I discovered one of the wheels isn't as smooth as the others. I will have to go back to the store to have it fixed. There were no people at the park, but I did see one guy sitting alone eating something. I think I just have to go earlier, around 9 am, so that I can be more sure I'm in the time frame when people are busy at work or not yet awake. I ( Read more... )

When I drive alone, I am aggressive enough to be unsafe. That should worry those who care for me. I am not sure why. Getting on the 880 North from Jackson St-going home. On that entrance, there is a merger from people coming from San Mateo. I was ahead of a large van, which was coming closer to me. I decided to speed up to stay ahead. It still was ( Read more... )

I injured myself a little this afternoon. It was but a scratch, a bleeding lip. I was trying to move the TV forward so I could insert the cable from the DVD player to the back. The widescreen cathode-ray-tube TV was too big for the shelf, so the front part was already jutting out, and the back of the TV touched the wall. Not only that, this TV was ( Read more... )

My image of myself when ever sitting down to read is that of an octopus. I have in each tentacle a book, and I read several at once. It is unfortunate I have only one pair of eyes that must be focused.

I was Nate.

He used his email address.

After getting a hookup scheduled, at 2:30 am in the morning, he drove me to the hookup guy's house. He texted back and forth, and I went to the house and saw him standing out the door waiting for me. His face was mild. I imagined that he was someone who found living in the Castro too expensive and lives farther ( Read more... )

Ten years from now, I will be 33. George will be 22. He will have finished college if he was to go. I will be just a creepy old man like any other, watching George have his girlfriends, getting married. I'll be the odd cousin, well-ignored, but full of sage advices, and brittle in emotion, bursting at the seam.

I will be a man of quiet, failed

I sometimes hate being one in 16 people afflicted with being incredibly attractive to mosquitoes. Then again, maybe some of them get trapped in amber. Who knows? Maybe 65 million years from now, there will be a movie made by some future species about extracting DNA from mosquito trapped in amber, and cloning it to make a dangerous snarling version ( Read more... )

Statement of the obvious: Being deaf it is hard to participate in a world where conversations happen by poor enunciation of the lips and hidden, reticular movements of the tongue ( Read more... )

I must have overdone it at the farm yesterday. My wrists are hurting when I move them around.

I forgot to tell you what else I did yesterday. I also went to Walgreen and bought some things. One of those things was lip gloss, cherry, from Burt's Bees. This happened because when you and I were last together, you kissed me and left your gloss upon my lips, which when I went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror at myself left me wondering ( Read more... )
