Relative Aperture
A smashed glass cracked
in my last careless act
catching sight off guard.
Points sparkle a dappled dance
across the hardwood floor
spreading as the day grows
and peaking at midday
then rising full in the sky
for the time I hide away.
Until evening’s effulgence
slips through severed slats
catching sight by chance
announcing a worthy time
while bringing rust to rhyme.
From lyric baring branches
pick the last pack of matches
and set alight this balefire
for grieving my darkest desire.
(As we depart, we arrive.)
p.s. thoughtfully holding the line.

You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Girl, we couldn't get much higher
Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre
Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire, yeah

Hello K!
Ergo: I had a great (and exhausting) weekend with my nephew.
He spent the weekend with me due to my niece's prom. It was her first prom; and, judging by the smile on her face today, she had a GREAT time as well!
I'm very glad to hear you didn't fall in (especially since you brought the scothch with you). I was wondering if you heard me shouting those intstructions to ya! ;)
Any news from TJ yet ???
I can't wait to hear how her day/continuing adverture went!
I adore Jim Morrison/The Doors, anon!
:D
*whispers curses to the evil typo fairy*
:p
he had a great voice and presence didn't he wendy
you know I bought Best of the Doors years ago for like $3 on a discount record store table, then the movie came out and it went up to $30 overnight!!
that's great she enjoyed the prom, how special.
goodnight kapunua sweet dreams
I'm doing great Ergo. I just got back and I'm really tired, but I took some great pics. I'll post them tomorrow, and I got to visit the japanese gardens although its kinda disappointing to see the flowers haven't bloomed yet.
I may have to visit again in a couple of months.
Sugarplum, I am very very tired at the moment, just got back, and then I went to stop by whole foods for a quick bite (that organic and natural grocery store, in case you haven't heard of it)
So I'm pooped, but good
Such a long drive to get to the north suburbs, its tiring :)
*smothers with hugs and kisses*
Yes he did Ergo! There was just something about Morrison.....
something so sensual, mystical, powerful.....
Must go search for The Doors on youtube now! ;)
In the meantime, here's another of my Bukowski favs:
Question And Answer
Charles Bukowski
he sat naked and drunk in a room of summer
night, running the blade of the knife
under his fingernails, smiling, thinking
of all the letters he had received
telling him that
the way he lived and wrote about
that--
it had kept them going when
all seemed
truly
hopeless.
putting the blade on the table, he
flicked it with a finger
and it whirled
in a flashing circle
under the light.
who the hell is going to save
me? he
thought.
as the knife stopped spinning
the answer came:
you're going to have to
save yourself.
still smiling,
a: he lit a
cigarette
b: he poured
another
drink
c: gave the blade
another
spin.
--from The Last Night of the Earth Poems
wow wendy he writes some disturbing stuff!
powerful but very dark
You and me
Meant to be
Immutable
Impossible
It's destiny
Pure lunacy
Incalculable
Insufferable
For all who appreciate The Doors:
Touch Me
Break On Through

Yes, he does! I adore dark and powerful ;)
Anon: There's nothing wrong with a little lunacy, in my humble opinion!
BC: I'm happy to hear you had such a nice day! Sorry you're feeling tired though, sweetcheeks.
anon I like that!
Hello other anon
Good Morning.
And how are my very Beautiful Babes of the Blog!!...Why do I feel like I should sau "Dude' after that ala Bill and Ted! Maybe "Whoooooa"
Dark and powerful...yes I like that...I like that very much!
One more from Mr. Bukowski.
I HAD to post this one! ;)
Young In New Orleans
Charles Bukowski
starving there, sitting around the bars,
and at night walking the streets for hours,
the moonlight always seemed fake
to me, mabye it was,
and in the French Quarter I watched
the horses and buggies going by,
everybody sitting high in the open
carriages, the black driver, and in
back the man and the woman,
usually young and always white.
and I was always white.
and hardly charmed by the
world.
New Orleans was a place to
hide.
I could piss away my life,
unmolested.
except for the rats.
the rats in my small dark room
very much resented sharing it
with me.
they were large and fearless
and stared at me with eyes
that spoke
an unblinking
death.
women were beyond me.
they saw something
depraved.
there was one waitress
a little older than
I, she rather smiled,
lingered when she
brought my
coffee.
that was plenty for
me, that was
enough.
there was something about
that city, though:
it didn't let me feel guilty
that I had no feeling for the
things so many others
needed.
it let me alone.
sitting up in my bed
the lights out,
hearing the outside
sounds,
lifting my cheap
bottle of wine,
letting the warmth of
the grape
enter
]me
as I heard the rats
moving about the
room,
I preferred them
to
humans.
being lost,
being crazy mabye
is not so bad
if you can be
that way:
undisturbed.
New Orleans gave me
that.
nobody ever called
my name.
no telephone,
no car,
no job,
no anything.
me and the
rats
and my youth,
one time,
that time
I knew
even through the
nothingness,
it was a
celebration
of something not to
do
but only
know.
Thanks sugarplum *hugs* :)
Good Evening to you, Triston!

