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 Unbroken Thread

Happy Christmas. It is upon us in this hour, this time, this day... after all the fuss, the frenetic pace, it smiles as it does each year finding us in some of the same places and in some different phases. I always flip through the rolodex of my life on this day, remembering the last 30 Christmases (well I guess I don't remember the first few that well) like they are all connected in one amazing thread charting my successes, my growth, my defeats, my darkness, and my light. Technically Christmas has not really begun. I have not done the ritual of heading to my Mom's and opening gifts and waltzing to see our Christmas film, but I have already been touched by Christmas. I write a lot, in this land of musings I have shared 257 writings with you, my friend, my reader spirits. Much has happened in these past two years, but let me simply write that I was not sure that I would ever enjoy Christmas again, ever really feel connected to it, no matter what I tried to do, I felt adrift ...

Loving the Squiggly

I was typing the other day and instead of hitting the ! key I hit the ~ key. Two odd altercations happened between two friends and me via facebook so I have deactivated my account for a bit. It was hurtful and unexpected. So when I hit the ~ key it made me smile and forget all that nonsense. ~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ 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
