The return of my little red car

Last night, at quarter to midnight, I got a call from the Seattle Police. The officer calling explained that a patrol car had found my Honda in the nearby neighborhood of Wallingford. He said that it still had its license plates and appeared to be in driving condition, so I was free to come pick it up.

Another Brutal Weekend

I’m doing too much. Maybe I’m just feeling the pressure of midterms, but I really feel I’d better pull it together. Too many important things are getting done at the last minute, and that’s a recipe for disaster.

Shallowest

Yesterday, Narelle announced that she’s getting married on Friday. And the God-damnedest thing is that, while I am sincerely happy for her and her fiancee, I’m utterly crushed by her news. This contradiction is sickening. I know it’s selfish, but I’ve just been confronted with the incontrovertible realization that her relationship with me grossly lacks the intimacy and openness that I’ve always hoped for.

More Fun Than A Tech Support Call

I sure seem to be talking a lot about working out a better balance in my life, but it’s just not happening yet. I don’t know what else to say about that at the moment.

“Uncle”

I’ve got a new gig that will be starting tomorrow and should end on Thursday. It’s really off the beaten trail for me. There’s too much drama messing with my head around this issue, and I’m not wanting to give it negative attention. It’s a far better choice for me to just be quiet for a little while.

Calling Narelle

After over a month of wondering if I’d somehow irreparably damaged my relationship with my dear friend, I finally got in touch with her this afternoon. Narelle’s down in Melbourne, so the time zone what separates us accounts for one day and five hours. As if this isn’t confusing enough, she works as a dealer at the Crown Casino where she regularly changes her work shifts. Yeah, I woke her up with my call.

Vicoden & Tryptophane

I checked into the Emergency Room over at Ballard’s Swedish Hospital at around three-o’clock this morning. The increasing difficulties I’ve been experiencing for the last week and a half, since injuring my back while weightlifting, had culminated into sleepless nights and excruciating muscle spasms. Although I’ve been working on this issue metaphysically, I found myself so desperate for relief that I would gladly make a deal with the devil for relief.

Nothing Personal

While doing my morning reading I was moved with an inspiration– and I decided, this time, to act on it. For over three years I have been in possession of two books that were loaned to me by my friend, Kerry Flanagan. The books are A Separate Reality by Carlos Castaneda and Readings In The Philosophy Of Religion by Baruch A. Brody.
