ: children and wife). Though the grass oft looks greener on the other side, I can see how genuine his love for his family is. Why did that resonate to me? I think because that was what I wanted. The wife, the kids, the house. Sit back in stability. I thought in terms of “We,” and the greater “We.” silly, no sentimental symbols would show off our union, though in the end it was not about anyone else.

I dislike that I can’t see his 808’s show. I also love Esthero in the background. One of my favorite songs from my fave Kanye album.

Outside Lands Music Festival 2015 Review

Look at all of these people!!! 

   
Those few words were a clear understatement of a festival that I easily looked at as the best of times for everything surrounding it and the experience, however at times it became unenjoyable, not due to the organizers themselves, but in response to its inevitable growth.

I have not been overly inspired to write in some time, since about 2012. I have forced myself in some cases the last two years. I don’t know what to call this write, it’s new, a 5 haiku stanza piece that I tried to inspire myself to write.

8/18/15

Am I the reason…
You smile so bright and cheery,
Or is that a dream,

Can you make me love,
Again like I did that time,
Is it that easy,! Continue reading →

What I Learned Sundays – In Time (assisted by FKA twigs)

This post topic has been one that I slowly phased out in 2012, with one reappearance in late 2013 due to the senseless violence, and a child being shot at that time. I met the child who survived a bullet wound to his head.

When I think of how time affects the way we think about concepts in life, I think about LOVE and the impetus to write my manuscript Blue Lines around 1998.

LOVE then was idealistic, and without a basis. We could conquer worlds. LOVE would lead us places together. To quote Keypsiia Walker’s discourse in Blue Lines taken from the person she was based on, “If two people love each other, it doesn’t matter if they have a Benz or it they have a bus pass. I think love is stronger than anything in this world.” Young love is willing to go all metaphoric boundaries. Continue reading →