Poor triston. Are you still confused about the donut thing sweetheart? ^_^
*realizes wendy is an excellent dancer*
And more great news, the pain is almost gone. Yay!
Elvis and Frank always did it for my parents! And Fats!!!
Awww......I used to LOVE to watch mom and dad dance.
3 of my favourites:
How does a guitarist park in a handicapped spot?
puts drumsticks on the dash
How do you know a trombonists kid in a playground?
he's the one who can't swing and complains about the slide
How does a band know when it's time for a new drummer?
"Hey guys I've written a song!"
Hello all
In honor of missT most creative and loving explanation of how Pizza=Love earlier today, and all of you dancing tonight.
Pure Dean!
When the moon hits your eye like a big-a pizza pie,
That's amore;
When the world seems to shine like you've had too much wine,
That's amore.
bells will ring...

Yes, that was done in my best "fanged" accent! ;)
Oh no, I missed MissT's pizza = love sermon. :(

*waves to MissT if she lurks*
;)
OH NO Wendy...The OP's have filled me in.....In Depth...My heart is beating faster as I type this!!

Oh Ergo...burst but never bust ;)
Thank you, Triston!
*big hug*
Yes, I am grining from ear to ear!
"When the stars make you drool just like a pasta fazool
That's amore
When you dance down the street with a cloud at your feet
You're in love
When you walk down in a dream but you know you're not
Dreaming signore
Scuzza me, but you see, back in old Napoli
That's amore"
How can those lyrics NOT make one smile ???
What a crooner, eh?

Thank you, anonymous!
Yes, love can be quite a mystery.
But, I think it is one mystery worth exploring, worth trying to solve, worth the risk involved.
Even if we never solve the mystery, we still reap the rewards of exploration!
wow what fabulous quotes!
ok I love this song ad I cry when I hear it!
Rocky by Dickey Lee
Alone until my eighteenth year, we met four springs ago
She was shy and had a fear, of things she did not know
But we got it on together in such a super way
We held each other close at night, and traded dreams each day
She said Rocky I've never been in love before, don't know if I can do it
But if you let me lean on you take my hand I might get through it, through it
I said baby, oh sweet baby it's love that sets us free
And God knows if the world should end your love is safe with me
We found an old grey house, and you would not believe the way
We worked at night to fix it up, took classes in the day
Painting walls and sipping wine, sleeping on the floor
With so much love with just too, soon we found there'd be one more
And she said Rocky I've never had a baby before, don't know if I can do it
But if you let me lean on you, take my hand I might get through it, through it
I said baby, oh sweet baby it's love that sets us free,
and God knows if the word should end your love is save with me.
We had lots of problems then, but we had lots of fun
Like the birthday party, when our baby girl turned one
I was proud and satisfied, life had so much to give
Till the day they told me that she didn't have long to live
She said Rocky I never had to die before don't know if I can do it
Now it's back to two again my little girl and I
Who looks so much like her sweet mother, sometimes that makes me cry
I sleep alone at nights again, I walk alone each day
And sometimes when I'm about to give in, I hear her sweet voice say to me
Rocky you know you've been alone before, you know you can do it
But if you'd like to lean on me, take my hand I'll help you through it, through it.
I said baby, oh sweet baby it's love that sets us free
And God knows if the world should end, your love is safe with me
She said Rocky you know you've been alone before...

