Recess.
Blaze a trail of peel-outs and back seat fucks
Into permanence, slammed beyond the thick
much too fast. Recall the whistle's urgent
cry to return from the field too soon and
pulling warm hands back, while whispering in the ears of those
confident to hold their tongues. Now it is late night
debates and those whispers are ignored.
Spinning out, into the ditch,
wheels in motion without regard for direction
full speed ahead arriving at a permanent reprieve
from the creaking knees
and loose bowels of reproach.
It comes without warning, incredible is its speed,
and it will tempt even the most
guileless to race. The truck arrives hooked to pull
the twisted spokes and reveals the fuel stain
seeped into the cracks and crevices.
Smothering the gravitational pull of the earth’s core
and even then you will float, pulled by a chain.
p.s. you felt like that?

Although your title evoked ideas of a real recess, where the only chains held the tire swing to a thick beam of wood.
-A
Yeah, at some point.
And confused, too.
you was waiting wasnt you
tuh tuh tuh
hello and goodnight. just as a was off to sleep.
have a nice sleep and stop watching you blue
cheers mayo
nighty night
I don't think I have Mayo.
Oh, and to answer your question, I never really did I suppose.
Not on a bike anyway. I was the kid that hid behind trees and read books, because I was a nerd, or a geek whatever, and never really... did fun stuff I guess.
Apparently, I was deprived.
-A
Fumble knows you be watching you some blue.
all i can say is: whoa.
Just a big jumbled mess?
Yeah, most certainly I've felt like that.
Well, I guess I'll step up to bat first.
Happy 5 Month Anniversary, Mayo.
Did you ever think we'd be here?
Goodnight and sweet dreams naughty Fimble hehe. Hello Mayo. Have I ever felt like that? Yes, recently.
Nope.
Ah, Mustard. I was just thinking about that today!
Happy 5 Months Mayo. Have we driven you crazy yet?
-A
Oh, dude, you are a master at this stuff.
I forgot about that. Happy 5 month anniversary Mayonaise.
you wrote this just fast, didn't you, mayo? just pulled it right out of your head.
i don't think i've felt that dangerous in a very long time.
maybe...
i'll give it a try again.
ok so i havent gone bed yet i wanna ask you a question mayo
what do you think about the mean and horrid attacks that go on here from the anon people to us the regs.
because it hurts and i wanna know your views on the whole situation
Squeak squeak, it sounds like it. I have a general feeling that this was written within minutes. It just seems that way to me. Fimble, good question.
but the question is whether good ole mayo will come out and share what he thinks.
isnt that right mayo
Play on, Playa. Hope you can sleep tonight.
5 months is a long time.
Fimble, if you want, we can place money to see whether or not he'll answer the question ;p
sorry anon, i think you have the wrong blog.
this is mayonaise's blog. not playa's blog.
maybe you can google playa's blog and ask him that there
Hi anon, entropy.
What do we give someone for a five month anniversary, it's paper and/or clocks for one year?
Maybe a quickly written, partial page of soft pore corn.
*yells like princess*
Eeeeelllleeeeennnnaaaa!
Nice to read you Mayo.
So did you decide to go freestyling in the end or not?
We've done a lot in the past five months.
We've done a lot of changing, a lot of laughing, crying, debating, sharing.
We've done it all.
So, thanks you guys. Thanks for being here.
And thank you, Mayo, for sticking around.
but bc, i think we already know it. choking on his own words. maybe he is the silent type at the time being. oh well.
it would just be nice to know.
Your welcome Mustard. It has been a great experience sharing it with you guys; an incredible journey. Helllooo pickled possom!
Never, I think. Probably never. Is that good or bad?
Fimble, yeah it would be.
What do we give someone for a five month anniversary, it's paper and/or clocks for one year?
-------------------------------------
Hmmm...A blowjob?
it doesn't seem like five months, though, does it? blogbelieve time is a completely different animal.
FS I think that he would say what he said when we have the fall out from MWM. It was something like you have the right to be an asshole but he doesn't have to like it.
I'll be lurking for a while. My Internet is being a big bitch. Goodnight.
Fimble Star, although your question was not addressed to me, please allow me to share my thoughts on the subject.
Never underestimate the lasting impact your words can have on another human being. Words are incredibly powerful - they have the power to influence, encourage, transform, inspire, guide, create, destroy, hurt, heal, forgive and redeem.
