Round here

Just some stuff I’ve seen while I’ve been out and about.

Woke up to a beautiful morning so I was inspired to step out on the upstairs deck to snap a photo. Oops, some ugly bastard is blocking the view.
There, that’s better!
This blossomed right out in my front yard…
I was so inspired I took the dogs for a walk on Baloy beach and then we had breakfast at Treasure Island. Lucky is saying “More Bacon! More Bacon!”
I guess she won’t be giving any more head. *ahem*
When I saw this door beckoning to me I wasn’t sure if it was a Lewis Carroll or a C.S. Lewis adventure that awaited me. I decided to play it safe and just walk on by.
The infrastructure in the Philippines is poles apart from what you find in the West…
…thank goodness this country is so wired. Otherwise, the telephone pole would fall down.
It rained for an hour yesterday afternoon. The hour I happened to be out walking. Got soaked and couldn’t find the pot-of-gold either. Oh well. I got my steps in.
That’s pretty much me when I think about commas…

And that’s the way I see things around here.


Step out the front door like a ghost
into the fog where no one notices
the contrast of white on white.
And in between the moon and you
the angels get a better view
of the crumbling difference between wrong and right.
I walk in the air between the rain
through myself and back again
Where? I don’t know
Maria says she’s dying
through the door I hear her crying
Why? I don’t know

Round here we always stand up straight
Round here something radiates

  1. Your neck of the woods really is gorgeous when the weather is nice. And when the weather isn’t nice, at least you’ve got dawgz. Are they fetching frisbees yet?

    As for commas… I can tell you’re not even trying. You reverted back to your old ways a while ago. Heh. I’ll continue my comma series once I’m back in Seoul, but to what end?
