Home
July 19th, 2010Despite my best efforts, a family tragedy has forced me to cross the threshold and set foot back in my old home. The circumstances of my departure were grim; I resolved to myself that I would not go back. But I guess some things are beyond petty resolutions.
My paternal grandmother passed away this weekend. The funeral was yesterday, and at its conclusion my father and I took some of the flowers to my aunt’s. This is the same aunt who bought our house five years ago. It was a dark time.
But now I see just what they’ve changed; I see just how different it is. It’s no longer home.
I have 27 years of memories there; that’s all I have anymore anyway. I can’t say that I’ll never return, but I’m not going to just ‘drop in’ to say hi. As they say, you can never go home again. I don’t want to. It’s not a place anymore, but a time. Coordinates within existence that I dream of traversing.
All I need is a blue box.
Believe It Or Not
July 11th, 2010There’s still nothing really worth writing about.
Just letting you know.
Sorry.
Darkest
June 28th, 2010They say it’s always darkest before the dawn. This, then, is the longest night ever …
After
June 16th, 2010I realized today that, for the last couple of days at least, I’ve been getting paid for using After Effects.
I’m actually kinda happy about that.
