and hammer again
Louder
and louder still
Listen
and listen again
until you have heard everything that I have to say
And so I stay
and what I found
while at your side
was the moon all along
smooth calcified cockles
and a tangled mass of slime
a child’s bucket bobbing out to sea
Some of it stays
some of it goes
p.s. would I?

«Oldest ‹Older 2201 – 2400 of 2647 Newer› Newest»Thank you, P. I am currently waffling between two passions of mine: teaching literature, and holistic medicine. Teaching would only require two more years of school since I already have my bachelor's. Medicine would require four more and the school is a lot farther away. I am passionate about both things, but I know I can only currently afford to do one and the decision isn't an easy one.
Getting into either school isn't even a consideration. I had a 3.7 average and my electives were all pre-med classes.
I just have to decide, and it's tough.
Or some publisher could snap up my silly novel and give me a hundred million dollars. ;D
Princess, HIIIIII!
P. anon, your name reminds me of that song by The Rentals, "Friends Of P."
8:25 well I am at the moment sitting at th4e computer , facing forward, waiting for a load of washing to finish ;P
on a broader scale I'm in Australia and have enough of our own domestic politics to winge about, such as performance based pay for teachers which is being bandied about
you have a good day too
K I think I'm lucky here a lot of the time
but now the door for you has opened up to possibly make that career change. see fate has a way of giving us the boot sometimes.

K
don't know if i know that one. *writes down to google later*
p.
You sure are, Ergo.
I agree, P anon. I just wasn't getting my ass out of that situation fast enough and I needed to be moved along. I wish it had happened sooner, but you know, wish in one hand, crap in the other and see which fills up quicker.
Oh, it was a cute song!
got the idea from a movie is saw "Little Chenier a Cajun Story". There was mental- challenged boy named pemon (i kinda of played with the letters to come up with the name)
p.
Hi p
I can't find my nail polish remover :[
hi ergo
looked under the sink cabinet?
p.
I never saw it, but I swear you just made me think of Tropic Thunder again. ;)
K
Why tropic thunder?
p.
i didn't see the movie but my son and hubby did
p.
Oh, because of Simple Jack and how Hollywood so loves their sensitive portrayals of disabled people. ;D The whole thing was a huge satire on the false sincerity and he huge egos of Hollywood.
Plus RDJ. ^_____^
oh yeah "you can never go full on retard" so offensive on soo many levels.
p.
You should get out of the house sometimes K and stop spending it in front of the computer
P, the offense that so many people took to that were so out of context. RDJ in "black face," the use of the word "retard" etc. In the context of the movie, it was a stinging satire on the people who actually did do and say those things. It was to demonstrate how insincere and exploitative Hollywood is. So many people missed that point.
RDJ plays an actor so self-obsessed and yet so lost that he doesn't even know who he is; he hides inside of characters no matter how stupid he looks, or how it insults other people. There is another African American in it who constantly makes him look like the ass that he is, only he never sees it because he's so self-involved.
And the character "Tugg Speedman" who once played "Simple Jack" is a satire on all the actors who think that they are doing a favor by condescending to play a mentally challenged role, yet in the end it's still about their ego and still about the big bucks.
It was a really sly satire and very, very funny. :)
*Was so out of context, I meant to say. Not "were." WTF. O_o
♥♥
:)
Go away K you have monopolized the blog enough. People came in here earlier to talk and you were still here babbling and you chase them away..... as usual. Don't you notice that people don't want to be on here when you are.... Yeah thought so. Doesn't matter to you though does it?
No anon, I don't suppose it does. ^_^
P I haven't actually
I got distracted watching the end of Drake and Josh, with my daughter, it's a very funny little show.
I shall look now
AND WHAT!
I wanna go see Tropic Thunder tomorrow!!!
it wasn't there but I found it!!
it had fallen behind a cupboard :]
hi smoke
Hi Ergo!
Princess, see it; it is crazy funny and very sharp.
Okay, I will admit to you my favorite part because I am shallow.
There's a part with RDJ as Kirk Lazarus as Osirus as Chinese Farmer, right? I know that's hard to follow but you'll get it when you see it. Anyway, as Kirk Lazarus he's got blue contacts but as Kirk Lazarus as Osiris he's (well, obviously) got the usual brown eyes right, so anyway he's playing this dude playing a dude playing a dude and he's dressed up as a farmer and he's wearing a mask so that all you can see is his eyes.
Hot. As. Hell. Just the eyes, that's all.
I swear, I'm a whore for the little details.
OMG, I'm gonna hear your voice the whole time I'm watching it. I swear. Hee-hee. ^_^
I can't wait to see it. I think Solly and I are gonna go tomorrow.
YAY!
I'm jealous that you are seeing it for the first time. ;)
Yeah, think of me at that part, okay, when all you can see is his dark eyes and he is saying random and stupid things about farming in Chinese.
I CAME.
Also think of me during the "Satan's Alley" part. It will give you the LOLs, I promise. :)
Stop it! Hahahaha!!!
I can't wait to read what you guys think of it!
