Seasonal Affect
Three months ahead
It gets deep.
The measure remains
Uncharted
While dirt stains
Underneath, waiting warmth
Will rise again.
Spirits lift eyes
Renewed
To the skies
A blazing rage
Hammers shoulders
Covered in paste.
Saved
In the haste
A death produced
Yellow orange glow.
To waste away
Piled
For another day.
Because I am feeling rather optimistic.
p.s. do not be fooled by imitation spread.

«Oldest ‹Older 601 – 800 of 1515 Newer› Newest»hey BC!
I was chosen to be a 2008 ambassador for the company I work for; meaning I'll get to travel around to different cities and make some extra cash! It should be fun!
Pie of Magic, I drink to your gravy!
Hugs back to you, KD.
And that was very nice what you wrote. I think he was always a softie, he just didn't want to admit it... :)
Love,
L.
Congrats, Magic Pie!
The travel would be the best part I would think. Plus the extra money.
Three cheers!
Love,
L.
Oh hell, is that the time?? I should have been in bed an hour ago!
Have a great night, everyone! If you dream of dancing skeletons, think of me ;)
hahaha, nice one Mya! That made my evening.
Just read your news, Magic Pie! CONGRATS!! :D
Magic pie, wow. Congratulations! (hugs* :)
Mya to Mayo, with head lowered in reverence, "Sorry about the 'Up Yours, ******', but I hope you will have the common decency not to mention I said that."
Goodnight, RW. Thank you for the link. We are going to look for the CD.
Sweet Dreams!
Love,
L.
Goodnight Mayonaise, thank you for your kindness
Thank you, OP!!!! I sure am getting the "big ups" today!
Slightly behind the times, but wanted to share this: favorite classical piece of the moment.
Goodnight and sweet dreams, RW.
KD, aww that's good. Out little Mayo is becoming a big softie indeed. You guys don't mind if I go "Awww!" ^_^
Hi there redrum, unheard.
P.S. Mayo, keep it up with being a softie. I love it! I know you have a good heart :)
Goodnight, RW. Thank you for the link. We are going to look for the CD.
I recommend the version by James Ehnes, if you can find it. iTunes has it.
Sweet Dreams!
And to you :)
BC, did you just say that little Mayo was going soft?!
Damn...
Hello everyone. Very long time since I've been on, I know. I've managed to break my computer....Again.
Mayo,
Are you spirits up? Hope so. Spring is coming, it makes me excited to see that the cold and bitterness of winter will soon be gone. Time to watch everything become new again, and wake up in the morning and feel the dew on the grass.....That's always the best part for me.
You can probably fool me quite easily.....I'm not the brightest light bulb in the bunch. But I try to look at things with good judgment and help to the best of my ability. Maybe someday it could help you?
I'm going to ramble now. You know something that's funny about seasons? In the fall, when everything's dying, it's so beautiful. It's so stale, and radiant, I love it. Never figured out why though....
Blogland...What a strange place. It's like life, but everything is heightened. Kind of like when you stand on something, and feel like you're higher than you actually are. It's a crazy feeling. I remember when I was very young, and I used to climb this maple tree with my friend, and then we would have to come down, because it was time to go. The drop from this particular branch seemed to never end when you were dangling from it...And if you were on the ground, you laughed at the person hanging there, scared to let go, because the drop was actually, what? Like two feet? So you would yell "Just let go already! You're taking too long!!" And if you were hanging, and you finally let go, this incredible amount of relief and accomplishment came over you. Even though you only fell for about two seconds. That's what blogland is like. Sort of, I guess. For me at least. Anyway Mayo, and everyone, thank you for takign the time to read this.
Congrats to magic pie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And NO YOU DIDN'T just say, "Keep it Up!" to Mayo!!!
ROTFFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!
thank you thank you thank you BC and RW!!!!
BC,
I will probably regret this but I just gotta...
He can't keep it up if he's going soft...
Oh, the shame...
L.
thanks miss t!!!
Slightly behind the times, but wanted to share this: favorite classical piece of the moment.
That's lovely, Redrum! I shall have to watch the video in it's entirety tomorrow.
Okay, am heading to bed now. No, really!
Congratulations Magic Pie! wonderful news
Goodnight RW!
Redrum, that is a very impressive piece. I am listening to it as I type. That you for your recommendation.
And now Alive is talking about "hanging"...
Say... Just what kind of place is this, anyway??!!
Haha, you know what I meant mya
L
Sorry I just have to say this
He is only soft in the right places ^_~
hahaha I'll be saying thank you all night if this keeps up!
