Slight Breeze

Yeterday was the first "nice" day in quite some time, with temps reaching the mid 70's. It was a little breezy though, with sustained winds of 40 mph and gusts up to 52 mph.
I must have taken a stupid pill instead of my heart pill, cause I decided it was nice enough to get my motorcycle out, and I did have a major itch to ride. A friend came over and we then headed out. Riding to the north was great, but then we turned to the west, and we rode at an angle the whole while. It was all I could do to hold my lane, luckily this road jogs from north to west for many miles. The entire ride was only about 66 miles, but about 20 of it was against the wind, and another 16 was spent being blown around the lane from the cross wind. Whew! When I got home I felt like I had just finished a 300 mile ride.
Next time I'm gonna check my meds!
So yesterday was 75 and windy, today it is 35 and there is snow on the ground, go figure.
Another typical weekend in Kansas.

A Moment

Ever have one of those "Stupid Moments"?
I went to an unfamiliar ATM yesterday and fed my card to the machine. It ate it right up and let me enter all of the info it asked for. The screen suddenly flashed a message stating my card wasn't any good at their facility. I was at a loss, why wasn't my card any good?
The machine then spit my card back out, and it was then I realized I had fed the stupid thing my Drivers Lincense. Duh!

Echos

Alone and faceless, lost in the crowd
Screaming in silence, thinking out loud
Looked in the mirror, saw someone I didn’t know
When you loose your love, time creeps by ever so slow
Nothing going on and nothing is planned
Fruitless as castles made in the sand
What did I do, where did I go wrong
I’ve heard this before, I think in a song
Emptiness follows my every move
Finding no comfort nor words that will soothe
Loneliness has become my only friend
I fear I will be lonely until my end

Madre

It’s been six quick years and so much has changed
It’s been six quick years yet so much remains the same
You gave us some warning, but still left too soon

Alone I stand in a big empty room
Memories and dreams are what were left behind
I saw you today; saw you clearly in my mind

Stir-Crazy

The pain in my chest, so unnatural to me
The pain in my chest, just won’t let me be
The pain in my chest, it never goes away
The pain in my chest continues each day

My mind is so active but my body sits still
A battle rages between might and will
No answers in sight, least none I can see
No answers in sight, no answers for me

I feel an abnormal lump in my chest
The docs put it in, said it was for the best
I feel an abnormal lump in my chest
This life giving thing that I now detest

Twisting

Spontaneous laughter
Spontaneous tears
Unbridled passions
Uncontrolled fears
Saddled by doubt
Restrained by the mind
Resting while waking
Sleeping while blind

New Look

I began my blog back in 2004, and for some reason I tired of it earlier this year and took it down. I decided to bring it back to life, but with a new look and no archives, so essentially this is a new blog with an old name.