I haven't talked to her, but she is bound to be tired from all the excitement, so I won't get too much information out of her tonight.
BC
I remember you guys discussing your love of pizza and all it merits.(smiles)
If you get a chance,go back to this afternoon and read missT's message to PJ. It made me laugh.
triston
Pleasure is all mine, even though I recall, we briefly met a couple weeks ago.
`sc
I like that, Ergo!
Triston: I agree with Ergo; great quotes!
BC, SC: Are you two getting into trouble somewhere?
How About this one BC.. Tony
I agree Wendy...I do love exploring...I feel a poem comming on now!
I'm okay wendy, just laying and snuggling under my comforter. Thanks triston, I'm on my phone so I can't see the video I'm afraid :(
Thanks SC
I posted this one awhile back; but, I hope you all don't mind if I post it again.
For anonymous at 2:00 a.m:
The Risk of Love
By Kris Hydmore
There is a risk involved in everything
Every time you share a smile
Every time you shed a tear
You are opening yourself up to hurt.
Some people tread slowly through life,
Avoiding the closeness risk brings,
Side-stepping the things they can't understand
Turning away from those who care too much,
Those who care stay too long,
Those who hold too tightly.
There is never an easy way to love
You can not approach it cautiously
It will not wait for you to arm yourself.
It does not care if you turn away
It is everywhere, it is everything.
Love is the greatest of all risks.
It is not reliable, it is not cautious,
It is not sympathetic
It is unprejudiced and unmerciliess.
It strikes the strongest of mind,
And brings them to their knees in one blow.
Even in the best of times, love hurts.
It hurts to need, it hurts to belong,
It hurts to be the other part of someone else,
Without either of your consent.
But, from the moment it overtakes you,
It hurts worse to be all alone.
The risk of love never depletes;
It grows stronger and more dangerous with time.
But, it's in the total surrender of all defense,
That we, no matter weak or strong,
No matter willing or captive,
No matter what, we truly experience love.
Despite the many things love is not,
Outweighing it all are the things that love is.
Love is surrender without a loss.
It is a gift without the cost.
It consumes your every thought & desire,
Every breath you take.
It is the fire that fuels you
To do more than pass through life;
It urges you, instead, to live.
No matter the outcome, having felt love,
You will never be the same.
It may scar your heart & soul
And Leave you only memories of forever.
Or, it may cause every day of your life
To feel like there is no need for tomorrow.
But, love is worth it. It is worth the risk...
For in all of life,
Love is truly the only risk worth taking.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SC: I'm sure you're correct! She's probably exhausted. I suppose we'll all just have to wait until tomorrow/later today for RB's and TJ's reports.....
*reminds herself that patience IS a virtue* ;)
BC: I'm glad your tooth is better, sweetcheeks. I forgot to say that earlier. Are you still going to the dentist tomorrow?
Triston: I have a feeling you're talking about writing a new poem.
Let me know when you're done....
;p
And its the biggest risk of all...not for the weak of heart.There is no hiding...and there must be courage and the willingness to make a stand...if not...then its probably not real...for if it is...you will do all of these things.
New Poem...hmmm...maybe tomorrow...I am tooo tired for that tonight.
And on that note I shall bid all of you Ladies and Gentleman a very lovely good night!!!
Thanks sugarplum. I'm not sure. Right now I'm just gonna rest and relax.
And....very good after thoughts from Triston.
WOW! Blogbelieve is filled with love today/tonight!
It's beautiful, isn't it ?!
Goodnight triston, sweet dreams
One Last one to ponder over..Success is never final and failure never fatal. It's courage that counts!
Nite
I find it sickening to be honest wendy, lol ;p
Goodnight Triston! May your rest be filled with pleasant dreams tonight!
goodnight triston sweet dreams, thanks for the dance
SC I am sure she had a fabulous time, you'll have to tell us when she's awake and can put coherent sentences together
I'm off too for a while, housework calls
take care all!
Bleeding Chaos said...
I find it sickening to be honest wendy, lol ;p
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Awww....sweetcheeks! T'is much better than the hateful words that fly around here sometimes!
Psssst....I love LOVE, remember ;)
I also love dark and powerful! Shall we get back to that? :D
Take care ergo. I'm off for the night, feeling kinda down. Goodnight and sweet dreams sugarplum, SC
Goodnight Ergo!!! I'll 'catch' you later, honeybunch.
And, don't forget the scothch!
Eh, its okay I guess. Never experienced love so I don't know what its like.
Goodnight, BC! I hope you feel better soon!
I'm off too, SC and any lurkers. I am loving your nightly visits! I hope to see you tomorrow night!!
Take care, goodnight (for now) and sweet dreams to everyone.
Hugs and Love,
6/Wendy

