Questioning Life

Did you ever notice that when you like someone, it can hurt?

It's frustrating when they know and act so cool about it.

They don't make any moves, don't encourage or discourage you.

They stay nonchalant about things.

Nothing phases them.

They may feel the same way, but it's too hard to tell.

Why aren't people more clear?

What don't we just come out and say how we feel?

Why do we keep our emotions bottled-up so tight?

A future explosion becomes inevitable.

Why do people lose interest when the feelings are reciprocated?

Why are we so backward?

Why do we read into blank pages?

How did we fall apart as a society?

Why can't we work together on the rebuild?

Why can't we be more like the child who doesn't see a black child with white

parents, but a family?

Why do we condemn, hate, stereo-type, slander, and lie?

Why do we beat, maim, and kill those that have not wronged us?

Why do we preach of equality and then segregate others?

Why do we tell children to be themselves and then give in to the pressure of our

peers?

Why do we tell children to be confident, and then tell them they can't do something

because of what others may think about them?

Why do we become leaders or followers instead of team members?

Why do we use religion instead of common decency?

Why do we feel a need to compare ourselves to others?

Why do we judge an entire group based on 2 or 3 members?

Why do we create words to live by and then disregard them?

Why do we hurt and hate instead of love and support?

Why do we accredit value to paper and numbers over people?

Why do we let something else determine who we are friends with?

Why do social groups matter where love is concerned?

I thought opposites are supposed to attract?

Why do we treat criminals like kings and average people like garbage?

The Gauntlet That Was October

I had a lot of things happen in October. I watched Frankenstein in the cemetery with friends. I had tea with a friend. I started a new sport: curling. This is really fun and I'm enjoying the level of activity it provides and all the strategic elements. I'll do a separate post on it soon. Unfortunately, soon after my first game, I came down with Covid and so did the friend who I had tea with, so I think we both caught it at the place we went to. That wasn't fun. I already posted about that. I was fortunate to be free of it in time to attend Can-Con where I took in lots of panels, saw some of the wonderful writer community, bought many new books, and volunteered to help out in the rooms. The following weekend, I went to the livestream for Danielle Allard's new album release, followed by the in person release. As part of this, she has a 6 video series that releases every Sunday on her YouTube at 1:15 PM EDT. Video number 2, Falling Into Place, is one that I feel fortunate

2023 - Week 40

I felt a touch rough on Monday. After exchanging some shoes, I needed electrolytes. The heat with the egg thing made me a bit nauseus. I had lots of fluids before having noodles for dinner. That made me feel better. When Tuesday came about, I was looking forward to what I might be learning at GSL curling in the evening. I was also excited to being on the ice as a break from the unseasonal heat. It's spooky season! It's supposed to be a cool and cuddly time. We should be wearing hoodies (or bunny hugs if you prefer). Instead, I was sweating in jeans as I simply walked from my condo building to my car. Wednesday's plan was streaming, but I also hoped to fit an exchange at Home Depot in as I got the wrong shelf size for a project. Really, my original plan for something didn't work, so I was choosing to go a different way. I did stream, but I didn't get to Home Depot. Thursday featured work followed by packing for my spooky weekend away with friends. I got my oil and my

The PWHL

I've gotten my season tickets for the inaugural season of the Professional Women's Hockey League. I had put my deposit down as soon as it was open. Am I a hockey superfan? No. I enjoy hockey. I started watching it quite a lot during my divorce. I also used to practice my slapshot against the foundation of our house when I was an angst-filled teen. I care about women in sport having amazing opportunities like this. Anyway, some people in the comments section on the posts are truly something. The league posted the schedule, which was more of a calendar without time blocks listed. They happened to post that on the day that priority purchasing was opened for the season tickets.  So then there are a bunch of people who didn't put deposits down that were complaining they can't buy tickets yet. Makes total sense 😒 And then there were a bunch of other people complaining that nothing has been announced on the streaming and televisation of the games. Some were even suggesting th
