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.

«Oldest ‹Older 1201 – 1400 of 2409 Newer› Newest»Hello Martha, bye Mya.
Star,
I'm fine thanks, how are you?
I wish everyone could quit
Why did it start in the first place? I wonder about our forefathers you know. At what point would you turn round and say " hmmm, I wonder what I can do with that leaf. I know, let's dry it, burn it and inhale the smoke. Yeah, that's a good idea "
Strange :\
Whoa, everyone's turned up!
Hello to CTV, Ergo and FASC.
Hello everybody, how are you all?
Can I wade into the smoking discussion?
I have never smoked, not a single one, ever. I've never wanted to, it smells like shit and makes you cough like a scummy old man.
I'm so sorry there are some of you who are wanting to quit but finding it difficult. Maybe a shock is what is needed.
I recently watched a programme about smoking. It was part of a series called "don't die young". Each week specialised in some bad habit that will ruin your health.
The presenter of the programme would tell all the facts to a person who did that bad habit, in this case somking.
She took the smoker into an operating room to watch another woman have a tumor removed. They took the tumor over to a table and encouraged this woman to cut it in two.
It was quite big and all black, it looked like a hagis actually. She cut it open and right in the middle you could see the smoke that the tumor had formed around.
A couple of weeks later they went back to see the woman (who had cut the tumor open) and asked her if it had helped her quit. She said that she had quit there and then and hadn't had one since.
The woman asked how it had helped her to quit and she said "I couldn't get the picture of that tumor out of my head. Every time I picked up a cig, I pictured a piece of string that ran straight from the tip of it to the tumor. I haven't been able to smoke since".
So, when you pick up that cig, look at it and picture the piece of string on the end of it that leads straight to a cancerous tumor. Gross but it might help.
Hey GS here is a little history on tobacco
Tobacco is an agricultural product processed from the fresh leaves of plants in the genus Nicotiana. Tobacco has been growing on the American continent since about 6000 BC and began being used by native cultures at about 3000 BC. It has been smoked in one form or another since about 2000 BC. There are pictorial drawings of ancient Mayans smoking crude cigars from about 1400 BC. Tobacco has a very long history of use in Native American culture and played an important part in the foundation of the United States of America, going back to colonial times and the original Jamestown settlement.
its hard star i know.
anima its normally all or nothing with me with most things but smoking was one i kinda tried to keep for evenings at least but by then i'd be twitching like a motherfucker!!
there have been times when i've thought fuck it i'm gonna go buy a packet now. the thing is i've moved back home near family and it was easy where i lived before cos you didn't have to cover up that you'd been smoking but here i see my mum and my in laws regularly they like 'pop in' so that deters me cos alot of them don't know i ever smoked. yes i am a sneaky bastard!! my mum has no idea that i have ever smoked!! i'm amazed cos out of my bedroom window when i was 16,17,18yrs and she has a good sense of smell!! anyway so my point is i didn't want to get caught and i hate the revolving around perfume, chewing gum and mints!! i felt i didn't have the energy to be sneaky. its hard work being sneaky!!
Mayo,
Thank you for the kind words. Happy New Year to you too. I can feel the honesty coming off your words in this post. It really is something. Just knowing that you try makes all the difference. And really, kudos to you if you're trying to quit the cancer sticks. It really is a shitty habit to have. Thank you for everything.
SS,
Happy new year. I'm sending my love and appreciation your way. Join us whenever you can.
GS,
I'm good, and I never really thought about your point!
Again, I can rationalize and say at least I'm not eating mushrooms, or licking frogs!
The "I have an addictive personality, I could have worse vices", is my favorite excuse to not stop smoking.
Thanks Ergo...I'm pretty excited about my anon.
I didn't start smoking until my senior year in highschool. I am such a dumbass. I know why I started, I just wish it never happened. I never desired to smoke, until the day I lit one up. So stupid.
Heads or Tails Anon, are you still around? I am still curious about your idea.
I'm good, Star.
GS, funny thing is, you know when they first started smoking, just what kind of leaves exactly were they smoking?
It's interestng to watch some of these tribes that make their own medicines and the things they smoke and drink.
I watched Bear Grylls get tore up from the floor up one night just by drinking a few sips of some stuff these tribal men had given him.
I heart Bear. ^_^
And a big hello to Star, MJ, FASC, BC, Miss T, Gnothi, and Ergo.
How are you guys?
Hello CTV, EP and Miss T
Awesome, everyone is here!
great research on the smoking field guys!!
hi to everyone i've not said hi to!!
Hey CTV, Ergo, Miss T. How are you guys? Miss T, thank you for the emails. I will respond in a bit. I have some others I need to write back to as well :)
CTV I'm okay how are you?
I don't smoke either, MissT. I tried it once and that was it.
The only thing I'm truly addicted to is caffiene. Coke and coffee.
That's about it.
