tofallfromgrace.com : the blog

so we have been going through a little revamping…decided it was time since about half my links were broken/dead/leading to mysterious portals. it was due for a bit of spring cleaning (on the second day of summer, figure that one out).

so, join the mailing list if you want to be updated on posts, kiddos…

and look at all those nice shiny “stagger’s links” you should visit, now that i’ve culled out all the slackers….

ah, but you must try our new main course: stagger’s pick(s) of the week…do not worry, my little ones, the stagger will buy you a beer to help numb the pain.

so let me explain our specials this week:

rock-and-roll god-in-training, dastardly designer and master wordsmith brian wood made his debut as a professional dirt columnist yesterday. until that link is up and running, please make do with the magical meanderings of his manical mind at his blog, Wood Shed.

visit designer extraordinaire and soon-to-be intrepid traveller ryan mckibbin here. read about his new life in costa rica when he begins to blog!

of course, do not forget to take a peek into scot lefavor’s world. up-and-coming boulder artist and all around nice guy.

so until next time, dearest readers…save the last dance for me.

but i might actually post this weekend…it has been an incredible week, in more ways than one.

keep an eye on the stagger, folks, because it is getting rather interesting in my life…this includes dating, work and new friends. all positive things for once, although i know you’ll miss my ranting.

okay, so here is the thing: love is insane.

literally, figuratively and certifiably insane.

we go our entire lives loving people, places, things, gods, and occasionally a really good tarantino flick.

here is what i say: pfft to that.

i have been in love. i AM in love for goodness’ sake.

has it gotten me anywhere? nope.

just a big, fat, whiny voice in my head saying “darnit”.

as in “darnit all, i love you so why can’t you just be cooperative and love me, too?”

or

“i love you and always will but this just will never work out, darnit.”

or

“i love you but, darnit, the restraining order says i have to stay at least 300 feet away but i looooooooooovvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeee you, nelly”

or

well - i think you get the point, darnit…

i believe that i have always worn my heart on my sleeve. i fall in love and that is where i stay because i still think there is that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. that happy ending. that “as you wish…” that wesley yells to the princess as he tumbles down the hillside.

so far i have gotten a whole bunch of “eh?”.

i keep the dream. that i still have. because that makes me who i am.

yes, i may be a bit sappy, but i will always have the knowledge that the people in my life — i have always loved them well.

that makes me me.

even if they do not always know it. or care. or love me back.
