Best Friend

The brick and mortar embellishment
conceals despair.
I buried it in the backyard,
along with that old rag of a dog,
that I loved and held to my heart.
Passed on and by too fast for
my eyes and hands to grab tight.
And I wonder now, if I had held
just a bit tighter, would I have
a handful of fur rather than dirt
and hurt?






p.s. been body snatching...Mayo is Keyser Söze.

Cool jokes, guys!

I'm partial to blonde jokes. ;)
(Wonder why that is???)

My favorite is about the Polish guy who goes to the optometrist.

The optometrist tells the Polish guy to cover his right eye with his hand and read the third line on the chart.

"K...R...Z...Y...L...S...E...W...Y...Z... Hey, I know that guy!"

:p

Star - I quit my job at the pet store, and then mom announced that she was bringing Harley in.

I was incapable for a week. Completely lost.

I must say, it was peaceful in a way... but also awful. They used two injections, and he began to fret. He wanted to walk, but he couldn't, so he was crying while I held him.

Cupcake, I'm so sorry. We never forget those days; they're so horrible.

MissT, that is brilliant. I might steal that.

Hey SisM, I sent you a quick message.

MissT - I hate camo. HATE.

Cupcake - I can't bring myself to remember being there.

I remember going in with a dog, and coming out without one.

And that's hard to remember some days.

I'm a-okay, thanks guys!

Are we telling jokes? 'Cause I've got lots of those!

A girl & her boyfriend go to the pub. When it's the girl's turn to buy a round, she tells him that she's heard of a wonderful new drink he simply must try.

She returns with the usual half lager for herself. For him, she has two glasses. One contains a measure of Bailey's, the other lime juice.
She says "OK, what you gotta do is, you gotta swig the Bailey's, hold it in your mouth, and then drink the lime juice."

He looks a bit dubious, but she's very enthusiastic so he decides to give it a go.

First the Bailey's; lovely smooth, creamy, warm feeling in the mouth. Then he takes the lime juice.

T + 0.1 secs: The cream in the Bailey's curdles.
T + 0.3 secs: Boyfriend's face turns the color of fresh lime juice.
T + 0.6 secs: Boyfriend calms his stomach & swallows the gunge.
T + 1.5 secs: She whispers in his ear....

Vivienne said...

Amyranth, Kapunua, thanks for the support. It's amazing how much it hurts.
We had the vet come out to our place, mostly because Mischa got too frail to travel.
But he got held by me as he died, so he wasn't alone.
God I miss him.
He smelt so good.. no really.
I still have some of his fur.
It's soft and fluffy.
Ahh crap, I'm crying all over the keyboard.

MissTottenham said...

Nice one LH.

sister midnite said...

Keep the jokes coming, guys. It beats the hell out of thinking. :)

Fimble Star said...

sis i searched them on the internet hehehe

Amyranth said...

Cupcake - I did that a few nights ago. As long as your keyboard isn't wireless, you won't have any problems.

Like I said to Kapu earlier, somedays there's nothing, other days it hits me like a truck..

I chalk it up to the fact that I haven't had any tough losses ever.

Cupcake, I've kept a lock of hair from all of my pets, too. And my iguanas scales, which I still find around the house sometimes.

Loli Lovette said...

Okeeee

A mother and father took their 6 year old son to a nude beach. As the boy walked along the beach, he noticed that some of the ladies had boobs bigger than his mother's, and asked her why.

She told her son, "The bigger they are the dumber the person is."

The boy, pleased with the answer, goes to play in the ocean but returns to tell his mother that many of the men have larger willies than his dad. His mother replied, "The bigger they are the dumber the person is."

Again satisfied with this answer, the boy returns to the ocean to play.

Shortly after, the boy returned again. He promptly tells his mother, "Daddy is talking to the dumbest girl on the beach and the longer he talks, the dumber he gets."



Mehhh.

A little boy is crying and digging a hole when his neighbor peers over the fence.

She asks him "Why are you crying?"

He says, "My goldfish fish died."

