I saw this poem for the first time today and it broke my heart and made me cry:

But You Didn't
By Merrill Glass

Remember the time you lent me your car and I dented it?
I thought you'd kill me...
But you didn't.

Remember the time I forgot to tell you the dance was
formal, and you came in jeans?
I thought you'd hate me...
But you didn't.

Remember the times I'd flirt with
other boys just to make you jealous, and
you were?
I thought you'd drop me...
But you didn't.

There were plenty of things you did to put up with me,
to keep me happy, to love me, and there are
so many things I wanted to tell
you when you returned from
Vietnam...

But you didn't.

We just came back from a wonderful Valentines Day Dinner.

Can someone tell me why Steak Houses feel compelled to give their patrons steak knives that would had difficulty slice warm butter? I invariably use my pocket knife or take filet knife to slice the steak properly. It's must frustrating to us a knife that's more like a cross-cut saw than sharp instrument for slicing cleanly through your meat.

"I take a bottle of wine and I go drink it among the flowers.
We are allways three ... counting my shadow and my friend the shimmering moon
Happily the moon knows nothing of drinking, and my shadow is never thirsty
When I sing, the moon listens to me in silence. When I dance, my shadow dances too.
After all festivities the guests must depart. This sadness I do not know.
When I go home, the moon goes with me and my shadow follows me"

I really like this quote. It's ingenious.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Li_Bai

A cup of wine, under the flowering trees;
I drink alone, for no friend is near.
Raising my cup I beckon the bright moon,
For he, with my shadow, will make three men.

The moon, alas, is no drinker of wine;
Listless, my shadow creeps about at my side.
Yet with the moon as friend and the shadow as slave
I must make merry before the Spring is spent.

To the songs I sing the moon flickers her beams;
In the dance I weave my shadow tangles and break.
While we were sober, three shared the fun;
Now we are drunk, each goes his way.
May we long share our odd, inanimate feast,
And meet at last on the Cloudy River of the sky.

(Note: the "Cloudy River of the sky" refers to the Milky Way)

You can't get there from here, because when you get there you're still here and here is now there.

Why do peppy and generally happy people annoy me? Seriously, you'd think that those types of people would be exactly what I need in my life, but I just wanna punch half of them in the face. Maybe because the other sad/angry people understand me better and that's more important than an upbeat atmosphere. I dunno.

You know why I don't buy cars from the big three? Because of crap like the Jeep I got as my insurance rental while my Honda CR-V is in the shop. The interior looks cheap, the instrumentation looks it came from the 1980s including a speedometer with a font so small I had trouble reading it (though there is some modern stuff like Bluetooth hidden away in there), and it burned through a 50 litre tank of dollar+ a litre gas like it was water. I get my Honda back on Monday. Good riddance.

Attending a wedding reception as "cover" for a friend opens the door to some revelations and discoveries.

I agree there are probably more bankers, and a hella lot more white male politicians, but I doubt ALL of them are...I'd say, men and women in high places are the ones hurting us the most
