Well, I tried charming my nephew for half an hour (even used the batting eyelashes trick); but, it did not work. So, I just let him play his video game until he couldn't keep his eyes open any longer! ;)
While In Vegas,we observed the entire wild life scene; human, animal and…?
•Lion Habitat •Bird Sanctuary •White Tigers •African Lions, that were massive •Leopards And the newest and cutest baby dolphin, “Sergeant Pepper.” Most likely named in honor of CIRQUE’S BEATLES LOVE MUSICAL?
It soothed the savage beast and stilled her hemorrhaging heart, for at least a few blissful hours. I really don’t know if this is harder for me or RB?
However,on a lighter note At the Mirage, I noticed- they have a Bare- All pool; surrounded by lush bushes full of beautiful flowers and tall trees, baring mostly fruits and nuts.Ha! (Lame nudity humor) `sc
Martha Jones said... Yes make up is a must. So it will be either Th or KH. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Well, I'll be cheering on Kill Hannah! They've been around a long time and have 'paid their dues', so to speak.
hey all caught a few little fish to put in the dam, not a lot but we'll try new tactics next time
SC how lovely to see you the animals sound amazing and best wishes to RB
MJ I saw the pregnant guy on tv just before, his wife (who is female ) had had a hysterectomy so can't have kids so he/she decided to be the pregnant one.
just back from the first day of bamboozle, and it was awesome. it seriously was. i was on my own -- my "concert buddies" decided they wanted to shop or something. *pft*
their loss.
there were only a few bands appearing today that i knew i wanted to see, so i just browsed all the others. it was great! the best discovery was streetlight manifesto. their sound (full-on rock, but with jazzy horns) actually caused me to take a sharp turn and make a bee-line to the stage. :)
best show was...um...jimmy eat world was good, but i think for me it was the bouncing souls -- the crowd was great! and when they played "true believers" i actually had goosebumps. i especially wanted to hear that one live *grins at ss*, and then the camaraderie in the crowd during the song just made it truly extraordinary.
tomorrow's the big day -- tons of bands i want to see (i'm actually going to figure out a schedule for me to see if i can possibly fit them all in!), plus...you know...that one band...the one with all the songs about dead people? with the lead singer that chicken dances?
Have fab day tomorrow! Iw ent to Muse and MCR alone as I couldn't get anyone to go with and had a ball! You can always find nice people to chat to or just rock out yourself1
hey MJ BC no triston tonight? Must be busy misting up somewhere else! And no angel? Hope she is well
Oh I just saw Charlton Heston on the news! He was a great
Hope you having fun on your adventure, please tell all.
Tomorrow, if you come across a dark hair Angel, of course dressed all in black; hazel green eyes, a smirk, hard rock attitude and yet sensitive soul. Give her a high five and then an evil eye for me. (laughs)
Running Bird alongside her Golden British love, will be among the air-guitar playing and scream-o singing people at BL.
Damn, she will probably lose her voice, again and I will have to cater to her every whim and need while torturing her with my homemade tonics. (evil smile) `sc
soulconnector, one of the things i love about going to these festival shows is how easy it is to just talk to strangers. it's like a big party (even if you aren't drinking!). i hope i get a chance to talk to her -- but only after i grin/evil eye her, of course.
heh.
ergo, i love getting comments on my lj! it was great to see a blogsib there! and you just know that you're going to have to put me up on your couch some day. it's inevitable.
Well I missed my girls tonight! I made it home without any stalkers following me...well for the most part..and I didnt get tackled again on stage...so I am feeling intact!! Hope everyone has a GREAT Sunday!!! Damn the only thing on TV right now is Baboons...that sux. OHHH I like it when Wendys on top! ;)...and yes I have been after her for a longggg time ;) And Hello SC and Martha...I am going to hit the coffin!!
Good night/morning/afternoon Mayo, SS, Martha, TJ, SC, Ergo, the usual suspects for this time: Possum, FASC and Kass, lurkers and sweet spirits of blog believe!
TJ: I'm so happy to hear you had such a nice time at BL! I hope today is even more adventurous and exciting for you. Be careful, love!
SC: It was wonderful reading you and catching up a bit! You take care, love!
Ergo: Did you catch the big one? More importantly, did you the scothch back with you? ;)
Martha: Wishing you wonderful dreams and a headache free Sunday.
My (late) poetry contribution: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Go to the forest Go to the mountains Go to the far sea Let loneliness caress you Until your skin is thin enough So thin that your heart Can see me through it That I was the one who caressed you Who caresses you, Go, go.
By: Tommy Tabermann
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Isn't that beautiful? I think it is. :)
I hope you all have a splendid Sunday!
Hugs and Love, ~Namaste~ 6/Wendy
PS ~~ some words of wisdom from Mr. Tabermann:
Elämä on epävarmaa, syö jälkiruoka ensin. (Life is uncertain so eat your desert first.)
time for me to go to bed, i'm afraid. having access to a computer again is too tempting, and i'd rather just sit here all night and truly catch up on everything, but tomorrow promises to be a full day, and it starts very early.
i wrote in my lj about how today was actually a quiet day for me -- because i was on my own for most of it, and it left me feeling centered and open. today was a feast.
from people-watching to chatting with strangers and band members and of course the music, ever-present even if you weren't in front of a stage, everything was a feast. i was honestly enjoying myself too much to feel lonely.
and in fact, at one point during the afternoon, i was taking a break near the main stages, sitting with my back to a fence and eating frozen lemonade. and then i realized something -- the fence marked off the bus area. i was sitting with my back to all the tour buses. the bands were behind me, right on the other side of that chainlink fence.
that sounds fangirly perhaps, but the realization was actually that all of us there, everyone walking around in front of me, as far as i could see, and everyone behind me that i couldn't, we were all partners in this grand glorious day. this celebration of life and music and the sheer, fierce joy of living.
magic.
and tomorrow i get to see the band that casts the best magic circle i've ever been in.
that's what's important to me about this trip, really. everything else that's going to happen -- visiting family, meeting friends, travelling -- is good and important, and no doubt about that! but the core is this feeling that i'm growing something within me. i'm living my priorities, and the act of that will be something i can gather up and carry into the next phase of my life.
and when i'm standing in front of a stage, at anytime during this month, with the music beating open my chest and filling me up, that's the feast that will give me the strength to step out and be myself and live my life exactly how i want, how i must in order to satisfy the callings of my spirit, at long last. i've "wanted" to be a writer for so long, "wanted" to be an artist for so long, all my life.
this month marks the change from a diet of shoulds to a diet of what's true.
no more wishing. no more self-help pep-talks. just feasting, and stepping out along my path, with long strides.
yes, all that from travelling around on a greyhound to see concerts. *grin*
will you feast tomorrow, too, mayo? will you open your heart to the rushing magic of the lives that surround you?
i hope i'll be able to come and talk again tomorrow night, but i can't say for sure. i know i'll have regular internet access at my folks next week, so keep your fingers crossed that i can cadge some connections in the meantime!
hi SS!! not sure what the make a wish refers to cos i've not caught up at all! but nice to see you've been around and turned your lights back on!!
hi family!!
i'm back from my brother's. had as fun evening with him and my sis in law. a late night was had by all and i'm feeling a little ropey today but it's all my own doing so i won't complain!!
hope you are all having pleasant sundays. i will try to pop back later on!!
hi/bye martha!! glad you enjoyed the gig. lewis emailed me and said she did look out for you but it was a little crazy!! and alot of fun! and she got a mikey fuckin way t shirt!! i am sooo jealous!!
Thanks for the review MJ. Sounds like you had a good night =)
It was interesting to hear about Billy Talent live. They've never toured here but two of their songs did get airplay. Fallen Leaves, which had a rather interesting accompanying video and Red Flag Probably not much point in them coming here now as interest has tapered off...
FASC, *sets up speed traps and nets* Catch you tomorrow!
Time to dash already. Sometimes quickies just have to do. Nothing wrong with that ^_~ Have a great remainder of your weekend everyone ^_^
I'm about to leave for a bit but I'll be back later.
Have a great day everyone!
Mayo,
Sunday is supposed to be a lazy day so stop doing whatever it is you're doing and come talk to us today. ^_^ Ya know, if you want to.
SS!
Dude, we're gonna make millions of BlogBelieve dollars off of you. And we have Mustard to thank. So blame her. And RW had a hand or a toe in it as well. Hee-hee.
Smoke's toenails and they were very long and I was telling her they need to be cut.
Talons
Muahahahah!
(I bet Frank got his ass kicked for making fun of Mikey.)
SS: No, don't listen to them. This is going to make you a huuuuuge star. HUGE. I'm working on getting you an agent and all of that shit, so you just sit back, remember the vocals, and we'll be ready to go.
I wanted you to know I love the way you laugh I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away I keep your photograph; I know it serves me well I wanna hold you high and steal your pain
‘Cause I’m broken when I’m open And I don’t feel like I am strong enough ‘Cause I’m broken when I’m lonesome And I don’t feel right when you’re gone away
The worst is over now and we can breathe again I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away There’s so much left to learn, and no one left to fight I wanna hold you high and steal your pain
‘Cause I’m broken when I’m open And I don’t feel like I am strong enough ‘Cause I’m broken when I’m lonesome And I don’t feel light when you’re gone away
Anon, oh man, I don't know if you were thinking of Mayo with that one, but I swear today I was going to find all kinds of pictures of light from different angles and post them with some kind of joke about lighting the way back for Mayo to post another entry. ^_^
Aww man, those two boys look so much like Mama. O_O
Couldn't agree more. Facial bone structure, their eyes, everything.
Only one thing though: How did those two boys, Gerard especially as Mikey kinda sorta had blonde hair as a youngster, end up with dark hair while Mrs. Way has blonde?
Splash, Mikey is still blond, he's just dark blond. Most blond hair gets really dark as you get older but is still technically blond. My cousin had white blond hair when she was a little girl but now it's dark brown; she's still a blonde though.
Maybe their Da has brown hair. And don't forget, Gerard probably colors the bejesus out of his hair, too.
Clouds roll by Reeling is what they say Or is it just my way? Wind blows by, Low light Sidetracked, low light Can't see my tracks, Your scent-way back
Can I be here all alone? Clear a path to my home Blood runs dry Books and jealousy tell me wrong All I feel, calm Voice rolls by, Low light Car crash, low light Can't wear my mask, Your first, my last
Voice goes by Two birds is what they'll see Getting lost upon their way Wind rolls by, Low light Eye sight, low light I need the light I'll find my way from wrong, what's real? Your dream I see
I know, but her hair is blonde, like, really blonde. Mikey's isn't that light.
Closest Gerard ever came was a pixie cut and a bottle. ;) (I thought that look was cool, I'm just sayin'.)
It's probably from their dad as you said.
Hey guys, does anyone know if you can get tattoos on your palms?
I've seen it done, but I think you risk it fading and having to get it redone time and time again. I think there's also a chance of the ink running. But, I don't really know.
What have I to say to you When we shall meet? Yet— I lie here thinking of you.
The stain of love Is upon the world. Yellow, yellow, yellow, It eats into the leaves, Smears with saffron The horned branches that lean Heavily Against a smooth purple sky.
