Schedules
I don't like schedules,
they interfere, control,
they grate.
My friend thrives on them,
insists we arrive by them,
never a minute late.
I don't like schedules
I bin them,
incinerate them.
There they can wait
pining to be adhered to
until they rot.
Schedules aren't nice.
not a healthy way
of life.
Where's the schedule?
It's all screwed up
with the others,
an unnecessary evil
man created
to destroy my peace.

All screwed up
I don't like schedules,
they ruin everything,
trying to take control
and interfere.
My friend thrives on them,
insists we arrive by them,
not a minute late
or else she'll scream.
I'm throwing all schedules
in the bin.
They can sit there
rotting, pining to be adhered to
Schedules aren't
a healthy way to live,
they make me
nervous, edgy, tense.
Where's the schedule?
It's in the bin
with the others,
all screwed up.

Just Friends VS. Best Friends
A Just Friend says.. hi, ..hello, ..bye, ... and walks away...
A Best friend always stop by your side & asks how Are You doing? ?
A Just Friend has never seen you cry.
A Best friend has shoulders soggy from your tears.
A Just Friend thinks the friendship is over, when you have an argument.
A Best friend knows that it's not a friendship, until after you've had a fight.
A Just Friend hates it when you call, after he has gone to bed.
A Best friend asks you.... why you took so long to call.
A Just Friend, when visiting, acts like a guest.
A Best friend opens your refrigerator and helps himself.
A Just Friend expects you to be always there for any help.
A Best friend is always there, wherever you require any help.
A Just Friend doesn't have time in his/her busy schedule,
A Best friend always have time for you in his/her busy schedules....
A Just Friend phones you whenever he/she has some work,
A Best friend calls you often just to hear your voice.....
A Just Friend doesn't have anything to talk to you on phone,
A Best friend doesn't know...what all to finish...

I don't do interviews at all when I'm on tour, so this time, on a day off, I'll do that kind of thing a little bit. I don't do big promotion schedules, not when I'm touring.

I just travel all the time. And I was just looking at the schedules now and starting the first week of October I will be every weekend with somebody at tournaments through Christmas. So it gets very difficult to just go away and not do that.

I am looking forward to going to Dubai because it gives us an opportunity to interact with each other. We can sit and enjoy each other's company. We can go out for a walk without worrying about shooting schedules.

Chronicles Of Wasted Time
Another season gone
Winter, spring, summer, fall
Squandered schedules
Consumption of the clock on wall
(1 July 2007)
We have a great time on that show, and we enjoy one another's company on stage and off. And sitcoms don't have bad schedules. We started out working five days a week, but now we're down to three.

Different Roads
I have discovered during my years of travel,
So many have different schedules...
To arrive at the same destiny.
With the taking of different roads...
Streets and paths.
As we attempt to complete,
Assignments on our journeys...
Before we leave to pass.
I have discovered during my many years,
Of conflicts, mistakes made and experiences...
I have managed to survive with a wish to succeed.
That the real purpose we all are here to achieve...
With a final judgement made on those tasks,
Is to please the wishes of One God!
With every question we had to ask,
Answered.

Sick of home
Sometime I get homesick for places I have never been.
I get wanderlust so badly it makes me grind my teeth till they shatter..
During the grave shift, at the shelter,
some nights, will I do nothing but look up bus and (even better) train schedules.
(Everyone knows trains are the only romantic way to travel)
I use maps and red markers to plot escape routes.
I always have a fire escape and enough bills to leave town.
8 hours spent with maps and bus schedules spread out on the floor of a locked office... plotting the great escape.
I have been homesick for Russia: (Thanks to Dostoyevsky and Akhmatovaa)
Henry Miller made me homesick for the Paris of the 40's.
I blame two things on literature:
two fatal cracks and fissures in my personality,
cracks and fissures that often manifest in 'strange' and 'inappropriate' places.
(Watch the news and tell me there is anything that can be called
'inappropriate behavior' these days....)
The two 'feet of clay' I place squarely on literature's doorstep are:
My ability to only feel at home in places where I am not,
and my Heroin addiction.
Cos every good junkie:
Heroin or travel
have their mentors.

A Flowing Done 'With' The Winds
A flowing done 'with' the winds of change
Is easier to adjust to
Than attempting to create the winds
To flow when one schedules changes to be done
Many will discover those currencies circulating seen
To be weak

With Unsolicited Interest
The only ones who find freedom difficult to deal with,
Are those doing their best to monitor the lives of others...
Feeling free to do as they please with no schedules to follow.
Or appointments to keep to satisfy the ones who spend their time,
Minding someone else's business and with unsolicited interest.

Finding Time
time is such a huge space
and you find yourself inside it
so huge, sometimes you do not
not what to do with the empty
spaces that still haunt us
despite the calendars and
hectic schedules set by us
by them....
there is this stare that we give
to the wind
and we still have no answers

Hard Habits Do Not Really Change
the morning wakes you up
with palpitations
it has no plan ending
this travails
you resolve that schedules
must change
always there are promises
that break their heads and
limbs
against the cliffs of
habits that never give you
a chance to change.

Royal Queen
It succeeds on the basis of wellness,
Yet since we learn on matters of health,
The story is the same and the very same,
I agree.
It fails on the thinking schedules,
Yet as we all learn on the wealth that gives power
To us all, the very same thing can be said:
Keep a work out and keep a nicety with.
I do not see!
