Stand back - nothing to see hear...
"I don't think people are meant to be by themselves, that's why, if you actually find someone you care about... it's important to let go of the little things - even if you can't let go all the way. Because nothing sucks more than feeling all alone... no matter how many people are around you"
but you know that going in... You know the pain is coming, you're going to lose a dog, and there's going to be great anguish, so you live fully in the moment with them, never fail to share their joy or delight in their innocence, because you can't support the illusion that a dog can be your lifetime companion... There's such beauty in the hard honesty of that, in accepting and giving love while always aware it comes with an unbearable price... Maybe loving dogs is a way we do penance for all the other illusions we allow ourselves and for the mistakes we make because of those illusions...
It's a strange feeling being told in no uncertain terms that the 'lifespan' you had expected, would not be as long as you thought, and it is almost like the Doctor stood up and punched you straight in the stomach...
Well, finally got my house back to myself. My guitarist / tattoist/ good friend Adam and his fiance Danni stayed over for the last 4 days. Adam is trying to get work in a tattoo shop back here so that he can bring his family back to this town - which, being the selfish whit I am, is really good for me... free tattoos because I am building him a website, and my lead guitarist back again for regular practices...
Been to see my GP today and heard 2 words in 1 sentence that really aren't easy to hear...
Car was damaged again at half past four this morning... my medication had wore off and I woke up in agony when I heard a loud bang from outside. I put my light on to take a look and two young chavs were walking just past my next door neighbours car... I got some clothes on and got downstairs as.soon as I could, which is not easy because of my disabilities... went out and looked at my car and the wing mirror had been kicked off, the same with my neighbours car... the chavs had gone due to the time it took me to get there... so now I have to fork out about £120 for a new mirror because it is an electric one that folds back... not a happy bunny...
Well, I've got my first official date in over 2 years for next week... and just for a change, she is my age and not half of it.