There is no light— Only a honey-thick stain That drips from leaf to leaf And limb to limb Spoiling the colours Of the whole world.
I am alone. The weight of love Has buoyed me up Till my head Knocks against the sky.
See me! My hair is dripping with nectar— Starlings carry it On their black wings. See, at last My arms and my hands Are lying idle.
How can I tell If I shall ever love you again As I do now?
You guys are actually right about the palm tattoos, I googled it and most people say the same thing. Ahh well! It was a cool idea, I was going to get bird footprints tattooed on my palms.
Anon, you're making me want to post pictures for Mayo. ^_^ ANd nobody wants that to happen. ;D
Love has earth to which she clings With hills and circling arms about— Wall within wall to shut fear out. But Thought has need of no such things, For Thought has a pair of dauntless wings.
On snow and sand and turf, I see Where Love has left a printed trace With straining in the world’s embrace. And such is Love and glad to be. But Thought has shaken his ankles free.
Thought cleaves the interstellar gloom And sits in Sirius’ disc all night, Till day makes him retrace his flight, With smell of burning on every plume, Back past the sun to an earthly room.
His gains in heaven are what they are. Yet some say Love by being thrall And simply staying possesses all In several beauty that Thought fares far To find fused in another star.
Let the world stop turning, Let the sun stop burning, Let them tell me love's not worth going through. If it all falls apart, I will know deep in my heart, The only dream that mattered had come true ...In this life I was loved by you. Bette Midler
And this one is hot in every single way. ^_^ I know Mayo loves the light; I do too, but I especially love the fire. And my fetish for boys who dance with it is kinda well known among my sphere. ;D
You can only hunker down so long & then the wind dies or rushes on to some other place to do its damage & all that time you've been huddled there together holding your breath, hoping against
wildest hope that up aboveground nothing you love has been blown away
hoping with a deep longing the wind has cleared the air &
for everyone in blogtown and one very special someone
Starlight by William Meredith
Going abruptly into a starry night It is ignorance we blink from, dark, unhoused; There is a gaze of animal delight Before the human vision. Then, aroused To nebulous danger, we may look for easy stars, Orion and the Dipper; but they are not ours,
These learned fields. Dark and ignorant, Unable to see here what our forebears saw, We keep some fear of random firmament Vestigial in us. And we think, Ah, If I had lived then, when these stories were made up, I Could have found more likely pictures in haphazard sky.
But this is not so. Indeed, we have proved fools When it comes to myths and images. A few Old bestiaries, pantheons and tools Translated to the heavens years ago— Scales and hunter, goat and horologe—are all That save us when, time and again, our systems fall.
And what would we do, given a fresh sky And our dearth of image? Our fears, our few beliefs Do not have shapes. They are like that astral way We have called milky, vague stars and star-reefs That were shapeless even to the fecund eye of myth— Surely these are no forms to start a zodiac with.
To keep the sky free of luxurious shapes Is an occupation for most of us, the mind Free of luxurious thoughts. If we choose to escape, What venial constellations will unwind Around a point of light, and then cannot be found Another night or by another man or from other ground.
As for me, I would find faces there, Or perhaps one face I have long taken for guide; Far-fetched, maybe, like Cygnus, but as fair, And a constellation anyone could read Once it was pointed out; an enlightenment of night, The way the pronoun you will turn dark verses bright.
For days, weeks at a time, i lose whatever it is which keeps my senses softened to the sentience of the earth, to hillside grass running lightly before a silver wind or a far slope rippling like a muscled shoulder or how the gradine, faceted pebbles under me will rasp as i ease in closer, resting my back against the rough-skinned body of a gliricidia.
All this can suddenly go without a hint like a room slips into darkness with a passing cloud— except, i don't know how, it happens with no slippage of the sense of self. On drizzled mornings, when a silver fluttering beats to a white rush down the hills, i can believe that seraphs bear the rain to us. By afternoon, wind has lost color, stones are exactly stones, the green ascending hill has stiffened into a surveyor's gradient. The names by which i used to call the earth to come to me have hardened in my mouth to scabs.
Who was it then who saw the wings of seraphs? And who is looking now, squinting with eyes of quartz? i want to understand how, inhabitants of the same life, they do not know each other, they have never met; how, looking out of the same windows, they see different worlds. i want to find a way that they may see each other. i want them—the glint-eyed one of rationed sight, the other, dream blinded even in the day's light— to meet and in that meeting learn a threefold vision that hopefully i may translate into new lines of language, lines braided from their voices and my own speaking together, an utterance which, if even for the duration of only a few words, will speak our earth original again into creation.
Dedicated to the star who shine's so bright. You are not alone, you need to find your light. A lot of people have faith in you.
I Am Confused In My Thinking
Sometimes i feel I'd be happy if i were as dumb as a stone I am confused in my thinking but in that i am not alone Many others out there like me who ask themselves who am I? We live confused in our thinking and confused in our thinking we'll die.
Listening to talkback radio confuses me all the more People with different opinions trying to each other outscore Seems they are all trying to tell me that their opinions can't be wrong They confuse me in my thinking I'm not so mentally strong.
Very confused in my thinking and mixed up as mixed up can be Yet there are many more out there who are as confused as me Each with their different opinions who is wrong and who is right? Yet i am certain for many that life is a hard uphill fight.
I am confused in my thinking it's a confusing World we live in Sad to think that some have to lose out just so that others can win From the cradle to our last day it's uphill all of the way But the years have not left me wiser only made me old and gray.
I am confused in my thinking but many more like me out there Two with the exact same opinions one now might say very rare Maybe I'm going a bit dippy and maybe i need a brain scan I feel lost in mental clutter i am a befuddled woman.
And we think, Ah, If I had lived then, when these stories were made up, I Could have found more likely pictures in haphazard sky.
I think that too, admittedly.
Solly, thank you very much. ^_^
RW! Nice to read you. How are you this beautiful bright Sunday?
Last Spring after I had pRK eye surgery, (this was when I first got into MCR and they really totally MADE last spring and summer for me; to the point where I can't even describe how they woke me up from a long music nap,) I started to see light a little differently. I guess because I spent so many weeks with everything being blurry, and seeing double (this was PRK, not Lasik--PRK takes months to heal,) I started getting obsessed with the difference between sharp clear light, and hazy, out of focus light. Mostly because during one week, I couldn't tell the difference between them.
Anyway around that time, I took lots of pictures wondering how different they would look to me when I could see again. These are a couple of them.
Yet another to make you gleam. Your words make me smile, I am forever grateful, dear Fimble Star.
Drinking Alone Under The Moon
Among the flowers from a pot of wine I drink alone beneath the bright moonshine. I raise my cup to invite the moon, who blends Her light with my shadow and we're three friends. The moon does not know how to drink her share; In vain my shadow follows me here and there. Together with them for the time I stay And make merry before spring's spend away. I sing the moon to linger with my song; My shadow disperses as I dance along. Sober, we three remain cheerful and gay; Drunken, we part and each goes his way. Our friendship will outshine all earthly love; Next time we'll meet beyond the stars above.
RW, I have the Circus Girls shirt and it feels so nice and soft. However the shirts do run a bit small; I got the large and it just about fits. I usually take a medium in everything.
Solly, 5000 will be a new record I guess, huh? Hands up who misses Mayo!
RW, I have the Circus Girls shirt and it feels so nice and soft. However the shirts do run a bit small; I got the large and it just about fits. I usually take a medium in everything.
I think I'm drowning Asphyxiated I wanna break this spell That you've created
You're something beautiful A contradiction I wanna play the game I want the friction
You will be the death of me You will be the death of me
Bury it I won't let you bury it I won't let you smother it I won't let you murder it
Our time is running out Our time is running out You can't push it underground You can't stop it screaming out
I wanted freedom Bound and restricted I tried to give you up But I'm addicted
Now that you know I'm trapped sense of elation You'd never dream of Breaking this fixation
You will squeeze the life out of me
Bury it I won't let you bury it I won't let you smother it I won't let you murder it
Our time is running out Our time is running out You can't push it underground You can't stop it screaming out How did it come to this? Oh
Yeah you will suck the life out of me
Bury it I won't let you bury it I won't let you smother it I won't let you murder it
Our time is running out Our time is running out You can't push it underground You can't stop it screaming out How did it come to this? Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!
Right, so the first time I heard that, I thought he was saying, "Now that you know I'm trapped since ovulation, you'd never dream of breaking this fixation."
Cemetery gates The reverend he turned to me Without a tear in his eyes Its nothing new for him to see I didnt ask him why I will remember The love our souls had Sworn to make Now I watch the falling rain All my mind can see Now is your (face)
Well I guess You took my youth I gave it all away Like the birth of a New-found joy This love would end in rage And when she died I couldnt cry The pride within my soul You left me incomplete Memories now unfold.
Believe the word I will unlock my door And pass the Cemetery gates
Sometimes when Im alone I wonder aloud If youre watching over me Some place far abound I must reverse my life I cant live in the past Then set my soul free
Belong to me at last Through all those Complex years I thought I was alone
I didnt care to look around And make this world my own And when she died I shouldve cried and spared myself some pain... Left me incomplete All alone as the memories still remain
The way we were The chance to save my soul And my concern is now in vain Believe the word I will unlock my door And pass the cemetery gates
I just had an epiphany of sorts. It just dawned on me that everything I admired about G-Way he "borrowed" from Kurt Cobain.
I don't really know what to say.
Yeah, me too. I saw that from the start. But that was all right with me; I think borrowing is okay as long as you mean it. I never had a problem with the fact that he was saying the same exact things that Cobain was saying I guess. What mattered to me was if he'd meant it or not. You know?
RW, a few weeks ago this girl I know, she's 19, she asked me, "So what was the deal with Kurt Cobain? What was he all about?"
I didn't even know where to start.
See the thing is, when Gerard was saying word for word the things that Cobain was saying, I was like, "Yeah! Right on! Where you got the idea doesn't matter right now, just propagate it." Because young people weren't hearing that message anymore in music. They weren't hearing about how rock stars shouldn't have to degrade women and treat them like objects etc. So it was so heartening that someone was picking up the baton, right?
Even if Gerard merely dropped the baton and said, "Well, I don't want to talk about that anymore," I would be cool with that. sometimes you get tired.
But then he had to turn around and start degrading women himself, and that's the source of my disgust and disappointment.
Otherwise I'd just be feeling sorry and worried for him, you know?
even if no one gets me, if i'm the only one laughing at my jokes, i won't hide myself away from life. it's uncertain and it's dirty and it's fucking exciting, and i want to be a part of all of it.
it's too good to waste in hiding.

