Strange Feeling

I have such great relationships with Jake, Maggie, and Abe. It makes me sad that I most likely won't be close to Isaac.

I can't get dragged into that whole mess, though.

The best I can do is (when he gets older) let him know that I'll be there for him if he ever needs anything.

It still feels so strange to have a half-brother (who is twenty-three years [to the day] younger than I am).

But, it's hard to ignore now that I've met* and fallen completely in love with him.


*I met him October 17. I hadn't planned on meeting him for a long time, but I bumped into him (and his mom and his other half-sisters) unexpectedly in the park. I wasn't emotionally prepared, but when I held him and he laughed and feel asleep in my arms.

"Perhaps there is some truth to the notion that stars collide or are out of balance in the universe and thus, in disarray, exert an influence upon individuals here on earth."

Tonight feels like it should be cool outside, but it definitely is not. I'm ready for a weekend of Lounging, Jurassic Park-ing, Autism Walking, and who knows what else!

Help, I'm alive, my heart keeps beating like a hammer
Hard to be soft, tough to be tender
Come take my pulse, the pace is on a runaway train

A Bar in Amsterdam

I'm pretty obsessed with this song by Katzenjammer:

Work was not so great today, but it was nothing that red wine and an excellent thunderstorm couldn't fix.

This is the best thing I've seen all day:
