The past is another country

03/10/2010

There is a scene from Miami Vice where Don Johnson is driving in a black Ferrari at night. Phil Collins “In the Air Tonight” is playing (one of the few times his music is put to good use0
He stops at a pay phone and calls his ex, or soon to be ex-wife. He asks her if the way they were had been real. She responds that is was.

I saw this scene over 20 years ago. It has been in my mind a lot lately. I would really like to call my ex and ask her if it was all real. Not the bad times, those were real. But the good times. I do not know how she would respond. She would probably defer back to me, was it real? Was I real?

I don’t have an answer.

The past is another country, whose memories are spoken in another language.

I thought I was a scoff law, but Joey Brooks rides through red lights, between traffic and yet it all makes sense…he never has to slow down. Great views of New Orleans too.

I don’t understand

03/02/2010

As hard as it has been
as numb as the pain makes me
I know it will get better
not in my time
but in time

but it is never so hard
never so dark
never no one who can care or help
that you have to end life.

there is too much to do
so much to see.

I don’t understand.

half of one…

Physical therapist says that I am compensating for my back pain by shifting the load to my left. I need to cross train since all the cycling I do has fouled up my back. She suggested swimming. So I joined the Y and went for a swim this morning. Unfortunately, I have such a horrible swimming style that my neck hurts…back feels great though.

bad photoshop. at least i hope so

If this isn’t a bad case of crappy photoshop, then this woman has the most out of proportion body ever. Her shoulders are bigger than her head! Not to mention the difference in skin color.

it’s like that
