Reflection.
I battle with my image. It is difficult to see myself in the context of life. To see myself as others do, with a watchful eye. I am often too busy living to be constantly aware...aware of my actions and my thoughts as they occur, to be always on. That is a poor excuse, and so I will continue learning.
There amongst the rubble, the rubbish, the reality, and the reverie…is a life lived. I have opened it up for my inspection, my dissection. My life spilled open before me, I am able to pick it apart. What is worth keeping and what shall be cast aside? Some of it will be misplaced or forgotten without intent. Some will be thrown full force out the fucking window.
The entirety of it, my life, has been examined, admired, and accepted as a lesson in time…without regret. But still I ask myself, how can I be a better person?
Considering the past, I must live forward.
I will continue to challenge myself to sustain thoughtfulness. I will attempt to close each day with a question…was I good?
I will allow the answer to that question to lead me forward. Daily, I will take the hand of my mistakes and my misgivings and allow them to guide me to craft a life. My triumphs and successes enhanced by greater insight. I do not want to come to the close of another year bombarded with resolution.
I will also try to keep fear at bay. I will pause, even if it is just for a moment, to reflect. I intend to live, and live well. Each day I will do my best to be good.
My lovelies, I wish each of you the best of life in the new year. I hope that you are all happy and healthy, and that you find joy in each day. I hope you live, and live well.
Apparition?...please.
p.s. my clichéd resolve will be found in the calm exhale of purity.

What will BlogBelieve be like this new year?
Astro zombies
Kapu can you just shut the fuck up, go away with your stupid games.... NO ONE CARES.
No anon you shut the fuck up and go away. No one is forcing anyone to play the game. If you don't like it don't play but you don't need to attack a person.
Anon, if you don't like her, why are you here? You can just leave you know.
mayo, beautiful.
you are one of the most beautiful people i know. thank you for sharing so much of yourself with us. i will never forget this year.
i was over at my lj, wrapping up the year with one of those huge retrospective memes. the last question was about which song expresses the sum of the year the best for you, and i chose flw.
which started playing on the radio the moment i clicked to post a comment.
and is playing now.
happy new year, everyone.
Okay I just stopped back in to tell all of you I love you bunches.
Mayo that includes you, dude.
ANON - Don't make me use my lightsaber on you. Go the fuck away if you can't be nice. You're messing with one of my family.
Does Mayo really like us?
The Ballad of Sal Villanueva. O_o
Elena... :D
*flashes you pearly whites*
*then smiles*
A little late on this, but:
Hi PP and Amyranth! I saw Smoke earlier, but she seems to have left.
I'm just kind of hanging out over here, keeping an eye on Party Sheep and Shaunette.
Party Sheep, you'd best behave now. Shaunette is our delicate flower, she may not be used to smooth operators like you.
J
Hi there Squeak Squeak. Happy new year *big hugs*
I luvs you too Elena
And most everyone here of course. :)
Mayo, I love you too.
Baaaa baaaa baaa baaaa baaaaaaa baa
Translation:
Smooth operator? *looks hurt*
I don't know what you mean, I assure you my intentions are honorable. My, you look ravishing today J, have you done something different with your hair? And you smell so good...
*nuzzles into J*
You too SS. You are such an awesome and unselfish dude. You are love. Have a great happy new year's. you best be coming back now, ya hear? :)
Toujours, that is completely amazing, about FLW.
Amazing, but not unbelievable.
And you know, I just don't believe in coincidences. :o
J
party sheep, you're still here cutie? * pets party sheep's wool affectionately.*
Baaa
Hello Tj
Just for the record for anyone who was wondering, the purple dude at MickeyD's is Grimace.
I think.
I can't play the game cuz my dude is watching his 10,000th episode of Law & Order. I am destined to have Law & Order tattooed on my ass. What's funny now is when I first typed that it said Lay & Order. Jeez. For the whole story on that check out the previous post on DM.
^_^
Night Mayo! Happy New Year!
Happy New Year, SS!
Happy New Year, BlogBelieve!