I'd like to see it too smoke, but I hardly ever get to the movies, we live too far away and never seem to get motivated
we have a family lunch bbq tomorrow but don't really know if we should go, everyone else seems to be sick and we don't want to catch anything before our holiday. My dad in law is moving away in a couple of weeks so we want to for that reason, but it seems we are the only family (apart from them) who aren't sick, apparently my nephew (who's 18 mths or so) has been overnight in hospital with bronchitis and some of the rest of the family has viruses too.
I'm hungry and I don't have anything to eat. :(
Damn it.
Princess, before we meet up in FL I will try to remember to put together a package for you and Solly, with all kinds of stuff that I buy up here, like yummy pomegranate sauce and goji berry bread and junk like that. I will try to remember and see if I can't get Mummy and Daddy K to bring it to FL when they drive down! (I will be flying with my cousins and The Boychild.)
Oh no, Ergo! That's terrible! God, you say BBQ and I almost say it's worth taking the chance of getting sick! LOL!
I can understand not wanting to go though.
Awww, K! You are too sweet! So, ummm, what would you like from Georgia? We have peanuts, pecans, peaches and grits.
^_^
Everything else is fried. Come to think of it, those things can be fried, too. O_o
well it's great to get together,and bbq is good and we haven't seen hubby's brother and family for a few weeks,(though these are the ones who forget my birthday regularly and are never in touch unless they want something and ......I could go on but I wont, lol) but getting sick wouldn't be good, the things going around are nasty
Just you guys, that's all! ^_^
Luckily, we have local BBQ joints all over town. Yum. :)
Tater salad is my favorite thing in the whole wide world.
Next to peanut butter, potato chips, macaroni and cheese and BLT sandwiches.
Gah! I'm hungry!
I'm bringing your ass some grits. To get you back for all the Nutella harassment. ^_~
You're going to bring them to my ass? O_O
Okay, do grits have meat in them? 'Cause if not, I'm all about it.
Dude, I am bringing Nutella and you are going to taste some, and you are going to LIKE it. ^_^
My parents are home frome their trip.
They did not have a good time.
Nope, no meat!
Not everyone likes grits though. LHM won't go near grits. Of course, he hates mac & cheese, too. I don't know who's child that is but he ain't mine.
Oh no, RW! Why? What happened?
Grits are potatoes right? Yum!
RW, I hope everything's okay?
my daughter eats nutella by the spoonful after school
I have to ration her
I love potato salad too smoke, and egg salad, but I love cheese best
we don't have specific bbq restaurants over here though, I think as everyone does it themselves. It's a very aussie type of gathering
oh what happened RW?
was it the getting sick?
Hi, guys :)
It was the getting sick, and my sister acting much like she did when she was a surly, selfish teenager.
At least they enjoyed spending time with their grandson.
They're made from corn. I put a ton of cheese in mine or a ton of butter and salt. Yummy!
Ergo,
We have BBQ's and cookouts all the time down south but we also have places on every corner that serve nothing but those types of foods. Everyday. All the time. O_o
Awww, I hate that they didn't have a great time. That sucks. :(
Just to let you know how important BBQ is around these here parts, we have the National BBQ Convention in our town every year. All these teams come from all over the U.S. to compete for what, I have no idea. Money, I guess. And bragging rights.
Anyhoo, enough with the BBQ. Sorry!
Awww, RW, that sucks. >_<
Hi Guys,
How are you all doin?
I'm still sickly and stuffs.
LHM just made me read Umbrella Academy from start to finish. He's mad into it.
0_0
I'm pissed because someone should have read comics to me when I was little. Gahhhh! I was so deprived.
smoke I bet it smells delicious!
I want to try one of those places that bring around the big skewers of meat, it's some country's style.
RW shame they didn't really enjoy it, but seeing their grandson is a big plus. Visiting parents can bring out the worst in an adult child.
and we have 5 hrs on a plane for our trip- DO NOT WANT to be sick!
I'm off to grab some groceries (and coincidentally - Nutella!)
see you all later or goodnight if you're off to bed soon, sweet dreams
I'm sorry you're still not feeling quite the thing, Solly.
My mother has vowed to never make that trip again. Apart from what I mentioned above, they both caught bad colds over there, and had airline troubles on the way home (Qantas decided that they weren't going to have any more Thursday flights, never mind that they sold my parents tickets to fly out on a Thursday - they had to get an alternate flight through Sydney, and missed their connecting flight in LA).
Iz you still sicky, Solly? :(
Yep, RW. Still sickly. And it's suckly.
I'm sorry :(
Okay, do grits have meat in them? 'Cause if not, I'm all about it.
Nope; unless it is grits and grillades (not sure of spelling) which is a meat gravy.
Personally i prefer them with butter and salt and NOT instant.
p.
Suckly! That's funny. So he really liked TUA? My child is so hilarious.
No meat in grits, p-anon, just in grillades.
Hi again, P! Grits rule.
They just do.
*reads up*
Why do I have a feeling I missed a vital part of that conversation?
The grits, convo? Hahaha.
Well, grits are also - Girls Raised In The South.
Bwah! Cheesy, I know.
Mayo, you want some grits?
