Wellbeing, Life, Memory Loss, Writing, Change

I lost my train of thought. “The tuna salad’s ready,” my sister Amy called from the kitchen, so I meandered off and left it somewhere back there. I was gonna bring us to this area, anyway, eventually, to my driftiness and frequent absent-mindedness and- It’s here where I have trouble. That other stuff? It’s part of the progression of time and- Yeah. Lapses of memory have been with me for years.

Young people love them some debate, these days, it seems, but they’re so enamored with the arguing that they forget the argument.

Our Red Fort experience was amazing, and our consensus was that this new location beats out the Meridian location in aesthetics, comfort, as well as dining – not to mention that it is closer.

The Curse Of Polarization

Commentary

Sociopolitics, Polarization, Opinion, Philosophy

Maybe one of the worst facets of polarization, to me, is how it causes me to go over this shit in my head, rifling through it like I’m hunting for the cure for cancer. When all one needs to do is shut the fuck up, shut off the mind, and listen. Start out by listening. Then look about, take in what you see. Objectively on both accounts. That’s how you reset yourself from having fallen into this kind of hole.

The Return Of Tallow

Commentary

McDonald's, Fast Food, Apple Pie, Beef Tallow, Health Consciousness, Mistakes, Dining

I will never not shake my head at McDonald’s decision to give up both deep-frying anything they had to deep fry in beef tallow, nor at the one to not fry the pies in anything but, rather, bake the fuckers – both choices in some weird-ass, misguided attempt to make their fare “healthier”.

All Things Must Pass

Journal

Reunion, Music, George Harrison, Friendship

Embitterment came when my fever dream of holding onto everyone I’ve ever cared for ended. I looked for blame, you know. It’s whomever’s fault this happened or it’s because of that, when – truly – nobody could’ve foreseen it, nobody could’ve veered away from it happening.

Reunions Revisited

Reunion, Friendship

One’s schoolmates if from a small community did, afterall, accompany a fucker throughout a lengthy, formulative stretch of life and, when a reunion does roll around, it comes with a promise of their return to one’s life, if only for a day or weekend, souls once bound tightly ‘round memories and early accomplishments and perhaps they still do, though distance and time do their bit to weaken all ties that bind.