And my mirror. ^_~
Hi guys!
STAR! There is no worse "side effect" than cancer.
"Side effects" as a medical term pisses me off. "Oh, this effect is just on the side. Don't look at it too much." Effects are effects. I mean come on. Is the drug a "side cause?" No, there is cause and effect, none of this "side" bulljive. Do not trifle with me, medical industry. I am not afraid to knock some crap over. ;D
Anon: psychoanalyze me harder, baby!
I take Kung Fu, not Karate, and I don't think my friends are stupid; in fact my two best friends are so much goddamn smarter and more worldly than I am that it's hard to keep up with them sometimes.
One is a well-traveled, quasi-European, blonde Jehovah's Witness born in Hawai'i who packpacked across Budapest when she was 20. As militant as she can be about her spiritual beliefs she is also always up for a night on the town and a snog with a hot boy.
The other is a militant atheist who grew up in West Germany and was a left-wing revolutionary having to hide out in abandoned warehouses when she was 12 with her brother to avoid the police. She is now a frustrated vet tech living out here on the Island and at 36 is impatient, angry at the world and still looking for her calling.
These two are my best friends and they always challenge me. If you think I'm anywhere near being hardcore, you should see either of them.
They are the only two people outside of my family for whom I'd fly across the world empty handed at a moment's notice if they needed me to.
Yes, I get impatient with stupidity, depending on the patter on which it's served up. I do it on a case by case basis, you dig that? I knew you would. ^_~
Calaf, will you come back some time?
Kapunua,
I agree. I don't want to be dependent on something else, even for a little while, to quit. I have to want to do it. That's the whole thing. Willpower.
And with that, I'm off to Barnes and Noble to spend my gift cards, and get some Starbucks!!!!
Later, everyone!
Thanks for the info Martha.
Star and S&V,
It's like food. Sometimes I'll be at the diner table and I'm like " What possessed someone to even TRY this in the first place! ".
S&V,
Bear is the bomb, mad, but the bomb.
Later star
Hello, everyone, how are you today?
I'm only on for a little while, our friend Sonja is supposed to be here by six for dinner.
Martha, are you one of the David Tennant fans? And if you are, did you see Blackpool?
Love,
L.
That should of course be dinner table. Gah!
Gs I think the same thing as well.
Hi BC, no worries sweetie.
Hi CTV *a snog for wifey*
Hi MJ, how are you?
Hello everybody.
Wow, lots of people came on when I went to put dinner on.
Hi, everybody.
FASC, that would work for some people. Others, not so much.
Boychild's grandmother on his father's side, right? She's about 60 and stage four cancer. She just had a tumor removed today. They gave her another 6 months to a year. She's going to spend that time smoking. Her doctor actually told her that they could have cured her if she had quit when they first found the cancer, but she didn't.
Some people just never do.
But most people can and do. I believe every single person here who wants to quit smoking can and will do it. Not this year, but this week. I will be pulling for you.* And I'll be so happy for you when you're all smoke-free and you can taste things better, smell things better, walk farther, have a nicer smile, have clothes that don't smell like smoke, and just generally be overall healthier. Just watch, health problems you didn't even realize you had are going to disappear, then you'll wonder how you ever lived with them in the first place. ^_^
*LOL, "pulling for you."
Good bye Star.
Hello Miss T and OP's.
S&V, how many mirrors do you get through sweetie?
Also, what is your mirror to tiara ratio?
Hello L. To answer your question yes I am and no I didn't.
Martha - I feel happier in the knowledge it's not just me :)
By FASC I meant MissT. Obviously. ^_^
Hello Kapunua, L., and anyone else I missed. I hope all is well?
Miss T, darling, I've missed you. I sent you an email.
*cuddle*
Joining in for a moment on the smoking issue, I credit my uncle for stopping that habit for me before it even started.
See, he raised tobacco, and my cousin Linda and I, when we were about 8 and 9, decided to sneak down to the barn one day with a box of matches and a couple of pipes.
We crumbled up PURE dried tobacco into the pipes and smoked them. And then we threw up all the way back to her house.
Her dad figured out what we did, but he never said anything to us. I think he thought we had punished ourselves enough.
And to this day, neither of us smoke!
L.
Hi GS sweetie, how are you?
Hi K, how are you?
*sniggers, K called me FASC*
It's a shame K that even faced with the prospect of death, some people are not willing to quit.
I've met a man that lost his voice box completely due to smoking. His two sisters died of lung cancer.
Sad, really.
Hello too, GS, CTV, Miss T, Martha, Kapunua, anyone I missed.
I found this video on You Tube and thought you might like it, Martha.
Blackpool was a six show mini-series that was a mystery/drama/comedy/musical and it was just fantastic. David played a detective trying to solve a murder.
The cast would break out into song and sing over the original recordings. The video uses the song "These Boots Are Made For Walking" and was just one of the best parts of the whole series.

