You Got A Friend in Me

Here are a couple of things that maybe you should know. One, thing aren’t bad. Yes, a lot of the content of this blog is heavy. But I didn’t create this blog to flaunt my successes in your face. My hope is that all of my downfalls can be translated into common place. And that anyone who stumbles across this place, can relate and realize they are not alone.

Hold on, I have to go look in the cabinet for the second part of "a couple things"…..

Trees Falling in the Forest

I need to talk about something. But the cabinet is tired of listening and the spoons don’t absorb anything.

Alone in the Attic

My cat and I are listening to the bustle of work going on down stairs. The pitter patter of small children destroying the china, the laughter ringing in the aftermath of poisonous jokes, and the smells of stress and anxiety that glazed the honey ham for several hours. A beautiful day that shows hope of the warm sun returning and fresh air in abundance, but behind these glass windows we are huddled together around a crowded table clinking our spoons against soggy paper plates. In two hours the company will leave and we won’t speak again until thanksgiving. I give up on these formalities. They are a waste of a beautiful afternoon.

Intermission Aisle

Listen. Please listen. The metaphorical content is rich, so as to influence the influential. If you will only step right up, and take a seat for the show, you will find that the currency exchange was invaluable. And this is only, of coarse, if you find that time holds exchangeable value. It is in fact, the first thing we regret when it is gone. Yes, moments are very valuable indeed. And your moments are not wasted here, but rather used to subconsciously drive up turmoil and help you dispose of it. Spoons full of turmoil, it might take a lot of soap and some elbow grease, but we can get then shining again.

Minor Maintenance

Consider yourself lucky. At this venerable age your ripe, raw, ravishing. The bonds of society are but rope compared to others shackles. Opportunity is bountiful. Please, tell yourself to get up and be a part of it. Stop making empty promises full of disbelief. These self inflicted doubts are nothing but a squeaky cabinet door. It’s annoying. Please fix it.

Good morning! Your reality check has arrived. It’s made out for the amount of: rapid change, inconsolable heart break, and unfruitful dreams. No need to worry about cashing it,  I signed you up for direct deposit. If the parking lot you have been sitting in for hours is half empty, does that make you a pessimist? If that friend you drove hours to see doesn’t show, how long do you wait? If you made a choice you regret, and you can’t take it back, how long will it haunt you?

And if all of these questions are about time, does asking them waste valuable moments that should be spent answering them?

Just one more question. What happens now? Cry a lot, be angry, and if you never get over it, learn to live with it.

To many questions and not enough answers. Maybe I can find something in the cabinet to solve my problems, but then again, it is empty.

Cabinet and Spoons

As I battle with the my self-righteous opinion of the how social media forums are destroying intelligent conversation and contributing to the loss of our much needed personal lives, I concede to admit these public arenas are the epitome of the first amendment. With the outlook of our constitutional rights rapidly taking on a grim appearance, might as well join them instead of trying to beat them. It’s only a matter or time before the option is gone.

Devoid of any substantial achievements, colleagues, or future endeavors, and in search of emotional release, you have now stumbled on a desperate attempt of self-satisfaction.

So far you have digested the who (another voice on the internet) when (presently), where (somewhere between disappointment and despair) and why (because I can) but the meat and potatoes are missing from the main course. What? What you are reading here is an emotionally truthful insight into another persons life. Watching through the window. But you, dear visitor, you don’t have to draw the blinds and turn the lights off. Go ahead, indulge in my life, its surroundings and all of its inhabitants as a means of self-satisfaction and fantastical escape from the underwhelming reality.

Todays lesson? Why wash the laundry when you have no reason to dress up and get it dirty again. The detergent would only be expelling the faint smell of memories and experience and those two things in unison make for great stories. lets be cliche shall we? I will right what I know.

And finally, the name. I adore a clever analogy and thoughtful insight more than the average human, but unfortunately I am faced with only a bare cabinet and a drawer full of spoons. Nothing to read into or draw conclusions from, simply just a cabinet and spoons. Rest assured, if any items fill the cabinet or if the spoons ever become a complete set of silver, this is where you will hear it first.