She looks at the hole he's digging and says, "Well, that's an awfully big hole for a fish."

He says, "Well, my fish is inside your damn cat."

This is a totally true slighty freaky, sad but happy cat story that happened when I was 15.
I adopted a three legged black cat. I had him for about a week, when he ran out the back door one day. I was distraught.
About a month later I was walking down my block and saw him on a leash on this old woman's porch. As I walked up to the porch, she picked him up and was petting him and giving him treats from a big bowl she had beside her.
I said "Oh, what a lovely cat." She said "Yes, I just lost my husband and I was so depressed. And then kitty showed up and was scratching on my screen door one day about a month ago. Now he's mine. I love him so much." I almost started bawling, and I said, "Well, enjoy him."

I think I was meant to adopt him so he could do exactly what he did, go to her.

sister midnite said...

Amyranth, I agree sooo hard.
Kapunua, you too. If it wasn't for petloss.com, I don't think I would have made it. I had to work at home for a week, because I couldn't go ten minutes without crying my eyes out.

I think I took the loss of Minky as hard as I took the loss of my grandparents. I'm running out of people to lose, and it scares the fuck out of me.

And yet, the concept of my own death doesn't bother me at all. How strange is that???

Original Punk J said...

Our dear friend Mayo,

I know I said we were leaving for the night, but once we got out to the car, and sat down, and read your sad, sweet poem, we knew we had to come back for a moment.

The wall you built hides your despair, your heartbreak, that you say you buried. Do you feel that you've buried your beloved Ragdolly, that you have to hide your pain in the unmarked grave that his effigy inhabits?

One day here, next day gone: the friendship that lasted too short a time, or so you feel. Maybe, you think, maybe if I'd tried a little harder,I'd still be holding that treasured Ragdolly close to my heart, instead of regrets.

Best friend, partner in crime, confidante, brother, equal, counterpart, yin to yang.

It's never too late, until it's too late.

Call him. He's waiting to hear from you. He loves you. And you love him.

SS, please come back. We need you. Mayo needs you. I know that you have your reasons for leaving, but you've got some pretty fucking good ones to return, too. Love you, baby, come on home.

We love you both so very much.

J and L

That's good BC, I'm now swinging in between laughing at naughty jokes and crying over my dead dog...

A goth one. For STAR!!! I laughed. Probably won't seem funny if you don't like the music though, but if you do...

Wayne Hussey dies and goes to heaven. At the pearly gates, he meets up with
Gabriel who gives him the grand tour of heaven.
While toruing he sees many familiar faces including Jimi Hendrix, Ian Curtis,
Mary Shelley, and of course Nick Fiend kinda shows up once in a while...
And then he sees Andrew Eldritch Sitting on a HUUUGE throne..
Wayne Says to Gabriel "I didn't know Andrew was dead!"
Gabriel replies, "Oh, that's God(tm) He only thinks he's Andrew"

Amyranth said...

Okay, this joke couild get me hung.

But I'll tell it anyway.

On a frozen pond outside Edmonton, two young boys are playing hockey. All is well until out of nowhere, a giant dog comes running and tackles the smaller boy to the ground, biting him viciously. The older boy, thinking fast, uses his hockey stick to snap the dog's neck, effectively saving his friend's life.

A reporter from the Sun happens to be driving by and witnesses the whole thing. He jumps out of the car and begins to interview the older boy.

"Say! I've got a headline! 'Fiesty Flames Fan Saves Frightened Friend!'".

The boy shakes his head. "No sir, I don't like the Flames."

The reporter nods knowingly,
"Okay, How about 'Brave Oilers Boy Thwarts Brtual Attack!'".

He shakes his head again, "I'm sorry sir, but I I'm not from here. I'm actually a Maple Leafs Fan."

The reporter nods, and grimly writes on his pad,
"Little Bastard from Ontario Kills Beloved Family Pet."


- A is going TO HELL.