SURE you have BC! I'm speaking of ALL types of LOVE: friendship, family, pets, teachers, neighbors, nature, faith.... NOT just 'romantic and/or passionate' love. Love is all around us!
I LOVE YOU, BC!!!
Night again, all!
hello everyone. just got back about a half-hour again, and i would've posted right away, but there was this new post-entry thingy from mayo, you see. :)
but i haven't even changed out of my concert duds -- which are cold and sodden, since for the very first time, i made barrier.
it took about three hours, and i almost gave up at one point, but i looked up into the evening sky and saw two stars, and so i said to my gods: if you want me at the barrier, shove me in that direction, if you want me to get pulled and find a quieter spot, shove me backwards.
the next surge sent me forwards several feet. :)
so i stayed, and kept my eye on the front support of the stage (i was on frank's side) and juat kept moving forward with every surge, and when there was no movement, i closed my eyes and rested, all snug and secure by the people packed against me.
and i got to the barrier just after the guys came out. :)
i was really off to the side by then -- couldn't see bob or james at all, and rarely frank if he moved back. but when they were all at the front, i was watching and singing along whenever i had the breath to do so. it was a great experience -- tough, though. the chick i squeezed in next to on the barrier took it very personally and beat on me for a while. i think my back will be very bruised from her elbows, and i'm sure i lost a bit of hair but she didn't do anything to me that my little sister hadn't done back when we were fierce childhood enemies, so *psh*
i'm sore already, my ears are ringing, my head is spinning, i'm completely drained.
i saw ten bands today, including mcr, i got barrier at the beginning of the day with schoolyard heroes, and barrier at the end of the day with mcr.
tomorrow, back on the road, after stopping at the cemetary to say hello to my maternal grandparents, and then up to portland.
and part two and three of spree 08.
typo fairy.
*scowl*
half-hour ago
just, not juat
TJ!!!!!
how fabulous of you to touch base!
any thoughts on mayo?
lol you probably need a bit of time to rest recouperate and perhaps get changed, not saying I can smell you or anything.....
so glad you had a good time. mcr play well? Any high lights?
oh geez, the whole damn show was a highlight ergo! :D
i need to write it all down in my journal while it's fresh, and then translate that into a lj entry (which i know you've been reading -- cute username!) i'm a little superstitious about that, so i won't go into much detail -- it'll be on my lj anyway.
but i'll just say that when they came out onstage, i just lit up -- it's a bit embarrassing actually. but there's never anything wrong when they're onstage, you know? and they played "my way home is through you" and "kill all your friends", and gerard was very delightfully talky, and when they did "cancer", for the first time at a concert it made me cry. i think it was partially a release of the adrenaline and effort of the entire night for me, but when he began to sing, my hands were suddenly shaking, and tears were in my eyes. that song has so many memories for me. i wasn't sobbing, but my face must have reflected the effect of the song, because a couple of the security guards kept giving me concerned looks.
that song was a very unexpected moment for me.
and the security guards were a passel of marines they had brought in that day as extra help -- they had such sweet serious expressions as they helped pull people out. :)
the whole day was fantastic -- it was nothing but music for me. and i didn't get into mcr's performance like i usually do -- wasn't swept up out of myself -- but instead i felt very accomplished and strong. usually i feel like a participant at their shows, but this time i felt like an observer -- i couldn't do half of what gerard told us to do without losing either my breath or my hold on the barrier! but it was as an observer who had won a very great and well-deserved prize, so it was a good trade-off.
looking forward to going back to blissing out at the portland shows, though!
ha. i'll "just" say.
i never "just" say anything, do i?
motormouth.
oh, but gerard had something written on his (sleeveless) arm, but i couldn't quite make it out -- have to wait for pics to surface, sadly. i'm curious!
Sorry for leaving
RB arrived and I was correct in my assumption.
She had a blast and has lost her voice.
Sigh...No Mom, I wasn't able to find toujours, there were thousands of people there.
She was about 10 people away from stage and GW, but had to leave the area after 2 songs, when her boyfriend got hit in the head and passed out for a minute.Luckily, some people helped her get him out of there.
Must be love, for that kind of sacrifice!
They just got back together after a 3week break-up. Earlier in the day,(after 2-24oz beers) In his eagerness to show running bird and all the crowd his true devotion. Her boyfriend, got down on one knee, declared his love and asked her to marry him.
Being the "unromantic" of the two...she was mortified and asked him "What the hell was he doing?"
Right now, they are laughing about it and he is still waiting for a answer.(shakes head)
