There are so many things missing, last night
Last week, and now quieted by irreverence
Two feet deep and thick with sickness
We are lost and no longer linger. Still
I can reason your denial in difference
Came upon you for thought, and mine
I must say thrust upon me in shame.
I shut my book to save your eyes.
Who is lost in plain sight can speak
As you have always claimed, in truth.
p.s. with an uncompromised view for any other is...well, it is compromised.

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.

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.

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.

Since that was both backwards AND inverted,
here are the same words, now unconverted:
Though I hate my reflection
there is one use for the mirror:
logophilia reversed
backwards word affection
and it becomes clearer
though no less perverse.

Ummm, yes. PPU and I will be performing hits from Dirty Dancing on Can You Duet?
Mayo and I will get down to the nitty-gritty truth on The Moment of Truth.
SS and I can be a team and invent some cool new gadget on The Next Great American Inventor. (Or something like that)
RW and I can be a couple on Dancing with the Stars.
Who else? Wanna?

I'm getting so sleepy. Will I make it to the new comment BlogBelieve record?
I dunno.

so mayo is waiting for us to break the record? Or would he post a new blog at like 10 to go?
Just to be annoying
You need 4675 comments to beat the record.
I want to be on Deal or no Deal!
Just because I'm lame and would walk away with the first offer of 32,000 dollars.

I promise I won't write the Longest Word In The World backwards on this blog ever again!
Now, where was it that I saw the Longest Name For A Chain Of Amino Acids at?

Anon, it's up to you to keep us on top of the record. Is that cool?
Some how I think Mayo is totally going let this one slide by... I'm waiting for the confetti and bubbles... Where's Shaunette when you need her?!
Guys,
I just heard the most fucked up news story. Apparently a kindergarten teacher gave her class the option to make a list of all the things they didn't like about one little boy in her class. They then proceeded to "vote him out" of the class.
WHAT THE MOTHERFUCKING FUCK??

I hope there was a brawl in the parking lot after school.
Vote my kid out of school? I vote your face inverted on itself.

Well, that's about the saddest thing I've read all day. How cruel can someone be, and an adult no less?
That is horrible, Solly. Was she fired?
Yes, I heard that shit and it made me feel sick.
That teacher is now on administrative leave, but still.....
WHAT THE MOTHERFUCKING FUCK?
Can you be (G)entle?
Alwayz! ;)
And she would get a beatdown and I would own that effin' school.
Just sayin'....
You don't mess with my child period. Or anyone else's if I have any control over it. >_<
Ergo, Mayo likes to be annoying, I think. Or maybe he doesn't even care, or he could be out and about, checking in on his cell, laughing, and then we are left wondering...a twisted little game he plays.
31 to go.
Just because you're an Adult, it doesn't mean you're mature.
I'm sure there are many good and bad examples of that. That teacher is a bad example. A good example (I can't believe I'm saying this) is Walt Disney.

The little boy is a "special needs" student and is currently undergoing tests for autism.
Way to go, teach! Fuck those kids up early!
Gah! Now you got me all pissed off right before I go to bed. Somebody will be shot in my dreams tonight. I can feel it.
When secretary captain Tadanobu heard certain baseless and ridiculous rumors that were circulating concerning me, he set about abusing my name quite horribly. I heard that he'd been saying in the privy chamber that he wondered how he could ever have regarded me as a decent person. I was very distressed and ashamed, but I laughed it off, saying, 'It would be a different matter at all if this were actually true, but as things stand he's bound to learn the truth sooner or later and change his mind. Not long after this, however, Tadanobu happened to hear my voice as he was passing the Black Door, and he shielded his face with his sleeve, and wouldn't so much as glance in my direction.... So I in turn chose to never look his way and in turn remain silent, and thus things continued till the end of the second month.
I feel like we're counting down to New Year's or something.
*digs around in the trunk at the foot of her bed for glasses, hats and confetti*
Where'd we hide the streamers?

Oh, and she's on administrative leave? Ummm, she should never be allowed to be around children ever, ever, EVER!
That's pathetic. People like that need a huge fucking reality check.
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

This show is just icky.
Just breathe! ^_^
Hay! It's Shaunette!
Shaunette, did you bring the streamers?