Love,
L.
You know GS it's not just with food. I often wonder who's came up with the idea of underwear or you know fashion trends in general.
well k we are both english! hello miss T!
Hmmmm, mirror to tiara ratio.....
About tit for tat!
Honestly, though, there are probably more mirrors. I have to have one from every angle possible, ya know?
X_X
GS,
I would jump out of an airplane for that man, anyday. Eat a grub? Uhhh, no. He is super-sexy, though. Especially when he's all muddy. ^_^
Well, I'll see you guys in a bit!
XOXO,
S&V20
Miss T, how are you?
Hi there L
I'm good everyone
hey S&V GS MissT
I've never smoked either and I'm really glad it's an incredibly addictive substance and as it is so socially acceptable the chance of isolating yourself from it are basically nil.
I have a friend who quit for 12 mths, including while she was pregnant but is smoking agian, she just said she gave up trying to not smoke.
I have seen things , as a biology teacher, like Misst and it is really medically disgusting and such a physically damaging habit.
But knowing how hard it is I commend anyone who tries like anima or is trying not to go back to it, as it never goes away
Thank you L. CBS had a show like that Viva something but it didn't do well.
Hello, BC. How are you today?
L.
Martha :)
Life is full of these little questions.
Fine thankyou Miss T :)
S&V,
That he is, that he is.
sorry guys gotta go my chinese take away has arrived!!
i know i know i just want my fucking jeans to be that little bit tighter tomorow!!
its late here but its the last night of the holidays, the 2 older kids and mr bloke back to work tomorrow. (hurray)(sorry bad i know!!) i have excelled in washing ironing and all that other shit today and this is our last treat before we become sensible eating folk in the new year!!
love to all
have a good night.
Hey, Ergo!
My Dad smoked for 40 years and wound up in the hospital with a heart attack and six by-passes.
He was in the hospital for 2 months, so in that time, he quit smoking for good. That was 20 years ago, and his heart has been fine since. The doc told him smoking was the main cause of his heart attack.
What worries me is both my brother and sister smoke, and my brother has already had a heart attack and surgery, and my sister is in poor health. But neither of them will give up smoking.
I don't understand it, but I have heard it is harder to kick nicotine than heroin.
I remember a story in the papers a few years back concerning a man who sued the tobacco industry because he had been able to quit drinking, cocaine and heroin, but could not stop smoking. Then he was diagnosed with lung cancer.
I wondered how that case turned out. I didn't see anything else about it after that.
L.
I also know a guy who would take his oxygen mask off to smoke before he died and another who has had emphysema since 30, but is quitting, and a great uncle who drowned in his own lungs from it.
so it's not just cancer there's a lot of really nasty other possibilities,
I find people tend to dismiss lung cancer as "well I've got to die of something" but it's a bad way to go and may not be the one that you get, like lip cancer, tongue, throat.
Hi L, FASC, Ergo and BC. How are you all?
I'm ok thanks for asking BC.
Thanks for your beautiful email CTV.
Good night, FASC.
I guess I should go as well, so I will talk to you guys later. Seems like I only grab a few minutes here and there to post lately, but time goes so fast!
I will try to be back on later tonight.
Love ya,
L.
i meant the 2 older kids and mr bloke back to school tomorrow! my 8and 5 yr old back to school and mr bloke is a teacher so he's back to school/work tomorrow. i don't think he wants to and i don't blame him!!
See you later FASC, L.
Yeah, seriously Ergo. It's the people who don't even try that you just want to slap. I've seen people do that, too. People already on oxygen still smoking. WTF? I mean, and aren't you supposed to, like, not get flames near oxygen? O_o
Well guys, tonight I am returning to Kung Fu. Injuries be damned! The time is now! ^_~
See you all later! ^_________^
See you later L, S&V and FASC.
nicotine is the most physically addictive substance, far more than cocaine or heroine.
It' affects neuroreceptors exceedingly quickly and they actually pysically alter to require nicotine rather than the bodies natural hormones, and multiply.
And nicotine is highly water soluble so it is absorbed in the mouth before it even reaches the lungs and travels very quickly in the blood as opposed to the other drugs of abuse which take much longer to reach the receptors they attach to.
Plus it is a comfort habit which is also very difficult to break, being socially acceptable and also people smoke constantly, using hands in a repeated pattern which doesn't occur with injectable drugs.
And marijuana also causes lung cancer on it's own, but most who smake it smoke tobacco also (that was an arguement usually 15 yo boys would bring up in class pro marijuana and that of course doesn't negate the psychoses and other mental issues associated with marijuana anyway!))
See you later K.
Goodbye L and FASC
OP, Miss T, I'm doing good, just locking myself up in my room today talking to my friends on AIM :)
heads or tails anon can you give us a hint as to what you were thinking mayo means if his title and p.s. is not about quitting smoking? isn't quitting smoking a cliched new year resolution or resolve? won't mayo be exhaling with purity if he quits?