As you can see, I am not surprised about their shenanigans. Last year, they had a friend marry them at a work party, but then didn't file the paperwork.
Yes! I made sure of that.
Well, that is all the personal drama.I will hopefully find out about BL tomorrow and fill you in.(laughing)
goodnight
`sc
Morning Mayo & Toujours,
I'm glad you had a good night TJ, but it makes it all the more frustrating to be a poor Limey stuck in the UK!
I'm actually pretty much on cloud 9 anyway, because I fulfilled my goal for this year and broke 2 hours for a half marathon yesterday. I don't know my exact time yet but I can't decide which aches more - my legs, or my face from smiling so much.
Running has become really important to me because once the ADs got me out of the house and the CBT got me back into the real world, it's the one thing that finally cured my depression. One in 5 GPs (UK local doctors) now prescribe "exercise therapy" to patients with mild to moderate depressive symptoms after it was shown to be equally as effective as SSRIs in some studies, so it's something to think about!
Have a great day,
Kass xx
P.S. I'm not even going to try and decypher Mayo's post. Non-comedic poetry makes my eyes glaze over...
Oh, and "Hi" to SC too!
congratulations on your accomplishment, kass! that's fantastic!
i agree about the exercise therapy -- when i was in college and having dark days, i learned to make myself leave my dorm room and go for a walk across campus. my theory was that i needed to exchange the air in my lungs.
(my medical sensibilities are sometimes more influenced by galen and medieval ideas, than modern science, i'm afraid. *grin*)
SC sounds like she had a good time up to her boyfriends accident, poor guy, He's ok?
and the proposal! well, interesting relationship lol
at least it shows a lot of affection.
TJ I will look forward to reading your LJ. Thanks so much for giving a little detail...though make sure maybe a bit of info on my favourite guitarist????
haha
have a great day tomorrow, visiting your grandparents will be a lovely thing to do, and have a safe trip.
lotsa love!
hey kass how fantastic- well done!!!
I agree too exercise can definately make an amazing difference.
Hi Ergo! I hope this morning finds you well. And now I must depart to do what I'm actually paid for...
thanks ergo!
i should really get some sleep -- i had hoped to post the lj tonight, but my brain doesn't have the juice for it.
but i printed out the entry and i'll ponder it...and hopefully, i'll have a picture to post later from my weekend!
good night, ergo
good night sll.
*sigh*
all
...but not before leaving a message for the soon to be arriving FASC:
It's only 3 points now bitches! One more slip up on top of the inevitable defeat at the Bridge and your ass will be ours, mwuahahahaha!!
bye kass have a great day!
night TJ sleep well sweet dreams and take care!
night SC
off to have my lamb curry for dinner!
mayo,
if you read my other comments tonight, you'll know exactly how my day went.
and i'm falling asleep at the computer, which is a pretty good indication of how i am now.
so i'll just smile at you, sleepily but fondly, and hope your day was a lovely one.
good night to you, mayo. sweet dreams. mine will be full of music. *grin*
Good *insert time of day here* Mayo, SS, Kass, FASC, Ergo, TJ, SC, the possibly soon to arrive Possum and Miranth, watchers, lurkers, friends, family, the inspired and those who seek inspiration!
How are you all this a.m/p.m
Well, happy, safe and content, I hope!
TJ: Thank you so much for your report! It's sounds as though you had another amazing day!!! Sorry you were a little battered though.
From your retelling of events; I'm sure it was worth a little pain/a few bruises. Just thinking about your reaction during cancer, I have to send you a *big hug*
Stay safe on your travels and have many more wonderful experiences!
SC: Thank you so much for telling us of RB's experience! WOW! A proprosal right in the middle of thousands of people. I don't know if I would have simply melted OR had the exact same "What the hell are doing" reaction she did, LOL!
Let us know her answer......
If she gives him one - sometime this year ;)
Kass: " I fulfilled my goal for this year and broke 2 hours for a half marathon yesterday."
WOO-HOO for you, girl! I hope that smile is on your face for the rest of this week. I think it should be! That sounds like quite an accomplishment!
*applause for Kass*
To ponder today (or just enjoy) - a continuation of the lyrical beauty started by anonymous @12:53a.m.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Travel the world
Traverse the skies
Your home is here
Within my heart
And for the first time
I feel as though I am reborn
In my mind
Recast as child and mystic sage
Who wouldn't be the one you love
Who wouldn't stand inside your love
And for the first time
I'm telling you how much I need and bleed for
Your every move and waking sound
In my time
I'll wrap my wire around your heart and your mind
You're mine forever now
Who wouldn't be the one you love and live for
Who wouldn't stand inside your love and die for
Who wouldn't be the one you love
(Stand Inside Your Love)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I hope the rest of you had a great weekend too!
Have a lovely day, everyone!
Hugs and Love,
~Namaste~

