I am captive and captured in stills, recalled and rendered in sepia toned illusion. My skin is translucent and tangible only to those with clever eyes and a mangled perception. It is there, hovering above birthdays, anniversaries, doctor appointments, and due dates that you will find me, a constant reminder to offer best wishes and maintain schedule. It seems strange to consider that someone would be ticking off days in such a way, counting down to events that I will never attend.
I am usually inspired while I do my ticking, but that does not happen very often. It is rarely with me, and I often forget…tick, tick, tick.
I am absent, and days go by while I forget. But I am drawn out soon enough. The need to move among the living, shoulder to shoulder, pulls me from my daydream. I must be just in reach. Then I wander off for a coffee, and I am reminded again, my impulsive progression brought to a screeching halt by an unfamiliar voice. The sinister tone still rings my ears “Hey motherfucker you got anything real to say?” I never do. I will though, and I will smile when I say it. “Too bad you missed it prick.”
Now that I have had a good breather, stretched my legs, and fashioned myself a clever new suit, I will attempt to remember to tick off the days.
There are things that I have yet to say, ears I have yet to perk. Shall I scream?
p.s. strange days.

«Oldest ‹Older 801 – 955 of 955I've had enough strange experiences to definitely believe in ghosts, Elena.
Elena said...
Wendy actually I won't allow a ouija board in the house.
========
Smart lady, Elena! I threw mine away after above mentioned experience and have not touched one since!
I certainly believe in ghosts. I've seen a few myself!
Poppy and her cats
Where did BC run off to?
We need her ghost opinion too!
Sounds like my kind of people, RW!
Mine too, Anon 616 :) I luvs kitties!
I'm here Wendy, just working on some layouts at the moment.
Oh no, RW. They lost their house, six of their cats and the snake during Katrina? That's horrible!
And there are thousands of stories just like theirs......
It was heartbreaking. People being forced to leave with out their pets. Most of the people that stayed, stayed because of their animals.....
Hello everyone!!
Waves!!!
Damn I'm cold!
My feet are frozen in my shoes, at least that's what it feels like.
Mayo, if i ask nice, will you warm my feet????

Hi PJ!
No fair though. I had cold feet first ;-)

New Orleans is my favourite North American city, Anon 616. It was hard to watch the whole hurricane unfold & be helpless to do anything :( My friends and I had been tentatively considering a ten-year reunion there that Halloween. Needless to say, that never happened.
You know it may sound strange but I like having them here.
I think I mentioned John before. He hung himself back in the 70's. He was older and had lots of health problems.
My daughter actually saw him first. She was only about 5 at the time and told me there was an old man upstairs in one of the halls. She said he smiled then was just gone. I had a feeling she was talking about a ghost but didn't want to say anything to her. I did later find a photo of him. His family had owned the house for years and lots of their stuff was left behind in the attic. I showed her the photo and she said that was him. Lord, love her she never asked anything else about him. Kids are so funny sometimes. Anyway I just get the feeling he's here from time to time to check up on things. Make sure the house is okay.
Then their are two little girls. They are dressed in early 1900's clothes. I've not seen them but the same daughter has and strangely enough a neighbor saw them. She asked me why I had had two little girls in costumes playing in my front yard. I really had to think before answering that one. I knew they were are ghost girls but sometimes telling people that freaks them. I finally told her. She doesn't come into the house anymore which is really funny cause the girls have only ever been spotted outside. Never in the house. The last ghost showed up only a few weeks ago. She's different. I'm not sure what to make of her.
Hello PJ!! How are you?

RW: The sad thing is that there are still areas such as the Lower 9th Ward, Lake View and St Bernard Parish that are still a mess. Abandoned houses in decay and ruin.....Whole neighborhoods still virtually abandoned.
People's lives - in a sense - rotting away :(
And so many "Katrina" pets that still need homes.
It's depressing to ride through those areas and see how little has changed over the past 2 years.
Setting in a chair, waiting on Mayo!
616 when you are done with him, send him over to me...will ya!
Wow, your house/yard is full of spirits, Elena! I've always believed in ghosts, though I'd never had any actually experiences with any until I moved to Halifax, Nova Scotia to go to university. The building I went to school in was built in 1760. It had had several uses - printing press, apartments, etc - before it because a school. Across the road from it was an old building that had been used as a makeshift morgue when the Titanic sunk & the bodies were brought Halifax (which was, I believe, the nearest port). Anyway, one day at school I saw a set of heavy glass doors open and close on their own. And where I lived (a boarding house in an old Victorian building that used to be a church rectory) I was twice woken up in the middle of the night by knocking on my bedroom door when I was the only one at home.

