Do You Remember? − 11 May, 2009
Posted by Oblivious about 1 month ago 227 views
Do you remember those lazy days we used to spend out by the lake? You could hardly call us fisherman, but there we were with our bait and tackle close by. You showed me how to bait a hook, and how to pull a fish off the line once you’ve caught it, even though I could never bring myself to t...  read more

I'm writing a book − 9 April, 2009
Posted by Oblivious 2 months ago − 3 comments 122 views
consisting mostly of my dandelife stories, some of which will be reworked or completely rewritten.  I found a website through flickr that allows you to self publish, and I thought the stories I've written for dandelife over the last couple of years one make a great book.  It s...  read more

The Truckstop − 17 February, 2009
Posted by Oblivious 4 months ago 248 views
Whenever I start work in a new place, inevitably the conversations I have with my coworkers will branch into their personal lives. Usually, this happens after a few months have gone by and they and I are comfortable enough to discuss such things. It seems that here at the truck stop, their policy...  read more

To Nathan − 23 January, 2009
Posted by Oblivious 5 months ago 202 views
I can't promise you the best childhood. I can't promise that you'll have as much as some of the kids, or that everyone will like you, or that things will be easy. I won't be able to tell you why it hurts so much, only that it will. I know that there will come a time when I no longer understand wh...  read more

My Thoughts on the New Dandelife − 8 January, 2009
Posted by Oblivious 5 months ago − 2 comments 229 views
The StreamsOne of the biggest changes, and one that I agree with. For the most part. While I would like to see Twitter return, most everything was just fluff. While it was neat to see what kind of music a person listens to, or what sites they frequent, or what movies they were renting, it never r...  read more

Filterless − 22 December, 2008
Posted by Oblivious 6 months ago 232 views
A thought -- I hesitate to call it a realization -- came to me tonight. I was sitting in the kitchen, eating a sandwich at the end of the table, facing the living room. I watched my mother and her husband as they watched television and talked about old cars, and my little brother, ...  read more

For Rent − 28 November, 2008
Posted by Oblivious 6 months ago 200 views
I was dubious, stepping up to the door, of whether or not this was the right place. Small white letters just under a tired knocker told me that it was in fact the office, so I knocked. After a few moments an Asian man looking half awake and in no mood to talk opened the door. The first thing I no...  read more

Baby Boy − 23 November, 2008
Posted by Oblivious 6 months ago − 4 comments 227 views
I can hear him moving from the living room. He is awake because he is hungry. I'm awake because, well, he's hungry. Hey isn't crying when I come in, simply staring into the kitchen with a pari of wide, familiar eyes. He looks up at me and waits to see what I'm going to do. I sink to the floor of ...  read more

Think of Me When I'm Gone − November, 1997
Posted by Oblivious 6 months ago − 3 comments 256 views
"Are you going to miss me?"I bubbled with mischief."What do you mean?"I turned to face him, furrowing my brow. Malice laced my tongue."When I leave. You know I'll have to don't you?"His eyes widened. I could see the small whites of them there in the dark."No, wh...  read more
