"what, life?"
"no, failure"

...of chris botti tonight...

you know those notes...that hang precariously out in space...designed to shatter an already broken and overly abused heart into perfect, poison-tipped shards?

the notes that go on until you're sure that all you must be hearing is the reverberation from the open air?

the notes pulled (never pushed) from the bell of a trumpet that shouldn't exist in the natural world, and certainly not on any musical scale i'm familiar with?

music should tug at you from across a room
it should hurt to listen to for too long
it should leave you breathless for more
not enough music today does...and there were a few small moments, tonight, that it did...

i needed the reminder

so for those of you with whom this is my sole form of communique...this may come as a bit of a shock.

and for those of you who have known me for ANY length of time WHATSOEVER this will only provide additional ammunition for fertility jokes...

walking to work today i passed a toppled pile of empty plastic milk crates outside the local grocery.

never had my fingers itched so badly to nick one.

the deep sea blue crate with the small steady 'morning glory' script, or the bright orange 'Dean's' accross the bottom.

wondered the whole way past the side of the buildling if i could unobtrusively snag one and get it back to the office.

milk crates are terribly useful things you know...

i made mystery tracks in the snow thismorning. tromping around the thin veneer of snow over packed layers of leaves. crunch crunch crunch.

it now looks like a small platoon of troops in women's shoes set up camp within the three feet of my front lawn. crunch crunch crunch
