Anecdotes, tangents and more. Why I’ll never be a Spanish speaking, musically accomplished ninja…. July 7, 2014. My Summer 2013 “To-do” List:. Take a weekly martial arts class. Learn to play the guitar. Learn to play the ukulele. Morning at 8 am! Practice the piano and get good again. I woke up, one time, at 6:45 to go to Water World! And I just started a blog, too! I’d call that making progress! Gets in the way and we realize that we can’t do everything. Or maybe a more direct culprit is. My “idea...

Slinkies, Spotify, and Steven | HIJKLMNOPAUL

Anecdotes, tangents and more. Slinkies, Spotify, and Steven. July 12, 2014. July 12, 2014. Well, I should be doing homework right now. Instead, I am listening to Spotify and playing with a green slinky that I got for free a few weeks ago. It says “Google” on it. It’s awesome. But the slinky is irrelevant. Right now I want to talk about my Spotify account and why it is so important to me. The Spaces Between My Footsteps. Those Eyes →. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here.

The Spaces Between My Footsteps | HIJKLMNOPAUL
https://hijklmnopaul.wordpress.com/2014/07/08/the-spaces-between-my-footsteps
Anecdotes, tangents and more. The Spaces Between My Footsteps. July 8, 2014. I clench a fist of lawn. But do not pull it out. It sits smartly in my hand. While snugly in the earth. I can perform it, really, I can. My skin drinks the photons. And in turn, my body laughs. This is what it means to live. I walk my shoelaces,. They drag behind me. But my mind is back there with them. And my heart has germinated. And I want to get to where I am going. But at the same time. I want the spaces. Thank you so much!

Summer 2013 | HIJKLMNOPAUL
https://hijklmnopaul.wordpress.com/2014/07/07/summer-2013
Anecdotes, tangents and more. July 7, 2014. July 7, 2014. But let’s focus on this. Summer. How should I describe this. Simply labeling it as “perfect” like I did above is nondescript and fails to adequately portray these past months…. This summer has kind of been like the Chinese food I just finished eating! But in all honesty, it all comes back to my friends. Without them, my summer would be nothing. Renting and riding around on cruiser bikes in the rain. Doing arts and crafts together. Traveling to Den...

Anecdotes, tangents and more. Peter’s Shadow: The Untold Truth. July 7, 2014. I have been beyond bored over the course of this nine hour drive from El Paso to Pueblo. I’ve been experiencing the type of boredom of which I’m sure we are all familiar; I begin one activity to keep myself entertained, but then quickly flutter to another and then another, unable to find prolonged interest in any of them. Is his shadow. His shadow reminds him that yes, he still does exist. He can look at it and declare,. I am c...

Anecdotes, tangents and more. The Night We Stayed Up, Counting Lightning. July 19, 2014. July 25, 2014. Our bedroom is on the upper level of the house. We live at 4304 Muirfield Drive. From our windowsill we can see for miles: the brown ocean of prairie; the Harley Davidson building at the edge of town (just this year it was blown over in a windstorm); and farther still, the silhouette of the rock giant, Pike’s Peak, named after Zebulon Pike, an American explorer of the late 18. I thought. And we sur...

Anecdotes, tangents and more. After Closing–a Haibun. July 21, 2014. July 21, 2014. Victoria C. Slotto, Author. Photo: findingtheperfectworld.blogspot.com. I sneak into the Pub after closing. The air still zings with the echoes of poets and their words. Energy pulsates. I touch words leftover, discarded in favor of others. I can’t let them lay there, rejected, so I scoop them up and slip them into my pocket, bulging now with promise. The Night We Stayed Up, Counting Lightning. Victoria C. Slotto. You are...

Anecdotes, tangents and more. July 12, 2014. July 8, 2014. You are eating honey with chopsticks. The honey is (of course) slipping off of them and. Landing on your Santa Claus face. It crystalizes the bleach-white hairs in an amber-like fashion. They are enveloped and suspended in the golden goo. I tell you that you have honey in your beard. You chuckle- your desert lips part to reveal. Three oasis teeth in a vast landscape of. Tongue and gums and space. Your face folds on itself indefinitely. The Night ...