Love you all to pieces!
Princess S&V20
Mmm-hmm, Party Sheep, not a smooth operator, hunh? Yeah, I hear you talkin'. ;)
You don't need to sweet-talk me to get a nuzzle.
C'mere, sweet pea. *nuzzles PS*
That better?
J
baaaa baaa baaaa
Translation:
feels.so.damn.good
Thanks smoke. Lay and order? Simply hilarious! XD
Happy new year smoke! Take care
S&V20 if you are going to bed goodnight and happy NYE for the next 25 minutes.
I am sorry Mustard, I was actually ignoring you. Will you ever forgive me? Yes, you will... you need my attention for the planets to align properly and whatnot.
How did that go...
Scream, run away and tell someone.
Help!
*runs away*
Kapunua touched me!
Okay now...I'll behave and go away.
We just saw a commercial for a, uh, male dysfunction-helping drug. Their slogan?
"Viva Viagra!"
>_<
HAPPY NEW YEAR INDEED.
J
Wait Aip what are you doing out of the basement.
hey there bc, hi martha. ^.^
i don't really believe in coincidences either, j., not for the most part, and this one was just too good. overwhelming, actually.

Translation:

PS, sounds like you've been hangin' out with GW too long, dude.
J
OP, I see those commercials late at night when I am being an night owl ^_^
What a way to spend the first day or the new year lol
Squeak squeak, I believe things happen for a reason. anyways, how are you?
Well, TJ, about the coincidences/MCR songs thing.
The first time we listened to "Teenagers", I was holding my cat Dumplin and dancing in the living room.
Around the middle of the song, he started gagging and heaving.
He's such a critic.
J
I like teenagers but I wish they had done sharpest lives or disenchanted.
I have drank rum tonight in honor or something. ^_^
nice story, j. ;)
cats never appreciate good music. more coincidence, though not as shivery -- just before i refreshed the page and read your comment, they were playing "teenagers" on the radio. end-of-year countdown. i'm wondering how much of tbp i'm going to end up hearing.
^_^
hey bc, i'm okay. this post made me sad though. in a good way, i think, but still.
odd.
Thre eminutes on the east coast.
Guys, put your music players on random. THe song that is playing at midnight, that's your 2008 oracle! ^_^
Fireworks!
BlogBelieve friends, thank you for being here.
Mayo, thank you for this blog. ^_^
Aww don't be sad squeak squeak *hugs*
It won't be midnight here for another hour :( but I will play the song at random anyways
Oh, I love when they play New York New York. ^_^
My songs were Up Against (which ended just at midnight) and, uhh, Hey Ba-Ba Rebop by Lionel Hampton. O_O
Good night you guys and happy effing new years.
night night k and happy new years. My song is demolition lovers ^_^
2007 is SO five minutes ago.
happy new year kapunua and all you other east coasters!
i think i'll hang onto 2007 for a few more hours, however. :p
2007's numbered ass will be over in approximately 49 minutes over here :)
Mayo I was rereading your post. I don't think you should ask yourself at the end of the day was I good. Rather was I true to myself
Happy new years to the east coastmand goodnight Kapu
Shoots, MJ, that was awesome.
Mayo? Listen to MJ. She's like the smartest one here a lot of the time.
Man I wish I had thought of that. MJ, you are too right. Well done, brava.
Well I have to go to bed.
*Vunches new years*
*Vunches 2007*
Mayonaise, the question you should not be asking yourself is whether you were good, the question you need to ask if whether you were true to yourself, as MJ had pointed out. That is the really smoking gun right there. Go MJ! :)
I know what you are probably doing right now, Gerard. But while you're doing that you will think of me, and my fingertips writing 'Angel' across your back between your shoulderblades. I hope you never told her about that spot or about that word. That was ours.
I heard about the blond at Maxwells too. Who was that?
Thank you guys. I just kept reading that part and it just didn't seem right.
Family,
The new year is officially 11 minutes old in TN as I write this.
