Rush.

I am expended. I have given my soul to you and, without question, you deserve it. I am rewarded by my investment and I know I get more out of it than you. Regardless, at the end of the day, I know its worth.

I am reminded that not so long ago I was so afraid of death that I taunted it, begged it to take me on. For a little while, I allowed its insidious grip to hold my soul. I was seduced by chance and by choice.

Temptation will always tug at my better judgment. I have been successful at averting my attention from ruinous behaviors toward the seemingly benign. Still, I question whether I have just shifted gears rather than changed lanes.

Perhaps I will again fall prey to deaths seductive whisper and allow myself to be captured by the romance of self destruction. It is wise to consider that I tempt fate. The alternative is blind supposition.

For now I am anchored to the rocky bottom. I will drift, but I will not be carried out to sea.


p.s. it takes hours to come down and the fall may lead to my imperfection.

Mayo,

Hey, how are ya? Smiling and full of happiness, I hope. Me? Still sick....sick enough to leave work. I never do that. I slept for like 3 hours this afternoon, and I think I am about to crawl back in my bed and do it some more.

Of course I had to drop you a little note. Writing to you and visiting with my friends is like my own little home remedy to feel better. Casa de Mayonaise is chicken soup, OJ, and aspirin for my soul.

I am going to leave you with a quote that I found. When I read it, I thought of you.

"Resolve to be thyself: and know, that he Who finds himself, loses his misery."

Mayo, May you never stop learning. Learning from others, learning from the past, and learning new things about yourself.

Love to YOU Always,
S

p.s. Missing my spot in the corner.

Amy, I get many spiders at my house. They don't really bother me though. I just let them crawl on my walls

And just in case someone asks if I ever got bitten by any of the spiders, the answer will be no.

There was nothing wrong with that cheesecake...

Original Punk J said...

Hello, Everyone, how's it going?

SDock, I have to tell you, I just about fell out of my chair when I saw the quote you left.

"Resolve to be thyself: and know, that he Who finds himself, loses his misery."

The reason I did was because this is from a poem that only a couple of days ago I was reading and it made me think of Mayo, too! I had planned on posting the whole poem tonight, so it is below. Amazing that it had the same feeling.

I hope you are feeling better, Sock, and taking care of yourself. Love you,
L.

SELF-DEPENDENCE
by Matthew Arnold

Weary of myself, and sick of asking
What I am, and what I ought to be,
At this vessel's prow I stand, which bears me
Forwards, forwards, o'er the starlit sea.

And a look of passionate desire
O'er the sea and to the stars I send,
"Ye who from my childhood up have clamed me,
Calm me, ah, compose me to the end!

"Ah, once more," I cried, "ye stars, ye waters,
On my heart your mighty charm renew;
Still, still let me , as I gaze upon you,
Feel my soul becoming vast like you!"

From the intense, clear, star-sown vault of Heaven,
Over the lit sea's unquiet way,
In the rustling night-air came the answer:
"Wouldst thou be as these are? Live as they.

"Unaffrighted by the silence round them,
Undistracted by the sights they see,
These demand not that the things without them
Yield them love, amusement, sympathy.

"And with joy the stars perform their shining,
And the sea its long moon-silvered roll;
For self-poised they live, nor pine with noting
All the fever of some differing soul.

"Bounded by themselves, and unregardful
In what state God's other works may be,
In their own tasks all their powers pouring,
These attain the mighty life you see."

O air-born voice! Long since, severely clear,
A cry like thine in mine own heart I hear:
"Resolve to be thyself; and know that he
Who finds himself loses his misery!"

Hey Splash. How'd you guess? Is it because I've never used the eff word? (My mom is reading, can't write that in front of one's Ma!)

Amy: Wow, that's pretty harsh. Got a friend with all kinds of diseases myself.

Oh, so check it out, here's what's new in Kung Fu. There are two seminars coming up, one locally and with Escrima sticks (fun!) and then another one which, I have no idea what we'll be learning, but it is in China Town! HOOTAH! I haven't been there in about two years. So we go and train in a kwon in China Town, and then afterwards we all go out for dinner.

AWESOMENESS!

Sifu was taking pics and videos of us tonight to put on our web page. If he ever gets around to it, I'll post a link. It was a good class, we were doing an awesome drill and Sije's dog keeps flashing his nuts all throughout. (We train with a semi-resident dog on the floor with us.)

Guys! My Mom and Da are going away on vacation so my Mom won't be lurking for about a week. Awww. But she will call me and ask what's been going on here 'cause she's kind of hooked. ^_^

Thanks Ergo! I will tell my folks of your kind wishes. ^_^ They are heading off to Disneyworld for their anniversary. They love it there like WHOA. And they don't really do much aside from walk around, talk, and people-watch. It's just where they like to be with no worries (although my Mom calls me everyday, and calls my Gran everyday, as I take over the Grandma duties such as making sure she takes her medicine etc. while they are gone.) It's so nice for my parents to get away though, because they are always so busy.

But they are both going to miss the blog while they're gone. We had dinner together tonight and even my Dad was getting into it. My Ma was all, "and then Fimble Star posted this hilarious story...!" and my Da is like, "is she one of the ones who is nice to you guys?" It's hilariopus how they keep track.

Oh, and the funniest is when my Dad asks my Mom, "Is that rock star guy still saying disgusting things on stage? Didn't you guys used to think he was nice? Why's he gotta say things like that? It's not right. Is that the one Jules met?" (Which I didn't. ^_^ Well actually I kidn of did, really briefly; doesn't count as "met.")