You're on the final stretch lovelies, but who will be the winner?
Administrative Leave
Yeah, and therein lies the problem with tenure. Don't even get me started.
holy cow where did the sheep come from?
*pets shaunette*
Ohhhh, so it's a race?
>_<
Muwahaha!
It was pouring rain, and we were all bored.Tadanobu, who was secluded in the palace as part of an imperial abstinence, apparently declared, 'I must admit that it's a shame that things are so frosty between her and me. I think I'll say something to her.'
This was reported to me, but all I replied was, "I'll believe it when I see it!"
ME!
Breathe no smoke
Ummm, no. No it's not, Solly.
Hey Lovelies, What's up?
I am now eating ice cream!
I'm sad about Sydney Pollack.

The gentlewomen were gathered in the room beyond the threshold, where they had drawn up a lamp and were playing a writing game. 'Oh good!' they cried when they saw me, 'Come and join us!' - but I just wasn't in the mood, and it seemed a bit pointless to have come....
Suddenly a maid appeared and loudly announced the arrival of a message for me.
It was Smokey!

'The secretary captain asks that you be given this,' he said, handing me a letter. "Please be quick to reply."
"Considering how he hates me, I wonder what he can have written?" I thought, but it wouldn't do to look right away so...I told the man I would send a reply later....
'This is just like something out of the old tales,' I thought wryly. I looked at the letter.... There was nothing in it to justify my nervousness. He had written the line from Bo Juyi, "You are there in the flowering capital, beneath the brocade curtains," he added. "How should it end, tell me?"
Oh please, her tiara already won't fit on her big hair! Don't make her head any bigger.

Haven't tried them all at once. Hmmmm, I'll have to give it a shot though.
Oh, I totally let you win. All of you. I didn't want to win at all.

And

Congratulations!

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the King's horses, And all the King's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again!
I seized a piece of dead charcoal from the brazier and simply wrote at the end of his letter, in Japanese script,
"Who will come visiting this grass-thatched hut?"
...We all went to bed, and the first thing the next morning I went back to my room. Not long after I arrived, the Minamoto Captain was heard crying in grandiose tones, 'Is this 'Grass-thatched Hut' present?"
"How extraordinary," I said. "Why should you think anyone with such a depressing name might be here? Now if you'd asked for "Jewelled Palace," you might have got an answer."
"Ah good. So you were in your room after all," he said. "I was just going to go ask after you at her Majesty's quarters," and he proceeded to relay to me the events of the evening....
Mustard,
The Trophy should read...
Princess Some&Venom20
The Ho dat slept wit da rake
and who is not that Princessy
Do the Humpty-hump!
Solly,
Jelluzy is a very ugly thing. Need I remind you? As if.

She shall have music wherever she goes.

Sing a song of sixpence, a pocket full of rye;
Four-and-twenty blackbirds baked in a pie.
When the pie was open'd, the birds began to sing.
Wasn't that a dainty dish to set before a king?
The king was in the counting house, counting out his money;
The queen was in the parlor, eating bread and honey;
The maid was in the garden, hanging out the clothes;
There came a little dickie bird, and popped upon her nose!
Bye bye Miss American pie.
A tiara for Sock!
*digs one out from the trunk in her room*

"...Tadanobu admitted that since you and he had broken off relations, he hadn't felt right about it. '...I jsut hate the way she seems to shrug the whole thing off without a thought...! Why don't we test her once and for all tonight?'
So everyone put their heads together and sent along that message....
No sooner had he gone then he was back again. 'Here you are,' says he, and hands over the message.
Tadanobu saw that it was his own letter. 'So she sent it back!' he said, but as he spoke he looked more closely, and the next instant he cried, 'Oh! How extraordinary! Whatever's this?'
'What a clever rogue she is,' we said...
Your name has now become 'Grass-Thatched Hut' he added, and off he hastened.

You know I'm gonna leave
You know I'm gonna go-o, woman
I'm gonna leave you woman
Goodbye American Woman
Goodbye American chick
goodnight sdock and smoke sweet dreams
Heyyy... Lenny Hendrix!

