Random Thoughts/Pictures
The world has light and dark, and I won’t ever be lonely.
I have a set of close friends never far away.
The fire burns in all of us, and even my enemies have heat.
I remember the numbers I’ve gained and lost.
The heat source is ready and waiting for me.
The sky is open to me, always.
Creativity is open to me, as well.
The world is plentiful, and I won’t ever be bored.

Poem: In the Meantime
In the Meantime
You
Are up there,
And
I am down here.
You
Were always with me,
Listening,
And hearing my voice quiver.
My high pitched words,
Sounding like unsettled screams,
As you stroked my fears away.
Every day you are gone,
I am unsettled,
Not still,
Not sure,
Wondering,
And waiting.
Sometimes it is
Unbearable for me,
And I think
When this feeling ends,
Will I be stronger?
You
Have moved away,
For such a long time,
Way over there,
And
I miss you,
Now.
Denis Leary: And Your Point Is What???
Dr. Denis Leary
Yes, this guy. You know the guy. Or, maybe someone like him. Denis Leary is passionate about the FDNY and COMEDY. This I know for sure. While the book I’m recommending didn’t win any awards for prose, you read this book for its humor. It didn’t come without criticism as it received backlash for his autism commentary. Not everyone likes a blunt person. He speaks from his jaded heart. He doesn’t apologize for it. He goes along his merry way or should I say his sarcastic way. Why We Suck has a successor called Why We Don’t Suck that focuses much on the political climate of today. The bottom line is he writes and you can’t fault a person for being truthful to his own life.
His show, Rescue Me, had accolades, but it too was not without criticism. It aired on FX from 2004 to 2011. Even though the show has ended, it’s one that continues to be relevant. It touches upon just about everything. It’s realistic in many respects. The show’s center is on Tommy Gavin, played by Denis Leary, and how he juggles his often crumbling personal with his professional life. The writing allows you to get invested in the characters, and each episode leaves you wanting more. It pushes beyond comfortable boundaries so if you can get past the swearing (easy for me to do) and the writing (controversial dialogue and experiences), this show is for you.
