Obsession Pain Killer

Posted by TooManyIdeas on October 2, 2010 at 7:30am

Come strip off vague complacency
With skin that shares my blatancy

It's obvious that I don't know you
So why have I so much to show you?

I wish your psychic ability
Was tuned in to my frequency

I'd lead you to a destination
Where I'd break you of your hesitation

I know this feeling can't be real
A strength with which I cannot deal

It's the middle of the night,
Very nearly three
And I can't help wonder,
Did you do this to me

Or did I?

Texts I'll Never Send.

Stay amused.

I'm here in your hand.

I know you know I know.

You know I know you know.

It will happen on Tuesday.

How can you get anything accomplished when you smell that good?

My husband has a gift for you. Really.

With you as my secret, we are both free.

Annie, don't you cry.

Everyone likes me better when I'm happy. Thanks.

I hear your voice. All the time.

I see your smile. Right now.

I hope you want this too.
I sometimes forget how strong my will can be.

Everything is under control. But is it mine or yours right now?

I have more. Always.

Get over here now.

Read me. Tune in and read me!

Today, I'll submit.

I am on your side.

Hold that thought. I need to hear it too.

You found that spot.

Posted by TooManyIdeas on September 30, 2010 at 8:30am

You cast my light into shadow and yet it feels good.
Something in me rises to your height and is knocked back by your words,
Falling fast into throes of laughter, about myself.

You found that place.
That ticklish spot
That everyone fears will be a home to tears.

You have figured out my plan
To see you reflect glorious in me.
You are not responsible for my decisions.

You are free.
To be loved and nurtured by your own unique part of me,
Immersed in the flow of things known and unseen.

Attention takes many forms.
Like the shadow of the rock we were sure was a frog.
We look on it in mystery. Never knowing whether it will hop away, or sit waiting to be unfound.

Like my body.
Awaiting your hands.
Awaiting your language.

I know who you are.
You don't need to hide or fear
Your words, at least, will not hurt me yet.

They carry the scent of truth,
Like those beautiful hands of yours,
Just waiting to weave into my hair for the very first time.

Stop giving humans a bad name.

I really have no patience with anger and hate. Sounds logical and maybe even not too deep. But that's kind of the point. I'm not even talking about the big issues of intolerance and bigotry. I'm talking about people who just let themselves be unkind, selfish, ugly inside. Don't they realize this always shows on the outside--and reflects poorly on the other people of earth?

The word "humans" can be replaced with any sub-group with which you identify, as in "Stop giving suburban moms a bad name!" On second thought, I think I'll just ditch the suburbs and remove that identity from my list of sub-groups...

Finding meaning in the closing shift.

Posted by TooManyIdeas on September 15, 2010 at 4:41pm

I work in retail these days. I manage the cafe within a large bookstore. If I work "closing", I am usually working 2pm to 11pm. It's pretty fuckin' late by the time I get home. And then I'm lit from all the coffee I drank and from various physical activities involved in closing. But there is still something very fun and freeing there.

Despite my shitty pay and having to answer to bosses at two corporations (the book store and the coffee company) there is some merit to the closing shift. As business quiets down at night, and my personality tends to move toward the silly (if not giddy) I find myself able to have conversations with my co-workers (all younger employees) in which I see myself as mentor, not in a work sense, but in a love yourself and enjoy life sense. I just want everyone to feel good about themselves...most are under so much pressure in college, or from parents, or even from odious and out-of-proportion comparisons of themselves to others.

We all need to learn to love people and have fun, it can come in handy when times get tough and we find ourselves doing meaningless tasks, like measuring and logging the wasted remains of two urns of coffee every hour on the hour.

Happy mother's day!

Wishing all the mothers (and mother lovers) a happy mother's day!

Lose Big

Posted by pechevino on February 14, 2009 at 2:29am

I guess I'm far too superstitious not to recognize and thank the universe for not metaphorically zapping me into the ether on the 13th day that is a Friday. Experience tells me it's a good idea to be grateful for a reason to smile on Valentines Day. The nice folks at 429 records liked what I did with the song "Lose Big" so they let me know they aren't threatening to sue or anything because I used their client's song for the personal visual project of the moment. *

Lose Big from Heather Wizell on Vimeo.

A river offers a rafter's test of a boat's endurance, and the site for an unlikely canine love triangle. Photo stills by Heather Wizell. Lose Big is a song by Eef Barzelay of Clem Snide on 429 Records.

But for the record, I always make an effort to let people know and if they don't like what I did, I'm always happy to remove the offended party's music.)I'm still pretty new with this media- so, don't worry, I'm not paying any real bills with this and at the same time preventing you from paying yours. We really are all friends who support creatives here , aren't we?Happy Valentines Day*... so I guess I have THAT going for me...