I know, and I don't understand it. I feel so bad for the people who live there. And I hear that some evacuees decided not to come back.
elena said...
The last ghost showed up only a few weeks ago. She's different. I'm not sure what to make of her.

Uh-oh. Do you think this one might be an unfriendly?
It sounds as though that old house of your's has a great deal of history and character!
Were you able to find out who owned the house in early 1900s?
http://www.earthcam.com
Click New Orleans, and it will show bourbon street live.
cool to watch!
I love the Bourbon cam!! I used to watch it more often than I do now, especially on nights when there's lots happening.
Same family always owned the house. Well actually this is the second house. The first was on the same spot but there was a fire that destroyed the house. Only difference in this house and the original is the kitchen is attached. Original house the kitchen wasn't attached.
Not sure about the "new" ghost. I think she wants something. I think she is here with a purpose. I don't feel threatened by her but she confuses us.

============
The main problem is that there is little affordable housing now.
Rents have tripled since the storm!
I know the city and state CAN do something about rent control, they just refuse to do so. It's the same old Louisiana politics....
CORRUPTION is the name of the game.
Evacuees have NO PLACE to return !
Perhaps now that we have a new Governor SOMETHING will be done....

Feb. 1st -- 5th!!!! That should be quite entertaining, lol!

I really hope so. No one should have to choose between their home & livable existence.
I'm off to bed, ladies...have a good night!
Goodnight Mayo, hope you're alright, darl!
SS: still can get the image of those pants out of my mind....not in a pervy way though, honest!
616, Will do!
It started here Friday, not sure if i am going this year, it started early and it's just too damn cold.
'Night DG! :D
Time for me to sign off for the night. Have a good evening and a good day tomorrow, everyone :)
I'm going to go now!
hugs to all of you!
Mayo, if you want to sneak in to night and warm my feet!
I promise not to tell!!!

I think you have a case for The TAPS team Elena!
Those guys are good!
Well ladies, it's been great 'chatting' with you all tonight and catching up a bit!
A friend of mine just called and asked if he could over. He needs some cheering up. He and his girl friend just had a huge fight.... I hope I'm up to the task of cheering up tonight!
Good night BC, Elena, RW, PJ, DJ, anonymous, anyone lurking! I hope you all warm up and have a great night!
Hugs and Love,
~Namaste~

Wendy
GOOD LUCK with surgery tomorrow OP L!!!!!
I think you have a case for The TAPS team Elena!