I hope that 2008 will be more tranquil, more successful, more liberating, more enlightening, more everything we need to fulfill ourselves than 2007.
This past year was a milestone for all of us, because we came together, here, in a fantastical yet oh-so-real world called BlogBelieve.
We have gone through some good times, some bad times, some parties, some memorials, some laughter, some tears, some screaming, some whispers. The list goes on.
In the meantime, we will continue this surreal journey with our "fearless leader", Lord of the Blog Mayo, and his trusty, kindhearted companion SS. I think we're in for a lot more adventures in the months to come.
Lead on, MacDuff. The Lovelies are with you, all the way.
Faith, Hope, Love, Peace, Happiness
J
Oh great.
*apologises for absence*
*fell asleep before New Year!!*
BAAA BAA BAAAAA!!!
*winks at party sheep*
A beautiful comment, J. WE shall continue our adventures together. I, for one, am not going anywhere. I'll still be here. If you are going to depart for the night, I wish you a happy new year's. Stay safe, healthy, and happy.
Shaunette, you're still here. No need to apologize. baaa *scratches shaunette behind the ear* :)
Hello TJ !!!
I was wondering if you'd get on here today
Happy New Year everyone who's just had it!!
I had a beer for you!
*rubs up to Avenger*
*tilts head for better scratch*
*closes eyes*
Baaaapurrr
Hi there Ergo. I still have to wait twenty more minutes until the new year. I'm going to go stuff my face with more food. Be right back :)
Thank you BC. I'm writing my long-winded goodnight/Happy New Year messages to everyone before I leave for the evening.
(You may need to keep an eye on the lovesheep, they're reacting strongly to the NY's bubbly. :))
In advance: goodnight! And the same from L. We'll see you all tomorrow--well, later today, I guess. :)
J
Hey guys; how are you all doing?
Happy New Year to those whose already in 2008! I have 24 minutes left. I really just want this year to be done and over with.
Hello ep and shaunette and goodnight J&L.
Hello Shaunette, I've never heard a sheep purr.
Where's your admirer gone?
Lovely sentiments J and MJ I agree "good" isn't as appropriate as "true to yourself"
Hello PH and I have 2 hrs and 20minutes.
*continues to scratch shaunette's ear until it purrs in relaxation. Then gives it a tummy rub* :)
HI PH *hug*
It's funny having people celebrate like dominoes.
Hey Martha, Ergo, and BC. *hug*
Teddy bear! How are you? *big hugs*
Op, thanks for the advance warning. We'll keep an eye on the two sheep lovers ^_^
I have 17 more minutes to go until the new year. I can't wait.
Hey everybody! MJ, Paperheart, Avenger, Ergoproxy, Shaunette!
Happy New Year to you all!
I'm home, and I ate too many spinach puffs!
BC, honestly, I could be better. How are you?
Hey Star! =]
Hello star and Happy NYE or New Years to you
Thank you, Martha!
Ph what is wrong?
Hey there star. Happy new year! How's the jersey girl doing? :)
Teddy bear, had a rough day? I'm okay, just full from all the food I ate. Yum.
Hello star!
too many spinach puffs!lol
I have a dinner tonight so I 'll be stuffed for sure.

For Everyone Who Needs It Including Mayo:
These are not my words, but I kinda wish they were.
but remember why you do it.
if you have green hair and you dont know why, fuck you.
if you sing along to the rally song for the hook, fuck you.
if you pick up a cause and dont know why, fuck you.
if you tour the country in a broken van and dont see the beauty in 3am gas station dinners, dont do it.
[...]
dont you remember why you wanted this? when it was more than music. when it was a fight. and not a fight against your parents and the kids at school or even the popular radio dance crap you hear day in and day out, when it was about a real fight...the fight to save yourself from yourself.
see, this isnt about that hot and sweaty feeling of being smashed in a sea of a thousand people or dressing up for the show on friday or throwing elbows at the dude who is sweating all up on your back or winking at the bass player or impressing boys or girls or bands or security guards or getting on tour busses...
its about being alone in your room with headphones on and feeling it so hard it brings tears to your eyes.
its about driving home alone at night and screaming at the top of your lungs to words that at that moment in the world, only you understand.
its about not being scared anymore.
its about the refusal to sit on a couch and rot.
its about forcing yourself out the door to be productive.
and its about wanting to live so hard you just know you're going to shred this world or go out trying.
