Every Day You Play...

Every day you play with the light of the universe. Subtle visitor, you arrive in the flower and the water. You are more than this white head that I hold tightly as a bunch of flowers, every day, between my hands. You are like nobody since I love you. Let me spread you out among yellow garlands. Who writes your name in letters of smoke among the stars of the south? Oh let me remember you as you...

Me: Just keep practicing. Kegel exercises might also help.
[REDACTED]: I'll get it eventually.
Me: Let me know when you do. I'd like to work it into a juggling routine.
[REDACTED]: That would be awesome! I wouldn't think juggling would be a good idea with vertigo though.
Me: Oh, I still have mad juggling skills. Ping pong balls would be no problem.
[REDACTED]: They'd be a little slimy. You should start practicing now.

An addendum to my previous post about Indiana

Just to clarify, I have nothing against Indiana. I’ve only spent time there once, back in 2000 with a different now-ex-girlfriend, to visit her friend who was in school at Earlham College (strangely enough in the city of Richmond, Indiana). It involved a broken condom and an unexpected trip to Planned Parenthood in Indianapolis to acquire the “morning after” pill*. This trip took...

On a serious note...

I feel like I write the same blog post every year on April 19, so I’m going to switch it up a little bit this time around and share a story that most of you haven’t heard. This date on the calendar has been a tough one for me in the past because it’s the anniversary of some really bad things, most notably the Oklahoma City bombing. You see, my family lived in OKC at the time and...