When little Birdie bye-bye goes, quiet as mice in churches,
He puts his head where no one knows, on one leg he perches.
When little Babie bye-bye goes, on Mamma's arm reposing,
Soon he lies beneath the clothes, safe in the cradle dozing.
When pretty Pussy goes to sleep, tail and nose together,
Then little mice around her creep, lightly as a feather.
When little Babie goes to sleep, and he is very near us,
Then on tip-toe softly creep, that Babie may not here us.
Lullaby, Lullaby, Lulla-Lulla- Lullaby.
I was just remarking how awful it was to think of going down in history with such a dreadful name attached to me, when Assistant to the Palace Repairs Norimitsu arrived. 'I've just been looking for you at Her Majesty's quarters, to express my heartfelt joy at the wonderful news! ...I could barely wait until morning to congratulate you on the wonderful thing that happened last night. There couldn't be a greater honor!
...Tadanobu said that he was prepared to dismiss all thoughts of you from his mind, depending on your response. Everyone got together and came up with something to send you.... When the messenger brought your message back, I was in a sweat to know what it was, since it struck me that if your response wasn't up to par, that would reflect badly on me as "elder brother" as well. But of course it was anything but, in fact it was excellent, and everyone was full of praise!'
Bye!
Goosie Goosie gander, whither shall I wander?
Upstairs and downstairs, and in my lady's chamber;
There I met an old man, who would not say his prayers;
I took him by the left leg, and threw him down the stairs.
When I contemplated how innocent I'd been in this full-scale involvement in the plot, it made me nervous all over again to think how easily I could have disgraced myself!
...While we were talking, a message came from Her Majesty summoning me immediately, so I went and presented myself. She too wanted to talk about the incident. It seems His Majesty had laughed about it and told her the story. 'All the gentlemen have written your reply on their fans,' she informed me. I was amazed....
Anyway, after that Tadanobu no longer raised that shielding sleeve when we met.
A long, long time ago...
I can still remember
How that music used to make me smile.
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And, maybe, theyd be happy for a while.
But february made me shiver
With every paper Id deliver.
Bad news on the doorstep;
I couldnt take one more step.
I cant remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride,
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died.
So bye-bye, miss american pie.
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
And them good old boys were drinkin whiskey and rye
Singin, thisll be the day that I die.
Thisll be the day that I die.
Did you write the book of love,
And do you have faith in God above,
If the Bible tells you so?
Do you believe in rock n roll,
Can music save your mortal soul,
And can you teach me how to dance real slow?
Well, I know that youre in love with him
`cause I saw you dancin in the gym.
You both kicked off your shoes.
Man, I dig those rhythm and blues.
I was a lonely teenage broncin buck
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck,
But I knew I was out of luck
The day the music died.
I started singin,
Bye-bye, miss american pie.
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin whiskey and rye
And singin, thisll be the day that I die.
Thisll be the day that I die.
Now for ten years weve been on our own
And moss grows fat on a rollin stone,
But thats not how it used to be.
When the jester sang for the king and queen,
In a coat he borrowed from james dean
And a voice that came from you and me,
Oh, and while the king was looking down,
The jester stole his thorny crown.
The courtroom was adjourned;
No verdict was returned.
And while lennon read a book of marx,
The quartet practiced in the park,
And we sang dirges in the dark
The day the music died.
We were singing,
Bye-bye, miss american pie.
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin whiskey and rye
And singin, thisll be the day that I die.
Thisll be the day that I die.
Helter skelter in a summer swelter.
The birds flew off with a fallout shelter,
Eight miles high and falling fast.
It landed foul on the grass.
The players tried for a forward pass,
With the jester on the sidelines in a cast.
Now the half-time air was sweet perfume
While the sergeants played a marching tune.
We all got up to dance,
Oh, but we never got the chance!
`cause the players tried to take the field;
The marching band refused to yield.
Do you recall what was revealed
The day the music died?
We started singing,
Bye-bye, miss american pie.
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin whiskey and rye
And singin, thisll be the day that I die.
Thisll be the day that I die.
Oh, and there we were all in one place,
A generation lost in space
With no time left to start again.
So come on: jack be nimble, jack be quick!
Jack flash sat on a candlestick
Cause fire is the devils only friend.
Oh, and as I watched him on the stage
My hands were clenched in fists of rage.
No angel born in hell
Could break that satans spell.
And as the flames climbed high into the night
To light the sacrificial rite,
I saw satan laughing with delight
The day the music died
He was singing,
Bye-bye, miss american pie.
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin whiskey and rye
And singin, thisll be the day that I die.
Thisll be the day that I die.
I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news,
But she just smiled and turned away.
I went down to the sacred store
Where Id heard the music years before,
But the man there said the music wouldn't play.
And in the streets: the children screamed,
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed.
But not a word was spoken;
The church bells all were broken.
And the three men I admire most:
The father, son, and the holy ghost,
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died.
And they were singing,
Bye-bye, miss american pie.
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
And them good old boys were drinkin whiskey and rye
Singin, thisll be the day that I die.
This'll be the day that I die.
They were singing,
Bye-bye, miss american pie.
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin whiskey and rye
Singin, this'll be the day that I die.
The spiderman is having me for dinner tonight!
Night Solly ♥
Parts of Family Guy sure are annoying...