[...]
and real living is in the faith of knowing someone will catch you.
because you would for them.
Remember why we came here in the first place as we all go into the new year.
Remember why we found each other.
This is it you guys. Bare bones.
Happy New Year, Everybody.
Mayo:
I'm proud of you.
12:44 AM, January 01, 2008
Mustard, thank you for posting that comment through Mj. I definitely needed those words. others probably do too. Take care and have a happy new year's. Stay safe, happy, and healthy.
I'm not sure what to say. I just had a bad night. My friends and I were watching Fireworks at The Forks, the place downtown that's like a park kind of thing, and we were waiting for an hour in the freezing weather outside. We were waiting outside of the train station for our ride, and this group of people told us to "buy drugs or fuck off", and then these guys drove past and stopped asking "How Much?" thinking we were hookers. Finally I get home, and I walk inside my house to my parents fighting.
what's up PH?
I must go hang out some clothes
bert ghost, trying again, sorry to those who don't believe in Santa Claus anymore. anyways, lame boo and shit, love you guys, even the ones who fuckin' annoy me. Happy New Years and shit, and I'm sqeezin' my hair out for Fimble's fries, cuz she is my sweet Manc bird. sorry Angel.
paperheart, at least you came home safe. I'm sorry you had such a rough night. We all have those, and whenever you need to talk, you know you can always come to us.
That was horrible to think that those idiots thought of you and your friend that way. Shame on them.
I send you my biggest 4989404909094 hugs *hugs*
hey everybody -- i kinda scooted over to my blog for a little while.
martha, that was...beyond perfect. i loved that. i'm keeping it. maybe up on a mirror somewhere.
thank you.
Thanks BC.
I'm just sitting here crying. Remember me ever mentioning the fact that my mom was sober? That she hadn't had alcohol in like 4 years? That all went down the drain tonight. What a way to start the New Year, right?
oops! mustard not martha. i've got to look a little closer, huh?
thank you mustard!
oh Ph that sucks.
What an awful thing to happen.
I hope 2008 is better than the last night fo 2007
I see that at the beginning of the new year, it is not all beauty here anymore.
Did the host's anger rub off on you. Only so much can be blamed on him.
I am sorry for what I see here.
Kapunua, I respect you very much. I may not always agree with you, but I think you are beautiful and strong, and I am sorry you are getting attacked by weaker ones who are afraid.
You attack their logic and in return, they attack your very life. I have witnessed it. I'm sorry but it is the cross you will bear all your life. You intimidate people because you take them apart like a puzzle. There is a curse of being too smart sometimes.
It is now the new year where I am and I hope that you can all pull this back together. I would hate to see it fall apart at this moment.
Mayonaise, take care of yourself. Take care of the Lovelies.
Aw paperheart, I'm sorry to hear that. *hugs* You will get through this. I know you will.
It is now 12:03 overhere; January 1st, 2008. Happy new year everyone!!
We need something to cheer this place up
So Ph I have no advice on your parents. Iwas raised by my grandparents and they never really fought.
On the things that were said to you just laugh at them. I once had a dude walk pass my friend and I and he screamed. "There's a hole in your crotch". No idea why he said that. At first we were like WTF. But than we just started laughing at it.
Mustard they are great words!!
PH adults, well sometimes they really fuck up badly. I hope your Mum sees she's better than that and pulls herself up. If she did it for 4 years I hope she knows she can do it again
paperheartxx, the thing about new year's eve is that a lot of people look at it as a night to completely let go and do things they wouldn't normally. so you have people acting like those jerks that said that crap to you and your friend, and you have your mom.
i can't say for sure that things will be back to normal with your mom tomorrow, but wait and see, okay? maybe it's just new year's eve.