Cupcake, it is hard to lose a pet that becomes a part of your family. I had a rabbit name Trixie who died last year and I was heartbroken and so was my little sister, but at the time I told her that to always keep those memories of passed loved ones close to your heart, animal or human, so that way, you can keep their memory alive in you.

I have a really long Italian joke I could post... I'll post exactly as it reads, so any spelling errors aren't mine. Think really strong bad Italian accent. ^_~

One day I'm-a go to New York City to a big-a hotel. I go inna ristorante an' I tell-a da waitress to bring-a me coffee an'-a two piece-a toast. She tell-a me, you wanna to piss, you-a go to da bathroom. I tell-a her, you no unnerstan', I wanna two piece onna plate. She tell-a me you better NO piss onna plate, you sonomabitch. I no even KNOW da lady, an'-a she call-a me a sonomabitch.

I'm-a go see da city, and stop-a for lunch. There's a spoon an' a knife on-a da table, but no fok. So I tell-a da waitress I want a fok. She tell-a me EVERYBODY want a fok. I say, you no unnerstan' I wan' a fok onna table. She tell-a me, you better NO fok onna table, you sonomabitch.

Then I'm go to my room-a, and there's a blanket an' a pillow, but no sheet. So I call-a da manager and tell-a him I want a sheet. He tell-a me, you wanna sheet, you go to da toilet. I tell-a him, you no unnerstan' I wanna sheet on da bed. He tell-a me, you better NO sheet onna bed, you sonomabitch.

I built my house beside the wood
So I could hear you singing
And it was sweet and it was good
And love was all beginning
Fare thee well my nightingale
'Twas long ago I found you
Now all your songs of beauty fail
The forest closes 'round you.

Anonymous said...

Because of a few songs
Wherein I spoke of their mystery,
Women have been
Exceptionally kind
to my old age.
They make a secret place
In their busy lives
And they take me there.
They become naked
In their different ways
and they say,
"Look at me, Leonard
Look at me one last time."
Then they bend over the bed
And cover me up
Like a baby that is shivering.

Mayo; Very sad poem. Did you lose something or someone? I don't really want to get too into the poem, my interpretations tend to be wrong and I'm not very smart sooo..

Hey everyone! =]

Carrie said...

Goodnight Amyranth!

Carrie said...

Hey PH, I think it's pretty dead in here right now. I always seem to come on just as everyone is leaving. I guess it's the curse of having a husband who expects me to spend time with him in the evenings instead of typing away on a blog.

JocelynHolly said...

Hey Carrie!
Yeah.. it is dead! But that's okay! It is 11:49 pm where I am, so it makes sense. I was busy all day, so this is my first time here today, how are you? =]

Carrie said...

I'm fine. Had a fairly boring night of watching shows I taped this week. It's 12:51 here, I'm up late. What did you do today?

JocelynHolly said...

Ooh sounds fun enough!

First I went shopping with my dad, then took a 3 hour nap, then baked with my mom.

Carrie said...

The 3 hour nap sounds nice. :) I have to bake in the morning. My husband's church is having their Harvest Dinner and I've got to get up early and make a chicken casserole and a chocolate pie. I already made no bake cookies tonight. The Lutherans tend to be a hungry bunch.

Carrie said...

Kapu, where are the quotes from? I have a hard time keeping up with the learned bunch on here.

JocelynHolly said...

Haha.
That chocolate pie sounds delicious!! I'm not that big a fan of casseroles thoughhh. =]

OOOH I forgot to give you a hug when I came in!! *HUG*

I made those phillsbury chocolate chip cookie things, and then my mom and I made date squares and cherry pie!

Carrie said...

Duh, never mind--of course, Leonard Cohen. Gotta read up on that guy. Wasn't there a movie about him not too long ago?

Carrie said...

I'm not that big of a casserole fan myself, but they are pretty easy potluck fare. I've never made date squares, and just apple and pumpkin pies, not cherry. I'm already beginning to dread all my Christmas baking. I send out packages to friends, and I make three differnt kinds of biscotti, plus fudge and usually something else too.

Must I pull out my invisible nunchucks and beat those aliens with a stick?!