Good for you BC. It is staying in your room weather today.
Tha cold weather has finally hit us and it is gonna snow tomorrow. I don't know if we'll get any as most of it is up in scotland or down south. Even without the snow it is freeze your tits off weather.
Bye FASC, Kapunua and L.
who knows what Mayo means, I just like telling people stuff!
I really enjoy biology so give me an inch.....
I don't really know how the title and ps go together. There are many possibilities.
Bye kapu and S&V20
I will be gone for awhile bye.
Bye Martha.
Goodbye Martha. I hope you are OK sweetie.
bye Martha
I'm off to the gym too, back later
have fun!
Just wanted to pop in to say goodbye to everyone. I hope to stop by tonight.
Love to all of you!
bye anima!
Bye Anima.
I'm off as well, bye everyone.
Good night Mayo.
TTFN
It definitely is Miss T. Sorry for the abrupt absence. Too busy talking to friends and fixing up my myspace.
Bye Ergo, MJ, Anima, K, anyone else who is leaving. Take care
The topic is still that nasty smoking habit?
Yes, I am one of the addicted...
Has anyone ever watched The Insider with Russell Crowe and Al Pacino?
See you later ergo and anima.
Goodnight GS, sweet dreams.
BC, I have a facebook and myspace page and they are the crappiest things. I only opened them to get a signing in name. I never bother with them.
It tickles me when i get requests from people to be friends. They must look for the saddest one and that is me.
Gone, Again!
Hello, how is everyone?
I smoke, have tried more times than I can remember to stop and got to 8 months one time. It's just so fucking hard!
The medical stuff. Well, knowing the ins and outs of it and dealing with it on a daily basis should stop you, hey?
In the staff smoking shelter you would always find quite a number of representatives from all major medical fields and Anaesthetists (the very people who nag at you before surgery) would be bizarrely over-represented.
Go figure that!
They've recently banned smoking on the whole site. Okay, it's a hospital! Only stopped staff though as it's hard to enforce on joe public and patients.
Consequently, all entrances to the site now have a virtually permanent congregation of staff smoking as opposed to the shelters that were tucked out of sight!?!
In response to this the trust has e-mailed all staff to remind them that they have a responsiblity to promote good health and not be seen smoking by the public.
Yeah, fair point!
The colleague I was working with today is morbidly obese, as are many! How does that work?......that is now actually overtaking smoking as the major threat to health. And, you can't buy any food of a healthy nature on site....all chips and pies!
It's crazy innit!
Anyway, how is the new year so far?
Hi there Mya.
Miss T, I had a facebook a while back, but I think that site sucks, so I have a myspace instead. Regardless of it being an internet site, I like talking to people, which is why I have alot of friends and bands on my list. I like decorated my profile. If you ever want to add a pretty profile or anything else, please feel free to ask. Miss T,you get requests because people would like to get to know you :)
Mayo, new year resolutions are overrated. It's a fact that 97% of people who make resolutions don't keep them up through the whole year.
Anima, to quit smoking you can just keep yourself busy. Smoking ultra lights also helps. The cold is what's keeping me from smoking. My fingers freeze pretty much instantly. The hardest part for me is when I'm driving. I always want to smoke. I love smoking.
peace out. alie.
*smiles at BC* You are a darling. i shall keep that in mind if I get the urge to update it.
Hi DG, Hi Mya, how are you?
Hi there DG. How are you? As far as alot of us discussing about smoking goes, I am happy and proud to be a non-smoker. I hate cigarettes. The obesity topic is such a big thing now overhere as well, and all the more reason why I'm happy to be losing weight. I sent an email to the Whole Food company suggesting to them that they should open one in my area. I think it would be perfect since alot of organic and healthy crap are being sold in the stores near where I live, which is a great thing to start eating more healthier without worrying about pesticides and all those chemicals.
Okay thanks,MissT.
Tired...can't stay long, on an early and long day tomorrow!
How are you?
Aww thank you Miss T. If you ever need myspace help, you know where to find me :)
As far as my last comment goes, I think Lolita would be proud ^_^
Hi Alie. Nice to meet you
Hi Alie, I haven't met you yet.
It's always nice to meet new people.
Hey BC!
Hey all,
Just stopping by. Will try to come back later.
About the smoking debate, unfortunately the chemical delivery system in nicotine, is deliberated placed there to create an addiction. Once your brain recognizes it, there is a change in the neurotransmitters so even a minute drop in the chemical causes the constant cravings, hence the difficulty in stopping.
Stopping smoking is not about willpower, more about bypassing a new working order in your brain.
purged and atoned
Interesting.
Talk to you all soon.
I'm OK thanks DG. I can't stay up late tonight either.
See you later KD.
