'Bad Egg' (Original Poem 2/26)

Bad Egg - K.G.

I thought I found my Humpty Dumpty.

I put his heart back together again. 

But he was broken beyond repair. 

Jagged and sharp;

Cutting me like shrapnel.

Beneath the fractured shell 

There was no smooth coating.

Boiling on the surface;

Ready to explode. 

But I was the lone casualty. 

A casualty of love unrequited.

~K.G.

Roses, Violets, & Stuff

"Roses are red, 
Violets are blue, 
Sugar is sweet, 
But flowers wither and die, 
And chocolate would shoot up your blood sugar, 
So I didn't bother getting you either for Valentine's Day."

Love, 

The Lamest Boyfriend Ever

Raisins vs. Peas

Something caught my eye. I'm just saying...

Underwater Dance Photography

As a Modern dancer, one of my dreams is to take part in a photoshoot of underwater dance and choreography. Who knows? Maybe 2011 will be my year of underwater dancing glory!       

During my search for galleries and photographers, I stumbled upon Toronto, ON Canada-based photographer, graphic artisit, and painter & writer, Greg Schilhab. His work is amazing! I couldn't stop going through his galleries. All of his work is wonderful but his underwater work is simply, a dream. I want to be a part of something like that. 

That's me! Photo: Micheal Hobbs

That is one of my dreams.  

 

So goes the hunt for a photographer a bit closer to the U.S. east coast, or maybe I might expand my horizons and go northward. What a delicious adventure! 

Schilhab's work is, understandably, copyrighted, so below I have a link to his site. Have fun perusing the work of this awesome artist (but no sticky fingers). Enjoy.

Cafe Carolina - 'The Price is Wrong, Bob!'

One of my favorite lunch spots is Cafe Carolina. It has the best sandwiches, soups, salads, cupcakes, etc! My usual meal is either the half sandwich / salad combo with chips and a drink, or the Mac and Cheese combo. The Mac and Cheese combo comes with a container of Mac and Cheese; choice of a bag of chips or pretzels, a nice, yummy cookie; and a drink. The combo came out to be $4.88, exactly. I always walked in with the amount ready.

(Some of my friends like to call me "exact change girl", which I take as a compliment. At least I'm prepared.)

Upon my recent visit yesterday, I walked in and delivered my order with no hesitation: "I'll take the Mac and Cheese combo with chips, an M&M cookie, and a bottle of water. Please and thank you." I was met with a "change of menu" response stating that I had to choose between the chips or cookie. The icing on the figurative cake lies in the fact that the meal (now only Mac and cheese, cookie, and a drink) still came to be $4.88.

WTF?!

Why don't you just give me my own noodles to boil along with a block of cheese and a grater?! Anyway, I opted for the cookie, and left a nice grumble at the register. Unfortunately, it looks as if I won't be dining at CC much anymore. I'd rather not have a rip off for lunch. No thanks.
