and you fail miserably

even if no one gets me, if i'm the only one laughing at my jokes, i won't hide myself away from life. it's uncertain and it's dirty and it's fucking exciting, and i want to be a part of all of it.
it's too good to waste in hiding.

heart full
Today on my way home from class, I stopped off at the petrol station for some petrol. I paid on my card which wasn’t a lot, and then as I was getting into my car, I saw an old man walking past the building. He had a red and green stripy jumper which was frayed at the ends. He was also wearing some jeans that were dirty and had holes all over.
I sat there and became intrigued by him because I didn’t know what he was doing, so as I sat there and watched him, he continued doing what he set out to do.
He walked past the trash cans and first picked out a cup with some drink still in it (one of the cups that you get from burger king that has coke in it). He then walked over to the next trash can and pulled out the end of a half eaten sandwich. In my shock horror, he ate it and then went to sit on the wall to drink the drink he had found.
I felt sad, I wanted to give him my last $4 that I had but I was told when I was younger that you should never give people money, you should give them something they need or can use because that way, if they had an addiction, they would not be able to use the money for their addiction. So I went into the shop and bought a chicken sandwich from their deli counter and then walked out of the building.
The guy was still sat at the wall drinking his drink so I walked up to him and asked him if he would like this sandwich. He thanked me and said that he was hungry.
I should of felt good after that, doing something for someone else but all I could think of is where his next meal will come from or where in fact he will sleep tonight.

Jennicula,
Thank you for sharing your story. Although it only appeared briefly, I was lucky enough to have caught it.
Once upon a time, for me, that was the best part of this place...having my words related back to me from another's perspective.
And it never mattered to me who said it, just that it meant something to the writer.

Don't let anyone tell you how to live your life. Hold your head up high and be proud of who you are. If you've had a shitty day and you feel like people just don't want you to be happy, and when you find yourself struggling to make it through the day, just keep on believing and keep the faith. Also, from personal experience, don't push people away. When they say they want to help and that they are there for you, let them in. Believe me, I know how fucking scary that thought is, but don't shut others out.

Sometimes, when you look back on stuff in your life, you know, the crap that makes you shake your head and say, "Holy shit, what the Hell was I thinking?" it's part of what makes you - you.
I'm not perfect by any stretch of the imagination. I have made small mistakes and really big, fucking scary mistakes. Would I change those mistakes and blunders?
No. Wanna know why?
Because they make me - me. They help make up the person that I am, what I've learned the hard way. Hopefully I've learned from my mistakes and have become a better person for it. And, hopefully I don't repeat those same mistakes. Although, sometimes I repeat variations of certain ones, but I'm working on that. :)

aloft
Blazing against the sun
like locusts,
samaras swarm the sky
and skitter to an earthly end,
dry
like clever words.
I want to make them fly up,
flip heaven upside down
and dance across the top of hell
and sing your thoughts
to the sound of thunder
that you love so well,
rip open the littered sky
and bathe in the light
or draw across the firmament
the blanket of the night.
In only a day they have
covered the ground,
their brief flight
yielding nothing permanent
on infertile land,
a fleeting moment of swarming glory
that calls to mind our own
short story:
Diamonds and petals,
the loom and the light,
the inkdark moon, foxfire marsh,
an open, waiting hand.
Clever winged seeds
of childhood reminiscent--
and like the idiot grown-up heart,
as stubbornly indehiscent.

Electric Blue
…today I saw a ulysses butterfly it was in our yard and settled to feed on our hibiscus. They really are fantastically beautiful things, the electric blue is amazing, however as they sit with their wings closed they are rather nondescript and dull. Sometimes people are like that, from the outside they seem unappealing but within there hides an amazing beauty for those lucky enough to see it. I hope you appreciate beauty in all things, and look for it perhaps where others miss it.

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL.
I read your post again and suddenly without warning memories of construction paper filled my head. I remembered all the lop-sided flowers my girls made when they were young. Bright blue, yellow and pink flowers that were cut out with blunt end scissors would fill the windows to decorate for Easter. An occasional bunny was attempted but those usually ended up looking like creatures from a horror movie. Flowers were so much easier. I can close my eyes and hear the paper being cut into petals. I can smell the Elmer’s glue squirted on in huge blobs to attach each misshapen petal to form the flowers. We had a huge arts and crafts box full of wonderful items just waiting for their imaginations to turn into something wonderful. In my mind I see my daughters, as they once were, small, blond little girls sitting on the floor surrounded by scraps of paper and other art supplies. They would create their masterpieces then proudly show each other. Oh and Lord the messes that would ensue if the glitter made an appearance. Now, the box is forgotten. I’m not really sure where it even is anymore. The few flowers so lovingly created that survived are faded and dusty and high on a shelf they sit. Time marches on, so many things get left behind.
Today was the first Easter I spent alone. I don’t think it really upset me until I remembered the construction paper flowers. Of course I understand that my daughters are growing up and have lives of their own. But understanding doesn’t make it any easier to accept. I miss my little girls in their frilly Easter dresses. I miss the laughter that filled the house when they found what the Easter Bunny left for them. And I miss making the damn flowers.