When unkind, cruel words are used as weapons they can be so hurtful they inflict deep wounds that may never heal or result in a scar that stays with someone for the rest of their life.
Bullying can destroy lives.
Verbal, psychological attacks are equally as abhorrent and unacceptable as physical attacks. It is an ugly, cowardly individual that will abuse the power of words, taking pleasure in hurting, belittling, destroying the spirit and shattering the self confidence of another human being.
But it is a beautiful individual with true strength of character who will use the power of words to bring happiness and provide comfort to others. Thoughtful, kind and sincere words can be used to express love, impart wisdom, resolve differences, give encouragement, share experiences and lift the spirits of friends and loved ones during times of adversity. Be strong for each other....encourage one another and achieve strength through unity.
Be deaf to those that try and hurt you with vile and vicious words.
Gosh, I really don't know if that's good or bad.
Mayo, did you leave already? Don't you like to stay and say hello anymore?
Hellllooo BC!
Hello all.
Words are the currency of BlogBelieve, anon. ^_^
Yeah, bad ass five months.
Hey Pantera. Hey everyone.
Will do, Lurky.
Thank you so much.
Fimble will, I'm sure, take that to heart.
lurky mclurker.
thank you for answering my question. you put it in words fantastic and i agree with what you said.
thank you
Take care MJ. How are you pickled possom? Hello lurky mclurker, and thank you!
Damn, now I feel the need to pull out some MBH.
That's so true.
Words are the currency of BlogBelieve.
And sometimes, we get counterfeit.
-A
No, I really do agree with you. But the thing about shutting those things out is this: the first time someone pokes you in the shoulder it doesn't hurt, you go, "Huh? What do you want?" and then you forget about it. But when people keep poking you in the same spot over and over, for years, it starts to get kinda bruised, you know?
I'm sure you know.
Thanks, Lurky McLurker. Your words are valuable. :)
Good point there, Amyranth.
I got your email, thank you so much for that. I will answer you in a bit; I have to think first. And take my dogs out to pee. ^_^
What compels someone to produce hateful speech?
What they see in the mirror, I suppose. I feel sympathy for those who lash out. That amount of ugliness is quite a burden.
But, what if it's impossible to be deaf?
What if they never stop? How do you continue to overlook it?
It truly is, Mayo.
Maybe they'll see and maybe they'll work to change themselves.
Mayonaise, isn't it? I also believe that those who lash out against others do so in order to fulfill some sort of void they have within themselves. Maybe they gain power by trying to humiliate others using words; a form of verbal abuse.
i like what you wrote lurky, very true words and insightful.
it isn't easy to ignore the harsh words, but it helps that we have friends to help us. :)
Mayonaise said...

Yeah, I guess. Mayo, have you ever said anything hateful that you've regretted? Anything hateful that you've not regretted?
That amount of ugliness is quite a burden.
Hey dude, I AM STANDING RIGHT HERE.
I'm just kidding. ^_^
Oh, the Lord, he hath spake!!! Let us all fall about ourselves.
can i just state that for a whole 24 hours it has been peaceful and just that has made my day. it gets hard to just read the blog when there are so much hated words flying around.
today i noticed that there was no anons that was mean. did anyone else notice that?
i hope that it is like that tomorrow.
i am going to bed now. i am tired and need to be up at 6.
sweet dreams everyone and have lovely jappy dreams. nighty night
mayo, cheers for posting.
Fim, we'll chat tomorrow then, yeah? I might go to bed a mite earlier tonight, too. But tomorrow, we'll have fun times. :)
oh and cheers for answering my question mayo. nice to know your thoughts on the subject in hand.,
right nighty night everyone. have fun and dont get dirty again.
xx
Anon just shut up.
*Steaks through Fimble's bedroom to show her that it IS A BODY SUIT*
You, my dear, are not innocent ;)
Goodnight FS
Night, Fim. Sleep well. And dream about fluffy bunnies.
What compels someone to produce hateful speech?
What they see in the mirror, I suppose.
actually, i think it's not so much what they see in the mirror, as it is what they don't see. people who are capable of lashing out like that aren't thinking of others, and are rarely even aware of themselves.
they aren't capable of empathy.