Have you ever watched Most Haunted, Anon 616? I love that show!
*RW signing off*
Night DG, RW, PJ and Wendy..
Back to Rock Band. I'm gonna get 100% damn it!
Goodnight PJ, RW, DG. Sweet dreams.
Mayo,
Hi, how are you tonight? I hope you're smiling. I hope you are happy and well. Me? I'm smiling as I write this to you. If someone were to walk in right now, they would catch me grinning like a jackass and for no good reason. Is this crazy person behavior? Nope, this is someone who is free tonight to do just what the fuck she wants to do. He is gone, and I am relaxed....talking with my friends, writing my note to you, and watching television. I feel good. Smirky, smiling good.
So, I guess I'll just use this time to just talk to you. How was Sunday for you? Do you feel as good as I do tonight? Are you running on pure adrenaline? I don't even want to leave tonight and go to sleep. I want to stay here....well, the porch. You know what I mean. I just want to keep laughing and smiling. I will be off work tomorrow and will use it just for me. To do anything, maybe everything, or possibly nothing.
Do you get those days very often? I don't.
Until next time, my friend.
Tonight, I'm just wishing you smiles, laughter, a heart full of love, and a night full of sweet dreams.
Love to YOU Always,
S
p.s. To feel this good all the time.
9:39 PM, January 20, 2008
Goodnight and take care Wendy *hugs*
I'm gonna continue working on my layouts. It's taking a while
Hey Mayo. Guess what?
My ass.
How is your ass by the way?
Hi Bikey babes.
Ah, my Rose! How are you?
hey gmiss t, bikey and jules.
It's seen better days, Bikey, thanks for asking. ^_^
Hey kiddies
Hi FS, Hi Jen!
So what's up with everyone?
Hi Bikey. I'm just looking for trouble in all the wrong places tonight. You?
Hi bikey, Miss T, Jen, K
I watched Kung Pow tonight just so I can get more of K's jokes, how sad is that?
That's not sad, it RULES!
I'm bleeding! Making me the victor!
WEEEE-OOOOOOO!
Hi BC, Hi Carrie!
I'm just looking for trouble in all the wrong places tonight. You?
What sort of trouble are you after?
Me? I'm an expert at finding trouble in all the wrong places whether I'm looking for it or not.
Ah, you know. Mild trouble. I was looking for bigger trouble, but MissT has computer cooties tonight.
My trouble buddy had to shut it down. :(
Well, this place is really happening tonight!
Yo! Mayo! I think your guests are bored. Come out and entertain them.
We're holed up in AIM chat. ^_^ ANd me, I'm just tired.
I know I'm bored, but I'm doing something right now :)
Oh, possessed by the evil that is AIM!
*holds crucifix aloft*
"Get thee behind me Satan!"
Hi BC Bikey Carrie Fimble Jen Kapunua MissT
(I alphabetized you!) and anyone else
how are you all?
Blog is jumping tonight,
I just got home from mopping out our office - floods gotta love em (but at least it was only an inch or so deep, workshop was about 6-8 inbches)
and TJ if you're about you have me addicted to wasabi peas!!
Hi there Ergo. Bikey, lol.
Hi Ergo!
AIM is fun Bikey, you shouldn't be so askairt.
Hi Carrie.
Hey BC, it's cool that you're getting a car. and hey ergo too, what did you cook for dinner tonight? And you're always going to the gym, what kind of exercise do you do, because you look great!
Yeah, Bikey, we make it the funnest ever. I bet we'd change your mind.
so BC would you be looking at one of those electric dual fuel cars or just all that low emission stuff for environmentally friendly?
and Elena has ghosts! I have one too, she used to live here and my husband knew her, we haven't seen her but a friends daughter has and odd things happen sometimes.
And that Hurricane Katrina situation was terrible, it's hard to believe people could be left like that in this day and age.
I mean we have areas threatened by floods and a day before they were setting up evacuation centers and they are helicopter dropping stuff to people cut off. And they are little rural towns
Hey carrie. Ha ha thanks. And to top it off, I may have to go to court, to appear as a potential juror, and if I go, I'll get paid. How about that for news? O_o
Ergo, not sure yet. When the time comes for me to start looking, I may look at both types of cars. I prefer to look first, and then try them out, and then make a decision after that. It'll take a while before I start looking though.
oh thanks carrie! *blush* It's mainly weight work with some cardio I actually found I enjoyed it but I started as rehab for a busted disc in my back.
Last night I had honey mustard pork and tonight will be beef ribs in a tomato chilli sauce (it's the one I do for crab but we decided to try it with other stuff)
I got called for jury duty once, didn't pan out. Just went and sat in a room for awhile, and ended up getting paid the kingly sum of 18 bucks. But there was a really cute guy in a long coat that reminded me of Spike, so it was all good.
hey, I had honey mustard pork tonight. Ok, ok, there might have been a little shake and bake involved too, but still. And I much prefer weight work to cardio, always have. I try to do 20 min. of cardio on either my bike or elliptical or walking outside, and then I do a weight workout too. But I'm still fat because I can't get a handle on the eating, at least so far.
Hello again everyone.
Still haven't conquered Rock Band.
I can't get past 98% and my hands hurt. Drumming is hard.
Now I really feel bad for Bob!
Carrie lol. And they only paid you $18? If I go, they'll pay me $40, but I'm just a potential, so there's a chance I won't have to go, but damn, couldn't Fate just let me handle one thing at a time? What is it with me and the fucking criminal justice thing? ;p
Hi Elena. Is rock band a hard game?
LOL "honey mustard pork."
Splash! You naughty!
Nice, Carrie.
Hey Elena, I'm jealous of your old house and ghosts. I live in a house with zero character, one of those 70's suburb Brady type houses. I want an old one, but the hubby is always bitching about how hard they are to heat and such.
hi elena and entropy
it's funny how mustard and mayo now have alternate meanings!
Carrie I much prefer weights, and you see a difference as well when you find you can do a heavier one than before. I cut out bread a lot, I used to eat a lot of carbs ( I hate saying that it sounds so trendy) but I have a lot of fruit and yoghurt and protein (esp cheese!)and meats.
I like feeling stronger. Cardio is a necessary evil to me
Hey E, you talking about Spike guy at the jury duty? Because he was niccceee.
BC it gets easier the more you play. First time I tried it I totally sucked. It's a lot of fun.
Elena, you're lucky, and it does sound like fun, but I don't have a playstation, and I wanted to try the guitar hero game too :(
