In the Blahs


It truly is a fight to be a better student. I missed class today. I am doing much better than I was and I have to give myself some time to adjust and get used to the schedule.

Both of my roomies have been sick and I have been fighting it.

Today, four things made the world a habitable place for me:

1. My bed: ever so comfy and inviting.
2. "Pushing Daisies": It is a travesty this show was canceled. It is delicious! Odd, charming, like a glorious adult pop-up book.
3. Hostess Honey Buns: I rarely have a sweet tooth, but when I do it comes on rather strongly demanding to be satiated.
4. Star of India: I love that place, that food, and the owner Sammy who calls me Dr. Dustin and declares "Welcome home my brother" every time I enter the door.

I am in a bit of a blah spot right now. It is understandable as I just wrapped a show and am sorting through many new prospects.

Sometimes it is okay to live in the blahs, not hoping to get out of them too quickly for sometimes you can find something special in the blahs, something you did not know you had, needed, or would ever discover.

Much love,
Dustin

PSfP: I could not find a picture of a Hostess Iced Honey Bun. What is the world coming to? Ha.

The Leprechaun Loving Lush

Tonight I got snockered with some bombastic leprechauns, dabbled in the cuisine of Acadia, conversed with some drunk oddities, called and text people in quite a state of lowered inhibitions/let's talk about life and giggle, and discussed trivial matters (Is "Sweeney Todd" actually a good film, why do I like "Twilight", etc.) as if life depended on how I articulated my stance in these matters. What an odd, fun, new, out-of-the-comfort zone night for me. Gloriously uncomfortable and disgusting decadent. YAY. Every day I seem to be doing something I have never done before: from the tiny to the grand. It is an experiment and I am loving and loathing it, and all the intoxicating in-betweens. (Yes, not-so-clever pun intended.) I hope that everyone had a wonderful St. Patty's day! (oh my, that is like Sandi Patty, but not at all...) Love, The DABalicious Leprechaun Loving Lush

And With This, Farewell

This blog has been a dear friend to me. I am not good at farewells, but truly this is anything but. I look at it like this - I love the phoenix, the symbolism of it all, the power of rebirth. Hence why I named my blog/musing screen after one. :-) So, I am leaving this particular blog to start another one, one that fits me NOW, the one that I can share in a new way. So this feels right. Thanks to those who have read my musings throughout the years. I hope you follow me to my new musing home entitled THE TWELVE THAT IS DUSTIN BAYLAN. Yes, I am changing the name, the story of that is on the new blog for you to read. Here is the link: http://dustinbaylan.wordpress.com/ Much love, much hope and joy again, much potential... Winks and smiles of the Cat that is Cheshire, Dustin Baylan

Much Needed Silence

The past few days I have liked the darkness, the silence of my room. I have not come out much and have watched "Sleepless in Seattle" over and over and over and over. I started wondering why I want to be alone (I am not depressed at all) and started doing the roommate math. I have lived with 41 different people in my life. I have lived in 21 different living environments not including all the different times I moved around with my family as a kid. I have hit a wall where I just want ME time and a lot of it, no talking, no sharing, just alone time. In this much needed silence I find that I am a much simpler person than I once was, that I really love the quiet, and that it is time to live alone soon. I have done the roomie thing more than anyone I know and met some wonderful people, but I am overloaded with that experience. So, back to "Sleepless in Seattle" and my much needed silence. Dustin
