Crocs & Monkeys in When West Coasts Collide

Africa...I'm actually IN Africa... in When West Coasts Collide
…and I have been since November 12th. Over a month abroad. I’m finally writing. I’ve never been to New York City before, nor further North in North America than British Columbia, further South th...
…as a child, and since, I’ve always disliked fish. But, as a child I took a liking to smoked and jerkeyed Salmon. I’ve had smoked salmon since, but today, the smoked salmon I broke into, from my ...
Thoughts...realizations... in She tripped, and I was lost at sea.
The Ex and I got into a pretty bad argument via text today. Bad for us. We shouldn’t be having these, but I understand where they come from. She told me she hates Her because She ruined our relat...
Drag Race Queens; Life; Sleep; Work... in Life
I’ve been wearing myself very, very thin. I’m trying incredibly hard to get things into the business inventory on-line so that when I open I have at least 1/million parts listed. That’s a goal. A...
Who am I fooling? in She tripped, and I was lost at sea.
I do miss her…but…she doesn’t miss me. She felt like I was controlling, mean, horrible. I never cheated on her, I didn’t lie to her, I took care of her. She cheated on me, she lied to me, she did...
Sadness in She tripped, and I was lost at sea.
I miss her. Yes, I’m free of the things she refused to change with me, to better herself, and to be stronger within Us, but I’ve also lost all the things I loved about her so very, very much. Thi...
Sadness, clutter and pizza. in Life
I’m sad today - but I had a brilliant time last night! I went out on the town last night and had a great time. Friends, Sushi, goodness. Talked a LOT, which was also nice. Hammered out a few thin...
Hot Child In the City in Life
…I’m not running wild, nor looking pretty, though. So, today in Portland it was supposed to be a ghastly 102. At last glance at my weather app, that has moved down to 97 for the high - and tomorr...
Another borrowed survey... in Life
(and I will remove the HTML…LOL) 1) Sometimes when you’re laying down, do you feel like you’re floating? That used to happen to me as a kid. 2) Do you feel there is an overuse of antibiotics? Abs...
OD Survey (why not?) in Life
(An old Open Diary survey, I borrowed from a fellow Proseboxer, thank you!) FOODOLOGY What is your salad dressing of choice? Ranch, generally - sometimes Blue Cheese, and I quite adore Caesar. W...
Coastal Stories in Life
I’ve had a great day today, and it’s not over yet. It started with yesterday, when My Soon To Be Ex Wife and I drove out here to spread the ashes of my Grandparents and Parents (see previous entr...
Goodbye, My Family. in Life
Today, we laid to rest, out in the Pacific Ocean, my Family: My Grandfather who passed away in 1999, My Grandmother who passed away in 2008 (both my Fathers parents, of whom I was very close to),...
…Tonight, over drinks at a bar, I admitted to her, “This wouldn’t hurt so much if I wasn’t still in love with you.” She looked at me, with that goofy, “why the hell are you pulling this out of me...
