CellarDweller:
Hey y'all!
Decided to start a daily blog here as well! I'm sure you're all just bubbling over with excitment about it!
What to expect here? Daily thoughts, occasional whining, much goofiness, and poems I've written will be posted here.
Looking forward to responses and feedback, so don't hold back!

The Empty Frame
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I wake up, and turn off the alarm
look at the pictures in my room
all the friends that are around me
and the empty frame
waiting to be filled
I drive to work, and look to my right
at the empty passenger seat of my car
wishing there was an indentation in it
from where someone was sitting
I walk through my day at work
processing paperwork
while the woman at the desk next to me
is making dinner plans with her husband
and I have to go to other people's desks
and see pics of wives and husbands
I go to the park for my jog
and work up a sweat
as I watch couples hand in hand
taking in the sunset
while I run by unnoticed
My family is away, so I make myself dinner
for one
and listen to mindless chatter on tv
no messages from friends on my machine
they are all busy
with their husbands or wives
I sign onto my personal ads online
and go through the replies
another rejection....oh well
there's always tomorrow
Getting into the bed
sliding between cold sheets
even a single bed can feel like a king size
when you are alone in it
set the alarm and look at the empty frame
wondering when I'll have a pic
to put in it.

That was wonderful Chuck. I for once am at a loss how to respond.

Damn it Chuckie!
Ya made me cry at work!
That was sad but beautiful.
I know a lot of folks who feel that way.
Well, your blog has started off with a bang!
Welcome to our daily thoughts!
Now I have to go find an F'ing tissue!

I love the idea of having an empty frame waiting. I think that is really cool. And you are the most optimistic (and rightly so) person I have ever met.