Carrie he's right. Old houses like mine are really cool. Lots of history and such. But it's a bitch to keep warm in the winter and even worse trying to keep it cool in the summer. Still I love it. Ghosts and all! LOL
Carrie, I was. I've never ran into any Spike look-alike. I've seen some people try to work the long jacket thing, it never does.
Hey Ergo!
Oh guitar hero is fun. I love it. I play that for hours.
No one can work the long jacket thing like Spike!
That's very true, Elena.
some guys just have the right "look" for a long jacket
So true Ergo, so true. I could watch Spike all day.
How are you doing?
I'm good, it was sunny today so I am a lot perkier, too much rain is depressing
Sometimes I like the rain. In the Spring I love a nice warm rain. You are right though too much is just depressing.
We have a chance for snow tomorrow. I hope it doesn't. There is still snow on the ground from last time.
I've seen it's really cold there, esp in the north.
rain is nice but our yard is mud and it's been about 10 days straight
I'd love to see snow though
Ergo next package I send you I'll make sure to enclose some snow!
haha make sure it's waterproof!
Mayo
Time for me to hit the hay. Wow, that just sounds so Kansas, doesn’t it?
Hit the hay. Time for sleepy town. Not much better.
Okay, time to go to bed.
Was your day good? Did you say all the things you wanted to say? Did you do all the things you wanted to do? Or did you keep words buried deep inside. Did you let others dictate your actions? I suppose we can’t always do things the way we want but you know sometimes you just have to say “Fuck it” and take control. Yeah, that’s much easier said than done.
So if today wasn’t what you wanted, make tomorrow your day. Let your words flow; let your actions be those that make you happy. It’s not selfish to put yourself first sometimes. It’s necessary. If you don’t things get all bottled up inside. Trust me, that’s not good.
Okay enough of my theories on life. I’m good at giving advice. I’m just not good at following it.
Make tomorrow your own. Enjoy every moment of it. Cause yeah, life is short.
Goodnight and sweet dreams Elena
Right back at you BC. See you tomorrow.
Thanks. Looking forward to seeing you here tomorrow then :)
sunday night.
*floats down from the ceiling*
*notices the dust on the top of the portrait frame and makes mental note to take care of that when next in corporeal form*
*whispers*
no words of wisdom tonight mayo, again no ramble. i think you might not need them as much these days, and that's good. take care of yourself, and sleep well.
good night, mayo.
*gives portrait a fond smile and drifts off to bed*
hi mayo
I really hope you had a good day, We had sunshine for the first time in 10 days and it was lovely, you don't realise how much you can take something so basic for granted until you don't have it1
I hope the sun shone for you, outside and inside.
You know what you should do?
Add to your question of each evening with a "did I try something new today?" you probably can't everyday but if opportunity arises you should!
I did last week, and it's TJ's fault, she mentioned eating wasabi peas (crunchy wasabi coated green peas) and I then saw them at the supermarket and thought, well I like wasabi...they can't be too bad...*fingers crossed* so I bought some, bit of a shock first bite but then ..wow! What a taste!
So I have just bought some more today.
That's the thing, you really never know until you try, and food being a passion of mine it's an easy one!
So try something new, start with food if you like,there are so many amazing things in the world, you never know, you might find something wonderful!!
Wishing delight, comfort, excitement and love, to you and yours
much love
EP xx
Goodnight squeak squeak and Ergo.
morning all!!
monday morning again! god it comes round damn fast doesn't it!
its official i am fucking knackered! not the best way to start the week but oh well!!
take it easy guys, you too mayo and SS.
i'll be back in later.
Morning Mr. Mayonaise & Blogpeople!
And what a fabulous Monday morning it is - one of my best friends (21 years and counting) comes back today after going off on maternity leave. I've put up pics of her twins (and one of Frank Iero just because) on her cubicle and baked cranberry and pistachio cookies in preparation of a day of yapping and getting absolutely nothing constructive done.
And relax...
Kass xx
that sounds great kass!!
and so does the pic of frank iero!!
he he!
Good morning Mayo.
I've made a bit of an effort this morning and made myself all dressed up in blue instead of that lazy old black.
I prefer the black, I must admit, since it's often just the night sky and the southern hemisphere stars keeping me company when I'm dropping by.
My mind got to wondering today.
Wondering whether your wife knows what you do with your blog and around 50 (mainly women)bloggers.
Either she is very understanding and trusting,
or she has no idea.
I know I would get grilled if it were me in reverse. Problem is I was never made to lie. I just can not even pass off a half fib. So I live a fairly truthful life and resort to the odd ommission if necessary. Maybe you are the same and playing the game so you don't get caught and have to confess.
This could be why you post so late and stay on for such a short time.
Would you ever tell her if she asked? And how would you?
Pesky PP posing problematic points to ponder.
xoxox
Hi Brit girls, Kass and FASC!
Hi also to the work shirkers, quiet lurkers, late night lovers, and the vaguely bored.
Back in a mo.
SS,
Just simple good morning wishes to you and unspoken* thoughts to let you know you still have a warm prescence here even when you are not.
Blogbelieve = bed
SS = removed hot water bottle
*clean.
Really.
Darn, now I sound like I am protesting my innocence too much.
*goes off shaking head to think of a better analogy*
Okay I'm out of here.
You watch. The day I post one of the stupidest comments to SS ever is the day he will come by.
*flails fists on ground and wails why not yesterday!?*
Hi FASC,
It is a particularly fine pic of Mr. Iero - taken at The Download Festival with his 'sex face' on. And the twins are half-Balinese and identical so they both got those gorgeous big brown cow eyes. Awww! I want some, so if you've got one going spare...
Hi PP,
Just to say that scoring the first post on DM on a Sunday doesn't count!
I know there's a few posters whose significant others aren't exactly happy bunnies about the time they spend on here, so I often wonder about Mrs. M too - either she's a figment of his imagination or really he should be discussing his emotional crap with her. What's the point of getting married anyway if not to have someone you can unload on without them escaping short of a long, costly legal battle?
You're already feeling sorry for the future Mr. Kass, aren't you?!
Kass xx