Or shall I smother them with hugs?!

Carrie said...

PH, I'm still here, I was just looking up Leonard Cohen on YouTube. So far the only song I'm familiar with is Hallelujah, and not even his version--just Jeff Buckley's.

I'm not familiar with anything by Leonard Cohan.. I think my mom may be though.. that might be where I heard it.

Ooh I have a dead pet story.
My dog was about 8 years old. My dad came home from work and noticed that my dog, Toby, wasn't acting like himself. He was very lazy and wasn't moving very fast. If he didn't get better by the next day, we were going to take him to the vets. Well, that night, my sister went to check on him outside. Right there, he literally rolled over and stopped breathing. Toby was THE best dog. I miss him every day. =[

Anonymous said...

ok I remembered a friend sent me this.
I warn you don't read it if you don't want a sob.
but it's beautiful

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

mayo,
wandering through again on my way to bed, thinking about your poem, about hanging on, about grasping something tightly in the hopes of never losing it.

i think letting go is actually better, even when it leaves you with pain. i say this as someone who never lets go at the proper time, of course. i wear shoes until they are falling apart on my feet, keep research for projects i've long since lost interest in, even stay married beyond the point of its demise.

hanging on is a comfort, but underneath, it's really just fear. it's being afraid of saying "this is done", of saying "good-bye", of the pain that comes with every ending. it's being afraid of that in-between time, when you don't know what you are anymore because what you knew is gone, and what is to come is still beyond your reach.

i think when you let go of something, at the fullness of time, in it's proper place in the cycle, not only are you doing something that takes great strength, you are doing something that requires great awareness, too.

of course, there's a difference between letting go at the proper moment, and pushing away, you know. pushing away is just the other side of the coin from hanging on. same motivations, same fears, same weaknesses.

does this have anything to do with you? does it have anything to do with your poem? how would i know? i'm just talking in my sleep again.

oh, hey. tomorrow, when i'm out applying for that job, wish me luck, okay? i need all of it that i can get.

good night to you, mayo, wherever you are.

Hey, Mayo. You're probably still sleeping, so you won't mind if I hijack your blog for a few seconds. :)

Morning Mayo,

Did you have an epiphany a short time back? I was astounded by your act of contrition, and your sadness resonates within the walls of this blog, felt by all.

If you have a significant other can you go to them. Let them hold you tightly. If not, I offer you that tight hug. I know it is not a solution to this feeling, but I feel that you need some comforting at this stage.

Hello Mayo, I never say hello to you!

Hi Everyone!

Pierre, a brave French fighter pilot, takes his girlfriend, Marie, out for a pleasant little picnic by the River Seine. It's a beautiful day and love is in the air. Marie leans over to Pierre and says, "Pierre, kiss me!"



Pierre grabs a bottle of Merlot and splashes it on Marie's lips. "What are you doing, Pierre?" says the startled Marie. "I am Pierre, the fighter pilot! When I have red meat, I have red wine!" She smiles and they start kissing.



Things began to heat up a little and Marie says, "Pierre, kiss me lower." Our hero tears her blouse open, grabs a bottle of Chardonnay and pours it on her breasts. "Pierre!! What are you doing now?" asks the bewildered Marie. "I am Pierre, the fighter pilot! When I have white meat, I have white wine!"



She giggles and they resume their passionate interlude, and things really steam up. Marie leans close to his ear and whispers, "Pierre, kiss me much lower!"



Pierre rips off her underwear, grabs a bottle of Cognac and pours it in her lap. He then strikes a match and lights the cognac on fire. Marie shrieks and dives into the River Seine. Standing waist deep, Marie throws her arms into the air and screams furiously, "PIERRE, WHAT THE F**K DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?"



Our 'hero' stands and says defiantly, "I am Pierre, the fighter pilot! If I go down, I go down in flames!"

Good morning/afternoon/evening mayo.

So you see yourself as Keyser Soze.

Are you really that ruthless?
Or maybe you equate KS as to being able to fool many as to who your true identity is? Well, that is certainly true.

