Colorful Days

Posted on March 3, 2010 at 12:31 pm by / 0
So I’m getting pretty used to not having a life…what with working a full time job M-F (and many Saturday school Saturdays) and taking three classes…I have time to hang Wednesday night (which I have designated my swim night and therefore sacred) and Friday night (open to whereever the most magnetic forces pull). Saturdays are… Read More

Gerunding Happiness

MY FAVORITE PARTS ABOUT BEING ALIVE TODAY signing up for a pool membership that scans my hand and makes me feel like I’m on The Jetsons fantasizing about long swims that start with a shock of cold water and slowly warm up to become meditative questioning whether empathy is more continuity or change, some internal… Read More

Stalker

A song is stalking me. About a week ago I was all kleenex and madness…and I asked my roommate Jason to play a song, any song… I was just so desperate for a distraction, something to get my mind off of things…and of all the possible permutations in the endless playlists one could rummage through,… Read More

I just wrote a long blog about the purpose of life, at the repeated requests of a friend, and alas, the internet gods have destroyed it…I have no idea where it went. I was pretty happy with the original, and I have no time to rewrite it completely so this will be the purpose of… Read More

Ola Hadi, September 25, 2009 Please, I. I begged you to take an hour and go down the street instead of to a war zone to escape your inner battle for me for you for your worried mother to see someone who can help you see you though this low valley that’s got you going… Read More

“A Celebration of Toys and the Art of Play” — Michael Klam at the San Diego Museum of Art, Sunday, Feb. 21

I’m proud of this one (because it has been so much fun) and looking forward to performing as part of SDMA’s Joaquin Torres-Garcia’s wood abstractions (including his Aladdin toys) exhibit. I’ve written a series of poems as a teacher, father, and little boy in a grown man’s body. The poetry is in dialogue with Torres-Garcia’s… Read More

Both my last blog and this one have featured Ted Washington and Shabda Alexa Sanchez. They reappear in inspirational blogging part 2….
