Sorting through memorabilia
Of the clutter over the years
I was surprised
By the frequent fond smiles
Appearing on my face
Looking through all the letters
The cards
The writings
I was surprised at the footsteps
And sound bites of all
Who has passed my life
Cruising through my stuff
Of you
And you
And you
So many yous
So many ties
So many
Through the years
People you once knew
People you thought you knew
And people you forget you did
All the you-s
All the us-s
All the me-s
I was surprised
At how many
Left
But more so
By how many remained
Changed yet the same
Others will say
How blessed I am.
I normally say
how cursed
But today
Just for once
At this very moment
I agree
with the others
I am.

Me
I am a student of life, growing older by the minutes. I would like to say that I graduated from the school of hard knocks but unfortunately, it is not true. I come from a happy family with supportive parents, so if you are looking for a manically depressed pessimistic cynic, get out of this space.
I may at times be more sardonic and sarcastic than I should, but I am an essentially happy person (it's hard to be always melodramatically depressed really). If that's a contradiction in terms, who cares. It's my prerogative to be contradictory if I want to. I confess that I enjoy reading, writing, intelligence, sharp wits and sarcasm. Very blue-stocking habits that would be terrible in Victorian times, but lucky me, this is modern days, or so it is called. My goals in life include being a cold-hearted bitch, a successful career woman aka swindler, a professional liar, and maybe someone you could bring home to meet mom, but only on my *rare days of sentimentality.

You
If you are reading this right now, then you are either a weird stalker whom I need to report immediately or just extremely bored. In any case, you are not likely to find this site (a) extremely enlightening, (b) extremely useful or (c) extremely exciting. I suggest that you take up a useful hobby like listening to music from an obscure place or studying UFOs. It will look good on your CV to be able to say I like music from so and so place, so obscure that no one has heard of it or I firmly believe in the existence of UFOs. Better entertainment and probably less offensive to society. Trust me on this.