The loss of a pet is sad.
More so is the loss of a dear friend that maybe you could have tried to make more of an effort to hold on to.

So there is dirt and hurt between you. But is it really there?
Didn't someone once say "...and mayo - my favourite"?

Maybe you should be making some effort now. Give up on the despair, and try again. If your friend was that dear to you don't give up so easily.

Don't be a quitter. Never give up. The friend is worth it.

Mayo,

Hello, How are you doing? Me? I am just about to be a whole lot better because it is time for coffee. I like coffee, but I do wish that it tasted just as good as it smelled. Oh well. Caffeine is always a plus.

Well, that's all I got right now. Just a good morning for you. Hey, I've only been up for 15 minutes. Give me at least another 20 and I am sure I can come up with something useful for you today.

Love to YOU Always,
S

p.s. *Wondering whose personality I shall steal today* sdock10 seems to have multiple personality disorder.


SS,

My dear friend, Please let us know how you are. We hope and pray that everything is fine with you and we want you to know that you are missed.

Hope, Faith, Love


Always,
S

p.s. Always Friends

S&V20,
Happy trails indeed. It's always nice to find something at the end of a scenic trail.
*pp apologises to tattoo man from welcome doormat at hell*

SD10,
So you are a morning person. And apparently an afternoon person, and an evening person lol
Chapstick is highly recommended when shitty ass rock dudes in shitty ass rock bands cause excessive lip licking.

Amyranth,
Don't forget to make the birthday boys birthday drink extra special and serve it at body temperature.

Passionfruit do?

Passionfruit would absolutely be just fine, thanks!


Frankie and a temper...He is human, so I am guessing he is just like the rest of us. He could proably throw one more motherfucking fit if provoked.

I know we forget that he is just a man and we think he is like some little angel inhabiting that tiny body. Awwh, but he is so precious.

*pp steals space on mayo's blog for SS*

SS,

I am really hoping the old adage of no news is good news.

See, everything here is nearly back to normal. The bonds and ties are strong around here and you are part of it.
You are missed.

Hoping you are okay,
Concerned.

Keeping the faith (in you)

Anyone else here besides me hate to go grocery shopping? I fucking hate going to Wal-Mart. I swear to God (and I am sorry because it's Sunday and all) but I swear every damn time I go to Wal-Mart it sucks years off of my life. It's like slowly selling your soul to Satan, and you fool yourself into thinking you are getting good bargains in return.

...just saying

Pickled Possum said...

*throws 'luscious passionfruit' chapstick over to SD10*

Ex-girlguides are very good at tying knots too. Ex-girlguides get kinky when they grow up.

True. Provoke anyone too far and they will get upset.

Pickled Possum said...

I love grocery shopping!
I re-arrange the cans on the shelf if I see them out of line.
*OCD anyone?*

sdock10 said...

Well, I am off to go give another little piece of myself to Satan.

If Mayo stops by, tell him I said he better tighten his ass up...

If SS stops by, tell him how much we all miss him.

I think a lot of people forget that he is human, and is just like everyone else, good and bad.

He said once in an interview that Leathermouth was for that angry, ugly side of him that he didn't like and wasn't proud of. But there has to be an outlet for that and I think that is his. We saw him break a guitar fret first on stage in Atlanta. (I think, or it might have been Charlotte) That little guy is strong!

He is incredibly sweet to fans and a warm and caring person. But J and I have said (half-jokingly) that if Frank ever truly snapped, the police would be involved.

Off for now, talk to you guys later!

Its all about the love!

Just a few pieces left, Entropy. Just a few, but I got lots of stuff in return....yeah, right.

No! Sdock....i did not get drunk last night!

I am so happy to come back and see so much love going around.....BIG!!! Smile!

I could not read all the post...but sounds so much better in here......i never lost faith in my friends here.

So! What's up?

elena said...

Hello sdock so sorry you had to go to Wal-Mart (the evil empire). Glad you made it back.

Hello everyone..

sdock10 said...