I wonder if you noticed
all our friends playing
Some had never tried before
and the result was amazing.
Poems from the corner
from the left and right
We did our best to keep them flowing
Late into this night.
If nothing else was accomplished
I hope we made someone see
How truly beautiful and amazing

On the news earlier, it said I was in for a LONG and COLD winter. Typical Winterpeg for ya! And we're supposed to get a Colorado Low somewhere South of here, which effects us as well!
*sighs then wraps self in a blanket*
hello op j how are you
Global Warming?
*Searches for Al Gore*
The holiday season?
*Check*
The difference a single soul can make in the world without trying?
Tell me where I can meet this person.
My eyes are tired, MJ, but ok despite that. And yourself?
J
Hey OPJ! *HUG*
haha you are freezing your ass off an dwe are hot and humid with a tropical storm in progress!
PH - We heard the same thing. The entire country is going to have the more brutal winter in a generation.
Okay, really going to bed now!
Goodnight EVERYONE!
-Amyranth is kicking herself off the computer now.
I'm good
"Tell me where I can meet this person."

1am brings out the motivational side of me.
Aloha kakou!
Guys, those poems I wrote the other night for the challenge, I put them up in this blog I'm posting under. If anyone wants to take theirs, feel free. They are yours.
Mayo, my riddle to you is this: In my last, switch when for that.
*sticks tongue out at Ergo*
You don't know how lucky you are right now!
That really is depressing Amy, but the truth.
SWEET DREAMS! *HUG*
MJ, good to hear you are good!
paperheart, I am doing well. Thanks for asking. hi there OP.
Anon @ 12:10 are you still here?
Mayo? Grid pic? Pretty please??
So what is you guys's least favorite holiday song? I've got a ton of ones that I hate. That "Christmas Shoes" one. It's so glurgey it makes me want to vomit. Did you ever, like, eat a bunch of cotton candy, drink a gallon ig Hi-C, throw it all up then eat it back down again? Yeah, like that.
That Wham! one grates on my goddamn nerves.
Another one that I hate is that stupidass "Comin' down the chimney down" one. Why the hell does he say "down? twice? First of all, just to end the sentence with a preopsition is ridiculous enough. The repetition is pointless, secondly. And third, how else would be be coming down the chimney? Would he be coming down the chimney up? I DOUBT IT. That song is pointless and retarded.
Like my posts tonight.
Look in the mirror and trust in yourself.
You think too highly of me, AIP. I'd like to change the world, but I'd be kidding myself.
Living is a group effort.
BC, I am glad you are well! *HUG*
Kapunua, I love your poems! =]
&& I can't say that I don't like any Christmas songs. They all make me smile.
Hugs back atcha, PH!
Hey BDS!
Which blog, K?
J
PH when I am sweating and wishing for a cool breeze I shall think of you!
Summer is predicited to be a scorcher
Ergo, when I am freezing and wanting to warm up, you will be on my mind!
But, when summer comes, and I am very warm, and it's winter for you, I will laugh my ass off. (unless it doesn't get too cold, then I'll stick my tongue out at you!)
^_^
Grid pic?...

Still here
So what is you guys's least favorite holiday song?
Anything by the Kelly Family.
Kapunua I used to work in retail and by Christmas day i hated all of them!!!!
I do love the hymns though.
My most detested Christmas song ever:
"Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer"
That whiny-ass voice on the "singer" makes my flesh crawl.
Everything else is pretty good. I like Dean Martin singing Christmas carols. Just something about him, he was super cool. Yeah.

