Took a little break, and then picked it up again — no pun intended.  That guitar kills my fingers. 

     They bleed … it hurts to type.

     Been working with a new company a little lately, introducing some of my customers and doing a bit of cross-promotion.  I’ve also been working on some experimental car stuff a bit and doing a bit of research. 

     But all in all, not one single bit of it makes me miss my Wildcat any less.

     Ok, it seems Pink Foyd: The Wall is becoming a recurring theme.

     I’ve been sitting here most of the night, rebuilding a couple of laptops, listening to the Wall Sountrack (which is a little different than the actual album).  A bit ago, I decided to pick up the guitar and play along with it.

     My fingers are bleeding…

     I gotta either quit playing, or play more.

     But I miss my Wildcat … so I play.

     Unconditionally.

     Love you, baby.

     I’ve lost my job.  My things.  My car.  My home.  My family.  My sanity.

     My Wildcat… She taught me how to Love, how to be open…

     And then … what it feels like to truly fear.

     I can have all all I want in the world, but it will never matter without her.

     Because now I’ve lost her, too.

     And there’s not a damn thing I can do about it.  No amount of compromise, bending over backwards, psychiatry, psychology or anything else can fix this.  She’s made up her mind: “Goodbye, Mark.”

     And still, I am completely and totally in love with her.  There is no compromise, there’s no less love, there’s no anger, just …. fear.

     Now my biggest fear is realized.

     I lost her.

     And I just want to sleep and not wake up again.
