IN DATING, I wonder why people feel it’s impressive to tell you how good they are in bed? Imagine how ridiculous it would sound if they told you how great they were at loving? And here’s the point: no virtuous and experienced potential lover needs to advertise a thing. It can be read in the […]

Hein, qu’est-ce que je dois faire? C’est vrai je dois bien finir quelque part Loin de tes terres, de ta mémoire Je voulais juste te dire au revoir Juste une dernière fois te revoir Avant que j’erre, que je ne m’égare J’aimerais qu’on se serre puis qu’on se sépare – Le Rempart BON VOYAGE! I […]

THE BRIGHT LIGHTS OF THE DARK SIDE People with tiny minds seem to forget something about those of us who have suffered tough childhoods… In the case of a sociopathic parent, chances are – that parent was brilliantly charismatic, highly achieved, and supremely competent in the public world while …triggered privately. In the case of […]

What are we really saying when we’re speaking? As mentioned in this You Tube video on language, while a Roman Emperor said once that knowing a second language gives you a second soul, Juliet in Shakespeare says that a rose by any other name would still be a rose and still smell as sweet.

Otherwise Do you remember that time I said to you that I was the only one who didn’t lie to you? Your wife, her kid, my sister and the too-afraid: I was brave, yet scared and still didn’t lie to you. I wonder when you took down the frames. What stories you had for your […]

Illiterate I was completely illiterate. But you spelled it out in black and white! Despite such clarity – our decisiveness had such subtexts like regrets. It’s a dead language now that does not exist. I’m to make way for the archeo-anthropo-logist decoding scratches scriptures, hints into some existence persists like infection. It’s a dead language […]

Peanut Butter In time you’ll know where to buy the cheaper peanut butter and bags of spices just like one day, you’ll wake up or maybe it’ll be as you’re going to bed and realize: you are over him. Not from grand therapeutic solution or a magnificent, inspiring conversation nor through delusion of the hot […]