Bonjour anon from 12:10.
Anon 12:10, chapter is up.
Kapu i love the wham song. christmas songs i hate anything done by a boy band or a pop tart
Rating: R for sexual themes and language. Under 17 not permitted without parent.
THANKS BC! *sticks out tongue*
Permission?
Let's not and say we did, shall we? =]
PH we do get pretty cold.No snow but we get frost and below 0 degC (not sure of Farenhieght)
resurrected wreck, i'm with you. i want to see what the pic was behind the grid so bad.
or, y'know, mayo, give us a knock on the head for wasting so much on a puzzle picture that isn't a puzzle picture.
What I hate more than Christmas songs christmas specials.
Kapunua!
We were talking about the "coming down the chimney down" song in work today. It is ridiculous. Didn't anyone listen to the freakin lyrics?
Christmas Shoes makes me gag too.
Have you ever heard Mary Did You Know? It's horrific. It's supposed to be super serious. One line says something like "Mary did you know, the baby boy you delivered would soon deliver you."
Do They Know It's Christmas is pretty horrendous too, even though its purpose was good.
And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmastime.
Here's to them
raise a glass for everyone
here's to them underneath that burning sun.
:O Ergo, right now it is probably -25C! BRRRRR..
TJ, I do too!
Thank you, PH! OPs, this blog here, the one I'm signed in on. I can't link to beloved LJ anymore so I decided to put this one to better use.
You know what holiday songs I do love? John Lennon's one, Snoopy and the Red Baron (the first one, not the second one,) Carol of the Bells, O Holy Night, LIttle Drummer Boy.
I also hate Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer. Most pointless holiday song ever.
i hate anything done by a boy band or a pop tart
yes.
but my favorite one is by this military band, the name just left my head, they're like welsh or canadian or something...
*facepalm*
resurrected wreck, i'm with you. i want to see what the pic was behind the grid so bad.
or, y'know, mayo, give us a knock on the head for wasting so much on a puzzle picture that isn't a puzzle picture.
Indeed. I still find myself staring at it. I'm starting to go cross-eyed!
Mayo, do you like it that we're going out of our minds trying to solve your clever puzzle-that-may-in-fact-not-be-a-puzzle pic??
FUCK YEAH YOU DO!!
*ahem*
Sorry... :/
the cories!!!!!
that's them! XD
it's such a cheerful song.
Star, "Do They KNow It's Christmas" pisses me off. OF COURSE THEY DON'T KNOW IT'S CHRISTMAS. THEY ARE NOT CHRISTIANS. Why the hell not send them help any other time of the year? Oh, no, only try to help when it's Christmas time. Why should it have to be about mainworld, American culture? That song is so naive in its presumptuousness. Can you imagine it being released today? It would die a short, horrible death.
Incidentally I doubt Mayo's on. Mayo, so you caught a quick wave and you thought of us? Hmm.
...but it has simon in it.
A quick wave of what is what I'd wonder.
Incidentally I doubt Mayo's on.
Foiled again :/
*sigh*
...but it has simon in it.
The Simon? Of the Le Bon variety?
:)
Kapunua, yeah, it's totally crass and offensive.
My favorite part of the "coming down the chimney down" song is the part where he sings, "and don't forget to hang up your sock"
Who has ever said Christmas Sock?
Nobody.
Hell in the video they have John wearing a DD shirt. Kapu they did release the song again it sounded like shit. It was done by a whole new group of people. Its not a Christmas song but I hate we are the world
My favorite part is "So whoopty doo!" Because that's not something I've ever heard anyone say with anything but irony.
Oh yes, RW! Simon is in it. But even that could make it palatable for me.
...but it has simon in it.
well obviously his bit is ok.
my favourite is "all I want for chrstmas is you" any version, it's such a catchy song!
paperheart, I added that there to make it more humorous. I was giggling myself :D
damn straight, resurrected wreck! i always listen for his voice in it. *heehee*
and um, not to be too nit-picky, but i really doubt the song was an example of "mainworld, American culture", since it was conceived by and consisted of u.k. performers.
just sayin.
I hate that "here comes santa clause here comes santa clause right down santa caus lane"
I don't even know it's name
Oh yes, RW! Simon is in it. But even that could make it palatable for me.
I actually don't mind that song. It's not a fave, but compared to a lot of the other holiday pap *coughChristmasShoescough* it's pretty palatable, at least to me.
Haha, BC, that really is quite hilarious!!
Wow. I can't even tell you how much I have laughed! I kept asking myself if it was real or not!
Ergoproxy, i believe it's called "Here Comes Santa Claus".
All I Want For Christmas Is You is a great Christmas song!
That version with the guy singing it is hot. He's got a great voice.
and um, not to be too nit-picky, but i really doubt the song was an example of "mainworld, American culture", since it was conceived by and consisted of u.k. performers.
Until it was hijacked by "We Are The World". Then everyone forgot it existed, or at least that it came first.
Thoroughly enjoyed, thank you.

Hello Mayo, Ergo, BC, TJ, RW, MIB, PaperHeartxx, MJ, Kapunua, Star, Original Punks, anonymous(es) and lurkers!
How is everyone tonight? Me, I'm TIRED. Still have a cold too. Don't worry BC, I shan't blame you!
Star and K: Ya'll don't like The Christmas Shoes *gasps*
I think that is such a beautiful Christmas song......
about self sacrifice, love, remembering the true meaning of Christmas.....
I LOVE THAT SONG!
Here are those lyrics for ya'll:
The Christmas Shoes
It was almost Christmas time, there I stood in another line
Tryin' to buy that last gift or two, not really in the Christmas mood
Standing right in front of me was a little boy waiting anxiously
Pacing 'round like little boys do
And in his hands he held a pair of shoes
His clothes were worn and old, he was dirty from head to toe
And when it came his time to pay
I couldn't believe what I heard him say
[Chorus:]
Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
He counted pennies for what seemed like years
Then the cashier said, "Son, there's not enough here"
He searched his pockets frantically
Then he turned and he looked at me
He said Mama made Christmas good at our house Though most years she just did without
Tell me Sir, what am I going to do,
Somehow I've got to buy her these Christmas shoes
So I laid the money down, I just had to help him out
I'll never forget the look on his face when he said
Mama's gonna look so great
Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
I knew I'd caught a glimpse of heaven's love
As he thanked me and ran out
I knew that God had sent that little boy
To remind me just what Christmas is all about
*going to cry now* Darn hormones!
I must be going crazy because I keep thinking I'm seeing Shannon Leto in that Street Drum Corps / Bert McCracken cover. O_O It's late, my eyes are all messed up.
...consisted of u.k. performers.
actually I love seeing the clip now and picking the ones that were one hit wonders
anyone see Midge Ure and (damn forgot name)on Masterchef Goes Large? (UK cooking show)
Hi 616! :) Welcome to the party!
anyone see Midge Ure and (damn forgot name)on Masterchef Goes Large? (UK cooking show)
And Marilyn.
hey anon616 glad to catch you today!
RW it probably is called that.
how about "all i want for xmas is my 2 front teeth"
I LOVE THAT SONG!
Here are those lyrics for ya'll:
Oh gods, 616, you did not just go there! 0_0
All I Want For Christmas Is You is a great Christmas song!
That version with the guy singing it is hot. He's got a great voice.
I agree with you, completely.
HEY ANON616!
How are you tonight? I am freezing my fingers off!
how about "all i want for xmas is my 2 front teeth"
As sung by the Kelly Family... *shivers*