heart full
Today on my way home from class, I stopped off at the petrol station for some petrol. I paid on my card which wasn’t a lot, and then as I was getting into my car, I saw an old man walking past the building. He had a red and green stripy jumper which was frayed at the ends. He was also wearing some jeans that were dirty and had holes all over.
I sat there and became intrigued by him because I didn’t know what he was doing, so as I sat there and watched him, he continued doing what he set out to do.
He walked past the trash cans and first picked out a cup with some drink still in it (one of the cups that you get from burger king that has coke in it). He then walked over to the next trash can and pulled out the end of a half eaten sandwich. In my shock horror, he ate it and then went to sit on the wall to drink the drink he had found.
I felt sad, I wanted to give him my last $4 that I had but I was told when I was younger that you should never give people money, you should give them something they need or can use because that way, if they had an addiction, they would not be able to use the money for their addiction. So I went into the shop and bought a chicken sandwich from their deli counter and then walked out of the building.
The guy was still sat at the wall drinking his drink so I walked up to him and asked him if he would like this sandwich. He thanked me and said that he was hungry.
I should of felt good after that, doing something for someone else but all I could think of is where his next meal will come from or where in fact he will sleep tonight.

(Tonight, although I am cold and my feet are sore, my belly is full.)
It helped.
Jennicula,
Thank you for sharing your story. Although it only appeared briefly, I was lucky enough to have caught it.
Once upon a time, for me, that was the best part of this place...having my words related back to me from another's perspective.
And it never mattered to me who said it, just that it meant something to the writer.

Don't let anyone tell you how to live your life. Hold your head up high and be proud of who you are. If you've had a shitty day and you feel like people just don't want you to be happy, and when you find yourself struggling to make it through the day, just keep on believing and keep the faith. Also, from personal experience, don't push people away. When they say they want to help and that they are there for you, let them in. Believe me, I know how fucking scary that thought is, but don't shut others out.

Retro-spectacled
Sometimes, when you look back on stuff in your life, you know, the crap that makes you shake your head and say, "Holy shit, what the Hell was I thinking?" it's part of what makes you - you.
I'm not perfect by any stretch of the imagination. I have made small mistakes and really big, fucking scary mistakes. Would I change those mistakes and blunders?
No. Wanna know why?
Because they make me - me. They help make up the person that I am, what I've learned the hard way. Hopefully I've learned from my mistakes and have become a better person for it. And, hopefully I don't repeat those same mistakes. Although, sometimes I repeat variations of certain ones, but I'm working on that. :)

aloft
Blazing against the sun like locusts, samaras swarm the sky and skitter to an earthly end, dry like clever words. I want to make them fly up, flip heaven upside down and dance across the top of hell and sing your thoughts to the sound of thunder that you love so well, rip open the littered sky and bathe in the light or draw across the firmament the blanket of the night.
In only a day they have covered the ground, their brief flight yielding nothing permanent on infertile land, a fleeting moment of swarming glory that calls to mind our own short story: Diamonds and petals, the loom and the light, the inkdark moon, foxfire marsh, an open, waiting hand.
Clever winged seeds of childhood reminiscent-- and like the idiot grown-up heart, as stubbornly indehiscent.