Unfortunately, it seems that way Heavenly mother, but with the start of the new year, hopefully the mood here will improve. It is nice to meet you
Happy new year BC!!
Thanks guys.
Honestly, I don't know what to say or do anymore. Really.
Thank you Heavenly mother and Bert's ghost You guys have a Happy new year.
Hello KD and Happy NYE or New Years.
Happy new year Ergo! Thank you!
Hi there Katherine. Happy new year!
Paperheart, don't worry, maybe things will get better tomorrow *hugs*
Bert Ghost. WherE?
"What is missing? I can not watch myself from a distance...it is far too painful. The awkwardness, the shuffle, gives rise to self doubt and sour bile. I rely on second hand tales and the perceptions of others to deliver me from evil. Introspection has never been my finest skill...so I challenge myself to look."
Mayo, you are on the path to an enlightened and self-aware new year. Just look back a few months ago to what you wrote. I see a new new man beginning to awaken. You often talk of your fears, but it takes real courage to look inside yourself. Keep up the good work.
Happy new year's Bert ghost. I didn't see you there
HI KD did you have a nice night
Happy new Year to you too Bert Ghost and Heavenly mother
Happy New Year, officially 12 minutes ago. I want to see smiles miles long on everyone's faces. =]
Happy new year teddy bear. I hope this may cheer you up *hugs* :)
I was watching the tv and just seen a man proposing to his girlfriend at times square. How awesome is thaT?
Shaunette, are you still here little sheep?
That really is adorable BC! And really romantic.
like this, paperheartxx?
^__________________________^
Baaaa?
*sleepily*
*very late for a sheep to be up*
*snuggles up to Paperheart to comfort her*
Mayo, my brother,
As I read your post again, I wondered, Who is he addressing? Us, probably somewhat. Best Friend, always possible. Other Person, most likely. I do feel that this post is in direct correlation to the old/new Saturday post.
(I just heard the first fireworks exploding downtown. The sound echoes between the hills and drops down into the valleys of our town, spreading the news of a year past and a year beginning.)
You project the feeling that you are trying to explain the reasons behind your angry words. As if you're saying, Hey, you know, it's hard for me to reconcile who I see in the mirror and who everyone else sees in front of them. As if you're saying, I have a hard enough time being my true self, let alone being who they want me to be.
And in the middle of all that enforced duality is a man who's just trying to live a satisfying life. Circumstances frequently make it hard for that man to do what he wants to do. He more often feels compelled to live the life expected of him, not the one he wants for himself.
So now you've done a little surgery to open yourself up, see what's actually inside. Lots of things, both good and bad, but all part of being human. And luckily for you, you get to choose the parts that you will feel most comfortable keeping.
Not everyone reaches that point in their entire lifetime. That's why I said you were lucky.
You are setting some revelatory goals for yourself, my friend. Evaluating your behavior on a daily basis will take courage, strength, and determination in abundance. I do not doubt your success in your endeavor, though. I have every confidence that you will approach your resolution with the tenacity of a starving man searching for nourishment.
"Apparition?...please." This phrase pulled at my heart for some reason. I have no idea how you meant for it to be read. I don't understand your reference, and I don't need to do so. But the voice I heard saying it was so melancholy, so sad, so cajoling, it touched my soul. That's all I can say about it, since I have nothing else to go on.
Honey, I hope that 2008 will be a glorious, spectacular year for you and those you love. I pray that you can pick through the details of your life and find the parts that you need.
Mostly, I send you hope.
You are special. You are good. You are brave.
You are my brother, and I love you.
J
Isn't it paperheart? Aww
Aww shaunette, did I interrupt your sleep? I'm sorry.
Exactly like that Toujours!
What level are we at young grasshopper? =]
*pets &cuddles with Shaunette*
Wow KD was that something you were happy to find out?
I don't want to get too personal but I hope it all works out nicely for you, either way
Well KD having someone interested in you for the new year is a nice way to start it. I hope it's something you wanted and it works out for you.
