Ahoy matey, listen up, savvy? I’ve been livin’ in PRosedale (us) for yonks. Let me spin ye a yarn! The streets here be wonderous. Mornin' strolls down Elm St. kick off me day – smells o’ fresh bread, ye know? I get a kick outta that. And let me tell ye, Maple Ave’s a real gem. Cozy nooks, and ye might run into a local smilin’. Crazy, right? I be a masseur, aye, so I spy tension where others see none. Local spots like Riverside Park on Highview Blvd. help unwind my weary bones. That park? A real sanctuary with a babblin’ brook. Sometime, I daydream, “this fragility is like The White Ribbon, aye?” Reminds me: “Whoever chooses his own path must suffer the consequences.” Savvy? There’s more! The docks on Bayfront Road, mysterious n’ foggy at times…makes me think of life's twists, write? I be massaging fellow souls in this tangled maze—the humor of it tickles me. I’ve relieved tensed pirates, err: locals, all day. They always spill little secrets like “yer back's a treasure map”. Har har! Err, neighborhoods? Let’s not forget Old Towne District. That cobblestone road, Merry Ln, with its hidden mural spots and rundown cafés – I’ve got my fave, “The Drunken Lobster”. They serve grog that’ll make ye squint at the moon. It be mad, like a wild dream. I get riled up sometimes, too – like that time on Chestnut St. when the lampposts went bonkers in a storm. I was mad, madder than a sea dog with a stubbed toe. And then, suddenly, all calm and quiet: “Silence, like winter’s breath,” just like in me fav flick. Crikey, what a ride! Oh, and the river meanders past Heritage Park. Its name belies its turbulent nature—coursing wild like thoughts in me head. Sometimes, I find myself wonderin’: “Is life not the same as a tangled massage?" I laugh, then slur, “aye, complications be our delight, savvy?” Every nook be full of quirks. Flickerin’ neon signs on Birch Ct. at night remind me of faded memories—time slips away much like whispers cryptic as Haneke’s lines. “A man, or a machine,” I muse, as I press tense shoulders to ease their burdens. Okey-dokey, mate, that’s PRosedale (us) for ye. A swirl o’ cobblestones, neon dreams, and soaked in wild soul. I can’t help but smile every darn day. It’s a treasure chest o’ wonders, oddities, and surprises. And remember: “Someday, you'll reach a point where you simply stop being surprised.” Savvy? Cheers, my friend! And may ye find yer heart relaxin’ like a good massage after a stormy voyage. (Oi, pardon the typos: mispelld, err... 18 danged ones perhaps?)