How are you DG? Me, I'm getting a bit tired. Slept late again last night. Hi KD. Bye KD :)
*Poof!*
Wow, there are people in here again!
Hiya, guys!
I am freezing my ass off right now, I'm tellin' ya!
I dread having to keep up from my desk and walking out to my car to drive home! I'm gonna be running my ass off, I promise you that!
No snow, just frigid-ass cold...
So much for global warming...
It's bloody cold here too.
Hi Mya how are you?
Right now it's only seven degrees outside and the weird thing is, it's supposed to be in the 50's by the end of the week O_o
Let's all huddle up together to keep warm!
Hi, BC! I think we're supposed to get down to around 20 F.
Brrrrrrrrr
Miss T, did you notice that BC said that she slept late again last night?
Did you cock your head to one side like I did, and say, "Wah?"
I'm off to bed,ladies.
Goodnight Mayo.
Good luck tomorrow,MissT!
Nice to meet you guys, too! I have actually been reading mayo's blog for a while now. I just haven't ever commented. The conversations go so fast and I feel out of the circle.
alie.
Welcome to the circle Alie.
Goodnight DG, thanks sweetie.
Mya, I can't really say anything to BC cos I'm so guilty of staying up late myself aren't I?
Good night, DG, sleep well!
Mya, I feel you. It was 8 degrees today. Fuck it's cold!
Speaking of 'Fuck.' So when are we going to do Fuck Fest 2008? I think Mayo and/or SS should post a blog just for FF2008, that way all the dial-up friends can join in. We need to consult Sdock (founder of FF07) first. But I'm almost ready for a big day of cursing. It's the perfect thing to do after the holidays. ;)
Oh, I have it. How about Valentine's Day? That would be fun.
But BC said that she "slept late again last night"... Never mind...
Hello Mya, how are you on this wonderfully cold evening?
My roommate just turned on the tv to tlc and some girl was pronounced dead but really was alive the whole time and woke up in the morge. Creepy, huh?
alie.
Anima, what a splendid idea!
FF2008!
Eek! Creepy to say the least!
I love watching TLC!
Quittin' Time!
Ok, it is time for me to put my coat on and break outta this jail (my job). I gotta stop off at the "little girl's room" before making that long-ass drive home, but I dread it because they keep this place so dad-gum cold that I don't want to shed no clothes to take a tickle!
Mya, actually I didn't. My eyes were just closing, but I have been sleeping super late lately and usually I get up past one in the afternoon now. My emotions get out of wack when I do that.
Haha, my house is freezing cold. We can't turn up the heater because the neighbors keep there's at 90 degrees. The landlord splits the bill in half. We would be forking out $200 for the heat alone.
The thermometer isn't allowed to go above 60 degrees.
Pretty cold.
Have a safe drive mya.
alie.
See you later Mya.
Aww, Mya, I didn't even see that you were teasing. Damn, I'm tired, and it's not even six thirty at night yet! Take care!
Apparition?...please.
This sounds so sincere and melancholy. The questioning tone makes me think he was calling out to the Apparition to see if he was nearby to even hear his plea. I am glad it has been resolved.
Sorry, had to step out for a bit. Can't stay long. :(
Bye Mya. Have a safe trip home.
I know, I said I was going!
Mayo, just thinking about it again:
The title and the P.S.
A smoking gun...the guilty one?
Purity...innocence?
calm exhale...sigh of relief?
resolve...
The sigh of relief of a man proved innocent?.....does this tie in with the defendent,prosecutor and witness?
clichéd...did you say 'I told you so'?
Or maybe I'm over-tired and crazy?
Don't answer that!
Have a good night everyone, I really am going now.
Oh! and hello Alie. Catch you next time!
I am departing now. Thank you for spending time with me. I shall see you lovely people tomorrow.
hello alie nice to meet you!
hey everyoone I'm back from the gym.
Safe trip home Mya
sleep well DG
oh drat I get back and everyone's going!
Have a good sleep Misst, best of luck for tomorrow
Purged and atoned, eh? When did that happen??
*RW is charging the battery on her new toy, iPod - yes, she has given up on discmans & has been dragged into the 21st century, kicking and screaming all the way*
Perhaps he gave a sigh of relief that it was over, that his plea had been heard and any differences had been resolved. Perhaps this reconciliation provided him with atonement.
anonymous I hope you are right.
It is always best if disagreements can be resolved. Especially as it seemed a very personal and painful situation.
If it has been then he's a very fortunate man, to have friends willing to listen as I assume he must have listened to them.
I hope it will lead on into a brighter future.
Well if that's the case I'm really pleased to hear that!
I AM going now!
Perhaps he gave a sigh of relief that it was over, that his plea had been heard and any differences had been resolved. Perhaps this reconciliation provided him with atonement.
Why do I have the feeling I'm missing something?
Sorry to leave so suddenly.
Hello RW. Are you enjoying your new ipod?
hello RW!!