*yawns and snuggles closer*
*must go home to her barn*
*gets up reluctantly*
*nice to have seen you all*
Baaaaaaa
*will call back in tomorrow*
Goodnight shaunette and happy new year to you.
Nice to meet you shaunette. Enjoy your sleep, little sheep. And thanks for the snuggles and the soft white wool.
*Gives shaunette one last scratch behind ears*
KD, I hope it works out well for you. good luck. I wish I knew if the guy I liked had liked me back, but it doesn't seem to be working out. Oh well.
paperheart, are you feeling any better young grasshopper? :)
Sweet Dreams Shaunette! *HUG*
BC, I'm alright, don't worry. =]
KD it's always hard.
But if he rgets to know you he should realise what you like and dislike.
Plus New years Eve can be a bit territorially threatening to guys, if they are interested in a woman.
I think taking it easy and being friends always helps.
goodnight shaunette here's a nice new years eve party hat to remember it by
*crawls back into the blog*
*stupid internet connection*
paperheartxx, my master, i believe you had placed me at level 4.
*said humbly, head bowed*
Toujours, I believe that you must be mistaken! You certainly are well above the level of 4. I'd say, as the Master of Hug Fu, that you are now near level 7.
Time flies, and you are becoming one giant bumblebee! ^_^
(PH is re-reading what she just wrote and thinking WTF? lol)
....level 7?
*is dazed*
i'm a...bumblebee? bzz?
*bows deeply, hoping the uniform won't have yellow stripes*
Squeak squeak is almost at level 7 already? Wow. congrats squeak squeak :)
May the force be with you. Lol
Somehow, the magic of Hug Fu has transformed you from a grasshopper to a bumblebee. It amazes me as well.
*bow*
*hug*
awww TJ you'd look cute!!
and little antennae
I battle with my image. It is difficult to see myself in the context of life. To see myself as others do, with a watchful eye. I am often too busy living to be constantly aware...aware of my actions and my thoughts as they occur, to be always on. That is a poor excuse, and so I will continue learning.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Mayonaise, we all had times in our life where we did not want to see ourselves directly in the mirror. You are not alone. Why do you hate seeing yourself in the mirror so much? I, for one, think that you are slowly turning out to be a great man. You are changing in drastic ways, all of them good I might add. I know it's a struggle to be happy with who you are, but as long as you are trying, I am happy. Don't give up trying to discover who you are. Always remember the most important lesson in this: Stay true to yourself. Be proud of who you are. Don't sell your beliefs, your morals, your values for anyone else. Otherwise you will be selling a piece of yourself. And for what? I only want you to be what you truly want to be:you. To me, I see a great man trying to find his way in life. I see a human being who struggles just like the rest of us. It is okay to mess up. We all do. That is how we learn our biggest life lessons; through obstacles, mistakes, observations, etc.
You are a good man. You need to allow that part of you to shine a bit more often. Maybe by then, you can conquer your inner demons. Slow down and take the time to observe your actions. Don't rush. Walk. Otherwise you will make countless mistakes. Take time observing each and every one of them, and take the time to listen to the words of others. This is the best I can do. To be honest, no matter how dissatisfied you are with yourself, in my eyes I see a great and wonderful man. Not trying is the true failure. And failure is not who you are. And I like you just the way you are.
I know. I suck at inspirational speeches don't I? ;p
BC, that was an awesome inspirational speech!<3
Aw thanks teddy bear!
Let it be known that I'm not good with speeches either way, especially sappy ones ^_^
I'm not good with words, which is why I don't do the speeches alot.
BC,
Lovely speech. We all perceive things in our own way and act accordingly.
Sometimes we just don't see things the way others do.
Mayo's mistakes will be his to make and his to learn from.
Watching LOTMS, it still rocks
awww TJ you'd look cute!!
and little antennae
somehow, ergo, i'm only able to visualize belushi.
this is not good.
Thanks katherine, and you're right, but still, I like Mayo just the way he is.