Electric Blue
…today I saw a ulysses butterfly it was in our yard and settled to feed on our hibiscus. They really are fantastically beautiful things, the electric blue is amazing, however as they sit with their wings closed they are rather nondescript and dull. Sometimes people are like that, from the outside they seem unappealing but within there hides an amazing beauty for those lucky enough to see it. I hope you appreciate beauty in all things, and look for it perhaps where others miss it.

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL.
I read your post again and suddenly without warning memories of construction paper filled my head. I remembered all the lop-sided flowers my girls made when they were young. Bright blue, yellow and pink flowers that were cut out with blunt end scissors would fill the windows to decorate for Easter. An occasional bunny was attempted but those usually ended up looking like creatures from a horror movie. Flowers were so much easier. I can close my eyes and hear the paper being cut into petals. I can smell the Elmer’s glue squirted on in huge blobs to attach each misshapen petal to form the flowers. We had a huge arts and crafts box full of wonderful items just waiting for their imaginations to turn into something wonderful. In my mind I see my daughters, as they once were, small, blond little girls sitting on the floor surrounded by scraps of paper and other art supplies. They would create their masterpieces then proudly show each other. Oh and Lord the messes that would ensue if the glitter made an appearance. Now, the box is forgotten. I’m not really sure where it even is anymore. The few flowers so lovingly created that survived are faded and dusty and high on a shelf they sit. Time marches on, so many things get left behind.
Today was the first Easter I spent alone. I don’t think it really upset me until I remembered the construction paper flowers. Of course I understand that my daughters are growing up and have lives of their own. But understanding doesn’t make it any easier to accept. I miss my little girls in their frilly Easter dresses. I miss the laughter that filled the house when they found what the Easter Bunny left for them. And I miss making the damn flowers.

From the corner.
I wonder if you noticed all our friends playing Some had never tried before and the result was amazing.
Poems from the corner from the left and right We did our best to keep them flowing Late into this night.
If nothing else was accomplished I hope we made someone see How truly beautiful and amazing a poem can be.

«Oldest ‹Older 4001 – 4200 of 4234 Newer› Newest»Hello Sc how are you? It has been a while and thank you.
SC!!!!!
It's so good to see you!
*big hug*
Well, I tried charming my nephew for half an hour (even used the batting eyelashes trick); but, it did not work. So, I just let him play his video game until he couldn't keep his eyes open any longer! ;)
How have you been?
Thank you SC. How are you? Thanks sugarplum :D
While In Vegas,we observed the entire wild life scene; human, animal and…?
•Lion Habitat
•Bird Sanctuary
•White Tigers
•African Lions, that were massive
•Leopards
And the newest and cutest baby dolphin, “Sergeant Pepper.” Most likely named in honor of CIRQUE’S BEATLES LOVE MUSICAL?
It soothed the savage beast and stilled her hemorrhaging heart, for at least a few blissful hours. I really don’t know if this is harder for me or RB?
However,on a lighter note
At the Mirage, I noticed- they have a Bare- All pool; surrounded by lush bushes full of beautiful flowers and tall trees, baring mostly fruits and nuts.Ha! (Lame nudity humor)
`sc
Yes make up is a must. So it will be either Th or KH.
Were they ripe fruit and mature nuts, SC?
Not TOO mature, of course ;)
I'm glad to hear ya'll were able enjoy yourselves a little!
I bet that baby dolphin was adorable and the white tigers must have been gorgeous!
BC
Noticed you mentioned madonna. In GW defence, at least he asked his audience to participate in the "sex education classes."
Madonna, just wanted you to watch her play with herself. (laughs)

Well, I'll be cheering on Kill Hannah! They've been around a long time and have 'paid their dues', so to speak.
I think it's their time to shine!!!
I HOPE it is!

That's true, SC! Good point!
I always enjoy interaction with the audience/audience participation type things....
;)
wendy
I didn't get to see the how ripe or mature the fruits and nuts were.
Sgt.Pepper was too cute but the African Lions were gigantic and the most amazing site.
6 the band that wins will be the one who has a positive message and lots of personal drama. Because along with make up drama is a must.
I love lions but that is because I am a cat person.
SC,
Lol
You mean you didn't even take a little look at those fruits and nuts, SC?
*raises eyebrow*
;)
How much did those weigh? I have watched some programs on AP with them and the do seem to be GIGANTIC!
Martha: Well, RJA has the postive message.....but no drama.
I think Kill Hannah has the drama.......but no real message.
The Exies have Nikki Sixx supporting and writing songs for them......
Hmmm......which would you prefer?
;)
I am well, and trying not to interfere too much in running bird's love life. Thank you for asking and I send best wishes to you all.
`sc
Alright change of subject. What the hell is with this pregnant man story.
They were just making fun of it on SNL
Are you leaving us already, SC?
It was good to chat you with again - if just for a little bit.
*hugs, love and best wishes to you and RB*
Later SC please don't be a stranger. Drop by more often.
The lion's eyes were a beautiful color, kind of greenish and when they looked at you, it was chilling.
I will put up pics later on my blog.
Martha: He was once a woman (a beauty queen even) and kept his reproductive female organs when he decided to change (from female to male)...
So, technically, he is not completely, physically a he.
I love lions I will check out your pictures.
Why is it when I watch SNL it sucks. They will have great guest but the skits will always suck

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I bet they were beautiful, SC.
To gaze into those gorgeous greenish pools must have been an amazing experience!
Take care SC. MJ, you didn't hear? This "pregant man" is in fact pregnant, but originally he was an actual female before he changed into a male.
Wendy pretty much explained it. It was posted on yahoo yesterday.
Wendy, I guess that means he doesn't have a you-know what? ^_^
MJ, I agree. I think their skits are pretty lame, that's why I don't watch that show. I don't think it's funny at all.
Really I hadn't heard that. I was looking it up and couldn't find the whole story. I found a message board where they called the whole thing evil
Well I haven't watched the national news and local news has been talking about the protest for the Olympic torch and the shut down of those airlines.
Well ladies, it's been fun; but I have laundry to take care of....
Goodnight (for now) BC, Martha, SC, Ergo, Mayo and SS (if they lurk), anons, painters and poets!
If Triston shows up tonight, TRY not to get bitten again, BC.
Give Martha and SC a chance! *wink*
Sweet dreams to all!!!!
Hugs and Love,

