JULES DELORME

  walk with madness by  jules f. delorme i do not choose to walk with madness to flit between the shadows and the light to dance with chaos whirling like a dervish till the lines are blurred and the world is ever off balance in the many places where the bedlam lives where nothing ever settles and no thing can come to rest where only the mad are invited to the table yet i do choose but i do not choose my madness is like the cat in that box that erwin thought so deeply about and the chaos that he so fought so hard to contain i do not fight against the pandemonium but i cannot embrace it either i walk with my madness sometimes i run sometimes i fall into the black hole falls my tremulous sanity  and i am embraced so very tightly though i cannot encompass this darkness or perhaps perhaps i do i sit at the table i am invited  i am commanded with the hatters and the rabbits back and back to the table i do not choose to walk with madness to drift between the shadows and the...

  On The Covid Lockdown Okay, I’m going to try weighing in on this one. As someone who has worked in both the fitness and bar industry this lockdown is a gut punch. As someone who fell into a deep dark hole of depression and overeating and only came out of that hole when the gyms opened and I could work out, I am personally floored by this latest lockdown in Toronto and the surrounding regions. But, as much as I don’t like Doug Ford’s politics in general, I have to remind myself that this isn’t his fault. It’s ours. I personally made every effort to follow protocols, but I didn’t like doing it, and many, too many people just decided to ignore them. On Hallowe’en night, while walking Benji, I counted at least 5 house parties going on where driveways were crowded with cars and you could tell by the noise that there was way too many people crowded into houses and apartments. Did I report them? No I didn’t. I feel a personal repulsion from growing up in the neighbourhoods I did against...

  So, um, Jon Voight, who usually plays villains and lunatics, isn't just acting crazy anymore... Couple of minor points, aside from the crazy... He is in fact not standing before us, but sitting. It's not even close to the biggest battle since the civil war... And Muhammad Ali never said that. (I'm an Ali fanatic. I know.) Maybe he should try talking to an empty chair on a stage... No. Wait. That's been done already....

 

As someone with Asperger's I want to make this clear. Autism is not a psychosis and Autistic people know the difference between right and wrong. And we have feelings. We just can't always express them. This coward's autism is not the reason he committed this horrible act. https://toronto.ctvnews.ca/alek-minassian-says-he-s-not-criminally-responsible-for-toronto-van-attack-1.5182129   #torontovanattack #alexminnasiantrial #autism #autismawareness #autismspeaks #autismspectrum #autismspectrumdisorder #aspergers #aspergerssyndrome #aspergersawareness

 

  As if Dolly Parton wasn't already cool enough. Brilliant song writer. Gifted musician. Funny and just all round good human being. And now her million dollar contribution helps give us a vaccine. While so much of the world seems to be going to hell, you rock Dolly!

  coyote took my shoe by jules f. delorme coyote took my shoe. nikakwaho'ta':'ah took my shoe. she wanted my shoe and i gave it to her and now she went and run off with my shoe. it’s gonna be hard walking back. a long way. and the railroad track is all pebbles and rocks. sharp rocks. hot metal. that’s gonna be hard on my socking foot. railroad tracks are the best place to find nikakwaho'ta':'ah. she and i been meeting up here for over a month now. sometimes i give her some of my protein bar. sometimes we play. sometimes she just wants me to scratch behind her ears. this is the first time she wanted my shoe. this is the first time she took my shoe. walking back is really gonna hurt. maybe i should just take the sock off and go bare foot. maybe i should take the other shoe off and then both socks but it’s all pebbles and stones and the sun has made the rails too hot and the wood planks between the rails are probably going to be full of slivers. i’m going to look...