Have fun with your iPod, I have an iRiver, as I pretty much use it just for music as we have 4 radio stations and 3 play pop stuff all the time and so I put my cd's on it for the car.And it's small.
You do get very attached to them!
Goodnight Miss T. Take care Ergo, DG
Hi there RW. How are you?
Hello CTV and EP :D
I just bought the iPod today, loaded it up with songs, and am at this moment in the middle of charging it, so I haven't actually used it yet. As I do a lot of walking (9 miles a day to work & back) and really like to have tunes with me to keep me going, I think it was time for me to make the switch from cumbersome discman to tiny, sleek iPod Nano. I expect that once I suss it out I will enjoy it immensely.
So... has Mayo made a New Year's resolution after all, to give up smoking?
Heya BC :) I'm well, thank you. How are you today?
BC I'm not going anywhere!
but I'll take care anyway, thanks
I can't sleep during the day, so I am not a night owl (so very lucky for me it's daytime while you're all about)
Holy crap, 9 miles? That is some damn good exercise, RW. The Nano's pretty neat. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Be sure to add lots of The Used in there. Pretty please? Just for me?
The smoking thing is just a theory, but I personally believe it's what he was referring to, yeah. Good for him.
RW it will be very handy.
I wear mine in the gym and mout(sing) along all the time. I oten wonder if people figure out what I'm listening to, though today it was "Sit on my Face" by Monty Python while I was on the cross trainer!
Ergo, I thought you were leaving. Silly mistake. Sorry :)
Hey CTv. RW, I'm doing okay, just tired. I hear that you got a Ipod Nano. How are you liking it so far?
Hello BC, Ergo, and anyone else out there.
I hope you guys are doing fine.
Holy crap, 9 miles? That is some damn good exercise, RW.
It is indeed! I've been doing it nearly every day since June 2006 & have lost over 20 lbs as a result.
The Nano's pretty neat. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Be sure to add lots of The Used in there. Pretty please? Just for me?
Absolutely! Lies for the Liars shall be added, to be sure!
though today it was "Sit on my Face" by Monty Python while I was on the cross trainer!
HAHAHA! My best friend loves to sing that song.
mouth not mout
By the way, how does one remove songs from one's iPod. Does one have to be plugged into iTunes to do that?
Absolutely! Lies for the Liars shall be added, to be sure!
FOR THE WINNNNN.
RW there is a CD called Monty Python Singsa and it has heaps of their songs, I was listening to it.
Then on the bike it started "Inflammation of the foreskin reminds me of your smile...."
It is a great CD. I love Sit on My face and everytime Pixie is on I think of "Finland"
"Inflammation of the foreskin reminds me of your smile...."
*chokes*
goodness my spelling is bad "Sings" not "Singsa"
CTv, I'm doing okay, just tired. I hope you're doing well. RW, you need Itunes to delete the songs on your Ipod.
RW have you heard that song?
it's the "Medical Love Song" I also love the "Penis Song (not the Noel Coward Song)"
ok now I'm bringing the tone of the blog back to the smut level- lol
RW, you need Itunes to delete the songs on your Ipod.
I've got iTunes :) But where in iTunes do I need to go to delete?
"Inflammation of the foreskin reminds me of your smile...."
Does anyone think that lyric is funny? It just made me laugh :)
RW have you heard that song?
it's the "Medical Love Song"
I hazve not heard that song. I', quite certain I would have remembered it if I had.
I also love the "Penis Song (not the Noel Coward Song)"
Now that one I know.
ok now I'm bringing the tone of the blog back to the smut level- lol
Huzzah!
RW, did you register your Ipod yet? If so, did you name it? When you're on itunes, click on the name of your Ipod (When it's being uploaded) and there should be a list showing underneath it, such as music, movies, tv shows, etc.
Click on music and it should show your play list. Whatever songs you want deleted, click on that song with the right button on your mouse and then click delete.
I hope this helps.
BC it's a Monty Python song
Inflammation of the foreskin
Reminds me of your smile.
I've had ballanital chancroids
For quite a little while.
I gave my heart to NSU
That lovely night in June.
I ache for you, my darling,
And I hope you get well soon
My penile warts, your herpes,
My syphilitic sores.
Your moenelial infection,
How I miss you more and more.
Your dobie's itch, my scrotbox
Our lovely gonnorrhea,
At least we both were lying,
When we said that we were clear.
Our syphilitic kisses,
Sealed the secret of our tryst.
You gave me scrotal pustules,
With a quick flick of your wrist.
Your trichovaginitis
Sent shivers down my spine;
I got snail tracks in my anus
When your spirochetes met mine.
chorus:
Gonoccocal urethritis, streptococcal
ballinitis, meningo myelitis,
diplococcal cephalitis, epididimitis,
interstitial keratitis, syphilitic
choroiditis, and antertior u-ve-i-tis.