For you, My Dear Mayo


You always won, everytime you placed a bet
You're still damn good, no ones gotten to you yet
Everytime they were sure they had you caught
You were quicker than they thought
You'd just turn your back and walk
You always said, the cards would never do you wrong
The trick you said was never piay the game too long
A gamblers share, the only risk that you would take
The only loss you could forsake
The only bluff you couldnt fake

And you're still the same
I caught up with you yesterday
Moving game to game
No one standing in your way
Turning on the charm
Long enough to get you by
You're still the same
You still aim high

There you stood, everybody watched you play
I just turned and walked away
I had nothing left to say

cause you're still the same
You're still the same
Moving game to game
Some thlngs never change
You're still the same

Anonymous said...

The other day post was talking about who we are...and i had to go before i could post mine.

This is me.

I am, short only 5'4 and as skinny as a bean pole....no boobs...well compared to others on here....so nothing to brag about.

I'm calm, boring, have a temper, bad hair....most of the time i laugh when I'm sad...but only so other will not know I'm sad.
Some times people perceive me as cold, with a soul as cold as steel.

And only a few who i call friends knows I'm warm and fuzzy inside and the other is an act.

Some call me bitch.........and i get that a lot!
Some call me friend....lover....and some do not call at all.

All i can say about me is.....this is me....i am who i am....take it or leave it.... If you take it I'm a true friend for life....leave it and it is you who do not understand me....and you who will miss out on a true friend.

Life made me this way, I was once a sweet little girl.

Now do you see how truly insane i am?

sdock10 said...

pj,

You sound a lot like me well, except for the boobs part. I have enormoungous boobs, but I am also short. Shorter than you.

I get called cold hearted bitch a lot....but, that's only for people who don't really know me.

You were once a sweet little girl and I am still a lost little girl.

We could be like sisters...almost.

Anonymous said...

Thank you Sdock.....i knew you would understand me.
Sisters...i had no sisters only a brother..who i loved and passed away here not too long ago.
That was one reason i was away from here for so long.

Since then i have been a little crazy, and have not talked about it, this is my little escape.

Sisters! I am honored!

sdock10 said...

I'm so sorry about your brother. I wouldn't know what to do if something happened to Princess Smoke. I don't know if I could survive. You must be a very strong person.



No, I am the one who is honored to call you my sister.

We're always here to listen whenever you get ready to talk about it. That's what we are here for.

What ya reckon Mayo is doing today?

Mayo, What the hell are you doing today?

I'm making soup!! Soup on Sunday! It's going to be delish!!

Anonymous said...

Sdock, there is no way in this world or in any other that you're truly a bitch. Know that. ^_^

Well you guys, shortly I will be leaving to go and meet that good-looking guy I've been talking to. I HATE THIS. Why did I start dating again?

Anyway, because I'm as paranoid as you all think I am, I'm going to leave a trail in case he's a psycho killer. Some of you know where my MySpace is, it's not too hard to find. On my friends page, he's third row down on the right. If I get killed, that's the guy who did it. ;D

I'm going to meet him at Panera by the airport. AFAIK he doesn't know where I live. If I disappear, that's where I was headed.

I am truly that paranoid. But I'm the daughter of a cop at the sheriff's department, the niece of two NCY detectives. Also a big movie fan. So I can't help it.

Catch you guys later, huh?

Anonymous said...

Pj, wow,I am really, really sorry about your brother.

sdock10 said...

K,

I hope all goes well on your date. Tell me a time that we should start searching for your body if you don't show up here!!!

I would tell you not be paranoid or nervous, but fuck that is exactly the way I would feel so I can't tell you that.

I'm sure you will charm the socks off him or the pants or the shirt or whatever you want him to take off...if not, you are a trained killer so kick his ass.

So ummm...Good luck!

Anonymous said...

Again, Thank you Sdock!

It is too soon to talk about it.
And besides you know me...i would never bring the room down.

As for Mayo, I picture him somewhere at a desk....going threw a dictionary...on his fifth cup of coffee....trying to find something witty to say on his next post.

