Quick update, divorce papers are signed.

I'm seeing the light of it all, and will be happier, so will she likely.

Oh, and I met a girl, and she's awesome. ;)

Now that's what I'm talking about Lambone! Separation and divorce can be really gnarly, but it can lead to such wonderful things.

I quit drinking during a troubled marriage. The marriage eventually ended (amicably, I'm happy to report) but I never drank again, and that's been a real gift. Sure, I went back and forth about whether I was a real boozer or not - should I 'control it', blah blah, but after the fact - none of that mental masturbation mattered at all. It was just so much simpler not to pour it down the pie hole.

For such a good solvent it doesn't seem to offer up many solutions. Plus, that sh#t is a Super Supplement For Fat Phuks. A cooworker once called it Liquid Aging. Go to a high school reunion and you can instantly pick out who's been hittin' the sauce and who hasn't. Wow.

Now I actually have to go out and rustle up a bout of food poisoning to feel nauseous or smack my head to get a headache.

Thank you, Darlin'! Still love ya! (just in that, you know, ex hubby kinda way).

Marriage turns happy people sad. Divorce makes sad people happy. That's cynical, huh? It's the divorce support page and the fact is that you were miserable together and your spouse was lame ;)

it took a good girl leaving me
to surmount this phase of the dream.

i stand higher upon the most unlikely events.

we are keeping this thing civil,
so last night we all (her and i and the children)
met for dinner.

i sat next to the missus and the girls
sat across the booth from us.

at one point she put her hand on my knee,
then recoiled it and apologized,
saying that it was only out of habit.

i responded,
"so it wasn't sincere?
that's like my heart beat.
it only happens these days
out of habit.
lacking sincerity
to thrust its ship onwards.

as a matter of fact,
sleeping with ear plugs the other night,
i could hear my heart,
distinctly lacking rhythm.
it sounded more like it was
falling off a shelf, and then
painfully getting back up,
climbing to it's potential,
and then falling off the shelf again.

thud. scrape. pause. thud.

i guess that's the sound of a broken heart."
