Whoa—what happened to all the daylight?

lemon automatic
dishwasher detergent

automatic transmission
stop and go

automatic receptionist
press 1 for cold machine
2 for human interaction
but not before more cold machine

automatic camera
point and shoot
click and capture
no more memories

automatic life
processed humanity
shrink wrapped for your protection

automatic love
wash rinse repeat
until death

A friend of mine from film school just put a new video of his on YouTube. He’s a writer for Mental Floss, among other things. Just in time for Halloween, too. Great job, Randy!

for every joy
there is a sorrow

for every pleasure
there is a pain

for every tear shed
there must be some joy

for every ending

I sit
and smile
and think of her

and wonder if she thinks of me

and she does

I’m quiet in happiness.
I keep my joy to myself,
shared only with those near and dear to me.
Frequently the only postings you’ll find here are when I’m having a down or cold moment in my life.
Or an inspiration.
So if you don’t hear from me in a while
then everything’s fine.
Unless I was hit by a bus.

You better watch out, y’all. I’m hunting vampires today. My own, others’, it doesn’t matter. I am on a quest.

sometimes
when you feel too much
you don’t want to feel
at all

sometimes
when your heart runs deep
you can understand
too much

sometimes
when you sing a song
you can help your heart
to heal

sometimes
when you say not now
you will say goodbye
for good

sometimes
when a hope seems far
you must meet it
part way there

sometimes