No, I don't believe in luck.
No, I don't believe in circumstance no more.
Accidents never happen in a perfect world, so I won't believe in luck.
I saw you walking in the dark, so I slipped behind your footsteps for a while.
Caught you turning 'round the block...
Fancy meeting in a smaller world.
After all, accidents never happen.
Could have planned it all.
Precognition in my ears.
Accidents never happen in a perfect world.
Complications disappear.
Now you love me.
I, yeah, I can tell.
I never lied.
I never cried.
And you, you knew so well.
Like the Magi on the hill, I can divinate your presence from afar.
And I'll follow you until I can bring you to a perfect world.
Accidents never happen in a perfect world.
Accidents never happen.
A long, long time ago
In a galaxy far away
Naboo was under an attack
And I thought me and Qui-Gon Jinn
Could talk the federation in
To maybe cutting them a little slack
But their response, it didn't thrill us
They locked the doors and tried to kill us
We escaped from that gas
Then met Jar Jar and Boss Nass
We took a bongo from the scene
And we went to Theed to see the Queen
We all wound up on Tatooine
That's where we found this boy
Oh
My my this Anakin guy
May be Vader someday later
Now he's just a small fry
He left his home
And kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin'
"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
Did you know this junkyard slave
Isn't even old enough to shave
But he can use the Force, they say
Ahh, do you see him hitting on the queen
Though he's just nine and she's fourteen
Yeah, he's probably gonna marry her someday
Well, I know he built C-3PO
And I've heard how fast his pod can go
And we were broke, it's true
So we made a wager or two
He was a prepubescent flyin' ace
And the minute Jabba started off that race
Well, I knew who would win first place
Oh yes, it was our boy
We started singin'
My my this Anakin guy
May be Vader someday later
Now he's just a small fry
And he left his home
And kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin'
"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
Now we finally got to Coruscant
The Jedi Council we knew would want
To see how good the boy could be
So we took him there and we told the tale
How his midi-chlorians were off the scale
And he might fulfill that prophecy
Oh the Council was impressed of course
Could he bring balance to the Force?
They interviewed the kid
Oh, training they forbid
Because Yoda sensed in him much fear
And Qui-Gon said "Now listen here"
"Just stick it in your pointy ear"
"I still will teach this boy"
He was singin'
My my this Anakin guy
May be Vader someday later
Now he's just a small fry
And he left his home
And kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin'
"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
We caught a ride back to Naboo
'Cause Queen Amidala wanted to
I frankly would've liked to stay
We all fought in that epic war
And it wasn't long at all before
Little hotshot flew his plane and saved the day
And in the end some Gungans died
Some ships blew up and some pilots fried
A lot of folks were croakin'
The battle droids were broken
And the Jedi I admire most
Met up with Darth Maul and now he's toast
Well, I'm still here and he's a ghost
I guess I'll train this boy
And I was singin'
My my this Anakin guy
May be Vader someday later
Now he's just a small fry
And he left his home
And kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin'
"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
We were singin'
My my this here Anakin guy
Maybe Vader someday later
Now he's just a small fry
And he left his home
And kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
oh hi entropy I didn't know you were there
bye and take care
Thanks for posting, 11:12. It's probably one of my favorite songs ever.
You know I used to be a bad girl
I got busy in the bathroom at my high school prom
Yeah I used to be a dancer at the local strip club
But now I know my right wing from my wrong
Yeah, yeah
I really used to be a bad girl
I had a threesome with my sister and her boyfriend Tom
I know I used to be a real wild child
But now I am a Volvo-driving soccer mom
Na-na na-na na-na na-na na-na na-na
I really used to be a bad girl
I got busted for possession of my wizard-shaped bong
I used to love to do the things they tell me not to do
But now I'm different--now I sing a new song
I really used to be a bad girl
I got gang-banged in the bathroom at my high school prom
Yes, I used to be a real wild child
But now I am a Volvo-driving soccer mom
Na-na na-na na-na na-na na-na na-na
Where do all the porn stars go
When the lights go down?
I wonder where all the porn stars go
'Cause when you need one, they are never around
I think they moved out to the suburbs
And now they're blonde, bland, middle-class Republican wives
They all have blonde, bland, middle-class Republican children
Blonde, bland, middle-class Republican lives
Where do all the porn stars go
When the lights go down?
I think I know where all the porn stars go
They all become Volvo-driving soccer moms
amy I love that song!
anon if you find yourself being asked to wear a very nice but confining silk wrap...RUN!!!
"Get in the car!"
I thought that part was funny.
You can totally be watching another episode since they have them on like, 3 channels and other times and all that.
Bye Entropy! From your like, real life friend and stuff. Who shares your Sidney Pollack grief. He may not have written Japanese death poems, but he entertained the hell out of me on more than one occasion.
Ergo one of my favorites!
Goodnight Entropy! Hello Carrie!
-A
Bye, Carrie! Thanks for sharing. That be true stuff right there.
11:12, thanks for that. I embraced my inner Robert, whilst reading it, completely by accident. I guess there is no other way to read it. :)
I wasn't actually leaving just talking to that one anon.
Wait, who's leaving?