Nicely to the point as usual.
You're already feeling sorry for the future Mr. Kass, aren't you?!
Not likely. He's going to be a lucky guy to have your witty and stimulating company.
Hope he likes half balinese twins =)
*waving at DM porchsitters as hunk of junk computer keeps dropping me off when I try to go over there*
Socky,
Hoping you are getting things sorted. Will try and pop in later today, computer gods willing.
xoxox
*fingers crossed for OP L today*
Night all.
hi/bye PP!
hi kass!
It is a particularly fine pic of Mr. Iero - taken at The Download Festival with his 'sex face' on.
am picturing it very clearly in my mind! nice!
Awww! I want some, so if you've got one going spare...
mine don't have big brown eyes though! they have geen/hazel eyes. still very pretty though!
Just to say that scoring the first post on DM on a Sunday doesn't count!
absolutely correct kass!
Either she is very understanding and trusting,
or she has no idea.
PP i reckon mrs mayo has no idea!! actually if she found out he'd be in deep shit i reckon!! ha ha! better watch it mayo!
Find the pictures of the Vietnam Press conference.
As you will see, he cannot hide his misery even behind the sunglasses.
The pictures of Frank and Gerard together on the couch, show the distance between them. It is very sad.
Damn. Damn. Damn.
WHY IS MY YAHOO LAUNCHCAST MUSIC BLOCKED?????
OH. MY. GAWWWWWD!!!!
How is everyone in BlogBelieve today? Good, I hope.
Well, I'm cold, angry, bitter and I've got a headache.
Later peeps!
XOXO,
S&V20
Oh Anon I just don't want to start my day off on a bad note so I don't think I'll try to find sadness in those pics. (but I hope you're wrong)
Hi Anon,
I saw this pic. To me the most disturbing thought is that he's only a couple of pies away from Jared Leto playing
Mark Chapman.
Apologies to whoever I pissed off the other day about the above^^ person of notoriety!
Hi everyone. :)
Ah, the Cupster is back!
How are you my sweet?
And Hello to Elena too. I get a little nervous around you as I can't see if you're still wielding your light sabre...
Kass xx
Well Kass, my possible future husband is babbling on about architecture and has been for the past hour, and I'd rather like to drive us both of a cliff.
Other than that I'm peachy keen jelly bean!
How are you blossom?
Oh and Hello Mayo, SS, Blog peeps.
Morning Kass and Cupcake.
Just because you can't see the light saber doesn't mean I don't have it handy.
Hi Elena :) can I borrow the saber?
Of course you can cupcake. Just remember it is from the Dark Side.
No problem, I plan on using it for dark forces.
How are you Elena?
I'm good, thanks for asking. How are you?
It's good to see you by the way!
Good to see you too Elena. XD
This is how I AM: my possible future husband is babbling on about architecture and has been for the past hour, and I'd rather like to drive us both of a cliff.
Oh but now he's moved onto religion vs politics.
He sounds fascinating. He isn't.
I just realized how awful I sound.
And how confusing 'possible future husband' is.
It's complicated and I find him patronizing beyond belief.