Fim, Splash just stalked you in your bedroom wearing what she claims is a body suit. How does that make you feel, Spirit Fingers? ^_^
good night fimble! coffee in the morning, right? ;)
Goodnight and sweet dreams Fimble. Mustard, are you streaking again young lady? ;)
K, you are NOT ugly. Anon, go suck on a pacifier.
Claim, MY ASS.
It is!
Mayo?
You don't see an ugly person when you look in the proverbial mirror, do you?
I mean on the inside?
Just made me think that when you gave your answer.
ok so why did i decide to leave then ?
and what force pulled me back?
mayo?
they aren't capable of empathy.
-------------------------------------
I am going to assume that this may possibly be a trait of a sociopath, but maybe that is too much of a stretch.
it makes me happy cos i know it is her real skin with mayo (the food kind) covering her bitzys. i see you mustard. ;)
tj, that wold be lovely. see you tomorrow for coffee hun
smell of fimble star floats off into the night
That amount of ugliness is quite a burden.
Hey dude, I AM STANDING RIGHT HERE.
LOL's to the max, Jules!
Let it be known that Fimble Star, innocent resident of BlogBelieve, shalt pay for the vile use of the word 'mayo.'
It's a freakin' body suit. You just don't wanna believe.
;)
Goodnight and sweet grease smells to you Smell of Fimble. Ha! Hey there Lucy
so, mayo -- did you have to watch the superbowl tonight?
;D
Mayo
I think it is not only what they see in the mirror, or the lack thereof, but even maybe wanting to keep themselves on top. Wanting to always be the best, even if it's only to themselves.
Always looking out for #1
-A
While I can post.
I don't feel sorry for them. They feel that it is alright to lash out at people who have done nothing to them. It is childish.
I see them as nothing more than people who only care about what makes them happy. Screw everyone else and how they might feel. As long as they are content all is well.
mayo I think I agree with you and TJ what they see in the mirror compels them to lash out without looking further.
Empathy is in short supply if someone can deliberatley set out to hurt with word or action
Bean, I make myself LOL constantly. ^_^
Splash, strangest thing. I swear to all the powers, I was out walking my dogs just now and it occurred to me to ask the same question. Only mine was more literal and I expect yours was more a metaphor. But then, I have hangups.
In light of the things that got said to and about some of us in the last few days, this is what I was wondering of our host: Mayo, do you consider yourself attractive? How do you feel about yourself?
Please you to answer either of us? :)
MJ, quite true.
-A
Nice words that really need to be put into practice around the world, Lurky McLurker.
A little kindness goes along way.
Anon, how did you know I was fallen in a deep faint at his feet?
*stands up woozily, brushes off crinolines, and gently fans self*
Squeak squeak, I didn't, but I'm happy to hear New England got their asses kicked. I know it's mean, but yeah, at this point, I don't give a shit. Hehe. MJ, I am with you there.
I don't feel sorry for people who bully others, my pity goes to the victims, but I think that parents should be responsible in that regard.
Always looking out for #1
Better than looking out for #2.
Sorry, I'm twelve.
Green happens to be one of my favorite colors.
Thanks buddy. We always need this. Especially when times get like this.
Thank you.
*WHISPERS*
Check out our buddy's page.
Kapu, let me ask you this.
Do you feel that so-called Pretty People are less insensitive?
-A
Hello again everyone and Mayo!
I was left stranded in the other room -- ALL ALONE -- except for BC & Ergo. *pout*
It was a bit scary!!
*extra big hugs for BC & Ergo*
;)
Love & Hugs to all!
~Namaste~
6/Wendy
um and I've never felt that.
in a way I'm pretty glad about that,
that was to mayo's question, though never felt the need to crush someones spirit either.
Must be connected in some weird way, Kapunua.
Good One SS.
I'd tip my hat to you, but I have none. So, here's my cat.
-A
SS a really inspiring tale
thank you.
(that's been posted somewhere before hasn't it?)
Hello Wendy!! We didn't mean to leave you alone like that. You know we love you so much, Hot Stuff! *Runs and smothers kisses and hugs on Wendy*
sooo...
geese, and frogs, and...
foxes...
you watch animal planet a lot don't you, my friend? ;)
Lurky Mclurk - you watch Blackadder?
but regardless your words are true
Could be, TJ.
