Ambition this shall tempt to rise,
And moody Madness laughing wild
Amid severest woe.

Oblivious
Did you ever have one of those days where you suddenly found out all kinds of secrets about your family? I never realized how completely oblivious I am to what's going on around me.
oh hell yes. even without the deserved reputation that the apache have for being notoriously tight lipped, our clan has its cherished deep dark secrets.
No, it happens to all of us. I'm 36, and I'm still finding out new things about my family every day.
ReplyDeleteMy family? No, not really. We're a pretty gossipy bunch, so everyone really knows everything. It's more co-workers that continue to surprise me.

ReplyDeleteAre you talking about big secrets or little secrets?
ReplyDeleteI am usually pretty observant about human behavior. It's car license plates that I'm totally oblivious to.
BIG secrets. Big, huge, I wish I could unlearn them secrets.
ReplyDeleteWhat secrets? I must be oblivious too!
ReplyDeletewaitaminute...is this referring to the time i told mom when you snuck out of the house to go with your friends to rocky horror?
ReplyDeleteNo, it's John's side!