How long have you known him? 'Cos if you're bored now...
oh cupcake I've been married forever. The trick is to just nod and look interested. It's really an art form and you must learn it. That sounds bad but it's true. On the flipside don't think that men don't learn to do the same thing when we talk. They do.
Ok guys, here's the deal.
I don't love him like that. We're not even together right now.
It's a weird situation....
He loves me more than anything, I love him.... but not more than anything, and not as a lover, just as a best friend.
But I also have low self esteem and a tiny brain apparently, so I'm in this situation now, all of my own dumbass creation.
He's a good guy, but... It's not there. That spark. No lust whatsoever. Not on my part. I wish there was, it would make things simpler by far.
I've known him for about a year. We've talked almost every day for at least 4 hours, since we met.
I just can't take the tension...
I'm a ridiculous creature really.
He can't help but patronize and if I wanted to jump him, I could handle that. I've had a string of pompous boyfriends, self absorbed artists, complete maniacs. I can deal with pretty much anything.
And I will.
If I love someone like that... i can do just about anything.
Did I mention he's a tad obsessive?
Anyway, enough about me.
Elena's advice for the day...
Cupcake never settle. He sounds like a great guy. Keep him close as a friend. But don't ever marry a guy just to have someone. Wouldn't be fair to you or him. Marriage is hard enough without having the "spark". You are a beautiufl girl inside and out...
Don't settle!!! Don't fall for the "I have to have someone to make me complete." That's a load of shit.
You gotta love yourself before you can really love someone else.
Oh god I should not be allowed to talk.
See this is why I avoid it.. I babble...
I think I should go.
Talk to you all later or something.
*hugs*
xoxo cupcake
p.s Elena, thank you. :)
I know I mustn't settle.
I was just born sure that I'd die alone. It's an issue... which I shall now shut up about! lol
Bye bye.
xoxo cupcake
Cuppy,
You're way too young to settle for anyone less than you deserve, and if the spark isn't there to begin with you're lining yourself up for an empty husk of a relationship. Low self-esteem is a killer when it comes to ending up with the wrong person, but if you can hold on in there and work on you and your own headspace first, you'll naturally end up gravitating to less emotionally draining men.
Although taking advice on dating from me is like asking Jeffrey Dahmer for cooking tips, so just ignore the above...
Kass xx
Hey Elena - great minds do think alike!
Kass what is it with you and murders? LOL
Talk to you later cupcake..
Really I do want to talk to you later. E-mail me sometime if you have a chance, okay?
I am so full of shit...
Ok, I should be going but I refuse to go on that silly, scatter brained immature note.
The things I've gone through lately have clearly left me a little unpredictable.
Rest assured I am ok, I will be ok.
If there's one thing I am that's a fighter. And a lover too.
I love my family here very much.
I value your company, and advice.
You never fail to amaze me. Sometimes I feel unworthy, but generally just honored to be here.
My apologies for erratic behavior.
That's part of why I was taking a break, because right now, I'm acting so immaturely I cannot believe it.
But it will pass.
I'm trying to free myself of these doubts and fears.
TO LET GO IS TO BREATHE