Thank you Katherine!
Alright... OK... I can drink to that too!
Your welcome Magic pie!!!I could see that I said something wrong didn't I? LOL.
OP L, Mya:
LOL!! You have no idea how much I'm laughing right now!! :D
Mayonaise, I'm so sorry for saying that. Damn, I didn't think my words would turn out wrong XD
Hello alive. How are you?
BC, who said they were wrong?!
sorry for the delay in reply -- i lost cohesion right before 600. guess i'm ecto-tj once again!
kapunua:
"TJ: like tomorrow or maybe Friday soon."
*whew*
cool cool cool, because i'm looking forward to this one! i hope i can make ragdolly riddler as cute as he needs to be. *grin*
i took a peek at your 1-up fairy kapunua, and i have to say, that fairy clearly means business. *heehee* you're really good at showing the mood and emotion of your characters, you know. it's great!
i'm psyched too, because this story of your's is fuuuuuuun! XD
the version of the four seasons that i've always listened to is by the prague chamber orchestra, but i'll certainly check out vanessa mae. there's another version i'd dearly love to get, but it's hard to find -- called kyoto vivaldi, it's the four seasons done all with tradtional japanese intruments. it's the most beautiful thing.
okay, floating up to the ceiling now. you may all resume your blues!
11:07 PM, January 16, 2008
I'm doing fine, (Except for the fact that I broke threee keys off my keyboard)and yourself?
you said something wrong, BC? I'm confuzzled.
Goodnight everyone, see you all tomorrow.
Goodnight Miss T :)
Goodnight, Miss T.
Please let us know if you hear about your job.
Sweet dreams to you.
Love,
L. (and J. squeaking from the couch)
G'night Miss T :)
Elena is staying out of the conversation because she is pure of heart.
Yep, so not gonna say a thing....
Notice how I didn't say pure of mind .....
OK, since I don't know how to do the blue linky thingy that ya'll do, I'll do this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqSulR9Fymg&feature=related
TJ NOOOO! Don't float away!
I'm superpsyched to see your drawing. And superpsyched that you thought mine was passable. I was going for a mood to that character, so I'm honestly very flattered that you saw that in there. That means a lot to me. Wow! ^_^ I'm grinning.
Mostly I'm so pleased that you're enjoying the story. It's such a bit of fun for me and I'm glad if it's making other people smile, too. :D
Umm, I love koto music, well, I love most Japanese instruments. I've actually got a ridiculous amount of Japanese CD's (I admit: i listen to J pop as well O_o ) so Kyoto Vivaldi sounds right up my alley. I'll look that up.
Oh man, I think you'd love Vanessa Mae. If you get the chance, check out her version of "Storm." It's an eargasm.
Well, I'm off to bed everyone! I'll catch you all on DM tmorrow.
SSS: When you come around again, I have two fantastic jokes to tell you. Have a lovely night!
Mayo: You picked the coolest thing to quote, and it came from the most golden person on here. *high fives* Have a good night!
Good night, BlogBelieve!
Goodnight and sweet dreams Miss T, RW. Miss T, good luck with the job!
magic numb nuts(lol) one of my earlier comments, I said to Mayo "I like you being a softie. Keep it up!"
And I think mya and OP L were making a laugh out of it, but I'm not sure. I thought I said something wrong :D
Mayo:
In case you're still about--I've often wondered where I would be had I not come across this place. I've asked myself most days of the week.
I never have an answer either. I'm never sure. I just know that when I'm here, I'm getting closer to the ultimate goal of okay. I never get there, but I get closer.
Some days aren't as good as others. Those days usually consist of us not talking about Ray Toro, like, at least once ;). Only kidding. But, in all seriousness, some days here just aren't pleasant. But, somehow, some way, something always happens, either you post or our friend shows up, and everything falls right back into place.
I just want to thank you, from way deep down, for letting us stay here, for letting us continue to be a part of this. Even though I can't ever come up with that answer, I know that I would be much less happy had I not met these souls.
What I wrote for solely for you tonight was part of some of the things I was and am dealing with. I didn't know who to say it to, so I said it to you. I hope it finds you well, and you take it to heart, and you remain just as you are. Changing for anyone only makes you feel worse. I know.
So, anyway. Thank you for everything you've done and for everything you haven't done. It really can't be replaced.
Goodnight, Mayo. Sleep well.
Sweet Dreams, Miss T!
Goodnight K.
Ummm, good night everyone who is leaving, have a goodnight.
My daughter just showed me how to do that!
who wants to take bets on if I'll remember it or not?