Why does that boy go sleeveless in early spring and yet insist on wearing a leather jacket in the middle of summer?

Morning errbody!
Morning Mayo!
Morning SS!
It's meffin' Monday. >_<
Have a great one!
XOXO,
S&V20
MAYO, I won't pretend for a second that I know exactly what you're talking about, nor will I spend hours trying to find what you meant.But I really enjoyed it anyway.
Truly.... the words move me, and I suppose that's the thing with poetry, we all have our own interpretations.
Some things.... they just make you feel.
Sometimes.... for just a moment I think about putting something I've written on here for all to see.
But then I think better of it.
I hope you're well, content and warm.
xoxo cupcake
Mayo,
Hey, how are ya today? I hope things are just fine in your world. Me? I am so running out of time, so I think I will just leave you with some words today.
Sharp
Tempting
Pretty
Shattered
Pieces
Kept
Holding
Wondering

Mayo, hope you have a beautiful Monday. Remember...there's beauty even in the ugly shit. Look at it from a different angle.
Love to YOU Always,
S
p.s. Question it all.
BlogBelievers and SS,
May your Monday be full of sunshine and hope.
Love you Bunches!
Goodmorning everybody =)
Who is ready to kick some Monday butt?
FASC said,
oh fuck!!
hi!
Fantastic first comment Far!!
You know I'm beginning to think your 'F' in FASC is not what you have lead us to believe ^_^
Is it my imagination or do kiddiwinkles across the globe these days seem to have more holidays than we ever did O_o
RW,
The Ballgown of Doom is so lovely and innocent looking! Evil in disguise >_<
MissT said,
Anon, I have some yellow knickers that are stronger.
They just won't die.
After a nuclear blast there will be rats and my yellow knickers.
MissT you darn near killed me with this!!!
Then OP L good as finished me off with...
And I suspect Keith Richards...
I loled all over the ground like a lint remover ^_^
Kass,
Wow, that's a long way on your own feet in a really short amount of time! Congrats for doing it without a car, and so well!
TJ,
Both My Way Home Is Through You and Kill All Your Friends?!?! ^_^
Thanks so much for sharing your trip with us. It's the next best thing to being there being able to experience it through your eyes.
Even though physically you were on your own you realise there were 40 or so personal body guards around the world keeping an eye on your safety O_O
Now...that hair puller looked like...?
SC,
Thank you so much for passing on RB's concert experience. I hope her 'yet to be decided maybe fiance'has recovered well.
Mayo,
Well, I'll probably be 8000% wrong as usual with your work, and the start of the week is already bad enough without the extra brainnumbing, so I'll just leave it today with...
Gooo00OOOO Monday!!!
*shakes pompoms*
*flips around Mayo's in joy celebrating the start of his working week*
SS,
Hmm, Make-a-wish foundation...blow out the birthday candles make a wish... make a wish upon the evening star...make a wish for the greater good of others...?
Hot? Cold? Not even worth re-heating? O_o

Hope you're having some fun in the spring sun ^_^
'Night all =)