Oh my god, I can't take glurgey things like that. Anything--songs, movies, cards, commercials--that try to hijack your emotions and that go out of their way to unsubtly tug at your heart-strings gets a kick in the crotch. That song is a tuneless self-pat-on-the-back, the kind of "I'll give you the shirt off my back and hold a press conference" mentality that I hate.
With me, I have this thing where the more an "artist" goes out of his or her way to hijack my emotions--to emote, to force the feeling--the less it actually happens. Consequently, the more I have to make fun of it.
A lot of authors do that in stories and it makes me put the book down. Movies, too. I hate that kind of obvious manipulation.
RW you saw it! who was the other guy - Paul someone
was marilyn on it? how did I miss that? (or it hasn't aired here yet)
I love that show
It's also puerile, stilted in its narration and relies on cliches and button-words to get its message across.
Hi anon 616. I had never heard the shoe song before and you want to know what I hate it. Oh God that song sucks
I read your poems, K, and tried to post a comment, and then realized I had to put in a code, and said "Fuck it" so I just came back here instead.
Very nice. I love the Egyptian one you wrote for Miss T. It was beautiful. :)
Of course, the one for Franky was great, too.
But, I did like them all. One day I shall be able to say, "I knew her when..."

RW you saw it! who was the other guy - Paul someone

No, I meant that Marilyn was in the music video. I haven't even heard of that TV show!
Yet on the other hand, any song about some kid pimping his dying mom out to Jesus, well I guess that is kind of funny.
El oh el.
I hate anything sung by a comercially "cute" little kid.
I hate cutesy poo kiddies on tv
J., a code, what the hell? Lemme go check that crap.
Hi ya Paperheartxx- put some gloves on, girl!
Ergo: I was thoroughly enjoying your TALES OF M&M: The Adventures of Martha and Mayo ;-)
and YES, RW -- I went there; to the land of The Christmas Shoes (and I need more kleenex!)
Am I going to get a spanking now?
;-)
Your welcome Anon 12:10.
Hi there anon616, how are you?
Anon616, too far away!
Until it was hijacked by "We Are The World". Then everyone forgot it existed, or at least that it came first.
and don't think i didn'thave lots of teenage fumes about that! ugh.
oh, but -- marilyn. gods, i loved his style. *sigh*
and...um, i don't mind being occasionally manipulated. it ain't so bad.
and YES, RW -- I went there; to the land of The Christmas Shoes (and I need more kleenex!)

Hey you guys. When Mayo started this blog, he used the European time stamp, with the month before the day. Someone said that it was because Blogger defaults to European time stamps. It doesn't. What do you make of that?
Guys, I fixed the commenting on my blog; sorry about that.
Whoops...
Hello RW, EP, Six, TJ, and all you other ladies. Didn't mean to ignore anyone. Just trying to stay awake. :)
Too much spanking, I guess.
J
Mayo's a Brit?
That, or not the brightest crayon in the box and got confused on which came first.
Sorry Mayo dude. I'm in a bad mood tonight. :)

Interesting. When exactly did Mayo start his blog?
oh gotcha RW
yes there are so many people in it who were popular for a few weeks in the 80's
oh i have visions of Marilyn in that gold pants and top set from his film clip
I kind of am too, Mustard.
Mayo, answer this question if you don't mind: Are you European?
Hello Original Punks! :)
oh i have visions of Marilyn in that gold pants and top set from his film clip
0_0 Goodness, how did I miss that??
When?
Late August, was it not?
Like August 29th?
What do you make of that?
he might have just liked the look of it. i went through a whole phase like that in high school (and college...um.)
*shrugs*
Too much spanking, I guess.
No such thing, J. No such thing. ;)
Damn.
That was the last date of PR.
Wrong big event /sarcasm.
September 3rd was the first blog.