I think I am going to head up to my room as well, guys. J. is full of prescription cough syrup so she may think she is ALREADY in her room. Love to the Family, and sweet dreams to all!
Mayo,
Thank you for posting Mustard's words, and for your kind words to us. You don't know what it means to us to know we have made a difference in your life, as you have in ours. We joke with you, we fuss at you, we worry about you but most of all, we love you. I know you truly understand that. You are our Mayo, and we are your Lovelies.
I love you dearly, Sweetheart.
SS,
As always, love to you, and sweet dreams. J. has left a new post on our blog if you would like to read it. Take care of yourself, and drop by here when you can.
Its all about the love,
L.
Mmmm, well I have to go now...Danm me for coming on for two seconds all the time. Maybe I will return tomorrow. Have a good night and a good day if I don't talk to you all before then
Goodnight and sweet dreams Alive.
Goodnight and sweet dreams L. I hope J will get better soon!
G'night OPs!
G'night, Alive!
Everybody is going to bed...
pfft...
bunch of light-weights...
Shit...
It's just now 11:30!
"We goin' pitch a bitch at leb'm-thirdy"
Goodnight Kapu, Miss T and L!
Damn it! My linky problem. Oh well, it was Gustav Holst The Planets OP.32, Mars The Bringer of War.
Mya, Richard Pryor, right?
Carrie, yes ma'am! The best comedian ever!
I'm sure there is no one here that likes acoustic guitar solos...
check this shit out!
hi carrie
I still have all the albums (yes on vinyl) I stole from my parents. And the Steve Martin ones too. Unfortunately, my Aunt Lisa sat upon the Bob Newhart one and it is no more.
Hey BC
Ooh, I almost ordered a Bob Newhardt for my Dad at Christmas! Oh,and I'm waiting for George Carlin's AMandFM and Class Clown to come in. We have these on vinyl, but I want the CDs
Here's a little "ditty" I think Ray Toro should do on stage next tour:
Paganini Caprice No. 24
My parents didn't have any George Carlin, but my Dad is still bitching about that Bob Newhart album (I think it was called Button Down Mind or something) and that shit happened over 40 years ago!
You never heard any of the early George Carlin? You need to, it was great!
Not so much of the albums, more like isolated routines, like the ones that everyone has heard like the seven? words you can't say on tv.
Carrie, I notice you don't have a blog home... I'm worried about you... Do you have a place to stay for the night?
Sorry, that was sort of a take on a line from one of my favorite movies. I didn't mean any harm by it.
night blogbelieve, have to get up early in the morning to tote my kid to school!
Wow, TJ AND Mustard!
I wonder if Mayo is reposting his favorite things about us?
-A
Oh, sorry Mya, nope, don't have a blog, but I do have a home. :)
Goodnight and sweet dreams Carrie. Hi there Amy.
"Can hardly even hobble through a Paganini caprice. Utterly useless."
-A
It's snowing, it's snowing...
Doo-dah, doo-dah...
Amy...
Say wah?
Hey Fire.
I guess the grey names didn't help. I see TJ'S gone Ecto again.
-A
Mya
*gapes*
*blinks*
*wobbles*
You mean you didn't pick that on purpose?
-A
I'm sorry I'm dumb to what the reference is... What is it?
Yhellow?
Amy, yeah, it seems the black names don't work that much.
The Umbrella Academy, Issue #1.
00.07 - Vanya Hargreeves
All six of her brothers and sisters have powers. She apparently does not. On the inside cover of Issue #1 she is described by her adoptive father as:
00.07 - No discernable talents. Some enthusiasm for music, but mediocre skill - can hardly even hobble through a Paganini caprice. Utterly useless.
I won't ruin it for you, but it gets more interesting from there.
-A
NO SHIT??!!
Cool....
Mya, indeed.
I kept meaning to google Paganini, and now I know.
I like it actually.
-A
Mya, have you read the umbrella academy yet? I just got an email today and I should be getting issue five in a few days. I'll let you know how it is :)
Fire, I'm really interested to find out how it ends in six issues. Right now I have WAY more questions than answers.
-A
No, I haven't read the Umbrella Academy...
But, you know... all of us "cultured" people know about paganini and panini and all that shit...
Mya!
I LOVE panini's!!
.... wait....
-A
Amy, I feel the same, but it appears that after the six issues, they're gonna start working on a new set, but yeah, I'm looking forward to how the first arc will end. I think the last issue comes out next month.
Fire, that's the sad part. Waiting for the new series to start.