May 27, 2008 11:22 PM
Wait, which Anon?
Oh , ha! I thought Entropy was leaving so I was all bye and all.
oh sorry entropy I didn't get the connection *duh* so hi how are you?
Hi carrie too
You were a Sidney Pollack fan too, he made some lovely movies and such a short time from diagnosis to demise, poor guy and his family
Carrie, Entropy, nice to see you!
....
Mustard, I agree. 100%. Great song...or was it the whole album...yes it was/is. :)
There's less of us here now than there's been all night, and I don't think I've been more confused!
Also, Indy 4 was awesome!
-A
Oh, woah. My power not working anymore?
He may not have written Japanese death poems,
Hahaa!! Ok it's not just me then. Yes she is NEVER EVER going to shut up now he's put her shit on the side of the page.
What?
Entropy, did your power go out?
-A
I will follow you
Follow you wherever you may go
There isn't an ocean too deep
A mountain so high it can keep me away
I must follow you
Ever since you touched my hand I know
The near you I always must be
And nothing can keep you from me
You are my destiny
I love you, I love you, I love you
And where you go I'll follow, I'll follow, I'll follow
You'll always be my true love, my true love, my true love
From now until forever, forever, forever
I will follow you
Follow you wherever you may go
There isn't an ocean too deep
A mountain so high it can keep
Keep me away, away from my love
I love you, I love you, I love you
And where you go I'll follow, I'll follow, I'll follow
You'll always be my true love, my true love, my true love
From now until forever, forever, forever
I will follow you
Follow you wherever you may go
There isn't an ocean too deep
A mountain so high it can keep
keep me away, away from my love
And where you go I'll follow
Hey Ergo, Amy, and Anima! Everytime I say harrumph, I am not gonna post on this stupid blog any more, you guys suck me back in. Good to hear about the Indy movie, looking forward to it.
I'm out you guys.
I missed being here. Thanks for everything.
Goodnight and goodday for the next.
♥ to all of you.
Thankyou Carrie for seeing what I see and for just being......You, for not being afraid to say what is right. Some people will never understand, true talent. But you seem to get it.
Thank you anon. I feel bad for thanking you, but since she doesn't READ THIS, it doesn't matter.
I guess so!
Goodnight Anima!
Hallo Cupid!

This is my favorite part for some reason.
Every time I hear this song, I get this overwhelming fear of going deaf and having the music die for me.
Carrie don't let her get to you. She has her shit friends and her shit poems and Mayo just encourages all the...... the SHIT. But not everyone agrees with her or them! Not everyone is a fan of those said shit poems either. You are better then all of them so don't let it bother you.
goodnight anima sweet dreams!
Entropy, that's odd.
Carrie, I can still see you. I'm in the shithouse too anyway. Indy 4 was great! They work well with Harrison being quite a bit older than he was, and it works in the movie. I'll wait until you've seen it to talk any more about it though~
-A
Amyranth you are ALSO better then HER and all the ass kissers. Please keep saying what you are saying, don't let anyone stand in the way of that and don't let it bother you!!
Every time I hear this song, I get this overwhelming fear of going deaf and having the music die for me.
Apparently the whole song is nothing but symbolism, but that makes it even more interesting. Every chorus refers to something that happens in American Music History.
-A
wow everyones name says blogger amyranth etc that's never happened before
Anon, I'm not saying that, I do think she has talent, I do. And I don't think her friends are shit, I think, or at least I hope, that some of her friends are my friends too. I just, I don't know, I made a mistake, it wasn't forgiven, I don't understand how some people can be like that. I think forgiveness is an integral part of being human.
Apparently the whole song is nothing but symbolism, but that makes it even more interesting. Every chorus refers to something that happens in American Music History.
Yep.
A long time ago (no pun) I posted the symbolic references.

