His thoughts tumbled in his head, making and breaking alliances like underpants in a dryer without Cling Free. 3. He spoke with the wisdom that can only come from experience, like a guy who went blind because he looked at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it and now goes around the country speaking at high schools about the dangers of looking at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it. 4. She grew on him like she was a colony of E. coli, and he was room temperature Canadian beef. 5. She had a deep, throaty, genuine laugh, like that sound a dog makes just before it throws up. 6.

Vivid Story telling and metaphors

Right now I?ve Billy Bragg coming through the Speakers, New England.I?ve been thinking about film more and more lately, looking at the visual ways to tell a story, and wondering how they might translate into writing and carry the same tone. In particular, I was remembering a short film. I think it was called Tornado, or Hurricane.It was the summation of a young mother?s life and death as a junky, the Tornado reference came from The wizard of Oz. The story was jarring; she told her own narrative as the camera captured moments of her life; prostituting herself, ODing in public toilets, and eventually her death. Despite all this the narrator held a rose colored lens to it all, knowing that things would soon get better for her, and whenever things got tough, she?d let the tornado take her away. At the end of the tornado was the happy contrast, the dream she clung too. A house, a...

Life Metaphors
2007-12-27 03:38:00 I have amassed a collection of life metaphors. Some were personally authored by me, and some I obtained from the net and other sources. The comparisons of life to things and objects are very intersting to note and if you have other ideas please free to add one. Thanks. Have fun reading!Life is like a seed. It will never grow unless planted and nourished.Life is like a river. With all its bends and rapid falls, one must follow the right path or else you'll lost your way to the sea.Life is like a box of chocolates. You'll never know what you're going to get.Life is like a bagel. It's delicious when it's fresh and warm, but often it's just hard. The hole is the middle is its great mystery, and yet it wouldn't be a bagel without it.Life is like eating grapefruit. First you have to break through the skin; then it takes a couple of bites to get used to the taste, and just as you begin to enjoy it, it squirts you in the eye.Life is like a banana. You start out green and get soft and...

A Storm of Pain, and other shameless metaphors
2007-11-07 17:57:00 Humans are interesting creatures, not unlike animals in their desire to shun pain, to do what they can to avoid the sting of a wound, be it physical or emotional. About the time I stopped posting to my blog I had stepped into the axis of my pain, and I have to admit, it surprised me.Just weeks earlier I had been talking with my friend Mary, explaining that I had already mourned the end of my marriage three years ago. All that was left to grieve was the impact it was having on my children (can we say denial?). I was efficiently moving through my divorce, checking through these emotional steps like items on a To-Do list. That’s when the unbearable pain hit me, stealing my breath. Suddenly my heart resembled a split melon, wide and messy with emotion. I thought I was going to die, thought I wanted to die, and gravitated towards my ex, the only one who truly understood how much our divorce hurt.Not until this moment have I recognized two types of pain. One steals upon you slowly and b...