Ha ha very funny wendy. Goodnight and sweet dreams sugarplum *hugs*
Later 6
hey all caught a few little fish to put in the dam, not a lot but we'll try new tactics next time
SC how lovely to see you
the animals sound amazing and best wishes to RB
MJ I saw the pregnant guy on tv just before, his wife (who is female ) had had a hysterectomy so can't have kids so he/she decided to be the pregnant one.
I am here, just mostly late at night. I am not going anywhere. I am committed to this blog and its people.
I need to check out this story about the man.
SC there is a lion in a Perth zoo how had testicular cancer so he had surgery an dnow has no mane! poor thing, but he's alive.
I saw a white tiger at a zoo and it looked so regal but teh size of it's paws! O_O Kill you in a swipe!
oh and I like Kill Hannah :)
oh boy I should turn a light on! My typing is horrific!
Hello ep
hey everybody!
just back from the first day of bamboozle, and it was awesome. it seriously was. i was on my own -- my "concert buddies" decided they wanted to shop or something. *pft*
their loss.
there were only a few bands appearing today that i knew i wanted to see, so i just browsed all the others. it was great! the best discovery was streetlight manifesto. their sound (full-on rock, but with jazzy horns) actually caused me to take a sharp turn and make a bee-line to the stage. :)
best show was...um...jimmy eat world was good, but i think for me it was the bouncing souls -- the crowd was great! and when they played "true believers" i actually had goosebumps. i especially wanted to hear that one live *grins at ss*, and then the camaraderie in the crowd during the song just made it truly extraordinary.
tomorrow's the big day -- tons of bands i want to see (i'm actually going to figure out a schedule for me to see if i can possibly fit them all in!), plus...you know...that one band...the one with all the songs about dead people? with the lead singer that chicken dances?
yeah. them.
:D
Hi ergo
Hello Tj how are you? I hope you have fun
Hi squeak squeak. I'm glad you had a great time :)
TJ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
how fantastic!
Have fab day tomorrow! Iw ent to Muse and MCR alone as I couldn't get anyone to go with and had a ball! You can always find nice people to chat to or just rock out yourself1
hey MJ BC no triston tonight? Must be busy misting up somewhere else!
And no angel? Hope she is well
Oh I just saw Charlton Heston on the news! He was a great
6/wendy
I think male lions weigh around 500pounds, but I could be wrong.
ergoproxy
Hi, sad about lion and his mane.
Ergo, nope, no triston or angel tonight.
oH I just read those 2 jokes!!!
MJ ad wendy's hahah Love it! They'll be told here a bit later (after eagle ears goes to bed)
Toujours
I was just writing this and here you are.
Hope you having fun on your adventure, please tell all.
Tomorrow, if you come across a dark hair Angel, of course dressed all in black; hazel green eyes, a smirk, hard rock attitude and yet sensitive soul.
Give her a high five and then an evil eye for me. (laughs)
Running Bird alongside her Golden British love, will be among the air-guitar playing and scream-o singing people at BL.
Damn, she will probably lose her voice, again and I will have to cater to her every whim and need while torturing her with my homemade tonics. (evil smile)
`sc
SC true but it was amazing they could treat him. he's really healthy now, and apparently the girls don't mind!
My brother over there is a friend of the zoo, they go a lot. Someone stole a penguin once O_O they got it back though
hey martha, i'm good! i haven't read your review yet, but i'm glad to hear that you had a great time at your concert!
hey there bc!
hey ergo -- i just got your comment on my lj!
hey there soulconnector! you know you just described half the people at the concert today.
i'll look extra closely. ;)
Tomorrow, if you come across a dark hair Angel, of course dressed all in black; hazel green eyes, a smirk, hard rock attitude and yet sensitive soul.
Right now I think he is the devil in disguises
I'm off to bed. Goodnight guys.
(laughing)
I know, that is why I wrote it, to be funny.
However she is that beautiful and it is her exact personality, no pretending.
Explains why she relates to GW so well. It is like looking at him and seeing herself and that is a powerful connection.
I did tell RB to look out for you, too.
`sc
Goodnight BC
TJ I knew you'd get it sooner or later if I put it there!
SC you have such a beautiful turn of phrase, even when you're smirking evilly
goodnight BC sweet dreams
good night bc!
soulconnector, one of the things i love about going to these festival shows is how easy it is to just talk to strangers. it's like a big party (even if you aren't drinking!). i hope i get a chance to talk to her -- but only after i grin/evil eye her, of course.
heh.
ergo, i love getting comments on my lj! it was great to see a blogsib there! and you just know that you're going to have to put me up on your couch some day. it's inevitable.
we can only pray the world survives our meeting.
lol
BC and wendy, goodnight.
ergoproxy
Someone stole a penguin? Glad they got it back.
Thanks for the compliment!
Did you mention what you are cooking this evening, or did I miss the comment?
`sc
toujours
Many times I prefer to go alone,free to do what I want and talk to everyone.
Hope you have a great time,take care and think of us sometime during MCR set.We are with you in spirit.
`sc
i will carry you all with me, soulconnector -- my true friends. :)

And Hello SC and Martha...I am going to hit the coffin!!
Goodnight SC and Triston Anatole
Good night/morning/afternoon Mayo, SS, Martha, TJ, SC, Ergo, the usual suspects for this time: Possum, FASC and Kass, lurkers and sweet spirits of blog believe!

Martha: Wishing you wonderful dreams and a headache free Sunday.
My (late) poetry contribution:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Go to the forest
Go to the mountains
Go to the far sea
Let loneliness caress you
Until your skin is thin enough
So thin that your heart
Can see me through it
That I was the one who caressed you
Who caresses you,
Go, go.
By: Tommy Tabermann

Isn't that beautiful? I think it is. :)
I hope you all have a splendid Sunday!

Ummm....Triston, what the heck were you drinking last night?
I'm happy to hear you're still all intact!
LOL!!!
Okay, now I'm off to bed.
;p
Goodnight 6
mayo,
time for me to go to bed, i'm afraid. having access to a computer again is too tempting, and i'd rather just sit here all night and truly catch up on everything, but tomorrow promises to be a full day, and it starts very early.
i wrote in my lj about how today was actually a quiet day for me -- because i was on my own for most of it, and it left me feeling centered and open. today was a feast.
from people-watching to chatting with strangers and band members and of course the music, ever-present even if you weren't in front of a stage, everything was a feast. i was honestly enjoying myself too much to feel lonely.
and in fact, at one point during the afternoon, i was taking a break near the main stages, sitting with my back to a fence and eating frozen lemonade. and then i realized something -- the fence marked off the bus area. i was sitting with my back to all the tour buses. the bands were behind me, right on the other side of that chainlink fence.
that sounds fangirly perhaps, but the realization was actually that all of us there, everyone walking around in front of me, as far as i could see, and everyone behind me that i couldn't, we were all partners in this grand glorious day. this celebration of life and music and the sheer, fierce joy of living.
magic.
and tomorrow i get to see the band that casts the best magic circle i've ever been in.
that's what's important to me about this trip, really. everything else that's going to happen -- visiting family, meeting friends, travelling -- is good and important, and no doubt about that! but the core is this feeling that i'm growing something within me. i'm living my priorities, and the act of that will be something i can gather up and carry into the next phase of my life.
and when i'm standing in front of a stage, at anytime during this month, with the music beating open my chest and filling me up, that's the feast that will give me the strength to step out and be myself and live my life exactly how i want, how i must in order to satisfy the callings of my spirit, at long last. i've "wanted" to be a writer for so long, "wanted" to be an artist for so long, all my life.
this month marks the change from a diet of shoulds to a diet of what's true.
no more wishing. no more self-help pep-talks. just feasting, and stepping out along my path, with long strides.
yes, all that from travelling around on a greyhound to see concerts. *grin*
will you feast tomorrow, too, mayo? will you open your heart to the rushing magic of the lives that surround you?
i hope so. it is a delicious feeling.
good night, mayo. sleep well.
good night everyone!
i hope i'll be able to come and talk again tomorrow night, but i can't say for sure. i know i'll have regular internet access at my folks next week, so keep your fingers crossed that i can cadge some connections in the meantime!
talk to you all later. play nice.
Goodnight TJ
Anyone else here?
sorry I disappeared we had dinner then my cousin was on the computer, so I am jumping on really quickly
goodnight Mayo
wishing new beginnings to you and yours much love EPxx
SS goodnight sending hopes for fresh horizons to you and those you love