We've gotten land animals, air animals, amphibians.
Let's go wild and exotic creatures next time!
*DO NOT MAKE THIS DIRTY!*

Woah SS! Totally see what you did there.
I getcha *taps side of nose knowingly*
i think we should start calling him marlin perkins.
I find it difficult to believe that any amount of contentment is gained by those who are hateful.
And it is because they care only about themselves that I feel sympathy for them.
Not that it makes a bit of difference...but, I am pretty in the most unconventional way.
and what the heck is a monotreme??
I'm glad my words make you feel better Wendy *hugs*
Would he be a host for Animal Planet, 'cause if so, I'm all for calling him Marlin.
Marlin has a ring to it.
Not that it makes a bit of difference...but, I am pretty in the most unconventional way.
all of a sudden, i have "i feel pretty, oh so pretty.." in my head.
*ahem*
sorry, mayo.
:)
It does make a difference.
And aren't we all, Mayo?
Thanks for hanging with us. It's been awhile, you know?
I hope those other frogs felt REALLY GUILTY about what they did. ^_~
That's an awesome story, and I know it's to demonstrate the power of words and all, but man, it also demonstrates that you should never accept something just because everyone else in the world tells you to.
Sometimes I feel like I'm jumping around like that, too.
Amyranth said...
Kapu, let me ask you this.
Do you feel that so-called Pretty People are less insensitive?
Less insensitive? Like, more sensitive?
Well, let me preface this by saying that I have issues, and I have a tendency to blame my failings on how I look. That makes it easier, right, because then there's nothing I can do about it.
I also have the tendency--wrong, I know--to chalk up others' success to their good looks. "If I were beautiful, I could do that, too." ALSO WRONG, I know this as well. Although there is some truth to it, at least in that statistically Beautiful People get better jobs, get careers in acting etc., it's not across the board, and to chalk others' success up to their looks is just as lame as those same attractive people relying on said looks.
I get this, I honestly do. But like I said, I have issues.
Then I remind myself: I would make a terrible Beautiful Person, because although not all Beautiful People are vain and lazy, I know I would be. I would make a horrible Beautiful Person because I would be the one who just glides by on her looks; essentially I am the laziest cow. So it's a gift, one that's made me want to be interesting, and learn to do and to be things that other people never bother to do, or to be. Like clever, a Hula dancer, a martial artist, a decent writer.
I wasn't put on this planet to decorate it, so when people come out with the "You're so ugly" junk, I should be like, "Yeah, but at least I can string words together." ^_^
Mayonaise, we know that you are very pretty, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder my dear. Beauty means nothing if the person doesn't have personality and substance, heart, and passion.
Greeting and Salutations Blog Family...
Here's a blessing that will hopefully bring peace to this space we all call Mayo's Blog.
"May the warm winds of heaven blow softly upon your house,
May the Great Spirit bless all who enter here,
May your moccasins make happy tracks in many snows,
And may the rainbow always touch your shoulder."
I find it difficult to believe that any amount of contentment is gained by those who are hateful.
And it is because they care only about themselves that I feel sympathy for them.
You just said a whole hell of a lot right there.
Playa???
How laughable, from someone contemplating cheating on their significant other

I'm glad to hear that. I know that's hard to adhere to constantly though. I have trouble with it myself.
Not that it makes a bit of difference...but, I am pretty in the most unconventional way.
You have an extra limb? I KNEW IT. ^_~
Has it really not made a difference, Mayo? Have you ever been not pretty? If not, how could you know?
back to the serious:
I find it difficult to believe that any amount of contentment is gained by those who are hateful.
anger and hatred like that just feeds on itself, in an endless cycle. people who live with that sort of miasma really can't understand that they are creating it.
they can't feel contentment, because they have left no room for it.
i suppose i feel sympathy for them, too, when i think about it. but they do it to themselves, so sympathy is about as far as you can go.
it's only when they show they have a glimmer of positivity that you can hook onto that and pull them back.
SS, beautiful story as always. Thank you for your kind words. You do watch plenty of Animal Planet don't you? ;)
SS:
Um, is it going to be "all about the frogs" now?
I mean, unless gooses and frogs get along. I dunno. I don't watch Animal Planet ;)
And Mayo, yeah, you are pretty, because I think I know what you look like.
