spark and sergio, a love story - part 2

Spark and Sergio are screaming.  Morrissey’s words.  “Sister I’m a Poet” crackling through the car’s broken speakers.

“And is evil just something you are?  Or something you do?”

A puff of black exhaust exploding into the October sunset.  Sergio’s boot pressed against the floor.  Clove cigarettes lit.  Through the smokey air, the twinkling towers of downtown Denver inching closer.

“Did you bring it?”

“And nothing else.”

She smiles.

Pulling her black trench coat open.

spreading the news around the world

I must say I’m rather impressed.  With TGOC.  No big surprise there.  This time though, it’s something special.  A couple of weeks ago I installed analytics on the site.  What an eye opener.  I knew I was reaching thousands of people every month, which is a good start.  I’ve always had avid supporters stateside, with a lot of TGOC love on the west coast, Colorado and NYC.  The Gospel’s getting bigger every day.

What I didn’t know was just how global I’d gone. Read more

express check-out @ the heartbreak hotel

People suck.  At what?  Relationships.  People suck 13 times worse at something else.  Break ups.  Whether you’re on the giving or receiving end of the final farewell, it takes its emotional toll.  Big time.  How long you choose to suffer though, is entirely up to you.  I’ve known people whose lives were still poisoned by a sinister separation years after the fact.  Lucky for you?  I’m here to help.  Soothe the pain.  Right the wrong.  Cauterize the wound.  In typical Cash form; a trio.  My most tremendous trio yet.  The three R’s.

If you’re smart enough?  Big enough? Sane enough to listen up?  You’ll save yourself a lot of pain.

THE THREE R’S OF A HEALTHY BREAK-UP

1)  REVERIE

The first thing you need to do?  Reflect on all the good things that ever happened in the relationship.  You heard me.  I’m not talking highlights here.

I’m talking every.  Single.  Blessing.

fight club fail

Of all the brilliant quotes in Chuck Palahniuk’s seminal “Fight Club” I’m proud to apply to my own life?  There’s one I honestly wish I couldn’t:

Tyler Durden: Where’d you go, psycho boy?

Narrator: I felt like destroying something beautiful.

Live and learn my friends.

Live and learn.

weekend @ west lake

I think I’m finally waking up.  Waking up to the notion that the “great outdoors” can actually be, uh, pretty great.  Considering I’ve been wary of sunlight in general and the wilderness specifically for years, it’s a pretty big epiphany. I’ve got my oldest friend in the world, Adam (see here), to thank for helping me see the light.

This past weekend was spent in the pristine woodlands near West Lake, Colorado.  In addition to soaking up some fresh air, clearing my mind and mood and copious amounts of PBR and tequila, we also enjoyed some gourmet fixins around a glorious campfire.  Discovered the joys of hatchet throwing.  Extreme frisbee in the forest.  And, fished.  My first time ever.  Amazingly, under the excellent tutelage of master bass hole Adam, I actually caught one to boot.

lifetime achievement award

The grand prize of a satisfied existence?  The gold medal?  The standard by which all other accomplishments are judged?  Is an award.  An award you can only give yourself.