Dude, enjoy your day. Make it your own.
SS - Still waiting for the answer to that all important question I asked. Gotta make sure my visual is correct. Yeah, it's important. Yeah, sometimes I really need to get a life! Take care my friend!
Kass you are one of a kind and I mean that in a good way. Gotta take off now and go shopping with my youngest daughter. Take care.
Have a great day E,
I do have a bit of a morbid streak - I once spent a rainy Sunday reading through the various torture methods on Wikipedia. I'm also immune to almost all types of cinematic or computer game violence through overexposure.
And Cupcake - breathing is definitely a good thing!

Hello all, I just want to comment on the Vietnam pics. Another anon saw sadness, but all I saw was a tired and scruffy group of guys dealing with a huge language barrier. Did you listen to that snippet with Frank? The question was very confusing, but he did his best to give a thoughtful answer. Also, Gerard and Frank weren't exactly holding hands or anything, but they did sit next to each other and appeared to be paying attention to each other. It didn't seem tense to me. I am an optimist by nature though so I could be putting a positive spin on these pics.
I also watched about a dozen videos on youtube of the Unite08 concert and all I noticed was a smiling Bob, bouncing Ray, floor writhing Frank and some great head-banging.

O_o Was this on the stage, or later?
Hello Other Anon,
I can't say I've seen any of the videoclips, but they all looked a bit fed up in the pics, so we can probably write that off to jetlag. Who knows?
I'm pretty sure Ray, Bob & Frank could play through Armageddon and put on a great performance, although you didn't mention Mikey in your concert review. Poor guy - banned from speaking by his brother, ignored by anonymous posters...

