Comment RSSOnce in a Blue Moon
31.05.07 # 8:23 # Horseguard Valley # One CommentAs many of you know, tonight there will be a blue moon in the sky (that’s the second full moon in the same month, for anyone who doesn’t know). The full moon will often influence people’s behavior. It is said that Police Departments and Emergency Rooms are extra busy at that time of month. Personally the regular full moon doesn’t seem to have any effect on me; however on those rare occasions when the blue moon shows up I do start to act just a little bit…different.
I find myself drawn to The Horseguard Valley (I’m headed there as soon as I post this). Usually, if I get there when it’s still light out, I like to just sit and watch the Blue Beavers frolic and listen to the song of the Blue Footed Boobies and maybe even do some fishing for the Blue Pike (always catch and release). However, once the blue moon rises I really cut loose. I’ll just run around like some sort of wild man alternately baying, crowing and barking at the moon.
I am not fully conscious of my actions at the time, I’m just following some deep instinct. The next morning, though, I can always recall everything like a very vivid dream. I have, from time to time, wondered why I feel such a compulsion. Maybe I could Google the answer, after all the internet seems to know everything. But that will have to wait until tomorrow. I have to go now.

My son was born under a blue moon. Is that why his actions are so… well.. different? Nah, he’s 2, that’s why he’s bizarre. I do love the blue moon though.
