The Stray Tampon Saga

Today I went to Rave with Jer and Mer and saw "Princess and the Frog". It was

GLORIOUS!

I looked up show times for Thursday instead of Friday so we arrived for a 415 show that did not exist, but there was a 525 one.

So Jer, Mer, and I sat on the bench inside the theatre and people watched. Amidst the chaos (there were SO MANY people there - wow), a lady accidentally dropped a tampon on the floor. I did not witness which lady or the actual dropping... but for ten to fifteen minutes I was delighted as I watched people kick it and look down to see what was on the floor, and look down and experience reactions ranging from mortified to tickled to embarrassed.

Oh that stray tampon, how it made me smile.

People are so funny to watch sometimes especially when they are experiencing something that should not be happening in the current environment.

So this musing is dedicated to that tampon and how it made me smile on this, the New Year.

Love,
Dustin

Happy New Year, Dust! I know it's been a long time since we've seen/spoken to each other, but I drop in on your blog from time to time. Love it. I have my own now and find it therapeutic. I hope you're well and that you continue to write wonderful-ness for all the world to read.
Take care!!

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

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

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