Mayo, have you ever watched the movie Howl's Moving Castle? If not, you should watch it. Well, I tell that to everyone, but I mean, hmm. It's hard to explain, you know?
Interesting answer.
I've noticed, having been picked on myself for wearing glasses and being short, that most of the so-called Beautiful People are the ones with the greatest amount of ugliness inside. It's like they take every insecurity they've ever had about themselves, and pin it exactly on you.
"God, you're SO short, you'll never be a model."
"You know, you're almost anorexic, would it kill you to eat?"
"Curly Hair? Looks more like a Rat's Nest!"
I suppose the thing to do is to listen to what they're saying, and realize they're only talking about what makes them feel shitty about themselves.
I have no problem with myself. Sure, I could stop picking at my fingers, but we all have quirks.
I feel that as a person, while I might not adore myself, I can deal with myself. I've spent 25 years in this body and with any luck it'll be another 100 yet.
-A
Playa Anon, don't you have something else better to do?
Mayo: Wait. Please don't leave yet. Gimme just a few minutes. I want to show you something. Do you mind staying for just a few more?
Hello Emily!
It's been awhile!

toujours said...
and what the heck is a monotreme??
=========
I was just about to ask the same question TJ....
BC: I missed the 'hot stuff' the first time around! Thank you sweet cakes!!!
I always TRY my best to understand WHY people choose to use words as weapons. Why they feel the need to ridicule and belittle others. Is it an attempt to make themselves feel/look better? I wonder what demons they are battling, what's eating them up/tearing them apart -- from the inside out....
Sometimes, I come to the conclusion that some people are just CRUEL. There's really no way to understand that, is there?
I do feel sorry them though. What a miserable life they must have being filled with such hatred and bitterness.
:(
Amy, you are beautiful.
Anon @ 12:48:
That is just plain creepy.
Pantera, Just ignore it.
-A
Hey Amy.
Yes, it has. I haven't posted in a while cause my boss is a douche. I've been working over time and when I'm off I'm just so tired I don't even want to look a computer.
Hello Emily. It's been a while. How are you? Wendy, your welcome Honey Buns ;)
Okay Mayo, I've got it! I've got what I wanted to show you! ^_^
Mayo, this is the scene I wanted to show you. Go fast forward to 7:27 if you've got high speed, all right?
That's one of my favorite scenes in any movie, like, ever.
I will Amy. Thanks.
Hiya Rose/Emily. Long time no comment. ^_^
Amyranth, I try not to paint all Beautiful People with one broad paintbrush. There are gorgeous people who are beautiful in every way. because of whatever is inside them, they have not taken the easy way out. I find that very admirable. But it's hard for me to reconcile the two sometimes. ^_^
thinking aboout the beauty topic, i have to say that in my mind, there's always been a difference between being good-looking, and being beautiful.
the first is purely physical, but the second is dependent wholly on one's appearance because it's more about spirit and personality in tandem with attractiveness.
when i think of beauty, i think of something almost sacred, really.
and i never think that the "beautiful people" are usually all that beautiful, because they seem so...
lacking.
noooooo!
typo fairy changed my meaning!
but the second isn't dependent wholly on one's appearance
*facepalm*
*facepalm*
*headdesk*
You guys have a great night :)
Mayo:
Thanks again. Maybe we'll still be here another 5 months from now? It's been a great ride. Goodnight, and sleep well.
SS:
To borrow Fimble's phrase, "You're too cool for school." Thanks for visiting with us tonight and sharing your words and thoughts.
The story rocked, as usual. A great moral. Thanks for everything.
Goodnight BlogBelievers! See you tomorrow!
NOPE
Hey BC, Kapunua.
Ergo, how have you been?
Emily!!!!!
are you still here?
Emily-
.... *giggles a little*
You know, the way you usually write, that's quite a breakaway for you!
It's like having this classy, cool british accent, and suddenly someone pisses you off and you bust out the Jersey tone.
-A
Mayo you are a better person than I.
Having dealt with such people I can no longer have sympathy for them.
The people they go after are the ones I have sympathy for.
sorry Emily I was so excited i didn't read down I had to go meet the school bus
so how have you been?
Goodnight and sweet dreams Mustard. It's time for you to return to the fridge ;D
Emily, hope you're well.