But Anon, not everyone who hangs out with Jules is an asskisser. They are friends with her, and I get along with them too.
The problem is that you can't say anything. I'm glad that we can all stick up for each other, but...
Ah fuck. I'll just shut up now.
-A
Okay, yeah. Sorry, Amy. I was being wierd. I was talking about my super power of invisibility.
People started talking to me and it was weird.
I seeeee dead to K peeeeple
drinks on me

Entropy, did you ever see Mystery Men?
"I'm invisible! Can you see me?"
"Yes!"
"You might want to put some underwear on, if you want to keep fighting evil today..."
-A
The problem is that you can't say anything. I'm glad that we can all stick up for each other, but...
Ah fuck. I'll just shut up now.
You SHOULD be able to say whatever you want.
amy and mustard as long as Madonna isn't singing it it's good!
Oh I got my MUSE shirt this morning too! I'll be wearing it titoring this afternoon
Holy Shithouse Breweries!
-A
But Anon, not everyone who hangs out with Jules is an asskisser. They are friends with her, and I get along with them too.
No I get it too, but she is the biggest problem here. I hate what Mayo did because it's only going to encourage her more.
Thank you so much for that link! My husband is an avid home brewer, so all that stuff makes him happy.
Amy I loved Mystery Men - lamest super hero's ever!
*takes drink from shithouse*
I think it's natural some people get on and others don't, we don't have to love everything everyone on here does or says, but forgiving and/or moving on is important.It's a shame shit happens but it's human nature.
Anonymous said...
You SHOULD be able to say whatever you want.
It's a nice theory. But here's the problem. In order to be able to say anything we want, we'll probably have a small war break out here. I have no problem with discussing things rationally, but some things can't be talked about with any kind of reason at all. I'm sure you've seen that.
In order for me to support "say what I wanna say", I'd have to support everyone saying ANYTHING they want. Even the very, very hurtful stuff I've seen come out from time to time.
Six of one, half dozen of the other.
-A
you're welcome Carrie
everyone else too
enjoy the brew!
Anons, I should not have refreshed before leaving, but regardless it happened. Please understand that your remarks, as they do acknowledge a few others that are really amazing people, you follow it up with an insult to another.
In my opinion, not that it matters, but just let it go. You are only bringing attention to the one thing that bothers you. It only makes sense to stop mentioning it.
I haven't. But that was funny all the same.
Ooh, Ergo, was it the one you linked that one time? It's really cute.
And awesome link!
carrie we home brew too!
oh YAY ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I didn't even notice! So this is a record no of pages now too!
It only makes sense to stop mentioning it.
No it doesn't. That's just letting her run wild on the blog. People have to speak up against what they believe is wrong.
Also, I was not even the one who brought her up! So don't even blame me!
run wild and free ...like the tofudebeest
A lot of people home brew nowadays, apparently, it's getting more expensive with the grain shortage.
Ergo, how do you find life in Australia? Expensive?
-A
Even though she got what she deserves in real life, on the blog she is still running her mouth and ignoring people SHE does not like. I can not guess what Mayo was thinking on his latest move of basically giving her free reign.
Ergo, it is the record! I wonder what the general Blogger record is...hmmmm.
Anon, you should say what you want...and I'm totally okay with it, but don't you think you might be feeding the fire.
We hear you. We have heard it a million times. Mayo has heard you. What more do you want? I'm only trying to help...honestly for your sake. Just let it go.
I hate that whole blurp blurp blurp stage, and when he calls me from work to ask if it's blurping. Annie loves it though, she's obsessed with Yeast, claims she wants to be a Yeastologist.
Oh, Terry planted his own hops!! I'm just happy that they are ornamental as well as useful.