I dunno but I remember that. Actually I do know: it was in direct response to Love Man's claim that Gerard Way stuffed his pants, and the first post was a kind of huffy, "TCH! No." But the date was the European style for the first month, prompting some comments about Mayo being European or something and then someone said that Blogger defaults to the European way. It doesn't. Mayo changed it soon afterwards.
that's ok J i got lost while I was posting the Mayo & Away - glad you liked it 616 (hey do you know if you hit shift 616 is ^!^ -heehee)
So many people come and go it's hard to keep up!
WOW! K and MarthaJones......
Did ya'll know that The Christmas Shoes is actually based on the true story of a little boy whose mother was dying of cancer?
He really did work hard all year and saved his pennies just to buy his mother those shoes. A pair just like the ones she once wore to dance with his dad.
Oh well.....to each his/her own, right! Haha, I also love Cradle of Filth's music!!
September 3rd was the first blog.
The day before "The Wedding".
*shivers again*
True, RW, true.
I tried to invite SS into the spanking action, but he must have been otherwise detained b/c he never showed.
I even called him "big boy". Now if THAT'S not an invitation I don't know what is.
Maybe he'll show up for my party.
With his whip. ;)
YOWZAH!
J
In two days, it'll be our three month anniversary Mayo.
From all of us to you, it's been a helluva long three months.
You survived it thus far.
Keep treading water or hold onto the livesaver.
We'll stick it out as long as necessary.
J, I can't imagine anyone declining an invitation like that!
In two days, it'll be our three month anniversary Mayo.
You actually are right MIB. It never hit me how long this blog has been up.
I feel sorry for the little boy but I still hate the song. Did any of the money from the song go to the little boy?
Too much spanking, I guess.
J
==========
Hey, it looks like OP J got MY spanking.....SHUCKS
Or, were you the one GIVING the spanking J? Hmmm....
Either way, I'm jealous! ;-)
And just for a quick tip on Southern slang:
The "correct" spelling of the word is "y'all", not "ya'll". This glorious word is a contraction of "you" and "all".
Thus endeth my Pompous Grammatical Correction Comment for the evening. Please carry on.
Thank you.

===================
The song was written after the little boy had grown into a man.
But, the manager of the store; after reading the boy's story in the newspaper DID pay for the mother's funeral.....
What do you guys make of the "50/50 split" of september 5th? At first I thought it had to do with ownership of this blog. Then for a while I thought it had to do with ownership of everything, you know, 'cause. Now I'm not sure what it means.
Who are the "proper authorities?"
Early on, Mayo also mentions interstates in "this vast nation."
I'm going to bed. Night, guys.
boy time flies when you are having fun!!
3 momths - goodness
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gn8rFFrJAwg
Thank you, EP! Er... I think... :S
Yeah, RW, that's why I figure he was busy doing something else.
SS, baby, I forgive you this time. Just don't be late Sunday PM.
Six, I was both giving AND receiving, courtesy of the lovely SDock10. DM got a little kinky earlier. Too bad you missed out.
I can spank you now if you like. Yais?
J
'Night K!
Sweet dreams K!
*tucks Kapunua into bed*
*sits back in chair and continues the lurking*
=]
Oh come on, worst line in a Christmas song ever "Tonight, thank God it's them instead of you." oh puh-leeeze.
I hate the song even more now. Some person id profiting off someone else tragic event.
I don't know where you come from J; but, here is Louzianna it's always been spelled YA'LL.
Part of the first word YOU + the first letter of the second word ALL
You know, like didn't and wouldn't and such......
Perhaps spelling of Southern is different, depending on just how far south you are ;-)
And Kapunua since I love you and kiss you and obviously adore you above all others *sarcasm, but not in a bad way* how was your visit tonight?
OOOOO!! You're in Louisiana, 616??
No, it's totally Y'all as in a contraction of You and all.
night k and hello carrie
Goodnight K, pleasant dreams.
Actually, I think I'm going to bed too. It's 2.15 am here, and past my curfew.
As Mikey said in LOTMS, "It's late, and I'm tired."
Night to everyone, and we'll see you back here tomorrow.
Night Mayo and SS, hope you can sleep tonight after all the naughty talk next door. ;)
peace/love/happiness/hope/faith

Hello Carrie! How are you tonight?
I'll take a rain check on that spanking J. I'm already sore tonight ;-)
Night, OPs! Night, Mikey! ;)
I'm going to head'er too.
Night, everyone :)
Night op j and night to all I'm off to dream land
And a good night to you too, Mayo. Thanks again for the new post!
Take it easy, dude!
Born and raised here RW! And, nearly blown off the map ;-)
Night Rw
Six,
You're outnumbered two to one.
I'm in Tennessee, we've always spelled it "y'all".
Where are you? And Carrie, where are you?
J
Hey mj and anon 616, did I miss anything exciting tonight? I was watching Spiderman 3, it was pretty good.
Night all leaving, hello all coming!
*HUG*
Born and raised here RW! And, nearly blown off the map ;-)
Are you in/near New Orleans? I've been to that city 5 times. Love the place!
Goodnight to K and OP J! Sweet dreams ladies!
We're dropping like flies. I'm outta here as well, but I'll leave you with this:
Who or what has been your biggest source of inspiration?
Goodnight and thank you all for everything.
Mayo? Visit next time?
Night MJ! Night PH! :)
Op, I'm currently in Bay City, MI, but I grew up in Fieldale, VA a little town just about on the border of NC.
Hi carrie
here it is either y'all (you + all)
or ya'll (ya + all) but it's not a really common term.
but honestly we do not say "cobber" or "throw shrimp on barbies" because they are prawns anyway
we do though say "gidday or G'day" depending on your spelling
RW, my niece is in New Orleans going to law school. She loves it too!
Six, I just saw you're in LA. Sorry about missing it. :)
Just tell me when you want that spanking, we'll arrange something.