My clapped out genitalia
Is not so bad for me,
As the complete and utter failure
Every time I try to pee.
My doctor says my buboes
Are the worst he's ever seen,
My scrotum's painted orange
And my balls are turning green.
My heart is very tender
Though my parts are awful raw,
You might have been infected
But you never were a bore.
I'm dying of your love, my love
I'm your spirochaetal clown,
I've left my body to science
But I'm afraid they've turned it down.
chorus:
Gonoccocal urethritis, streptococcal
ballinitis, meningo myelitis,
diplococcal cephalitis, epididimitis,
interstitial keratitis, syphilitic
choroiditis, and antertior u-ve-i-tis.
Thank you BC! :)
OW.
Ah the penis song:
"Good evening ladies adn gentlemen he's a little number I tossed off in the Carribbean"
lol
"Good evening ladies and gentlemen here's a little number I tossed off in the Carribbean"
and the corrected version!
Isn't it awfully nice to have a penis?
Isn't it frightfully good to have a dong?
It's swell to have a stiffy,
It's devine to own a dick.
From the tiniest little tadger
To the world's biggest prick!
So three cheers for your
willy or John Thomas.
Hooray for your one-eyed trousers snake.
Your piece of pork, your
wife's best friend,
Your Percy or your cock.
You can wrap it up in ribbons,
You can slip it in your sock.
Don't take it out in public,
Or they will put you in the dock ...
And you won't
come
back.
RW, your welcome :)
Ergo, those lyrics are pretty...well, there's no words to describe them O_0
BC and there lies the beauty of Monty Python!
They have very strange songs.lol
I love Monty Python. Those guys are just brilliant.
Hey Guys!
How's evreyone doing? I noticed a newbie, Alie.? lol. Yeah, I'm a creep and read back a bit! Just wanted to say hello and welcome to you dear!
I am dying my hair atm, so I'll be back later!
All my love;
- 007
<3

i blame my slightly warped mind and sense of humour on growing up with them
hey PH *hug* hope it goes well!
Ooooo! What colour, PH?

Could someone please post this to Mayo for me?
Mayo,
How is everything going tonight? Are you okay? I hope you are. I have this terrible habit of worrying about my friends when I think they might be needing something or someone. I hope you know we are all here for you...even if you just want us to listen. Sometimes we might not get what you are trying to tell us. Hell, sometimes we're probably not even a little bit close, but we will sure try. Whatever it is, I hope you are working it out....in your own time, in your own way.
Me? I'm fine. Just feeling a little bit lonely and empty this Wednesday night, this 2nd full day of 2008. So far, is sure feels a hell of a lot like 2007. It's a scary feeling when you realize that it's all on you. You can either sit back and watch the world spin around you or you can decide to jump the fuck on. It seems that I'm still waiting for that perfect opportunity to jump on....every fucking time when I feel I have it timed just right and I can make the leap...something happens and I stop myself. Am I scared of not making it? Am I scared that I won't like the rotation? Will I get motion sickness? What if I don't land on my feet and I fall the fuck off? Muahha, at least it will be a funny show, right? The onlookers will get a fabulous laugh. Mayo, I have to try. I have to....I'm getting ready to close my eyes and jump.....almost.
Mayo, I hope that when I finally get ready and I make that leap and I almost fall my silly ass off that your hand and the hands of my friends here will help pull me up. Think you could do that for me? I have no doubts.
So, tonight's wish for you is this:
Mayo, may you always have someone in your life to grab your hand and pull you up just when you think you're about to fall off the edge.
Love to YOU Always,
S
p.s. Stand back a bit and admire the view, but don't forget to look down.
Hey teddy bear. How are you? *hugs*
Ergo, thanks for telling me that :)
Ergo, you know I agree on Monty Python.
^_^
Holy HELL, Sifu beat us up badly tonight. I could hardly lift my arms to wash my hair.
I love when that happens. :D :D ^___^
glutton for punishment Kapunua!!
Oh,that's why the "ow".
Seriously, I love it. It was like coming home.
Got some chores to do at this time of night. Take care guys.
SS, are you still keeping the faith?
I seem to have lost mine.
Mayo, something huge is going down. We are kinda pulling together to figure it out.
Mayo, either you already know about this, or you need to. So we are sitting in class, raising our hands.
What should we do?
Hey,Mayo,something kinda huge is going on that we think should be brought to your attention. We're trying to figure it out.
What do you think?
MAYO
Is there anything you would like to tell us, the blogbelieve family.
Maybe you like the game Cluedo. Do you like to guess who is who. Do you like to have different rooms.
Mayo maybe you should come and speak to us for once because a few are coming very, very close to finding who murdered who in which room.
Colonel Mustard in the conservatory with the candlestick!
Come play Mayo?
SOS, Mayo.
SOS.