Make A Wish...
By Jiminey! Is it going to be about the crickets now?
Hi MJ and FASC.
Thanks for the review MJ. Sounds like you had a good night =)
It was interesting to hear about Billy Talent live. They've never toured here but two of their songs did get airplay. Fallen Leaves, which had a rather interesting accompanying video and Red Flag Probably not much point in them coming here now as interest has tapered off...
FASC,
*sets up speed traps and nets*
Catch you tomorrow!
Time to dash already. Sometimes quickies just have to do.
Nothing wrong with that ^_~
Have a great remainder of your weekend everyone ^_^
'night all.
Mayo,
Hope you are happy and well today!! Me? Well, I will be better soon.
Mayo, let's make this a day to clear our heads...make space. Let some shit go. Okay?
Love to YOU Always,
S
p.s. No, I can't get rid of that. I need it.
Well shit I go away for a bit and people show up. Great
Hi guys. ^_^
Hey Mayo, you up? What's going on?
Morning, Mayo.
Morning, SS
Morning, everyone. :)
I hope today goes well for all of you! I plan on making the most I possibly can of it!
PP: I do what I can. ;)
SC: Good to see you back. Had me worried for a bit. :)
A little bit of info:
I've just seen that Charlton Heston has passed away. Reports say that it was last night at his Beverly Hills home.
Morning errbody!
I'm about to leave for a bit but I'll be back later.
Have a great day everyone!
Mayo,
Sunday is supposed to be a lazy day so stop doing whatever it is you're doing and come talk to us today. ^_^ Ya know, if you want to.
SS!
Dude, we're gonna make millions of BlogBelieve dollars off of you. And we have Mustard to thank. So blame her. And RW had a hand or a toe in it as well. Hee-hee.
Have a good one!
XOXO,
S&V20
Thanks to Mustard...I had a dream about toenails last night...Smoke's toenails and they were very long and I was telling her they need to be cut.
WTF?
http://www.buzznet.com/tags/mychemicalromance/photos/donna-way-joint/?id=43733061
This answers the question of what Mamma Way thinks of Mikey's shirt
Smoke's toenails and they were very long and I was telling her they need to be cut.
Talons
Muahahahah!
(I bet Frank got his ass kicked for making fun of Mikey.)
SS: No, don't listen to them. This is going to make you a huuuuuge star. HUGE. I'm working on getting you an agent and all of that shit, so you just sit back, remember the vocals, and we'll be ready to go.
Ewwwwww, Solly. That's just wrong!
Anyone seen any new sharpie messages?
Smoke,
They were pretty toenails though...just very long.
Like I said, you have Mustard to thank for that one. It's alls her fault.
Like I said, you have Mustard to thank for that one. It's alls her fault.
I'll take full responsibity for the nightmare. ;)
'Cept all that toe talk was pretty funny. Can't even imagine the look on Mayo's face if he reads all of that. Or SS's for that matter!
Responsibity.
I like that much better.
I wanted you to know I love the way you laugh
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away
I keep your photograph; I know it serves me well
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain
‘Cause I’m broken when I’m open
And I don’t feel like I am strong enough
‘Cause I’m broken when I’m lonesome
And I don’t feel right when you’re gone away
The worst is over now and we can breathe again
I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away
There’s so much left to learn, and no one left to fight
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain
‘Cause I’m broken when I’m open
And I don’t feel like I am strong enough
‘Cause I’m broken when I’m lonesome
And I don’t feel light when you’re gone away
Oh, give me time, Mustard...I want you to spew too. mmmkay?
It doesn't matter if it makes sense or not.
Anonymous:
No, I haven't seen any Sharpie messages aside from the "Bonjour" one.
I haven't even really seen any pictures.
Okay, I peeked at BN for that pic, and so far no viruses on my computer. ^_^ Aww man, those two boys look so much like Mama. O_O
Princess, Solly and Splash! how're you guys today? Whatchyoo upto this fine Sunday?
Me, I have to clean house, clean the crow cage, and set up my dove in the outside aviary.
Woooo, total excitement 'round these parts, I tell you.
I want pics! Pics would be nice. Buzznet takes forever to load for me.
Anon, oh man, I don't know if you were thinking of Mayo with that one, but I swear today I was going to find all kinds of pictures of light from different angles and post them with some kind of joke about lighting the way back for Mayo to post another entry. ^_^
Mmmmkay.
I won't make any guarantees, but I will try my best.
Hey Jules,
Smoke is s'posed to be coming to my house to watch videos on my new tv. It's going to be the most fun evah!
The only thing I am going to clean today is my mind....
Aww man, those two boys look so much like Mama. O_O
Couldn't agree more. Facial bone structure, their eyes, everything.
Only one thing though: How did those two boys, Gerard especially as Mikey kinda sorta had blonde hair as a youngster, end up with dark hair while Mrs. Way has blonde?
Aww SOlly, that sounds like so much fun!
Splash, Mikey is still blond, he's just dark blond. Most blond hair gets really dark as you get older but is still technically blond. My cousin had white blond hair when she was a little girl but now it's dark brown; she's still a blonde though.
Maybe their Da has brown hair. And don't forget, Gerard probably colors the bejesus out of his hair, too.
Hey guys, does anyone know if you can get tattoos on your palms?
Jules,
I don't think you can. I mean you could but I don't think the ink stays or something. It won't take.
Of course, I could be talking out of my ass.
Clouds roll by
Reeling is what they say
Or is it just my way?
Wind blows by,
Low light
Sidetracked, low light
Can't see my tracks,
Your scent-way back
Can I be here all alone?
Clear a path to my home
Blood runs dry
Books and jealousy tell me wrong
All I feel, calm
Voice rolls by,
Low light
Car crash, low light
Can't wear my mask,
Your first, my last
Voice goes by
Two birds is what they'll see
Getting lost upon their way
Wind rolls by,
Low light
Eye sight, low light
I need the light
I'll find my way from wrong, what's real?
Your dream I see
I know, but her hair is blonde, like, really blonde. Mikey's isn't that light.
Closest Gerard ever came was a pixie cut and a bottle. ;) (I thought that look was cool, I'm just sayin'.)
It's probably from their dad as you said.
Hey guys, does anyone know if you can get tattoos on your palms?
I've seen it done, but I think you risk it fading and having to get it redone time and time again. I think there's also a chance of the ink running. But, I don't really know.
Kim Steward
think of me
when others have gone,
when times get tough --
and you're all alone.
think of me
when skies turn gray
when confusion sets in --
and friends turn away.
think of me
as day slips to night
try to believe things
will turn out all right.
think of me
when the wind blows cold.
makes you lonely --
lets fear unfold.
think of me
and remember when
the days were warm --
and loving then
think of me
as time flies by
when things don't work out
and you want to cry.
think of me
when things go right
as things look up,
I trust that you might --
think of me
there's no need to prove --
just let your thoughts of me
be filled with love.
Think of who?
These lyrics are great, by the way, you guys.
A Love Song
by William Carlos Williams
What have I to say to you
When we shall meet?
Yet—
I lie here thinking of you.
The stain of love
Is upon the world.
Yellow, yellow, yellow,
It eats into the leaves,
Smears with saffron
The horned branches that lean
Heavily
Against a smooth purple sky.
There is no light—
Only a honey-thick stain
That drips from leaf to leaf
And limb to limb
Spoiling the colours
Of the whole world.
I am alone.
The weight of love
Has buoyed me up
Till my head
Knocks against the sky.
See me!
My hair is dripping with nectar—
Starlings carry it
On their black wings.
See, at last
My arms and my hands
Are lying idle.
How can I tell
If I shall ever love you again
As I do now?
Mama Way probably dyes her hair, too. ^_^
You guys are actually right about the palm tattoos, I googled it and most people say the same thing. Ahh well! It was a cool idea, I was going to get bird footprints tattooed on my palms.
Anon, you're making me want to post pictures for Mayo. ^_^ ANd nobody wants that to happen. ;D
Lyrics and poetry.
Jules,
I would like to see your pics...if my computer will let me.
I've gotta go cook some lunch....be back later.
Until then...
Here's one I like:
Bond and Free
by Robert Frost
Love has earth to which she clings
With hills and circling arms about—
Wall within wall to shut fear out.
But Thought has need of no such things,
For Thought has a pair of dauntless wings.
On snow and sand and turf, I see
Where Love has left a printed trace
With straining in the world’s embrace.
And such is Love and glad to be.
But Thought has shaken his ankles free.
Thought cleaves the interstellar gloom
And sits in Sirius’ disc all night,
Till day makes him retrace his flight,
With smell of burning on every plume,
Back past the sun to an earthly room.
His gains in heaven are what they are.
Yet some say Love by being thrall
And simply staying possesses all
In several beauty that Thought fares far
To find fused in another star.
Let the world stop turning,
Let the sun stop burning,
Let them tell me love's not worth going through.
If it all falls apart,
I will know deep in my heart,
The only dream that mattered had come true
...In this life I was loved by you.
Bette Midler
Thank you Solly. ^_^
Well here's one I took of the sun on a river.
And this one is hot in every single way. ^_^ I know Mayo loves the light; I do too, but I especially love the fire. And my fetish for boys who dance with it is kinda well known among my sphere. ;D
May '05 and may '05 again. Two of my irises, and I kinda had gotten obsessed with sunset light back then.
Both from October 04, a sunset and the path of the beam reflected. (A little Stephen King reference there. :D )
For Mayo and Jules:
I like this one a lot!
Coming Up Into the Light
by Julie Williams
You can only hunker down so long & then the wind dies
or rushes on to some other place to do its damage
& all that time you've been huddled there together
holding your breath, hoping against
wildest hope that up aboveground
nothing you love has been
blown away
hoping with a deep longing
the wind has cleared
the air &
the new
light
shining
is
there
to
stay
Solly, that's beautiful. Thank you for that.
" wildest hope that up aboveground
nothing you love has been
blown away"
I can't even tell you how much sense that makes to me on a daily basis.
Solly, that dragonfly in the light photo of mine, you can of course save that if you want. I remember that you liked that one.
for everyone in blogtown
and one very special someone
Starlight
by William Meredith
Going abruptly into a starry night
It is ignorance we blink from, dark, unhoused;
There is a gaze of animal delight