Anyone home!!!!!
Good morning Mayo!
I have a flight in about two hours, so i can not stay.
Just wanted to stop in and say hi!
Will catch up later when i am home.
Hugs
PJ
for my love -- my heart, always
hoping your eyes find these words today
Distant Love
Did you ever say I love you
And the breeze took your words away
Did you feel them as they lingered
Then slowly drifted on their way
Did they journey long, searching for
The distant love you hoped they’d find
Was someone out there listening
For words from heart and mind
Did you ever hear I love you
As the wind blew through the trees
Closed your eyes and felt them there
As they came quietly in the breeze
Did you ever say I love you
And hear it whispered in return
Feeling your distant love beside you
And the desire within you burn
Did you ever see I love you
Floating quietly to you with ease
Wandering peacefully there beside you
Comes I love you in the breeze.
by Dale Whipple
Has anyone experienced a feeling where you love a person so much and yet you know you can't be with them. It is never going to happen and that knowledge hurts so deep inside that you wonder how you are going to get through your life without giving up. You see them going about their life with the person they chose over you and they look happy. You wonder whether they really are happy or do they think they made the wrong choice? Is it wrong to wish unhappiness on them in the hope that they will return?
I go about my life like a fake, pretending it's what I wanted also but nothing could be further from the truth.
I'm Sorry It Took Me So Long, part eight thousand:
Mustard sent a subliminal message a few nights ago and she threw out a line.
Thank you Mayo, you are very kind.
^_____^
I spun my wheels like that for a long time, 12:38, so yeah. I'm sorry you're feeling that way.
Yes, 12:38. It comes and goes.
Hello, world. I hope you are all enjoying yourselves today.
Anon
Love from a distance, can sometimes be the most felt love of all.
Is the "make a wish" on ss's page new?
Is it wrong to wish unhappiness on them in the hope that they will return?
Not wrong just human.
Anonymous,
No, I haven't, but I've felt the same feeling, just a different situation.
Don't give up though. Only let go if you feel like there's no hope either way. It's a hard balance to achieve, but you can't put your life on hold for someone else, you know? Especially if there's not a chance. But, on the contrary, if there is a possibility for things to work out like you'd wish, keep fighting. Something worth having is worth fighing for, yeah?
I dunno if that was good advice or not, but I hope you find some strength in it. :)
Anon, are you in love, or are you in limerence? Me, I was limerent, it's utterly dissatisfying, but it feels the same I guess.
Hey everyone! I can't stay. I have heaps of food on my plate, and I gotta get that stuff taken care of.
I hope you're all doing well!
See ya, Mayo! SS! BBers!
Thank you for you advice and kind words.
Kapunua I am in love with him, I have been for a long time.
Thanks anyway, I just needed to say it to someone. It drives me crazy!
your
Entropy wanted me to say hi from her, she's been on the road for a week and she's finally nearing the end of her concert odyssey. So, hi from Entropy!
Has anyone experienced a feeling where you love a person so much and yet you know you can't be with them. It is never going to happen and that knowledge hurts so deep inside that you wonder how you are going to get through your life without giving up.
Try having them, tearing each other to pieces, losing them, desperately needing to be close to them but knowing that if you do you will end up destroying each other.
"Baring" vs. "bearing" is an interesting choice, Mayo.
Try having them, tearing each other to pieces, losing them, desperately needing to be close to them but knowing that if you do you will end up destroying each other.
GS *hugs* to you!!
anon @ 12.38pm...you too!
hi K!
just cos i love the frankie and bob bit!!
Hi FASC. ^_^ What ya up to today? I just got back from shopping with Mom, cousin and Boychild. Got some flowers to plant and I tried to stalk a cute boy (who actually asked me to stalk him a while back, so really I'm only doing as requested,) but he wasn't there. Ah well! ^_^
You're sure he wasn't there?
What if he, while you were trying to stalk him, was stalking you? Technically, if you were both stalking each other, each other's stalks would cancel out and, therefore, no one was stalking anyone to begin with. O_O
Oh. My. Goodness. I need to remove my head from my ass.
FASC, good to see you! How's your daughter feeling?
hi K!!
that sounds cool...i love the idea of stalking some one!!! i would be fucking crap at it obviously!!
i am good thanks. kids on 2 weeks easter holidays (funny dates this year). it's 21.06 here already, the day has flown. we are just doing loads of family stuff this week so the kids can play with their cousins.....sleepovers and nice meals in, chat and games. all good stuff!
hi mustard!!
she is tonnes better. she has eaten so little and that was very bland stuff! no more vomiting so she should be good to go tomorrow morning. bless her! she is such a skinny thing anyway!!
Wow, that first sentence is odd. Move that "he" around.
Hello everyone.
Have you ever had something that you want ed to say but forgot to say it.
That happen with my review and something someone wrote just reminder me.
GW said that they had been reunited with a kid named Aj after five years they meat him through the make a wish foundation. And they were happy to see he was still around and I think FLW was dedicated to him.
Anyway I am off to take a nap.
That is just no fun, FASC. I'd tell you to make her some pizza or tacos or something, comfort food maybe, when she starts feeling better, but that may not be such a good idea. Probably wouldn't comfort her either. >.<
That's good to know, FASC! I'm glad. :)
Hi MJ. :)
Splash that's a good question. But see I asked another person if he was there and she told me his work schedule. Heeee. Is it night vision glasses time yet?
KIDDING!
No you aren't! You'd totally go Mission Impossible on the dude's ass. With all of your fancy, high-tech shit. You so would. ;)
Never thought I'd say this, but I hope you find him!
Hey, MJ!
Okay, can't stay, but I'll be back momentarily!
Lots o'♥
hi/bye martha!! lewis mentioned that to me i think.
look K and mustard i know my mins here are little but fuck it i gotta go and be with this other person who is staring at me!!!
sorry i was hardly here again!!
have a lovely evening and i will pop in tomorrow briefly!!
love to all!
you too mayo and SS!
Hello Kapu and Mib.
I am off now see you later.
Aww catchya later FASC! ^_^
Splash, well, ya never know. I actually did a little stalking by looking up his email address from our files (hey, he WROTE it, okay?) and his address ends in "420." Umm, I've dated enough druggies to get that reference and I am not going down that road again.
Unless it's his birthday or something. ^_^ But to find that out would take more stalking.
Or, you know, asking. But lord knows I can't just talk to people. O_O
Hi and bye Fasc
And blogger is a but head
Bye
last night at bamboozle gerard said that he had moved to Los Angeles.
with the way he has been acting , he should fit right in with all the other sleazy rock stars there.
Oh, I am 420 friendly, I just don't partake, and I don't want it around me, like in my car and stuff. I totally think it should be legal and people should do whatever the hell they want etc. and it seems less harmful than drinking and smoking, but I don't like smoke in general. I don't even like incense, you know? So I guess that would cross him off the list.
This dude looks like Brian Schecter, no joke.

