Xe Máy Độ-Xe Máy Độc: new normal

Unfamiliar places

I rode my bicycle to Whole Foods yesterday....

I stopped at the river to reflect....

and remembered how close to the skatepark this is

Sunset

I grew up with a good sized creek in my front yard

..and the Wabash river in the woods in my backyard

As a kid I spent a lot of time at the water's edge

Making boats to float down it

Looking for snakes, frogs, fish and crawdads....

It's strange to remember those feelings and sounds as an adult

I can't help but hope that if I ever have a family, my children will get to experience the same thing

and not just on weekend visits to the grandparent's house........

I am glad this wasn't plugged in

Moyou needs a friend during the day--no amount of chew toys can prevent this...

Parent teacher conferences till 8 tomorrow....that is a 14 hour day folks.....

Going to miss first Thursdays at Thai Taste again so I made my own green curry tonight

The new normal.........

B for L

"The haunted man"

Red Curry

Rounding out the evening

Vegan red curry and grading

new normal

tired of cooking alone

Daughter-Youth

Shadows settle on the place, that you left.
Our minds are troubled by the emptiness.
Destroy the middle, it's a waste of time.
From the perfect start to the finish line.

And if you're still breathing, you're the lucky ones.
'Cause most of us are heaving through corrupted lungs.
Setting fire to our insides for fun
Collecting names of the lovers that went wrong
The lovers that went wrong.

We are the reckless,
We are the wild youth
Chasing visions of our futures
One day we'll reveal the truth
That one will die before he gets there.

And if you're still bleeding, you're the lucky ones.
'Cause most of our feelings, they are dead and they are gone.
We're setting fire to our insides for fun.
Collecting pictures from the flood that wrecked our home,
It was a flood that wrecked this home.

And you caused it,
And you caused it,
And you caused it

Well I've lost it all, I'm just a silhouette,
A lifeless face that you'll soon forget,
My eyes are damp from the words you left,
Ringing in my head, when you broke my chest.
Ringing in my head, when you broke my chest.

And if you're in love, then you are the lucky one,
'Cause most of us are bitter over someone.
Setting fire to our insides for fun,
To distract our hearts from ever missing them.
But I'm forever missing him.

And you caused it,
And you caused it,
And you caused it