Am I the only one that thinks Spaceboy and Rumor were involved, or are going to be at some point soon?
-A
Amy, yeah, it is sad, and the worst part is, we don't know when the next set will be released. It sucks. As far as Spaceboy and Rumor is concerned, I have to agree with you. I think they were involved as well, or maybe they will be soon?
Damn! I'm getting lost in YouTube! I've gone from classical pianist to violinist, to guitarist... I've watched some Steve Morse, some unknown Asian guitarist...
Damn... I envy anybody that can play like that!
Their fingers just seem to glide, effortlessly, all over the damn thing!
Wow mustard!! Awesome!!
hello I'm not sure who's about!
I got home from a very nice day shopping, even groceries and it was hot and sunny - but of course still raining at home- haha
Can anyone give me a short summary of the day?
and did we give up on the not signing in?
Ergo, I gave up on not signing in. TJ'S gone ecto again anyway.
This is weird, maybe it's because Mayo's blog is so high traffic.
-A
hi amyranth and I know BC is there.*waves*
I see Mayo posted, cool. Wonder what he learned from me?
and ecto TJ I shall go about searching for you!
Hey Ergo...
The weather is making it almost impossible to be here. Snow and wind. Not good. So if I suddenly disappear you will know why. So how are you? Still telling shark jokes?
Hello, Ergo!
Mayo posted something mustard said (see his main page) and then he commented:
Mayonaise said...
Know this:
I have learned so much from each and every one of you.
Your worth...It is immeasurable.
January 16, 2008 10:37 PM
As John Travolta once said, "Ain't it cool?"
Mya, I envy anyone that can play, but that's always the way.
The artist envies the actor's ability to speak without a paintbrush. The Actor admires the musician's ability to make a thought into music. The Musician is in awe at the artist, who can take mere thoughts and make them beautiful.
And it goes on.
-A
Ha ha Ergo. Hi there! *waves back*
hi elena and mya!
elena you have snow I have rain!
did you get my parcel yet?
how are you mya? I saw MissT's comment too, I think mayo must read a lot more often than we ralise
Damn, I don't see how he has the damned time or inclination! I can hardly keep up with all this shit! How does he do it??!!
Oh, shit! That reminds me...
I want to ship something to the UK. What is the best and least expensive way to ship something that is about 1 - 2 lbs?
Ergo, you've made risotto right?
Does the alcohol cook out of it, or does it stay in?
-A
Mya, I don't know that he keeps up with it, I imagine he probably reads the relevant bits. Or maybe only the parts addressed to him.
I can't imagine he's like the rest of us, itching for the next blog fix.
-A
There's alcohol in risotto???!!!
Mya updates her grocery list
No parcel yet, Ergo. I'm super excited for it to arrive.
One of my cats just wanted out. I opened the door and suddenly the cat took one look at the snow and changed his mind! Can't blame him. My daughter said that when she was driving home the snow coming at the windshield made it look like she was going into hyperspace.
alcohol has a boiling point of about 78C (172F)so as long as stuff is heated higher than that it's gone, so in risotto it all cooks out.
Anything that boils will cook it out but low heat won't
sounds like a waste of good alcohol to me...
Mya said...
There's alcohol in risotto???!!!
Mya updates her grocery list
BAHAHAHHA!!
Yes, there is. Depending on how you cook it it can be as little as half a cup, or as much as half a bottle.
Mine usually goes:
Some for you, some for me, some for you, some for me, some for me, mum for see, me me me....
And then I'm drunk.
Yep. I love cooking.
-A
mya you usually add it after the rice is fried then the stock.
(but if you pour it in at the end it'll be there!)
actually amyranth you tried this?use red wine and mix a tin of chopped tomatoes with the stock, very nice
Hi there Elena. There's alcohol in risotto? Wow. There's something you don't hear everyday O_o
Leaner,
I took one of my cats out to the snow and put her down on the drive way. So funny! She took about 4 steps and then slid sideways. All 3 animals are sleeping in the house tonight.
Some for you, some for me, some for you, some for me, some for me, mum for see, me me me....
YES!
Ergo, I made my first red wine risotto on ... Saturday, with just red wine and portobello mushroom stock, and it came out amazingly!
My favorite though it White wine and Broccoli.
How many people on here have never had a risotto?
-A
I make "pate" every Christmas. I HAVE to. It is tradition. My extended family DEMANDS it! Especially since the year I made it and mis-read the instructions: 2 tsp. Bourbon.
