'tis the Season

Cupid seems far more interested in firing his arrows than he is in properly aiming them.



Sometimes...

I sometimes drink to believe in others...other times to forget that I can't.



Gently...

Strife excites me. Success as well. But strife...more so.



1/30/2011

Aye...

Truth does not lend itself to happiness.

Instead, it lends itself to understanding, which leads to happiness.





The Switch-a-Roo...

Intelligence is not perceiving your partner's contradictions, it's being in the habit of completely ignoring them.

...

January 27. Disappointment. So much depends on the audience.

Truth...

He runs after truth like a toddler learning to walk, who furthermore, does so blind folded and on a tight rope.




...

January 13. Optimistic. The knowledge of work--again. Seduction of exhaustion. The entertainment of sleep.

Gigs...

Dealing in certainties is a young man's gig.

And, oh, how I long to be young again.



1/12/2011

Two + A Bird...

Unaware of the ghastly scene set before her (the merits of which still muting us both) the song bird stood, she blinked, and she began to chirp.



Building Rome in Clinton...

& that's where she stood. Boisterous & new, on top the roof top, yelling. Screaming really...

'I want you.'

'I want you, James'

I had heard her--a couple of buildings over and a few floors down--I did.

& when I told her not to jump, to wait, to wait until I got there, I meant it. I certainly did.

Oh, but fella...it's in moments like these that they all become deaf.








1/11/2011

Detriments...

Anyone who strives for something with particular intensity, is often suspect of exclusively striving for that something and nothing more.




Scrapped Notes...

Dearest Ophelia:

I do solemnly regret to inform you that I have had the most recent pleasure of sleeping with your sister.

Notwithstanding, I must also admit that the two of you are unlike in every conceivable way. You? You being unique in your cowardice to applaud adjustment. She? She being acutely aware of intuitively knowing just what to do.

W/ great care and the hope that you'll one day admire your sister again.

Humbly yours,
WC

Types...

The presumptuous types rarely afford you the pleasure of feeling present.



Imagination...

And so it had finally passed: my imagination, having heard enough of my rationalizations, turned to me, gnashed its teeth, and shuffled off to bed.




...

January 10: nostalgia for my youth.

Progress...

Mutism ought to be encouraged. It should. But only before one is asked to speak, not after.



1/10/2011

Rewards...

Her proximity to me (not an inch or two) may have remained the most unfortunate element of the moment...had the book I had been holding not been of perfect size and weight...to wipe the sardonic smile from her face.




Control...

There is no virtue in always being cool. There's no virtue in pretending to be either.



Dancing...

On par with a sure sign of intelligence (a great indicator of it and the surest way to gain his intelligence) is not what you say about your life, it's what you choose to omit.

Prisms

Oh, the freedom she is afforded when feeling seduced, is of little importance to the cells she creates when conquered.



Today...

A cage went in search of a bird and found it's prey.




Be it Political or Religious

An advanced sign of maturity is the ability to use humour, rather than anger, in response to hypocrisy.




Lessons Learned...

The nature of a gift is its illustration of how well you have come to know someone; it is an extension of why one has come to know you.

So be assured, Gentlemen, well intentioned though you might be, the wrong gift will THUMP every one of the reasons why she wanted YOU to gift HER in the first place.







Values...

Learning to appreciate what stands in front of you..rather than what could...ought to be essential.

Unless you're about to get punched. If you're about to get punch...then...




More Productive

She found his cock more convincing than his character.

Princesses, & Swarovskis, & Pillow Sniffers...

Naive and youthful, proud and presumptions...oh, the unattainable is forever attractive.

Laws of Attraction--Redux

A new Attraction begins with an 'atta boy,' a well intentioned pat on the romp, a playful pop to the shoulder. But then Attraction catches a cold or something. It becomes gravely ill. Barfs. And retreats. Breaks a fever and faints. Smashes its head on the table. And then pisses itself.

It's quite the show really--it really is; and most of us wouldn't change it for anything.




1/04/2011

Laws of Attraction....

Attraction depreciates in value the moment it begins.

Communication...

Let it be known now and in the days to come: that in the spirited candour of our loose speech, where the sounds of our thoughts thump and drop their way from out our lips, where we remain hungry in the maddening of our chamber's echo, gnawing on the careless evening's only plot.

There is kindled in me, and in the man I have become, an eventual regret for what we just did.

Sorry 'bout that.

1/03/2011

And so it is...

Muzzles and earplugs are the hallmarks of enduring relationships.



Wisdom...

Though we should applaud her ambition, never praise a guest who gulps her wine.

Not a Mad Dash...

Inebriation ought to be an evening-long journey.

Getting Across Town...

I dare say, shooting the messenger is far easier than convincing the messenger to shoot the sender.



L.F.H.


The strongest and most independent woman I have ever met...not once uttered the word 'feminism.'