I wish he was more comfortable with himself.
hi there carrie. Happy new year!
Lotms does rock; I just hate seeing the images of Gerard drunk.
Me being a lame ass, I actually cried when I first saw them. I'm such a loser ;p
HAPPY NEW YEAR WESTERN CANADA!!
-A
Carrie, LOTMS will always make me smile. That is the true essence of MCR right there.
Happy New Years Amyranth! *HUG*
Central Canada 'celebrated' an hour ago!
Amyranth, Happy New Year!
Hello again to everyone else!
Hello Again Star!
Where does everyone always disappear to?
Hey, KD! Happy New Year to you too!
Hello hello Amy. Happy new year. how are you?
Paperheart, I fell asleep on my couch. The spinach puffs I ate tonight knocked me out!
Happy New Years guys!
Thank you for all of your kind words tonight. I can't talk to anyone else about this. Especially about my mom.
Again, I hope that 2008 brings everyone true love and happiness into your lives.
All MY love for tonight;
- 007
♥
okies I'm off to shower and go
have a great night?day tomorrow for your Jan 1st
Much love everyone
xx
KD, the ever-so-popular-blogger-sucker AIM.
*shakes head in shame*
[ kidding ]
Star, those spinach puffs sound delicious!
Sweet dreams guys!<3
nobody's on AIM, trust me. Personally, I kinda like drunk Gerard, at least he was humble then. Now, he's kind of an ass and it makes me sad.
happy new year to everyone...does that mean that i'm next?
*looks at clock*
oh my! i'm next! :D
Have fun, Ergoproxy!
Hey, TJ, you're 48 minutes away from the best year of your life!
I can't blog and AIM. I'm not a good multitasker!
Teddy bear, you are welcome. Sweet dreams and goodnight to you young grasshopper. Take care and enjoy the day Ergo!
Carrie, sadly, I have to agree, drunk Gerard was better, but it's painful seeing him in that condition on Lotms.
To be honest, I still have some doubts about his staying sober. even now.
Haha! I'm great guys. Dipping into the sauce a little. Bad Amy!
PH - You Central Canadians always get to do stuff first!! No FAIR!
Avenger - 2 shots in 2 minutes, should hit me any second now...
-A is wondering if we put a bar in, or did she show up to the party drunk?
Hi everyone I just got back from a nice hot shower.
I"m zipping in and out very quicky tonight. Too much alcohol unber by belt.
Jappy new Yers to eveyrbody. I wsh you all love and good fortune for this coming yer.
Mayo, "But still I ask myself, how can I be a better person?'
Be not the slave of your own past. Plunge into the sublime seas, dive deep and swim far, so you shall come back with self-respect, with new power, with an advanced experience that shall explain and overlook the old.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
SS my baby,
No New Year's wishes would be complete without one for you.
It's been a little while since I heard from you, so I don't know what's going on in your life at the moment. Hopefully you are safe and well, and enjoying each day as it comes.
It certainly doesn't seem like five months since we met, yet it feels like we've known each other forever. I guess that's how it happens with folks who "click" when they meet: a single word, or a look, or a gesture can light that spark. Amazing, isn't it?
You've been a steady, reassuring presence here, for most everyone (vultures not included!). Thank you for giving so freely, and so generously, of yourself. You most likely would shrug and say, Don't thank me, I do it because I care.
And you do care. I can feel it every time we talk. Even when we don't talk, I still know it's there. The strength of it reaches for my heart and envelops it in the deepest warmth.
You said it yourself: despite any faults, bad habits, whatever, a friend still loves you. L and I know that. You and your Best Friend know that. And now you and I know that, too.
I would wager that the four of us, all being Best Friends, would get along perfectly. Makes you wonder, doesn't it?
Precious, I wish for you a year of revelations, of completeness, of wealth of spirit, of kindnesses, of appreciation, of discovery.
You deserve so much. I sincerely hope you can find it all.
I love you, babydoll.
My heart to yours, always.
J

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY
I came in from a nice night out with my family which is very rare, so I decided to catch up in here and read the comments. I am going to be honest it upset me a bit.