I added 2 T. and EVERYBODY loved it!
ooooh yum!!
mya - always cook with a glass handy!
you guys ever seen a british chef called Keith Floyd? He always sloshed wine while he cooked, I'm sure he got blotto on tv!
and a cat sliding sideways would be hilarious
Amy, I never had risotto. Ever O_o
Isn't risotto like a rice shaped pasta?
blotto? There's me a new one!
Mya, it's hard to argue with pate that has 2 TBSP of Bourbon in it.
Also, no, it's not pasta, it's arborio rice, a short fat grain, that is incredibly glutinous. When it's cooked it releases that gluten and makes the rice creamy, but not sticky. Then you add parmesean cheese for flavour. It is one of the best dishes I've ever made.
-A
no that's risoni - rice pasta, you make risotto with arborio raice it's little and very starchy
people recon risotto is hard but it's not, takes some time but it's worth it.
Oh, Shit, then! That sounds right up my alley!
Mya updates gorcery list again
mya -
pissed as a newt?
it's funny in the US you say pissed for mad but here it's drunk, pissed off is mad
ducking funk?
It is 1:50 am.... There is at least 2 inches of snow on the ground and the sleet is beginning to fall... Obviously, there will be no school or work tomorrow...
Should I have one more drink?
Ergo, you aussies have tons in common with us Maritime Canadians.
Mya, my risotto never takes any less than 45 minutes. I've timed it to ALMOST exact, but I find risotto to be a two person thing. I try my best to prep everything first, but I do need an extra set of hands from time to time.
Also, I wasn't confident about doing it until I saw it on a cooking show here. It's BEYOND easy, but you need patience.
-A
What is blotto?
"3 sheets to the wind"
You gals think you're all that, talking about your risotto and all... Well... I'll have you know that grits take patience too!
Harrumph!
blotto = drunk but usually on wine
I bought 3 green sand crabs to make chilli carb tomorrow mmmm
and I'm doing a greek mince kebab platter thing with salad and hommus and tzatsiki tonight
I've never made grits.
Risotto is the only thing that takes me 45 minutes by itself.
Usually my other meals take a half hour, total.
-A
I was JUST KIDDING!!!!!!!!
Oh, I thought you guys left me!
Whew!
Ergo, I think I'm gonna have to come have dinner with you sometime! You sound like quite the cook!
Blotto... Yeah, that's what I am...
Ergo, you're fancier than I am!
I usually do Shepherd's pie, Spaghetti and meatballs, chicken and baked potatoes... I'm a meat/veg/grain kind of girl.
-a
MYA !!!
please explain grits to me!
we have nothing like that here and I don't know what it is, but I always hear it on tv and movies.
Grits is/are very similar to polenta
Wow, I just found a recipe for peanut butter cups!
Nom nom nom.
-A
sorry for the deleted comment! My linky thingy didn't work!
I wanted to share a picture of my grandmother with ya'll. I have it on my Myspace.
oh mya you took the link away, but I may say she looks awesome!
Chilli Crab is dead easy
green crab pieces, like clean it and then chop it, fry them in 1/3 c oil 2 mins and remove (to change colour)
add to oil 1 tsp minced ginger, 2 tsp minced garlic 1/2 c tomato ketchup 1 tbs sambal olek (or minced chilli - more or less) I tbs brown sugar 1/3 c water cook 3 mins add crab and cook 8 mins. It's also just a great chilli sauce (if you do shrimp though cook them separately and add at the end if you put them in the sauce it goes runny)
Ergo, you mean you were able to go to it?
Damn, that recipe sounds great!
I saw it I just had to sign in, she looks amazing!
OH, OK! Thanks!
Yes, she does, doesn't she?
She is so amazing!
Of course, that picture is old...
It was taken last year when she was a mere 105!
a spring chicken!
my gran turns 91 next month and she's still up and about, hope she can get to 106!
So, you have a myspace?
Alright, my bedmate is howling. Must be time.
Talk to you ladies tomorrow!
Goodnight Mayonaise!
-A
P.S Mya go to www.foodnetwork.ca and just type chocolate peanut butter cups for the recipe.
Goodnight Amy, sweet dreams.
Good Night, Amy! Sweet Dreams of those peanut butter cups!
Hey... BC... You still here?
You been awfully quiet! I can't remember exactly, but aren't you sort close to me? Are you getting snow?
OMG! They're ALL gone!
Was it something I said??!!
Shit...
Y'know what, Mayo?
This place is sort of creepy when you're all alone...
Too Spooky for me!
I'm gettin' the hell outta here!
Sorry, Mayo! You're on your own!