No, I agree, TJ. And to me, the most beautiful people are ones that I've gotten to know, who have character. Typical beauty doesn't do anything for me.
Even still, there is a gulf between simply normal looking people and those with really obvious physical flaws, you know?
Although there's this guy I know and he's always been a really good friend to me. He says--and I believe him--that he finds flaws on a woman interesting rather than off-putting. With most people I would say "yeah, sure you do," but this guy means it. It's just weird.
TJ: I think the typo fairy is on the war path tonight.
She magically made the word 'for' disappear from the first sentence of the last paragraph in my 12:45 comment!
Someone grab her wand, QUICK!
Good night, Splash. Hit the scratchy hay!
Amy, I think the Jersey/New York accent is quite sexy. Also, the British accent as well.
Kapu, I find it hard most of the time, especially with Celebrity.
With those guys, you just NEVER know.
-A
Hello Emily and goodnight MIB
*PP seriously fails at being deep at this time of day*
Frogman, despite the intent of your message, you know your post is going to start spawning some very bad puns.
Just as well really. There is only so much you can do with an anorak and twitching.
Read you all later the southern hemisphere side of midnight.
*waves bye*
ah -- good night mustard!
i hope we'll all still be here. that would be lovely.
*Waves bye to pickled possom* Take care!
That's true, Amyranth.
But celebrities--most, not all--have an entirely different world view. it's like a whole 'nother culture, you know? One that I will never understand, never have the capacity to understand, and never want to understand.
And it just kills me how some of them started out so humble and kind. How do they not remember where they came from and who they were? Is the draw that strong? It must be.
Goodnight assorted blogizans, Mayo, SS. I can't count on another snow day to save my butt tomorrow, I'm going to have to get up and be somebody. Be excellent to each other, and party on, dudes!
Well Amy, sometimes you gotta bust out the Jersey accent from time to time (you know what I'm sayin') to get your message across.
Ergo, I've been good. I've missed all of you and your warm conversations. I'm just seriously contemplating looking for another job cause I can not stand my boss. But other than that I've been good. How about yourself? We have so much to catch up on.
P- I love to mimick accents. My best is British, like a snooty upper class.
I do a good Brooklyn accent too.
-A
goodnight mustard sweet dreams!
For me there is "classic beauty" like Catherine Deneurve (damn bad spelling) and Natalie Wood etc but I often find model good looks very sterile,especially in guys, I like a face with some character, and a lovely smile, I think a warm smile is always a good indicator of the persons inside. But real beauty is always a combination and looks can come in second
Gosh, Mayo, thank you for answering my question, and for asking us one, and then for answering more questions from us. I nearly forgot to say that.
Hey Martha.
Kapu they don't remember where they came from because they have tons of people telling them how great they are. also no-one is there to say no to them.
It is hard not to get a big head.
Emily, Yea, I getchu! ;)
-A
ah emily well we've had tonnes of rain and I've stressed over tax, school just went back and that's about it.
I have new chicks hatched.
Gosh don't I live a thrilling life!
Do you have another job in mind?
I have been wondering how you are, especially when TJ said things could happen to peopl and we'd never know, I really like talking to you
Even still, there is a gulf between simply normal looking people and those with really obvious physical flaws, you know?
well, if by "obvious physical flaws" you're talking about someone missing a leg, etc. then yes, there's a difference, but it's still just superficial.
but if you mean someone has an eye that's a little higher on their head, or a large nose, then i don't see those as flaws at all.
there is so much beauty in the world, and we narrow our perceptions to it all the time by allowing ourselves to accept a narrow definition.
...and now i am going to very carefully step away from that soapbox, because this topic is one that tempts me to step up on it, always.
;)
six, how can we hope to stop the typo fairy? she is alll-powrul.
and good bye to pickled possum! can't wait to see what'll you say when you return!
I guess you're too right, MJ.
And Mayo? Man, I just can't quit tonight. Mayo, I think you're a very fine poet. I used to think I was better than you, but now I wonder. O_O
No, you're absolutely right, TJ. But by not seeing the flaws that seem minor to you, you're also in the minority. Which is a shame.
A person is only beautiful, when their own beauty, is reflecting on to others.