Before the human vision. Then, aroused
To nebulous danger, we may look for easy stars,
Orion and the Dipper; but they are not ours,
These learned fields. Dark and ignorant,
Unable to see here what our forebears saw,
We keep some fear of random firmament
Vestigial in us. And we think, Ah,
If I had lived then, when these stories were made up, I
Could have found more likely pictures in haphazard sky.
But this is not so. Indeed, we have proved fools
When it comes to myths and images. A few
Old bestiaries, pantheons and tools
Translated to the heavens years ago—
Scales and hunter, goat and horologe—are all
That save us when, time and again, our systems fall.
And what would we do, given a fresh sky
And our dearth of image? Our fears, our few beliefs
Do not have shapes. They are like that astral way
We have called milky, vague stars and star-reefs
That were shapeless even to the fecund eye of myth—
Surely these are no forms to start a zodiac with.
To keep the sky free of luxurious shapes
Is an occupation for most of us, the mind
Free of luxurious thoughts. If we choose to escape,
What venial constellations will unwind
Around a point of light, and then cannot be found
Another night or by another man or from other ground.
As for me, I would find faces there,
Or perhaps one face I have long taken for guide;
Far-fetched, maybe, like Cygnus, but as fair,
And a constellation anyone could read
Once it was pointed out; an enlightenment of night,
The way the pronoun you will turn dark verses bright.
Jules,
You take beautiful amazing pictures. I love them all. The ice ones are really cool and the dragonfly one of course.
Last weekend, I took a last minute trip to Las Vegas to help heal a wounded heart.
I once took a trip to Houston for the same reason. I hope yours was more successful in that respect than mine was.
Really I hadn't heard that. I was looking it up and couldn't find the whole story. I found a message board where they called the whole thing evil.
That's fundamentalist Christian right-wing speak for "I don't understand it. It doesn't make me feel good. I fear it. So therefore it must be bad."
we were all partners in this grand glorious day. this celebration of life and music and the sheer, fierce joy of living.
magic.
It's spellbinding, isn't it? Almost defies description. That's how I felt at PR last year.
Creation
by Kendel Hippolyte
For days, weeks at a time, i lose whatever it is
which keeps my senses softened to the sentience of the earth,
to hillside grass running lightly before a silver wind
or a far slope rippling like a muscled shoulder
or how the gradine, faceted pebbles under me will rasp
as i ease in closer, resting my back
against the rough-skinned body of a gliricidia.
All this can suddenly go without a hint
like a room slips into darkness with a passing cloud—
except, i don't know how,
it happens with no slippage of the sense of self.
On drizzled mornings, when a silver fluttering beats to a white rush down the hills,
i can believe that seraphs bear the rain to us.
By afternoon, wind has lost color, stones are exactly stones,
the green ascending hill has stiffened into a surveyor's gradient.
The names by which i used to call the earth to come to me
have hardened in my mouth to scabs.
Who was it then who saw the wings of seraphs?
And who is looking now, squinting with eyes of quartz?
i want to understand how, inhabitants of the same life,
they do not know each other, they have never met;
how, looking out of the same windows, they see different worlds.
i want to find a way that they may see each other.
i want them—the glint-eyed one of rationed sight,
the other, dream blinded even in the day's light—
to meet and in that meeting learn a threefold vision
that hopefully i may translate into new lines of language,
lines braided from their voices and my own speaking together,
an utterance which, if even for the duration of only a few words,
will speak our earth original again into creation.
Dedicated to the star who shine's so bright. You are not alone, you need to find your light.
A lot of people have faith in you.
I Am Confused In My Thinking
Sometimes i feel I'd be happy if i were as dumb as a stone
I am confused in my thinking but in that i am not alone
Many others out there like me who ask themselves who am I?
We live confused in our thinking and confused in our thinking we'll die.
Listening to talkback radio confuses me all the more
People with different opinions trying to each other outscore
Seems they are all trying to tell me that their opinions can't be wrong
They confuse me in my thinking I'm not so mentally strong.
Very confused in my thinking and mixed up as mixed up can be
Yet there are many more out there who are as confused as me
Each with their different opinions who is wrong and who is right?
Yet i am certain for many that life is a hard uphill fight.
I am confused in my thinking it's a confusing World we live in
Sad to think that some have to lose out just so that others can win
From the cradle to our last day it's uphill all of the way
But the years have not left me wiser only made me old and gray.
I am confused in my thinking but many more like me out there
Two with the exact same opinions one now might say very rare
Maybe I'm going a bit dippy and maybe i need a brain scan
I feel lost in mental clutter i am a befuddled woman.
Anon, that’s a new one to me, and it’s lovely.
And we think, Ah,
If I had lived then, when these stories were made up, I
Could have found more likely pictures in haphazard sky.
I think that too, admittedly.
Solly, thank you very much. ^_^
RW! Nice to read you. How are you this beautiful bright Sunday?
Last Spring after I had pRK eye surgery, (this was when I first got into MCR and they really totally MADE last spring and summer for me; to the point where I can't even describe how they woke me up from a long music nap,) I started to see light a little differently. I guess because I spent so many weeks with everything being blurry, and seeing double (this was PRK, not Lasik--PRK takes months to heal,) I started getting obsessed with the difference between sharp clear light, and hazy, out of focus light. Mostly because during one week, I couldn't tell the difference between them.
Anyway around that time, I took lots of pictures wondering how different they would look to me when I could see again. These are a couple of them.
The window in the attic where I work. Attic windows are always creepy.
The fountain in mykitchen started to look weird.
And this did not look blurry when I took it.
That’s a reflection of the lights in my kitchen that fascinated me for about ten minutes.
This is last May’s full moon reflected on water.
Sakura. ^_^
It was weird, at night every light I saw had what looked like upturned horns for about a week. It was such a strange experience.
Well, I've taken up enough space with links here; I'd better get cleaning. I'll be lurking about, chat you guys in a few. ^_^
Star as in FIMBLE STAR? She brings the light. And the humor. ^_^
Hullo, K :D How's things?
That pic of Mama Way wearing the Mikey Fucking Way t-shirt... I tried to picture my mother in her place but it just did not compute.
CELTIC SOULS
Celtic souls, entwined, transplanted
Grow together slowly, embracing the years
Knowing only that one without the other
Would become unravelled and desolate.
Celtic souls, entwined and travelling
Each mile a discovery, a gift
Connecting history to the future
And soul to soul.
Celtic souls, entwined, enriching
Each other, giving strength from within
Bringing together all that is unique
To be woven, forever, inextricably.
Yes Kapunua.
Yet another to make you gleam. Your words make me smile, I am forever grateful, dear Fimble Star.
Drinking Alone Under The Moon
Among the flowers from a pot of wine
I drink alone beneath the bright moonshine.
I raise my cup to invite the moon, who blends
Her light with my shadow and we're three friends.
The moon does not know how to drink her share;
In vain my shadow follows me here and there.
Together with them for the time I stay
And make merry before spring's spend away.
I sing the moon to linger with my song;
My shadow disperses as I dance along.
Sober, we three remain cheerful and gay;
Drunken, we part and each goes his way.
Our friendship will outshine all earthly love;
Next time we'll meet beyond the stars above.
She'll be so pleased, anon. ^_^
RW, yeah same goes. It was cute though. :)
12:08 is for YOU my love - my heart
i think of you, always
I'd like to add that I like the dark just as much as the light. ^_^
Mama Way scares me a little bit, K. She looks like she could kick my ass!
The pictures on your blog are brave and beautiful She wolf.
Hello Sdock10, how have you been? Thank you for spreading your love here.
Hello Resurrected Wreck and all the other good people here.
Hullo & happy weekend to you, she wolf anon :)
Hey She Wolf Anon,
I am okay. Same day to day battles, you know? How are you?
I think I owe you the "thank you" for always sticking up for me when I'm not here.
RW,
You and Mustard made me dream about toenails last night.
...just sayin
Sorry for flaking. I got caught up in some stuff.
Hey RW, Jules, Sdock, and She Wolf Anon!
Hey ya Mustard,
What ya been doin?
Watching my HAARP DVD again.
I get caught up in it and can't pull myself away.
The pictures are really cool, Jules. I'm trying to look at all of them.
Hi guys, hi She wolf anon. ^_^ It's nice to read you as always, and thank you again for your kindness.
Hi again Solly, RW and Splash.
here's my dilemma, I want to listen to Muse, like I'm jonzing really badly right now, but I have to vacuum first. O_O
Oh, thank you Splash! :D
You and Mustard made me dream about toenails last night.
...just sayin
*snickers*
*high-fives RW*
Think of the power we have.
The power.
Muwhahahah.
We must be careful to use our power only for good, Mustard. Only for good!
And to pick up cute boys.
Oh, yeah. For sure.
And guitar solos and stuff. I can use it for that, too.
We'll do this for the good of mankind. We'll do this in the name of Big Toes everywhere.
Anon @ 10:53
I love that song :)
Hey everyone.
Oh, yeah. We should totally use it for guitar solos.
And to save mankind.
*squeezes BC* :)
So. Skeleton Crew.
Anyone here bought any of their clothing merch yet?
you're both welcome.
Kapunua Muse is great.
Hi RW *big squeeze*
So are we totally going for 5000 comments today?
Muse rocks my face off and no lie. ^_^
RW, I have the Circus Girls shirt and it feels so nice and soft. However the shirts do run a bit small; I got the large and it just about fits. I usually take a medium in everything.
Solly, 5000 will be a new record I guess, huh? Hands up who misses Mayo!
*raises hand*
*raises both hands*
Hey BC!
5000 comments would be, like, Blogger history. We'd be in the world record book.
I miss Mayo. I hope the dude's okay, which I'm sure he is, but you know how it goes.
SKELETON CREW! ^____________^
Hi everyone! Solly, are you ready for me to come to your house? Hmmmmm? Is it safe yet? Wouldn't want to have to bitchslap anyone.
Are we really going on 5000 comments??