Mya, I'm still here, just looking at some sites. Sorry for leaving you alone
Mayonaise?
I can breathe again.
Can I come home now?
GS, where have you been? *runs to GS and gives her a big hug* welcome back!
BC
sorry Mya BC elena I had a big rain storm and lost connection so I've only just gotten it back, there was heaps of rain still lightning about, you can see how long for from the times!
so
toujours said...
hey mayo,
that really was kind of startling to be nattering on tonight and suddenly see your comment when i posted mine. you must have secret passageways all throughout the place, huh? *grin*
my personal theme these past two years has been one of transformation. do you know the tarot? i've had the fool card up in my devotional space ever since the divorce, to remind me to step off the cliff, happily and willingly. i stayed on the safe paths too long. and i think i'm actually getting the hang of it now, at last.
but i marvel that transformation is played out here, too, where i hadn't expected to see it. i feel it in myself, and can trace so much of it back to this place and the alchemy of blogbelieve. i see it in others, as well. and of course, we all see it in you.
i don't think what is happening here is transformation the way we normally think of it -- the make-over, changing one thing into another (better) thing, a magician's trick. i think it's transformation the way an egg is transformed into a chick, the way a seed is transformed into green growth and bright color. it's real transformation, real magic. we are all learning how to become ourselves without fear, how to have trust in our true selves, all in our own ways.
it is astounding.
and, honestly? i'm excited to see what's going to happen next. i haven't been on the safe path since i first became "toujours" here, and i'm finding that i like not knowing what's around the corner. sure, sometimes it's a small-minded anon trying to irritate, but hey, sometimes, it's you.
well worth it, in my book. *grin*
good night, mayo. hope your feet are taking you around some interesting corners these days, happily and willingly.
goodnoght all, no post from me Mayo, too risky
wishing love peace joy and delight
to you and yours
much love
ep XX
Morning Mayo,
Immeasurable, eh? That's a bit ambiguous.
Are you saying we're so fabulous you can't even begin to contemplate it lest you give yourself a tumour, or is it a euphemism for "if I actually said how insignificant I find you all, you'd never forgive me and I'd have to find another hobby. I've already conquered the 'World of Warcraft'"?

P.S. Am I the only one puerile enough to find 'Spunk's' poems quite amusing? Reminded me of early Yoda, and you know how much I love my Yodles...
Morning all.
Hi kass.
Re : O2 dates
The Eagles are a confirmed booking to play the O2 on the 20th March, so I'm guessing the other three MCR dates may be incorrect as well. The Swedish date has been proven incorrect that came from the same tour list.
*pops Kass's 'hopeful but unconvinced' balloon without any glee*
I'd be pretty much filthy grumpy if those dates were real. Frank has been saying in several interviews now he will be getting married in March 2008.
Something that important to him as his wedding (no backstage quickie for him and Jamia - good on them)that has been planned for nearly a year deserves the respect of having his friends attend, and not have his friends in the crew or band say they can't be there because they are on tour.
The fact he has the date he proposed tattooed on him shows how much the actual day will mean.
*groans at revelation of obviously reading Kerrang and BN*
Solly the SuperLovely said...
Please pass to Mayo:
Mayo,
Good Morning! How are you today? Warm and willing to make this the best day ever, I hope. Me? Don't be alarmed by my perkiness. I'm just trying really hard to wake myself and get psyched for the day. It's working pretty well for me so far. I'm trying to cook some breakfast. My choices are pretty slim to nothing seeing as how I didn't make it to hell..I mean Wal-Mart this past weekend.
Okay, so I am done with breakfast...I am also washing a load of clothes and getting ready for work..all while typing this note to you. Dude, I am like a superhero!!!
Mayo, I hope today that both you and I are able to see everything. Everything our world has to offer, everything we have, everything we are able to accomplish. Let's see it, look at it, embrace it, and feel grateful for it all!! I'm betting that both our lives are pretty damn full.
....of faith, hope, and love.
We'll talk more tonight.
Love to YOU Always,
S
p.s. Pretty damn clear today.
Good morning Mayo, Possum, Kass, channeled through Ergo - TJ, Ergo (herself), SS, folks on the porch, studious readers of blogbelieve!
How are you all today? Thursday, right? Will it be a tepid one or will it be a tireless one for you all? Me, I've yet to decide ;-)
OP-J: Your poem is beautiful! Thank you (and L) for sharing it with us.
MissT: Wonderful post! Thank you for speaking UP for those who feel unheard and under appreciated!