True Statement...
oh and Wendy/ tj
aussie lesson #1
Monotreme a mammal which lays eggs
see platypus and echidna
found only in australasia
an infant monotreme is a "puggle"
Goodnight and sweet dreams Carrie. Amy, if only we can hear your fake British accent. The Brooklyn accent reminds me of this one waitress who served me at a diner a few years ago when I went to Jersey for the first time. Ah, good times :)
Goodnight Carrie and Amy.
physical beauty is very subjective, physical flaws may be a big thing to one person but not another, but inner beauty moves so far beyond that
it is in the treatment of others you see a persons best and worst
Hello Emily and welcome back!
Possum: I recall reading a story similiar to SS's; but the one I read didn't have such a happy ending. There were four frogs stuck in a barrell 1/2 filled with water. Three of the frogs gave up and drowned. Just one froggie made it out of that one alive. And he lived only because of self determination....
I think I like SS's frog story better!
goodnight carrie and amyranth !
sleep well and awaken refreshed!
I find that a persons personality is what makes a person beautiful. for me.
I am attracted to their looks but if they have a hateful personality it ruins it for me.

Aww man, I just have to give this one to someone else. Go for it. ;D
Ergo, I've been looking for work in another state. I think its time to move away. The hustle and bustle of nonsense every single day is driving me mad.
My boss is just abusive to me. I feel like my work is never appreciated and when she needs favors she always expects me to hop to it. She's a fucking a bitch (excuse my french) and I just got to get my shit together to make the transition.
Hey P, maybe I'll record it sometime, and embarass the living hell out of myself.
Kapu, I think some of them become blinded by beauty. S.N.O.B.B if you will. (Snooty Nitwit Overcome By Beauty.) They go from being well received to exceptional, and are suddenly surrounded by other exceptional people. Once you're classified like that, it's hard to be seen any other way. The normal people don't like you anymore because you're better than them by osmosis.
I never get to use that word enough. Osmosis.
Mayonaise, thanks for staying around for a bit. Have an extra chocolate tonight for our Anniversary, okay? I know I will!
Also, to my fellow UA freaks.

Goodnight my Darling Family.

that makes me kinda sad, kapunua. there's so much juiciness in the world, you know?
it's so easy to close down to it -- it happens to me all the time, whenever a storm takes over -- but i you just open up a little, it's a really beautiful place, this world.
i think we're conditioned to think material = bad, spiritual = good, but they're really two sides of the same coin.
there's a quote which expresses this idea of the partnership required, it's a quote about art, but i think it can be applied to everything:
"where the spirit does not work with the hand there is no art."
- da vinci
omg. how did i get on the soapbox??
D:
Goodnight and sweet dreams Amy. Ergo, MJ, I agree. Wendy, my Honey Buns, where have you been? ;)
Thanks for the Aussie lesson #1, Ergo!
Platypus, I know -- Monotreme, I did not - but now I do, thanks to you! ;P
Ohhh and you have some new chicks on the farm???

OOOHHH!! I KNOW!!
THE LOINS!

anon it is emotional but it's also in the mind, one doesn't rule the other and a concious decision has to get made
feelings exist regardless of intention but what is done with them is the crux of the matter
Here is a song that goes with the topic.
When I saw you at the grocery store
you were sharing a shopping cart with her
and I couldn't turn and run away
I didn't know what to say
you introduced us for the first time
and I had to look her in the eye
but you could not imagine my surprise
can't you see you're leaving me for an ugly girl
does she talk about politics and all the stuff that used to make me sick
does she smoke cigars and stay up late oh she's so great
does she tell you what you want to hear
and I bet that she can grow a beard
I'd feel better thinking you were queer
it's not fair I can't compare to an ugly girl
ha ha ha the jokes on me
I feel jealous and I feel mean
is she so nice that it makes up for her face there's no way
do you have to keep your eyes closed
do you have to keep the lights down low
oh I bet you wish you had a blindfold can't you see
you're leaving me for an ugly girl
Anon, it does? Mama Mia!
good night carrie, and good night amyranth (i will checking out that link most assuredly).
thanks for the lesson, ergo. i am enlightened. :)

I agree, TJ. I'm in love with this place. No, not BlogBelieve, I mean the world. I'm disappointed in much of what is going on ("May you live in interesting times" is another double edged sword,) but for the most part I couldn't be more exultant to just be. You know?
Amyranth, I agree. But you notice how it's only some and not others who get sucked into that SNOBB trap?
