Confessions


Sometimes I raise my arms slowly like I am singing the ultimate phrase of a song in a concert where the audience is captivated. Odd thing is, I never sing a note during this. I just raise my arms slowly.

I bought nose hair trimmers yesterday. I thought I looked good the other day and looked in the mirror to behold a forest of nasal buddies that NO ONE wants to see.

I found my first ear hair. Really?

Sometimes I do not feel like my "real" life has started.

If I could do anything, I would sing and tell my stories through song.

I used to want to talk everything out and now I would rather let most things lie and see what happens organically.

The holidays depress me so.

I wish my Dad knew the man I am today.

Sometimes life makes me mad: the changes, the not knowing of it all.

Those very reasons are also why I love life.

I simply cannot stand pissy gay men. They are like odd party favour peacocks that should be put down.

Sometimes, often really these days, I am not sure there is a guy out there for me. Not in the "please tell me I am worth it" way. I know I am worth it... just saying I am not sure he really exists.

Sometimes I am not sure how much I love theatre. At times, I find it silly.

Very few people hold my interest very long.

I like being confident.

Sex for only the sake of sex can get old really quickly.

I like writing to do lists, they make me feel alive.

I think that I have just about the best handwriting I have ever seen.

Sometimes I get weary of life lessons.

Sometimes I am a complete and utter shit ass piss ant cry baby. In these times, I try to close my door and escape into the realm of Central Perk or the Pie Hole or the West Wing.

I loathe that we have to worry about money. I wish we could do what we loved and live off the land, etc. I think that life has gotten far too complicated.

Most gay guys I seem to meet make me think "I am glad I am not like them."

I am scared my CD will sound like a piece of shit.

I feel like all I do is laundry sometimes.

I want a dog and a bird.

I wonder if I should have a kid.

Sometimes I feel like I live my life in a messy way. I look at the "put-togethers" and wonder how they do it, find the consistency. Other times I think that is what makes me the grand human I am. :-)

Almost every day, I think about performing a cabaret/concert/telling stories. It is me.

Here are just a few confessions given to you. Do with them what you will.

(This is a quote from "You've Got Mail" that I have loved for years. Somehow, I find it applicable for this musing.)

"Sometimes I wonder about my life. I lead a small life. Well, not small, but valuable. And sometimes I wonder, do I do it because I like it, or because I haven't been brave? So much of what I see reminds me of something I read in a book, when shouldn't it be the other way around? I don't really want an answer. I just want to send this cosmic question out into the void. So good night, dear void."

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...