(ALL)Unheard(s): Never feel like your voice does not matter - ANY WHERE. Never let anyone make you feel less valuable than any other person. Never be afraid to state your opinions and stand up for your beliefs!
Your opinions DO MATTER. Your advice IS valuable. Your voices are heard! You ARE IMPORTANT!!!
Mayo: Thank you for dropping in (your own place) to make everyone feel welcomed, wanted and valued!
You're kind of growing on me....
Possum: The anticipation is good; but the actual arrival is always better ;-)
Kass: I LIKE SPUNK!!!!!
To ponder today:

Respect:
Letting a maximum number of views be heard regularly is not just a nice philosophical notion. It is the best way any society has yet discovered to detect maladjustments quickly, to correct injustices, and to discover new ways to meet our continuing stream of novel problems that rise in a changing environment.
And because you can, in fact, show LOVE & RESPECT to those you do not agree with or particulary (as some say) like:
Love, Hugs & Respect to all,

So to the housework,
Gnothi Seauton!!!
Nice to see you back!!!!!

Mustard@9.22pm
*PP taps foot*
*hands on hips*
*...*
Just joshing with you =)
Nice to see your words at the front door.
To the Sweet little excited anon@7.33pm,
You made me smile. If you read everything like I do I hope you see this. Over the last four months I can't recall Mayo ever actually indicating his birth month. Even if it were April it would not define the owner of this blog. For arguments sake, there were 6,602,224,175 people at the 2007 census. That averages out at 550,185,348 a month - 18,339,511 for each day in April. Break it down to an average life expectancy to determine the number of people per birth year, 85 as an example = 215,759 per date in April, (please excuse my wildly inaccurate use of statistics) and you see how it could be one of many people.
*mathematicians groaning worldwide at PP's maths*
That doesn't even take into account people who lie about how old they are. Mayo could be an old grumpy dude with dogs sleeping around his ankles for all we know.
I loved your enthusiam and appreciation for the band though. They're pretty good at what they do, and are a great live band as well.
You may have more luck contacting Warner Reprise or Riot Management about US dates.
Take care
PP
MissT,
Your 7.11pm comment was concern and love personified for those friends of yours.
*sees MissT's heart glowing like ET's*
*MissET?!?!?
Sensible and Sweet.
Hmmm......I feel like singing now!

Morning ERRRRRRBODY!!!!
I gotta say this just flat out.....
Frank will be the most adorable groom in the whole wide world. To know that taking that step means so much to him and the fact that her name has been written permanently on him twice.....
She's one lucky girl. On the other hand, she must be pretty damn special so maybe he's the lucky one. Who knows?
I wish nothing but happiness and the best for them! Yay Frank!
Now, my friend Mayo.
Mayo! Why do you wait until I've already gone to bed to come on here????? I'm starting to take it personal. Well, I guess I shouldn't. It's not like I could have gotten on here to begin with since Blogger has effed up my universe. >_<
So you like Mustard's comment. I did, too. Pretty good advice isn't it?
Well, have a lovely day, Mayo-man.
I'll be sitting on the front step..
Staring down the road...
*Princess is a George Strait fan.
What? I can't help it! I'm 89% Dixie!!!!
Hugs and kisses to errbody!
XOXO,

Yikes....I forgot to say:
WELCOME BACK GS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great to see you again!
Good morning Anonymous :)
I hope you have a great day too!
Hi PP & Wendy,
According to NME.com, MCR will have an album out late this year: Photo number 14. I'm not convinced about an 2008 release, but...
In the accompanying article G-Way states that they're going to be more "punk-rock" and that his recent "amazing" marriage is affecting his songwriting. But he did warn us!
The following was posted as a reply to Loveman's blog (Compassion post, 25th August):
"Like most of MCR's output, it is death-obsessed, a byproduct of Way's Catholic upbringing.
But Way says, "I might be through with that subject." He looks forward to refocusing the band "and come back with completely fresh ears and say, 'What do we now want to say?'"
Through with death and despair? But will all the teen kids relate to if you start singing about LOVE. Fresh ears..? The kids just not good enough now. Bigger and more. Pffft.."
And so it came to pass....
Lord help us!!

Marat Safin, the most beautiful human being I've ever seen in the flesh, and the most convincing argument for the legalisation of human cloning is out of the Aussie Open tennis, losing 4-6, 4-6, 6-2, 6-3, 2-6 in the second round to Marcos Baghdatis.
A moment please...

Morning 616.
Nice view from Mr B with regard to love and respect.
One thing we have to remember here is that people come from all types of lifestyles, upbringings and countries to converge at Mayo's.
