“The most painful state of being is remembering the future, particularly one you can never have.”<\/p>\n
Of course, this quote comes to me out of the blue while I accidentally run across some old missives from a loved one. The discovery of the missives felt like someone was throwing acid on me, the quote only served to make the pain more of a cliche. But Kierkegaard was really such a boor and so why should we even consider his philosophical cynical view of things. <\/p>\n
On happier thoughts, the whole third floor of Building One at the American Can just congregated at the new neighbors’ apartment for happy hour. H was on a roll telling us about the people who couldn’t swim during Katrina, then he started on me about posting an enlarged photograph of my thigh bite from the evicted dogs – well T (German Shephard owner) who had left moments before, walked right back in when H was telling the story, and agh – I hope he didn’t hear because H was on a roll about it. <\/p>\n
So M&K, the new neighbors, both from the Midwest, moved here post-Katrina and so there – see it’s not just us New Orleanians that are crazy enough to be here – people actually are moving here now, to live and work. M is in Media and K is in Film – so we’re happy to have them here with us at the Can.<\/p>\n
H came back to my apartment for twist and cocktails – we learned tonight that H&J (across the hall from me) are moving into a house they are closing on in September – so sad. She is the exnun, with the three adopted children and her new old husband H – I love her to death. Anyway the other H had me going with tales of this woman he has been seeing – telling me how she has no life of her own and she has a son who is nuts – we were both doubled over in laughter. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