Rose/Emily: Get yourself out of that situation. That kind of stress isn't worth any amount of money. Best of luck to you.
Jeez Amyranth, get it right.
MY ASS.
yes wendy I have 5 (6 but one died) and they are all black bar one which is white. I hope that one is a hen she may turn out light red, have to see when the proper feathers start
*helps TJ off soapbox*
*puts soapbox aside*
emily sometimes you need to bite the bullet and make a change, you can't talk to her?
Where would you go?
(I know some US states but I usually get my atlas out!)
but for the most part I couldn't be more exultant to just be. You know?
yep, i know. and i believe you, because i've seen your photographs. it's obvious you see beauty out there. :)
Kapu, my training has slipped. I DO apologize.
And now, it really is bedtime. The cat is cranky. SS, I'm taking him back before he makes you miserable.
Goodnight, AGAIN, everyone!!
-A
*helps TJ off soapbox*
*puts soapbox aside*
bless you!
*phew*
Emily, I agree with Ergo. If you feel unhappy with your current situation, you should make some changes and see where it goes next.
goodnight this time again amyranth!
Good night Amy and anyone else who left to seek the sandman. Sweet dreams!
BC: I was trying to answer your "Where are you?" question on the last post; but blogger kept eating my comments!
I'm home BC. As for where I've been, well -- that's a secret.
LOL!!!
Just kidding *wink* I did some parading (again) today!
I really should go finish the details on my Mardi Gras costume. It's not easy for someone who doesn't know how to sew! I hope the darn thing doesn't fall off on Tuesday!!
*note to self: bring lots of safety pins*
Good night to all... BC, Ergo, TJ, .....
everyone.
Have fun ladies and Mayo, SS and Bikey (where has he been, btw)!
Love & Hugs to all!
~Namaste~
6/Wendy
Thanks Kapunua.
I'm trying to stay strong. Hopefully I won't break and depart on bad terms, but there's never any guarantee is there?
Emily is there anyone above your boss you can talk to?
good night, six -- remember, a glue gun is the non-sewing costumer's best friend. :)
Wendy you will have to post some pics. Mardi gras sounds like so much fun!
I remember talking with you about the beads and all!
have a great tomorrow!
*smooooch*
Gosh, Toujours, thank you so much. I've never considered myself much of a photographer, but I do take photographs neurotically, to hold onto those breathless moments. That damn camera is always in my purse I don't leave the house without it.
Amyranth, well, just... *spank*
I'm going to bed, too, so goodnight, BlogBelieve.
Goodnight, Lurky McLurker, and just, thank you. Very much.I absolutely will remember your words if and when that junk starts to happen again, and that alone will make me smile. Long days and pleasant nights to you. *Tips hat*
Mayo, thank you, too, for the question, the answers, and the poem. You know I love that kind of stuff. I hope you will have a restful night, Mayo. I hope that your whispers aren't getting ignored.
Sdock's going to get a lot out of this post and will have a lot to give back to you, count on it. ^_^
To everyone else who listened to me prattle tonight: Thank you for all of your insight and perspective. You guys make it worth the wait. :D
emily if you stay calm and put it as best you can , doing all that "I feel..." rather than "You do..." and try and state your case it's the best you can do.
Sometimes bad feeling is unavoidable but you can try and limit it.
Act before it goes too far
NOPE
Then, hold the hand of the one that links to your metal and be happy goddammit
Goodnight 6
goodnight Kapunua, have a good Monday
Goodnight Amy.
Well, I live New York but I'm contemplating moving to (don't laugh) New Jersey. I have lots of family spread all over Jersey and honestly they all lead much more calmer lives then the life I lead hear in the city.
Also, I'm practically in Jersey every month or so to visit my sister so I might as well just move.
Goodnight KApu

============
A GLUE GUN!!! Hot dang! Why did I not think of that???
Thanks TJ! I'll TRY my best not to injure myself with the thing. I do seem to recall glue guns being dangerous in my hands.
;-)
I promise to take tons of pictures for ya, Ergo! I want to see some pictures of the baby chicks.
Good night again all!
Well I'm off to bed. Goodnight.
I wish there were someone above my boss I could talk to Martha, but nope. She's not only my boss but also the owner. So, that's pretty much my anguish in a nutshell.