Near enough to enjoy it; but, far enough to feel safe when I come home at night/in the morning ;-)
I'm only about 35 miles away from New Orleans. May I commend you on your taste in cities, RW!! LOL
Carrie, I was born in MI, a little town called Mt. Clemens! At the time it was mostly an Air Force base.
Wow, connections everywhere, hunh?
Now I REALLY am going to bed.
Night all!
love to you

night Op K and Rw Mib
sweet dreams
MIB, good question, I can't think of an answer though!
- PH, still here and lurking.
Hey ergo, I am totally guilty of yelling throw another shrimp on the barbie when I am trying (badly) to imitate an Austalian accent. I blame it on all those damn Paul Hogan shows.
RW, my niece is in New Orleans going to law school. She loves it too!
Is she at Loyola or Tulane? Or another school?
lol carrie next time make it prawn and just say gidday a lot.
I blame paul Hogan for a lot ( and Steve Irwin) thought he line "you call that a knife? this is a knife" from Croc Dundee is a good one
oh you know the pub in croc dundee? been there and the billabong where his chick gets her water bottle grabbed by the croc? i've swum there ( there are no saltwater crocs in it BTW ) it' a gorgeous spot
Just tell me when you want that spanking, we'll arrange something.
J
=========
Will do J! Next week is looking good for me ;-)
LOL,and we can settle the proper spelling of Ya'll over an old fashioned shot war. Last woman standing wins!
Might I suggest 'juice of cherry bombs' shots or Handgrenades
*evil laugh*
Ergo and RW (and anyone else who wants to) can join the war too, just for the heck of it!
I'm only about 35 miles away from New Orleans. May I commend you on your taste in cities, RW!! LOL
Why, thank you, 616 ;)
I rarely have had a better time than the days I've spent in New Orleans playing vampire at Halloween. Ah, those were the days!
Ok guys, gotta go to bed, it's the middle of the night here! Maybe I will get lucky tomorrow and my hubby's friend will come over and distract him with video games so I can while away my hours here. ove you guys! Good night!
Ergo and RW (and anyone else who wants to) can join the war too, just for the heck of it!
I have no idea how it's spelled, so I'll just sit on the fence and egg both sides on ;)
Love, not ove!
Night, Carrie! Night, EP! I'm heading to bed for real this time!
Til tomorrow...
I am off to bed as well. See you all in the morning!
Sweet dreams to you all, or have a good day, or enjoy your evening, or whatever! =]
xoxo

Good night Carrie! Sweet dreams to you too!
RW: You can come play vampire in New Orleans ANYTIME. It's not just a Halloween thing in NOLA ;-)
What the heck is a 'cobber' Ergo???
Hey everyone. 1:37 A.M. over here and I had to do a few chores. Heh.
616 it's an aussie term for friend.
I think it's sort of ryming slang. we have a lot of slang terms.
And the futher west you go the stronger the accent gets and the slower they speak, and you add "ay" to the end of a sentence (pronounced a-e with a flat "a" not eye or eh)
http://www.koalanet.com.au/australian-slang.html
nice site for slang terms
There you are BC! I was wondering where you went.....
How's life treating you these days?
*mustardisbetter said...
Who or what has been your biggest source of inspiration?*
The biggest source of inspiration in my life is my family, MIB
My biggest regret in life is not spending more time with my brother.
We always think there will be enough time to do all the things we want to do.....
There rarely is. So, say what you have to say/want to say NOW - do what you want to do now. Tomorrow may never come for some.
616 verey very true
Thanks for the info Ergo!
Ankle biter = Small Child in Aussie!
Here, ankle biter = small, vicious dog ;-)
Hey there Anon616 how are you? I'm doing good, just feeling a bit frisky today. Ergo understands he he ^__^
I'm glad you're feeling frisky, BC!!! I would ask for more details but I'm exhausted. You can tell me all the juicey details tomorrow, if ya don't mind ;-)
Good night Ergo, BC, anyone else still around.
Love & Hugs to all!
#6 or SIX
I sure won't lol. Good night and sweet dreams Anon616 *hugs*
I personally like brown mullet (I think they have brown bondi mullet)
night 616 I have to go to BC, time for showers and dinner, catch you tomorrow sometime, look forward to chapter 4 !!
sweet dreams all, and mayo and any lurking people or anons

Cheers everyone!
Take care Ergo. Right now I am working on chapter 4 ;)
BC posted a comment 4 u