Mayo, you've been there for us when times were shitty, now, I need you to be here for me.
Mayo, it's come to our attention that you may very well know something, and if you don't, we really need you to know that our big ass game of clue is about to come full circle. If you don't know, we need you to know. There's something boiling in Blogbelieve, and we need it straightened out.
Someone is holding the smoking gun.
Mayo,
I've dusted the smoking gun for prints. Do you have a clue who they belong to? I might.
Wow I just got back into Mayo's and am I confused. I'm just gonna go sit in the corner and watch. This is like walking into a movie during the last five minutes.
wow it's a quiet night here.
apart from mystery games
This blog is a game.
Play your pieces carefully.
Only time will tell.
hi elena - trying to out fox the fox i think
hows your night been?
Yeah, Elena. I agree.
*sits in the corner with Elena*
Ergo am I the only one in the dark?
Hey Star,
Here (passes bowl of popcorn)
No, Elena.
Elena, I meant you are not the only one in the dark, and thank you for the popcorn!
What on earth is going on?
Mustard, can you e-mail me with some info, because I have no idea what is happening.
L.
No, Elena. We're all in the dark.
Mayo, SOS.
We are not tearing your playhouse down. In fact, we might be holding it together.
Uh anyone out there. I'd really appricate an e-mail. Cause my head is about to explode.
I'm with you, Elena. Would someone please e-mail the rest of us what is going on?
L.
hey guys it's all a bit confusing but it's stuff people are trying to fit together like clues.
It's been so quiet tonight we were having a think on aim.
Just trying to draw mayo out into the blog.
Poke the bear as it were.
I have to go and do some skipping with my little girl, so don't panic it's just a bit of detective work.
I feel my head is about to explode too, i don't do well with sorting out puzzles.
I need some fresh air and a nice cold drink!
Ooh and hubby is home!! Yay!
Catch you all later.
Dude, paperheart is confused!
P.S. RW and BC, new hair colour is a bright, vibrant red! ^_^
Mayo,either you know or you don't. Either way,we do. At least we think we do.
We're just trying to help. Maybe you can lend a hand?
Mayo, back in the days when you heard me, you once told me this:
I like it here. Someone evil is trying to shut it down.
You wouldn't believe the truth. Leadership is an honor. People read things differently. Letting people in on deep dark secrets is cool, I won't delete.
Everyone willingly agrees.
p.s. i know who lurks.
Mayo, could you please just once just hear me?
We think this is important. God, we don't know what to do. Some stuff has come to light and we don't know what the hell to make of it. Can it help you? Can it help us? Will the world explode, dogs and cats living together?
You know what I wish? That just once...

Mayo,either you know or you don't. Either way,we do. At least we think we do.
Okay that is not the "Royal We" cause lots of us DONT'T
I'm really confused!!
Clearly, theres a group of people trying to figure some shit out, or have figured stuff out. Maybe shed some light on the ones left in the dark?
Hi Teddy bear, your hair is now read? Wow. You must put up some pictures! ^_^
Hi again everyone. What's going on?
We don't. We really, really don't. It's just that things have gotten really weird, some stuff has come to light and we're confused.
Believe me, we are so confused.
Hey BC! Yes, It's red. I was sick of it. And tomorrow, I'm chopping it all off. It's a new year, and some changes are in order. ^_^ How're you?
Kapunua, you cannot be as confused as the ones who have no clue what is going on. Well, maybe you can be. But at least you all know something that a lot of us don't know.
Hey I live in the State of Confusion.
Okay I have no idea at all what's going on but I am concerned.
Lord of the Blog (Yeah Mayo that's you) a little help here?
Okay it's weird asking you for help especially since I don't know what help I'm asking for. I guess I'm just putting my faith in you that you will protect this house. That you will protect the family.
That is all....
I have to get to bed. I'll check DM tomorrow but will not be able to answer email 'cause that takes longer on the crackberry.
I apologize. We don't mean to upset you, but we need Mayo. It's not like some big conspiracy and you were purposely left out. If you think that, that's just dumb. We were talking and we noticed a LOT of things that point to a LOT of other things that are TOTAL CRAP.
We want to keep this place going, that's all. We like Mayo. Let us do what we have to do and don't take it personally. No one is being purposely left out. Get AIM or something, you know I'll talk to anyone who hasn't basically told me to DIAF.
Hopefully Mayo will hear us. Trust us this time.
I'm damn frigging tired and stressed and going to bed.
Elena, my house is right next door to yours in the State of Confusion. May I come over for tea? =]
Mayo's is in the center of this state.
Seriously Mayo, can you help us out? Please? Just give me a fucking hand! (Pardon my language)
Okay, late to the party as usual.
What's going on?
Do I need to download AIM?
-A
Ok people, what's going on? I know most of us are clueless to some extent, but I have no idea!
I felt that called for bold.
Hope you're all well.
xoxo cupcake.
