A relationship is not about climbing a mountain.
No, no, no. It's about building one.
And then throwing each other off it half way from the top.

If...
If you cannot be talented, be creative. If you cannot be creative, be accepting. If you cannot be talented, creative or accepting? Settle for being good looking.
Death by Pony...
I knew a woman once who was really into unicorns. For her birthday one year, I bought her a pony and in an attempt to make it look all real and such, I creatively glued a horn to its forehead.
It was swell. She loved it. Really did. And I would have too, had she not spooked the fuckin' thing and got her head kicked in.
That was definitely the silliest of funerals.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
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.
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.
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...

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.

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.

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.'
12/23/2010
Honesty...
'Honesty' is like that handmade sweater your grandmother gives you. Good for one or two social occasions, but never in moments where success is essential.
12/21/2010
Fever Solace...
What bothered him was not her stubborn independence; it was her stubborn belief that her stubborn independence was somehow advantageous.

Warriors V. Givers...
Each of us is part warrior and part giver.
And I believe our successes (whatever their form) are dependent on the degree to which we let each part surface...

Courage or Stupidity
It takes courage to give into your neuroses...rather than a loved one.
A Mother's Shame...
A mother's shame (once instilled) is a molester to girl.
A mother's shame (given years to exist) becomes a rapist to a woman.

The Beauty of Nature...
Death? Well death can get awfully handsy sometimes.
Emotionally molesting too.
But it's in her nature, so we'll forgive her.

To Success....
Let it be known, now and in the days to come, that the stalwart marrow of my hope still gnashes and gnaws its caged limbs, its voice though muted, smothered and subdued, still calls out your name, your unparallelled embrace.
Perceptions...
It is hard to take people seriously when the elements of their anger/insecurities seem to change with each new day.

Standards...
Having standards in your life is good; so long as they are not to the exclusion of what is good.

The Buddy, The Guy, And The Fella...
Hypocrisy walked in the room carrying her favourite weapon--a .45 calibre Smith & Wesson.
A .45 calibre Smith & Wesson she affectionately named 'The Double Standard.'
Gunless. Shirtless. He went down swinging without a hope in hell.

It's a Wonder...
He found living up to her standards draining and difficult. She found them entirely impossible. It's a wonder.

Redux
There are few of us in this world more unattractive than the 'fibber.'
Except, of course, the fibber who thinks she's good at it.

Humming Birds, Walks, and Popcorn...
Reciprocation is essential to the survival of any emotional/physical/intellectual connection.

Down by the Mill....
A rumour had chased her today, but unequipped to gain any real ground...it simply caught up and licked the heels of those around her.

Value...
Do not want nor require anything more than the ability to embrace the creature you are, whoever you might be, in whatever moment you find yourself in.

The Nature of Life....
What is painful...is not watching our heroes die. No.
It's knowing our belief in them will (eventually) have no choice but to die along with them.

The Truth of it....
Getting the chance to look at you, has been one of my greater artistic achievements.

Principles...
You are and will continue to be no more powerful and/or weaker than the individual you are standing next to.
April 2010
And Mr. Fiddlesticks walked back in the room--with his fugly and abhorent bride, Miss Fiddlesticks! Fiddlesticks!

And she'll wonder why he left...
She'll illustrate fear, insecurity, and sometimes jealousy...but never care.
She's silly.

States
Some are more apt to critize the things that make them confident than they are things that make them fearful.

The Poor Fella...
It wasn't until he was 32 that he realized who he was; and who is was...was a fella who wished he could be 31 again.
The Truth of it.
You will rarely find someone who boasts about being 'important' meeting the standards of those who actually are.

Mr. In. Tent V. Miss Communication
In the struggle between intent and miscommunication...second miscommunication.
As he got Older...
As I get older, I seem more interested in making things work,
rather than destroying them.
What is also true...is that this sometimes bothers me.