Take care Ergo!
Goodnight everyone
goodnight mayo
thanks mayo!!
hi anyone!
i'm tired, its 8.35am but thank god it is saturday!! have a fab day all!
night BC. seems weird you going to bed and me getting up??
sleep well.
Hi faraway. It seems you may be the only one here :)
Hi just jumped on after dinner before my shower.
hi faraway I don't catch you often.
so i took the opportunity to say hi.
i have eaten too much but it was so nice - bbq t-bone (from one of our steers) potato and sweet potato gratin and a mix of bacon, and from our garden -shallots, tomato,beans and silverbeet.
hello, mayo. :)
i feel almost like a thief, sneaking in here in the middle of the night all the time!
*curls up on the couch with an old flannel patchwork quilt, because it's cold*
you know, i've been thinking about this blog a lot lately, and thinking about you, and wondering why you keep it going, and wondering why i keep coming here.
i don't understand any of it.
i remember i came here initially because i was concerned about gerard way, but the frantic quality that i saw in him throughout the prorev tour isn't evident anymore. i feel pretty good about him these days, in fact.
somewhere along the way, i've become a part of this blog, become entwined with the people here, people i don't know, and yet know. and you're one of them.
i don't know what you're like in your own life, but i've come to like who you are here, very much. i look forward to your posts, to reading another fragment of your view of the world, and now that you're showing up in the comments thread as well, it's even better! i might even ask a question some day that you'll actually answer! (hey, everyone needs a goal in life. *grin*)
i wonder about how this is going to end. i feel confident that some of us will stay in touch, that the beginnings of some true friendships will spring from this. but what about you? how have we affected you, mayo? will you carry us in your memories when this place is done?
and when the time does come for this blog to end -- for surely it must, eventually, mustn't it? -- will you end it well? will you say good-bye to us in such a way that no-one can walk away from this blog doubting that we meant something here, that this was something special, to everyone involved?
i don't doubt that these things aren't true, just so you know. i trust what you write and what i hear in your words. i just wonder, that's all. i just hope for a good outcome.
because i think this place has become much more important to me, and my survival, than i ever thought possible.
i think we are all blessed by this place, even when it implodes. ^.^
i must go to bed.
take care, mayo. sweet dreams to you when you go to yours.
sweet dreams TJ
i agree with your sentiments, thank you for posting it
ah, you're very welcome, ergo. even though it was a remarkably long-winded comment. *ahem*
happy digesting of that lovely meal you described, and a good night's rest to you. ^.^
Good morning All.
Mayo, i hope that post was in reference to the anon, the bad one.
As for me, i am, who i am, shit in my life is so fucked up, i do not have to make shit up or pretend to be some one else, the truth is real, and so much better than a made up life.
Walk one day in my life Mayo, and you will think your life is full of happiness and sunshine.
Look in a mirror, and do not judge what you see, cause mirrors lie, the most beautiful women can see a hag, the skinniest a fat person, a vain person a saint.
You can pretend all you want to a mirror, but you are the only one that believes who you see.
It's When you can look in that mirror and only see the real you.
you will have found yourself, your true self and only then will you know who you are.
So grab a mirror Mayo, and take a good hard look.
who do you see? Is it real or is it a fake reflexion.
You decide!
Sorry i can not stay, but i hope all of you have a fun day and full of smiles.
Hugs to all.
And you Mayo!
PJ
Mayo,
Good _________(insert time of day where you are), how are you? Me? I'm fine considering the fact I'm up so early on a Saturday. I just could not sleep last night...all jittery and restless. And I get up this morning and I figure out why that is.....I forgot to take my sleep meds. My mind must've been on something else last night like totally. Nothing extremely dirty or freakish though...Fuck it, yes it was.
Or at least I wanted it to be.
Now on to the message at hand, thanks for posting. I was beginning to have Mayonaise withdrawl symptoms. Not pretty. As a matter of fact, that's probably why I had trouble sleeping. It was the DT's. Because I'm hooked on this place, you, and these people like that...
I don't know what's up with all the fakers, the haters, the party crashers, the vultures. It's just like in real life I suppose. Someone sees people having a good time and enjoying themselves and they have to try and ruin it. It takes a lot more than that to get to us these days. Although, it's very annoying.
I feel like I should just babble to you because I feel like I haven't done it in sooooo long....or at least a couple days, right? Damn, now I am coming up empty. Pressure....pressure. No, I have something. Last night when I got home from work all wound up, with no release, feeling like I was about to lose it....I found it again. My sanity, my grounding force, my life support...I plugged it in and turned it up and I listened. I listened to it the way you are supposed to listen. I let it flow through my entire body like blood and the transformation and transfusion began. I sang, I screamed, I flailed around, I danced....and I felt alive once again. Music is essential to my survival. I have always thought, but now I am sure. Feel me?
May today be so much more than you thought it could be for you and someone else.
Love to YOU Always,
S
p.s. enjoying my chaotic mind
Thanks for clearing that up Mayo. We knew that imposter wasn't really you.We know your voice by now but it was still nice of you to let us know it wasn't you.
Just a quick spark and pop!
I drop in.
I read.
I laugh.
I leave.
But for everyone who knows me.
I am not pasted away, yet!
My thoughts are with you.
A Friend.
Mayo is very lucky to have so many friends.
Some have no support network.
m
Anon,
I knew you had not pasted away and I hope I sometimes make you smile.
m,
I don't think Mayo is the only lucky one here. This place is truly magical.
I'm off to brave the wicked world of Wal-Mart now....errr.
Love,
S
Good morning Mayo.
Thank you for the new post. My ancient hunk of junk pc is behaving much more spritely now. It could almost cartwheel.