What do you think he is doing right now?

Thank you, Sdock. I begin that advanced tai chi training class tonight so I guess if I don't post after that, that's when you should look for the body! ;D

Heh, I don't deny that I can kill a full grown man with three fingers. Hell, anybody could if they thought quick enough.

But in truth I'm not actually afraid of being killed. More afraid of just being looked at. You know, meeting new people. I hate to meet people unless I already know them. ;D

P.S. Mayo, you might have noticed that your "body snatching" comment has stuck with me. What the hell? Whose "body" did you snatch? Are you the only one who writes this blog? Was that a Leathermouth reference? WHAT, goddamn you?

sdock10 said...

Drinking coffee, smoking cigarettes, somewhere warm...just lurking, watching, and waiting.

Or maybe he is somewhere asleep having nice cryptic dreams about the land of BlogBelieve and in his dream Kapunua is chasing him around with a sword and I am following behind trying to hand him my faithful heart.

Or...he's just chilling, having a relaxed Sunday with someone he loves.

My brother died 13 years ago. It is grim but it is true what they say...it becomes more bearable with time.

So, in the meantime, take good care of you and those who loved him.

anon,

I stopped reading the virus known as buzznet a few months ago. But I did just check out the link. Hell, anything is possible.

If it's true, good for the folks who believe and read.

Magic Pie said...

PJ, I must have missed out on that convo. So let me post about you to add to it all:

I'm 5'1", 120 pounds, short black hair with purple chunks in it. I have pretty big boobs for my frame.

I'm a big ball of weirdness and contradictions. I'm kind and sweet but if you piss me off, there's hell to pay. I'm ambitious but lazy. I'm very loyal and friendship means the world to me. I'm way too forgiving but there are a small handful of people that I will most likely always hold a grudge against.

I hated elementary and highschool because of shitty friends. Everyday I had to worry about what was going to happen and who would be talking about me behind my back.
Loved University because everyone there was equal.

I have a very strong personality and you either love me or hate me. I've been called every name in the book. I can be called a bitch one minute then a sweetheart the next. I have been called beautiful on the same day that I was called fat and ugly.

Always wanted to be a journalist but it's not going so well. Now I'm going to be a highschool teacher instead.

I love rock stars and find them incredibly sexy, yet I would never ever want to date one.

These days I find myself buried alive by depression. Not really bad but bad enough to make me dread waking up every morning that I have to go into work.

I feel like I have no direction and I wonder about what my life would have been like if I just made different choices 4 years ago.

I could honestly go on forever but it's best to leave some things a mystery. ;)

Magic Pie said...

Hahaha, that is totally not Gerard. The person made quite a few spelling errors and I think if Gee was going to write to his fans, he'd at least check his spelling.

Looks like someone's trying to get some kicks.

PJ and Eliza,
I am so sorry for your loss. I too lost my only brother - 18 years ago. He was in a fatal car accident. I still think of him and miss him -
everyday.....

Eliza is correct though PJ. Somehow, you do find the strength to go on, to live your life as you know he would want you. You do learn to live with the loss and eventually, let go of the 'it should have been me' survivors guilt....

Mikey was the only one around right at that moment. When I could actually speak, I asked him about Frank. "I missed him up there. Is he okay?" And Mikey replied "Yeah, he's fine. It's just... family stuff." "Oh no... It’s not his Grandad, is it?" "No..." He told me who it was, and after he did he put his finger to his lips and whispered "Shh." Oh don't worry Mikey, I won't tell people about Frank's personal life- It's our little secret ;)

The definition of sanity is very subjective. We were discussing dreams last night and as I remembered some of mine I even thought they were strange: Vikings running through my living room, the Virgin Mary speaking to me, dying in the trenches in Flanders (all this without the benefit of drugs).
I believe that as we work our way through adversity our subconsious takes over to help us out with "alternate realities".
Although I present as reasonably sane and rational to acquaintances my reality is very different. But I think I like it that way now.
