Dear Silent Reader



Hi,

Happy Birthday. I miss you. I think about everything we don't share anymore and I feel crazy wuzzy. Or neutral. I am remiss. It is easy to back and forth all day with nothing to show for it at night. It was certainly like that yesterday. All the reminiscing of our Sundays at the cafe, but I'm not blaming you. I wanted to tell you that our distance made me homesick. Always was an escape artist, I still am. Since I'm here whilst you are the one who is away to Dublin.

I meant to do these things more to keep my thoughts occupied: meditate,travel, meditate, write, meditate, read, meditate, stuffin' my narrow esophagus with Swedish meatballs like how a turkey gets at Christmas. I did the last one again yesterday, minus the choking (thank-you guys). I go through cycles where I forget to play, to be a kid, to self-fornicate; skip to my own mojo. I don't know what a mojo is, but I think I need one. Lil' Junior sat to my right and sang me a doggie-song last night after my visit to town. I loved him more in that twenty seconds than I've loved myself all my freakin' livin' years.

Thing is, I don't remember which arc of the circle I'm on, I just continue, round and round. I fear the judgement often gets to me and gets me to stop what I want. Even where I felt most free. I now feel like wasting time, like losing fights, but not hopeless. After all that looking over my shoulder and freaking out I'm just calm or numb, something uninspiring. Like the quiet after a heavy downpour: fresh and battered. Wet and a tad salty. Immobile. This isn't justification, though. Just a thing to go through. Like everything.

I must wrap up for now. It's a new week. I must tend to more mundanity.

Please don't worry about me.
Though I 've a feeling you've done much less of it now.











"Walk on a trail of loving kindness
Walk on a path of compassion
And all else around you will be beautiful."
XOXO

MiChi said...

haha, I so perasan, thought that you are wishing me "happy birthday"... heheheh...just kidding! Anyway, diverge your focus, like don't think of his birthday, but others who have the same birthday like him, then you will be able to occupy your mind and dilute your sorrow.

Have a nice weekend!

Hello! What is Emo King rambling about? Ken probably read twice but Grandma read 10 times!!! You were talking to the Red flower izzit? Muahahahaha! From white flower to red and what's next? Of course, the clue was Dublin and no wonder your passport stamped "United Kingdom" yearly. As I have blogged that life brings unexpected falling shit sometimes,so we need to carry umbrella always!

Twilight Man said...

By the way this post has exploded itself inside the blog-can from toxic gas and fermented typo! Quick call the BOMBA to wipe out. LOL

Twilight Man said...

Grandma has cross stitched 80 yarns of wool to make a scarf to reach Siberia and your blog has not moved an inch!!! Shrieks! Why so slow aaaarrr?

Twilight Man said...

Hey I think you need a technician to fix your blog cos it's still not showing that it got updated. Now I blame that since you kena Maple-Flu from that Canadian asshole and your blog has never been the same again. Even the Plastic Egoiste in Penang didn't even know you have manifested into a white flower deity!! Muahahahaha!

Twilight Man said...

When are you going to remove the stupid Blog Approval censor?? It is not a shy thing like removing a sarong laaahhh! Quick quick buka lah!

Twilight Man said...

Okay enough spamming, gotta pack my luggage now and head to airport. Update today ok! Sawadee Kap!

Michi ~ Happy Belated Birthday! and thank you for your kind advise. I'm alright, really. Just a lil' ramble that I decided to pen down since it wuz in my thoughts. :)

Savante ~ I' do know I'm blessed. :) Thanks ya.

Beng ~ I'm wondering the same. I'll ask Medie. :)

Jerry ~ hope all goes wel for you at shithole then :P :)

William ~ and also with you! :)

Twilight ~ Ooooo this Granny has recharged herself in anticipation of the Phuket trip huh!

OMGawd, granny rambling so much shit in here, and she's gotten the spamming H1Nfoongpc1 virus. lolz Isn't great to know that peeps take the trouble to come into my blog. Then again, others who complain of the difficulty of coming here should probably ask the more intelligent ones. :P