Good to know, K. Thanks :)

We now know what to say to get your ass in here. ;)
I am sooooo ready for my Leathermouth shirt! How Solly got hers before me, I have yet to figure out.

Dropping in to wish everyone a lovely day. Can't stay, I'm on my way to a baby shower.
♥ to all of you.
Mayo you too buddy. Hope all things are great.
SS, sending you smiles.
Bye anima
I think I'm drowning
Asphyxiated
I wanna break this spell
That you've created
You're something beautiful
A contradiction
I wanna play the game
I want the friction
You will be the death of me
You will be the death of me
Bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it
Our time is running out
Our time is running out
You can't push it underground
You can't stop it screaming out
I wanted freedom
Bound and restricted
I tried to give you up
But I'm addicted
Now that you know I'm trapped sense of elation
You'd never dream of
Breaking this fixation
You will squeeze the life out of me
Bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it
Our time is running out
Our time is running out
You can't push it underground
You can't stop it screaming out
How did it come to this?
Oh
Yeah you
will suck
the life
out of me
Bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it
Our time is running out
Our time is running out
You can't push it underground
You can't stop it screaming out
How did it come to this?
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!
Right, so the first time I heard that, I thought he was saying, "Now that you know I'm trapped since ovulation, you'd never dream of breaking this fixation."
O_O
Have fun, Anima. :D
for the one that bleeds chaos
Cemetery gates
The reverend he turned to me
Without a tear in his eyes
Its nothing new for him to see
I didnt ask him why
I will remember
The love our souls had
Sworn to make
Now I watch the falling rain
All my mind can see
Now is your (face)
Well I guess
You took my youth
I gave it all away
Like the birth of a
New-found joy
This love would end in rage
And when she died
I couldnt cry
The pride within my soul
You left me incomplete
Memories now unfold.
Believe the word
I will unlock my door
And pass the
Cemetery gates
Sometimes when Im alone
I wonder aloud
If youre watching over me
Some place far abound
I must reverse my life
I cant live in the past
Then set my soul free
Belong to me at last
Through all those
Complex years
I thought I was alone
I didnt care to look around
And make this world my own
And when she died
I shouldve cried and spared myself some pain...
Left me incomplete
All alone as the memories still remain
The way we were
The chance to save my soul
And my concern is now in vain
Believe the word
I will unlock my door
And pass the cemetery gates
pantera
Hi and bye, Anima!
Why, thank you very much anon. That song is awesome :)

Ah, a lady with taste!
This picture merits discussion. ^_^
Actually, going back to cool light photos, this is one of my favorites. Obviously I did not take this one. ^_^ It's my current desktop though.
Smoke,
I dunno...whenever he decides to leave I guess.
Jules,
I like those photos.
I just had an epiphany of sorts. It just dawned on me that everything I admired about G-Way he "borrowed" from Kurt Cobain.
I don't really know what to say.
Mmmm - hmm! ^_^
Solly, vunch him out the door.

Yeah, me too. I saw that from the start. But that was all right with me; I think borrowing is okay as long as you mean it. I never had a problem with the fact that he was saying the same exact things that Cobain was saying I guess. What mattered to me was if he'd meant it or not. You know?
Thank you, K! Exactly. Do I need to come and vunch him out the door? Cuz I totally will. With pleasure. ^_^
At the beginning of the song "Invincible", do you guys here the footsteps and the door opening?
I knew I heard something. I'll have to listen to it again. ^_^
No problem there. YAY!
Yeah, me too. I saw that from the start.
I guess my problem is that I didn't.
SOLLY! MAKE HIM LEAVE DAMN IT! DOES HE NOT KNOW WE GOTS STUFF TO DO?
JEEZ!
He won't! He's watching LOTR for the 74th time..doesn't he know whe want to watch LOTMS for the 77th time?
errrrrrrr..
I hear what you're saying, RW.
At the rate this is going, I don't know if we'll even get to now.
FUCK!
Thank you, K.
Want me to come get you and we run to Wal-Mart? ^_^
I gots to get some stuff.
I am not even dressed.
Well, get that way. >_<
Cuz I'm coming to get you. You gots twenty-five minute.
Get crackin'...
Do you hear me?
OK
Don't make me yell!
Time for be to head out into the beautiful day.
Have fun, guys!
Ha!
0_0
Bye RW! O_O
You guys should go! Retail therapy. ^_^
RW, a few weeks ago this girl I know, she's 19, she asked me, "So what was the deal with Kurt Cobain? What was he all about?"
I didn't even know where to start.
See the thing is, when Gerard was saying word for word the things that Cobain was saying, I was like, "Yeah! Right on! Where you got the idea doesn't matter right now, just propagate it." Because young people weren't hearing that message anymore in music. They weren't hearing about how rock stars shouldn't have to degrade women and treat them like objects etc. So it was so heartening that someone was picking up the baton, right?
Even if Gerard merely dropped the baton and said, "Well, I don't want to talk about that anymore," I would be cool with that. sometimes you get tired.
But then he had to turn around and start degrading women himself, and that's the source of my disgust and disappointment.
Otherwise I'd just be feeling sorry and worried for him, you know?
Oh, didn't realize you were leaving, RW.
Have a beautiful day!
WTMFF?! I AM TRYING TO WATCH MUSE VIDEOS. Why IS YOUTUBE SO SLOW?