Mayo said:
Fake away the day
and you fail miserably
who you wish to be
True, regardless of the reason for the faking.
SD10,
I always seem to make it here in time for your weekly torture session at Walmart. I will have cold compresses and a soft chair ready for your return from hell...although after DM earlier today you may not be entitled to leave said hell.
Spark and Pop Anon,
You're sounding like a high energy breakfast cereal today and having a good day by the sounds of it.
Our thoughts are with you too,always.
m,
Hi m. We don't often pass by each other.
Sometimes I think mayo may have received more back than he expected when he started this blog.
He does have many friends here. Sometimes I think he would enjoy himself more here if he could drop his guard and interact more with them rather then the being the mystery that is mayo.
Unless, of course, he has been flying under the radar already.
*thinking back to DM and evaluating whether it is worth waiting for socky with compresses*
Hello Mayo
Glad you caught a wave and thought of us.
Thank you for the new post. I've missed my friends who couldn't comment.
We're all tangled in tales. Life is one big tangled story. I hope you find your happy ending.
Ah, my dear Mayo.
Good to 'see' you, hope all is well!
'Caught a wave' Never imagined you as a surfer, guess that's not what you mean though.
Are you or have you been caught up in an exhilarating high, is that it?
Waves come crashing crashing down though don't they, sweetie. Then you've come off your board and are treading water again!
It's generally pretty dangerous on the board....always sharks that want a piece of you!
'Fake away the day
and you fail miserably
who you wish to be'
Very true. Is this what the voices have been telling you; have you been reflecting?
You don't need to pretend to be someone else; be yourself, the best you can be. Love and accept yourself for who you are and you will become that person you wish to be and be loved for it.
Yeah, if only I could follow that advice....I'm trying to Mayo, really I am.
Or are you just talking about those faking being you? Does catching a wave just mean chillin'?
Shit, just when I think I'm starting to get the cryptic thing!
Off the grid....under the radar and all tangled in tales.
Are you keeping a low profile? Still reflecting and sorting, cleaning out your closet?
The comma; not tales of love then?
Take care of yourself, Mayo.
Keep safe, be happy!
Much love to you.
I have to admit, I'm confused by Mayo's apparent difficulty in getting online lately.
Hi all who are here!
I'm back from Wally World!
Not too bad, I bought some vintage Taking Back Sunday and American Psycho DVD...because I'm crazy like that.
What's new in BlogBelieve?
How is everyone that I've missed so so much?
It feels good to back home in Mayo's house. In my favorite, dark corner.....smells so good.
Good morning elena, dei gratia and anon.
anon,
Maybe the difficulty getting online is all part of the faking. Truth is, if mayo were really here in any of the major southern hemisphere's cities, access to the internet is very easy.
Night all.
Goodnight PP sorry I miss you.
sdock - Glad you made it back from the Evil Empire known as Wally World.
So describe the smell of your little corner of Mayo's house.
Sdock!
I nearly missed you in your little dark corner.
Glad to see you made it out of hell.
*hands over cold compress*
Phew, it's a bit whiffy in your corner, socky.
*sidles out unobtrusively for fresh air*
'night.
elena,
Hmmm, it smells like ...how can I describe it...like me, like you, like him, like her, like it, like smoke, like coffee, like perfume, like candles burning, like sweat, like ink, like paper...
something like that...
pp,
I owe you an asskicking or asswhupping...I hope you are prepared next time I see you.
*warms up by giving the paddle a few swings*
dsock - excellent discription. I would add books. I know you said paper but I'm thinking of that wonderful smell only books have. God, I spend way too much time among the stacks. LOL
Gotta take off for the book store now. I'll pop in later.
Thanks for being here my friends.
Am I already alone in here? Uh-oh...not good. Ask missT what happens when I am left alone in my dark corner...I get out of fucking control. I am liable to rearrange the whole house. You guys won't mind if I blast up my new/old Taking Back Sunday would you? It has to totally be played loud. No, I don't have an ipod or headphones. I playing this shit old school...out of the stereo! Now, that's better.
I think while I am listening to my music I will clean up a bit....maybe sweep up some metaphors that are lying and laying around this place. Don't worry little metaphors I won't toss you away. I will put you back on the shelves where you belong.
guys quick go look at SS page!!!! it says 2nd dec but it is the 2nd dec in australia!!! oh god i'm all excited. go look now! what a sweetie. if this is old news tell me to shut the fuck up ok!!
Just came back from the Melbourne Australia, MCR gig.
I am now certain there is still tension in the band. They sounded fine, and Gerard's voice was lovely, however there was no interaction between band members, not even a smile.
Frank (what a beautiful guy) rocked with his guitar, but barely looked at Gerard. Gerard, well, his body language said it all. He was there to just his job, he did not appear relaxed, or happy at all.
He commenced the usual intro into Prison by telling us to all go fuck ourselves, but he added it was because everyone else had always told him to fuck himself. The end of the song was interesting too, instead of the usual ahh, at he end it was fuck, fuck, fuck etc. As I said earlier, he appeared pissed off.
This is not the band I saw at Big Day Out. Even having Mikey present has not changed group dynamics. Something is very wrong.
anon i'm sorry to hear your gig wasn't how you wanted it. i know they still rock whatever but it must be horrid to have a bad vibe going. i hope it all gets sorted out after their break.
SS has left a quiz for J's bd! i love him/her whatever. but SS if you are lurking, its me here, i am officially as crap at quizzes as i am at latin translations!! i don't know where to start with it?? i thought it might be letters of the alphabet but its not!! anyone there who can help???
no one is here!!
i'm all excited by myself unable to work the quiz out cos i'm stupid!!
J will be so fucking happy though.
i'm sat here giggling to myself like a loon!!
