...and sometimes it doesn't even matter

So I wrote my last post in an attempt to peel something from my conscience that had been nagging and chewing at me for awhile, and I thought confronting the person would be the key to some small measure of peace for me.
Well. Sort of, sort of not. The steps I took I do not regret though, under the circumstances. Sometimes you have to make a decision based on what information is arrayed before you, and move on that, even if it is incomplete.

I received news the very next day (Aug 1) regarding something that made this issue I was struggling with (And yes I am grossly negligent with details, protecting the situation and all persons involved. This may really only end up making sense to me but sometimes thats as it must be)


Synapses - I am stressing over an issue with a person for awhile and confront them. As it turns out, things sort of go well. I get in trouble (What else is new with me?) from a boss because of it due to miscommunication.. so I need to make a second and proper attempt at making ammends/letting things slide.
The very next day (After all the horseshit drama has been marginally dealt with), I receive some information that basically makes the entire situation moot. All I can wonder is... was this meant to be? Almost seems that this situation was pre-determined, orchestrated even.

Either way, at the end of the day, it doesn't even matter. And sometimes thats as it should be, be it Karma, God, luck, pre-destination.... I think some tests are meant to be put in our paths. I'm fairly confident I passed this one.

...I also hope they give points for spelling your name right on these tests.

Spin the globe and see where you land

      Funny the difference a season can make.  My last post at the end of Spring had me gearing up for an epic European backpacking trip.  Rome, Naples, Procida Island, Bolzano, and various other stops in Italy before swinging up to Poland to visit with a friend there after staying with a gracious and patient friend in Italy.  Wroclaw was special to see for the historical side of things but more importantly to me, it was the birthplace of my dear friend Margaret.  Slawek, her brother, and I would travel the streets of their youth that they had told me all about over the course of decades... it brought Maggie back a little bit, for a short while.  A special end to a pretty special trip.  Definitely had some bittersweet moments as well but the glory of the Roman ruins, the awe inspiring mountains of the Dolomites, to the excitement of hiking up a winding hillside through dense brush and tree cover to behold the ruins of old castles, meticu...

Blogwork is Homework is Good Work

 Hello, Gentle Reader,    This blog has always been my way of sharpening my writing chops, or shaking off the rust of my laziness and trying to find my 'voice', as it were, online.  I know, Gentle Reader, that you often do not give feedback, and thats ok.  This space isn't meant as an ego-reach and any and all feedback regarding my posts is appreciated, often more than you might guess, but thats not why I write here.     Most of my drive and reasoning is the simple act of it.  Writing is healthy for the soul and great practice more than anything else, the more practice you put in, the better at it you get... or at least that's what I keep incessantly telling myself, forever hopeful that I am in fact getting 'better' as a writer, whatever that actually means.  I suppose my ability to project my voice comes down to you, Gentle Reader.  I hope you hear me and I am able to project the visuals and a sense of where I am, figuratively as w...

Fuck this place, I’m out…

I grew up poor.  Really poor. To steal a line from Chris Rock, we grew up so poor we couldn’t afford the O R at the end of the word, we were just PO. hahaha. Still accurate. But my childhood poverty isn’t the point of this post. I mention it because growing up I had to watch all my friends going on family vacations to Disneyland and the Phillipines and Mexico and wherever their families were in the world while I roamed my asphalt jungle like a half wild animal in a cage.   I always vowed that I would see the world someday. It was a fervent childhood promise full of idealism and hope, as only a child can conjure.   In my heartbreak of being left behind and alone to fend for myself all summer, I knew, in my bones…I just KNEW… I’d go out there and see the world some day. Even as those bitter tears streamed down my little cheeks, the fire to see the world, the one I only ever read about in books, burned deep in my soul.  … … … Fast forward a few decades.  I’ve ...