"Please pass this little note to Mayo:
Mayo,
Hey, friend, how are you? Doing mighty fine, I hope. Did you think I had forgotten about you this morning? Nah, I just slept like extra late...til 9:30. I probably would still be in the bed, but my cell phone was ringing and of course it was some fucking number that I didn't even recognize. WTF? Why does that always happen when you are trying to play catch up with your sleep?
Well, I'm off to play on the porch with my buddies! We'll talk more later.....
Mayo, I just hope you have a kick-ass day today. Now, don't ask me if that means you are actually going to have to kick some ass because that's entirely up to you.
Love to YOU Always,
S
p.s. Take names later
I didn't mean to ignore Mikey, but they never seem to focus on him long enough to get a good look.
I'm pretty sure Ray, Bob & Frank could play through Armageddon and put on a great performance,
I agree, they are professionals. They all seem the type to get up there and get the job done and make it as good as possible no matter what. It's called "wiping your feet at the door." It's not always easy (or possible) but if anyone can do it, it's those guys.
I have a question for you guys. I've always heard the term "scene" and "scene people" and all of that stuff. Like, I've heard the term most of my life. And honestly? I don't even know what it means. I know some people think it's good to be "scene" and others think it's pretentious, or something?
So, can someone define "scene" for me?
Oh, and totally off topic, someone told me that Adam Lazzara and Chauntelle broke up. WTF? That kind of blows for both of them. She was a cutie, too. And I mean, he totally wore a shirt with her name on it, so I thought they were "4 EVA!!!!11" On the other hand, not once did I see him with messages to her sharpied on his neck, so maybe this breakup was coming. Well, they have both learned for the next time: the key to meaningful romance is sharpie messages and hickies. Poor kids, I think they were just too young to know.
"the key to meaningful romance is sharpie messages and hickies"
O_O
So, that's what's been missing for the past fourteen years....
No sharpie messages for me. How sad!
I'll definitely know next time!
That wouldn't be sarcasm would it Kapunua?
Anyhoo, have a great night Blogpeople!
Kass xx
Sarcasm? Me? Surely you jest. I would never resort to such a low form of wit in order to prove a point. I meant every word. I have no idea how my own parents have managed to stay together for as long as they have when neither one of them has ever written to, on, or about the other with a Sharpie. I think they're just fooling themselves, really, or maybe they just stayed together because of me.
The same could be said for Frank and Jamia: All these years together and not a Sharpie in sight. No effusive stage declarations of "TRUE LUV 4 EVA!!!11111" Clearly they, too, are just staying together for me.
Well, later all!
SS please explain, because I don't get it.
SS is a Sneaky Sneakerson.
^_^
Maybe I don't want to play poker with you after all. You being a superhero and all, you probably have xray vision.
O_o
SS are you warm, soothing and comforting someones pain?
P.S. I like your random and unexpected comments.
^
Mayo, is that you?
Hello Mayo, SS, Kass, Possum, Elena, FASC, anonymous(es) the usual (and unusual) suspects at this time of day.....everyone!! My apologies for being a bit late this morning.
I was doing this wonderful thing called SLEEPING. I should do more of that sleep stuff. I must say it IS quite enjoyable!!
How is everyone on this mirthful Monday? I know Monday's are usually described in negative terms; but each day is what we make it, right? So....I hope we all make today a mirthful one!
Elena: That was a truly beautiful post at 2:37! A very wise woman you are... Thank you!
ERGO: WOO-HOO for the SUN!!!!
Kass: I agree with the 'wife' sentiments. Are we sure Mayo is married though???
(Non Mikey) Anonymous: Poor Mikey! He does get so little attention. I think we should all shout out a big "I LOVE YOU MIKEY WAY" to help make up for that :D
Cupcake: You are a far better girl friend than I am! I can not tolerate guys with huge EGOS. When they start wagging their fingers in my face for daring not to give them 100 percent of my complete attention and telling me HOW LUCKY I AM to HAVE THEM....how they are THE BEST thing that ever happened to me....
Well, the Susan Sugarbaker attitude in me comes out! The "EXCUSE ME.....who do you think YOU are? You have yourself so high up on that imaginary pedastal that God has to look up at you. Maybe you should realize how lucky you are to have me. Get that finger out of my face before I bite it off Mister!"
Ooops, sorry; flashback to the break up with an EX years ago *blushes*
*centering myself again and finding my inner peace*
For pondering/inspiration purposes today:
"This is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever; in its place is something that you have left behind...let it be something good."

Wishing us all a day of "something(s) good"!

I don't know but I'd like to have one right about now.
Just what exactly?
All of the above. Including the hot water bottle.
First, cuz life sucks and then you die.
Second, I'm freezing my ass of right now and I'm INSIDE!
Cold blooded damn old ladies.
Somebody HELP!!!
SOS....SOS......SSS.....SOS.....
Yes, I'm am silly, too. O_o
Hi guys,
I've only seen a few pics of MCR's trip to Vietnam. From what I can tell, it looks like the break was good for them. Mikey was even smiling! As for the picture of the guys on the couch, they don't need to be on top of each other to prove that they are comfortable with each other.
All in all, the pictures made me happy. I look forward to some videos.
SS, care to tell us who you are keeping warm at night?
Uhhhh, I think he's answering PP.
That's what I thought. She made the comment about the hot water bottle.
Thanks S&V20, I forgot about that comment from PP this morning. I was only remembering the cramp remedies from the other day.
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
Dude, I'm bored. Save me! Superhero SSS!
Ohhhh, I almost forgot, we're planning a Mayosquerade Ball!
No details yet....
Keep checking....
'Kay? Okay!
Cramp remedies??? O_O
Awww, but he would be sweet like that and help somebody out if he could. God bless him. I just only wish I had a small part of that in me. Maybe I do somewhere, I'm searching for it.
SS, you really are the sweetest guy. Seriously. I know we tell you over and over again but it comes from the heart, you know?
You are such an inspiration and just as PP said, you bring warmth and light to this place.
If you can, do me a favor. Even though you don't know me, keep believing in me. Right now, I need that more than you know.
Love you to pieces.
S&V20