Sadly, I agree. It's probably gonna change him for the worse, too. That place is just icky.
LA is going to destroy what's left of everything he was.
Hi mayo, Hi everyone. How are you?
*waves to Entropy* Hope you are enjoying your trip.
PP, I'm glad you liked my knickers story. Honestly radiation and nuclear war couldn't kill them.
SC, Ergo and Wendy, glad you liked my pizza=love comment. You know I get emotional when talking about pizza.
How is everyone tonight?
I know I've only just got here but I'm gonna have to pop off for a wee.
BRB.
I'm back.
That feels better.
MissT, you just told lots of people you were going to the bathroom. How does that make you feel? ;)
RE: Moving on up (moving on up)/To the west side/ To the deluxe Crib-worthy pads/ In the city of angels
Good for him and Lindsey if that's where they'd like to be. I doubt they'll get any privacy out there, but I guess that's not really an issue anymore, now is it? *slaps own hand*
And wouldn't that make, I dunno, making new music difficult? Four east coasters versus one west coaster. Wonder how that will work out.
Hi mustard sweetie, how are you?
Yeah, I told people I was off to the bathroom. See how I open my hearts to you people. No secrets here ha ha ha ha!
he's a fool
look who's talking.
'Mayo' has never talked about moving, and if it was Gerard then he would have said something. That proves that 'Mayo' is not Gerard once in for all.
Also Gerard and LA deserve each other.
Hello everyone. Miss T, lol *giggle snort*
Bob lives in Chicago MIB, it's no big deal.
Oh, mj, was it the simple question I asked earlier that nobody would answer that reminded you?
I would visit L.A. only once, and then like, I would run the hell away from there. I would only visit there to see where they film my favorite shows, and that's about it.
Also Gerard and LA deserve each other.
An unfortunate observation, one with which I sadly agree.
However we know that Mayo is not Gerard; he's said so a few times. ^_^ From the beginning, actually. :)
That's why Bob is awesome anon ^_^
Okay, so three east coasters, one mid-westerner, then Gerard who's in California.
Hey, whatever floats the dude's boat. I don't care. I'm sure they'll work it out.
Hi BC, how are you sweetie? How's the toothache?
I told you you should have sent your birthday cake to me.
Hi K, how are you sweetie? How's the kung Fu? Swords wasn't it last time? How is that?
look who's talking.
Great movie by the way!
5:06, and you know?
Hey ya!