There may be people from small communities where there their voices are taken note of and considered, but find not so big here, or a big city person who has had to be louder than the others to be heard amongst the hustle and bustle of a larger population. Others just go with the flow, some are extroverts, and some have always been the quiet one no matter where they live. Jokers, cynics, sadness, sexiness, laughter. It all converges here.
We have to adapt to the nuances of different lifestyles and backgrounds and not read comments as aggressive and dominating, nor reticent and uptight.
If we disagree with someone, listen to what they have to say, and by all means express your point, but don't ever devolve the argument into personal critiquing or anonymous slagging.
We are better than that.
Respect and love.
*Turns the bird into a dove*
Goodmorning Mayo :)
Dude, it's kinda funny. I'm a shitty sleeper. I can't ever fall asleep when I need to. Things run around in my head so fast that I try to keep up with them, and that makes me unable to sleep and sleep well.
I have you know last night was not a problem. My head hit the pillow and I thought to myself, "Maybe someone will get it. Maybe I can help change someone while trying to work on changing myself." It felt good, something I had never felt before.
The planets were ALMOST aligned. I didn't get ignored by AIP, and that makes them all smoosh together the way they're supposed to.
So, thank you again Mayo. Thank you for what you did, and thank you for allowing me to sleep soundly. I'm feeling bright-eyed and bushy-tailed as we speak. Have a good day, Mayo :)
GS!!!
Thank you for coming back. And this may sound weird, but I'm glad you can breath again :)
Goodmorning everyone here!
Good Morning Mayo
Sorry you got no goodnight from me because the weather took my Internet last night. (I know you really were wondering LOL). I awoke to a winter wonderland. (Trying hard to sound perky) About 6 inches of snow. Yeah, it looks pretty but.. So anyway, just wanted to say once again thank you for telling us how you feel towards us. Even though most of us think we know how you feel it feels damn good to hear you say it. Hope your day is a good one. Hope you don't have to shovel snow! Take care and if you do have to go out into the cold (assuming you are somewhere where the weather is cold)just remember the warmth of this house. I know the place warms my heart.
Interesting photo choice by NME to go with the 'even crazier' comment, kass lol.
*confesses to knowing little about tennis other than rackets and balls - often not connecting in PP's case - but gives kass a hug for her abject misery*
A death produced
Yellow orange glow.
To waste away
Piled
For another day.
But, don't you wish you were a kid again and could run through them without repercussion?
In that sense, they aren't really "wasted." They come alive again for just a second. Then they fall back to the ground to start the cycle all over again.
Beautiful and tragic.
Sorry that I left in a rush last night. My mom couldn't find the cat and as usual, I panic when we can't find her so I booted it.
And just like I came in, I now must leave...in a rush!
*waves hi at sweet anon, princess, MP - admiring her speed entering and exiting Mayo's, and Mustard...*
Oops, hi Mayo.
*swears quietly underbreath at rude manners*
*feels like in a train station with all the comings and goings today*
Hi there anon,
So do you hang around here often?
Apparently not that often lol
Well I better be out of here too.
Night all.
SS,
If you are lurking around here somewheres, I'm on a lyric quoting kick this morning...
*Princess is now listening to Grand Funk Railroad and The Doors.O_O*
Well....
You're Some Kind of Wonderful!!!!
or
People are strange, when you're a stranger....
Alright, we'll see what comes up next. I'm scared now.
Ramble much? Yes, all the time.
Hope you are having a great Thursday so far. If not, let me know and I'll come up with some lyrics for that, too. ^_~
Love you to pieces!
XOXO,
S&V20

30STSLOL,
Firstly, Hi! Apparently the tour dates outside South America are a bit of a wind-up, see PP's comment @ 7.28am.
Secondly, High! You seem very "jappy" and that makes me "jappy" too!
Kass xx
Mayo dear, thank you for what you said last night. I have learned so much from every lovely soul in this family. We are a crazy bunch and our hearts are huge. I think we all fit nicely together here in blogbelieve.
It makes me happy that you still like it around here. This is always YOUR home. We will always be here for you as long as you need and for each other.
Did I see GS here last night?
GS, I've missed you!!!!
Mustard, that is so cool that Mayo posted your quote. I love what you wrote about SS too. And SS wearing his underwear outside his pants... *snickers*
So if the MCR tour dates are right, ummm they will be in Hong Kong for my birthday. I guess they didn't get the memo that they were supposed to play for my birthday party here in blogbelieve. Oh well, I'll let it go this time. ;)