I understand people have discussions and disagreements with one and other but when has it ever become about verbally attacking them? When did we start to call each other names? I am sorry but one of the reasons I am here is because of you the lovely people here, this wasn’t like INO or BN it was somewhere that you could DISCUSS your own opinion and if there were people who didn’t agree then there was a healthy discussion and that was that. We respected each others opinion and we went back to talking about what we like. When did we lose that respect
I understand that if you have a problem with someone you need to get it out and tell them. Its only human after all but most people have blogs or emails. Couldn’t we just tell them on their own instead of bringing it into mayos house so that other people (mainly the anons who do not think twice about lowering themselves to name calling) can slate the person.
I know what it is like to be verbally attacked. I have had it happening all my life whether it be in school, at home within my family and even in here. It is not nice and I do not want any of you to be publicly attacked for others to join in trying to hurt one of our friends.
As usual I drift off the main subject of my comment and lose track of what I am trying to say. So I would like to finish on this. HAPPY NEW YEAR
oh fimble that was a very nice comment. i like what you said.
and happy new year, indeed!
Happy new year. and nice comment FS
whoop!
that's it! mayo's blog is now oficially 100% 2008!!
happy new year everybody!
auld lang syne, etc.
happy new years martha, mya and tj
mya it was not all to do with your posts. i have seen it happen a few times and i just needed to express my thought on a matter that i saw as becoming to be a big issue.
my radio station played a great punk version of auld lang syne. it's good.
ha! and now they're playing u2 --
yeah.
new year's day.
:)
Only problem some anons are using it as a way to attack people.
martha, tj and mya. i am going to go to bed now. i am tired.
i hope you had a lovely new year and i hope you have a wonderfull 2008. may you recieve everthing that you wish for.
remember to smile first thing in the morning. that way it is over and done with for the day and you will be able to say you have smiled at least once today!
MAYO, Happy new year sweetie.
These words you have given us mean a lot.
I think we're all going to be ok.
Happy new year everyone, I'll talk to you all soon.
Love, and more love, xoxo cupcake
P.S I love you all very much.
xoxo cupcake
Goodnight FS. yes mya we have always had the asswipe anons but now it seems they want to use any fights we have with each other as a why to attack us.
Happy new year Cupcake
That's the other thing Ya there was an anon claiming to be one of us.
Happy New Year MJ!
Just pooping back because I didn't say happy new year to SS!
SS, so terribly sorry, I am an idiot some times!
Love you muchly also :)
xoxo cupcake
the evil anons have been quiet. But for a while we had ones who were attacking cupcake. They called her a whore and ho(e). Than when KD stood up for her they told her she needed to be raped.
I don't think it's one of us. I refuse to believe that I think it's an anon trying to break us up.
good night fimble! good to see you!
well, i just set up my new blog. i've never customized anything to this extent before, so it's a bit rough, but i'm happy with the new look, i think.
new year, new design!
actually mya, i brought it up but i didnt mention your 'long ass comment'. i didnt really mention anyones comment. if i did that, i would be here all night. but saying this, it was in mayos comments and this is public and known to recieve many, many posters and lurker so anyone could easily bring it up again.
it was on the previous post yes but try telling that to the anons. they will continue to bring that shit up and anyone else's up whenever they want to get at someone. you are right we have always had anons being mean but like martha stated it has gone to the next level.
i was mainly putting in words how i felt about 1 certain part of why i felt down about this place at the moment. thats what i thought we could do in here, speak our mind and how we feel.
i am not trying to sound in a arguementative way because that is not what i am trying to do. it is new year so happy new year to you all
To me it doesn't matter so much if they have a name or not. It will never be their real name so they would still be hiding. It's just now they are going to peoples' blogs and just attacking people for asking for help when they are having a problem.
They may not be here right now but believe me we have had times when they have just come out guns blasting.
Goodnight mya and have sweet dreams and a happy new year. I'm off to bed as well Good night all and happy new year
