Fork in the Road



I do not know if others feel this way, but let me say that I am gay. Actually, that is not what I was going to write, but I wanted to finish the rhyme scheme, for that is how I "roll". :-)

My Mom has always told me that things happen over night for me. I will not be able to do something (i.e. singing) and then can, or will not like a food (i.e. cucumbers) and then will in an instant. I think the same can be said for understanding a life concept or feeling as though I have a long-term plan of sorts.

The past few days I have been changing and, although it has not been instantaneous like in the past, in a way it has (oh my negating oneself mid-sentence is indeed a gift) for I have been sifting through the layers of much more complicated possibilities and futures.

Where is home?
What do I want my home to be?
What do I define as home?
What career path do I want?
How do I give to the world but also possess stability?
Is theatre my calling?
Are there other ones just as powerful and meaningful out there waiting?

Some thought provoking and scary thoughts, but ones that have proven worthwhile and quite interesting.

I feel as though the journey has forked off to another path and I am deciding before taking the next trek. And, the exciting (and scary) thing is: it might not be the path for which I have prepared or even the one that I thought I would traverse.

Life is nebulous, bendy, and unpredictable at the most compelling times,
Dustin

I Love the Clarks

I LOVE THE CLARKS!!!!!!!!!!!! (I used twelve exclamation marks/points to show the significance of the love and because twelve is my cosmic number.) It is that simple. Jay and Karen (and the illustrious Quin) allowed me to move into their lovely home under the proviso I would be out in a few days. Well that was October 18th and, look at your calendar folks, I am still here. I think that finally the light has bounced off of a nimbus cloud that I have not seen before and I might have a dwelling. But... I LOVE these two people. They just get me and leave me to my own devices. In this time where I have sequestered myself off into my own little respite lair, they have let me "do my own thing". And they are such lovely, talented, decent people. It has been my honour to get to know them more and their ultimate collaboration, THE Quin. He is the COOLEST child ever. I adore the boy. Tonight Jay, Karen, and I played a card game called Nerts. I am addicted and I saw new shades ...

Scampering Back From the Hiatus

I awoke with these names in my head... surely they are characters from a forthcoming story tentatively entitled, "The Merman's Song": Briinan Jossuraje Arthero Zyne What a perplexing and delicious way to greet the morning, I love it when that happens. Jer is heading over to bond and I am trying to break the habit of making him wait when he arrives for me to finish getting ready. It is a tad ridiculous and just keeps happening, one of those atrocious habits that is born out of sheer laziness and poor time management skills. I just love, love, love, love that guy. If I am the toothbrush, he is the floss, the Ron to my Harry, the Patty to my Sandi, the Pepper to my Doctor, the Dorothy to my Rose, the world's best person and my FAVOURITE. He keeps me sane, he really does. The picture is from the wedding in which I performed last weekend. I think it is a classy and interesting shot. There is loads to deliver and reveal as I took a brief hiatus, not intentionally, but I...

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
