i thought about the seasons today as i recall the invitation from ben and gary to see Juno with them last night. how events and periods of the film are split into seasons. it was only the other day when the heavy winds and strong rays of sun were drenching our vacationed bodies in ventotene. then the coldness of the winter and being separated from boBo in parma and san diego. followed now by a spring that has been schizophrenic yet blossoming into another eagerly anticipated warm spell.

and with this pleasantness around me, it is time for me to bid adieu. not that i necessarily want to leave boBo, but larger plans are in store for us now and it only seems how the natural movement of events should proceed. the apartment, as pleasant as it has been, will no longer be ours as of the 15th. my position, again despite being a terrific experience, is gone for the time being. but most importantly, i need to give boBo some time alone in order for him to complete his thesis. something that i believe he will accomplish with much more exactitude once i am out from under his feet, so to speak.

i'm not going to wonder about the future and all the expectations that are in store for both of us together as well as apart. i can only focus on the next word that i am deliberating to type on this text. for now, that is all i can do.

passages: part one.

*sigh. it has been too long since i have been able to get back into the blog again. i use the word able cautiously and more as an excuse than anything.

although much has been happening with me and boBo and the both of us together, i have been finding it hard to choose my words succinctly enough to put on the screen. the coincidental computer slow down at the house has been a convenient scapegoat, if nothing else.

since the beginning of march when the two of us were able to get away from italy and into steamy baths and swanky pubs, nothing has really been the same around these parts.

for one thing, if tourists could be compared to the volume adjuster on your choice of music-listening-device, then the police should be called in for a noise complaint. the early part of the year, although seemingly heavy with groups of ear-mic cladded followers of heightened umbrellas was simple fare to what has happened once "spring" arrived. the waves of flashes going off and rivers of determined site-seers passing by my doorstep have given me more than ample excuses for staying in or exiting the walls of the city for weekend excursions, something of an on-going thing as of late.