No meat in grits, p-anon, just in grillades.
August 29, 2008 9:58 PM
exactly; the grillades are poured on top. also in the carolinas they put a shrimp sauce on their grits - shrimp-n-grits. yumyum
p.
I like it, S&V!
Hi Guys,
Gotta go watch Jeff Dunham with LHM. And yes, he really did love TUA. He's eating that stuff up with a spoon. He's already quoting it. What? Yes.
Be back in a bit!
Hi again, P! Grits rule.
They just do.
August 29, 2008 9:58 PM
thats what i have been told
p.

eff'n blogger. sorry about the double post
p.
He's already quoting it. What? Yes.
What?
O_o
Stop corrupting my child, Mr. Way!
I gotta go, too. Must go watch tv with the husband. Funny how the men in my life can't watch tv by themselves.
*rolls eyes*
Later peeps!
XOXO
You guys made me hungry for taters.
I want to watch a movie, too. I just don't know wtf to watch.
Later Princess!
Tell me what to watch, people. A random movie, my X Files DVD, a specific movie on demand? WHAT? TELL ME!
I know smoke. i've been summoned myself.
bye guys
ergo,k,smoke,rw and sdock
hey guys keep an eye and prayer (or whatever is your fancy) on Gustav!!! 3 yrs ago Katrina and then Rita not much later devestated Mississippi and Louisiana.
p.
Tell me what to watch, people.
Little Chenier a Cajun Story
;)
p.
Have a good night, S&V and P-anon :)
That one's not on demand, though. >_< Wahh.
ya'll excuse my bad writing and spelling tonight (yeah any night). I need that Strunk and White book mayo.
night all
p.
I guess I will just watch mah Files, man.
And eat some yummy toast, mayhap.
Unless something fantastic occurs to me after my DVDs, then good night, all! :)
Hello or goodbye, depending.
My throat hurts.
That's about it.
no, it's "who?"
then what, then where, then why.
Night night, K :)
how?
ok
who?
You
should I have said "knock knock" first?
oh...
it's me. why am i knocking?
You should hear the doorbell.
but if your throat hurts and then you start hearing bells...
isn't that a bad sign?
my doorbell is broked. that must be why i knocked.
^_~
I don't know why my throat hurts. Sorry to hear about your broked ding dong.
(I slapped myself)
O_O my ding dong is fine, thank you. it's digesting nicely.
^_~
Mayo and All of BlogBelieve,
Good night. Sleep well. Dream.
Love Ya'll!
S
p.s. I reckon.
i'm sorry to hear about your sore throat. wrap your neck in red flannel, just as a precaution.
What would you anti-Christians all do if the Bible truly was the Word of God and you found out that God was real, and you had been wrong this whole time? How would you like Hell?
August 29, 2008 6:41 PM
And you call yourself a christian? I do believe in god but i do not go to church. Does that mean that i'm going to hell? Do they teach you to judge people of different faiths? theres a word for people like you....hipocrite!
Red flannel... for why?
why red?
Hey everyone
um because it's traditional? because agatha christie said so?
because i don't know but i can't give you orange juice to drink through the internet?
What's this I hear? Someone has a broken ding dong?
What does Heaven have to offer? I was taught about Hell and why I should fear it. Heaven was always just the alternate destination. Sad but at least Hell accepts people as is. Those elite groups always have a catch.
Hi, BC :)
I'm just signing off for the night but I wanted to give you a SQUEEZE before I go.
I think we are in hell now.
Red flannel it is then! :)
Orange juice burned so bad I teared up.
there's more than two choices, you know.
hi bc, hi resurrected wreck. :)
I think in hell we would have to attend a msi concert.....
orange juice bad?
i'm glad i couldn't give you any then. flannel away!
10:47 :)
Really :)
hell is having LynZ/HatchetFace give you a lap dance on stage.
and we would be forced to hear gw talk about how much he loves his wife...HA HA

Hi, TJ :)
Heading to bed now.
Have a good night, all :)
i said konichiwa
Oh shit, not eliza! I will pray for forgivness!
Fun but poor taste?
Maybe someone out there would enjoy that.
maybe gw and eliza could do a duet, and lynz could dance!
so you did, 10:52. ohayo.
good night resurrected wreck!
and i forgot to say hello to all you anons, so: hello!
Hi TJ, what are you up to tonight? Hi RW *big squeeze*
Hell= having to be forced to attend an MSI concert, I agree.
i'm liking Eliza much more than LynZ these days.
Goodnight RW
hey sore throat anon, hope you feel better soon. convo's taking a wrong turn for me, bleh bleh, so i'm outtie.
-journalism/oj anon
i'm liking Eliza much more than LynZ these days You know me to.I used to not really care for her, but at least she is doing positive things in her life.
Hello Mayo, SS, BC, various anons and lurkers!
I am totally bummed. The Queensryche show for tomorrow night has been cancelled due to the impending (further) devastation of NOLA courtesy of Gustav. POOP!
And, I won't even be able to go out tomorrow night. Nope. Contraflow traffic and curfew will be in effect. All this, before the Hurricane even hits Cuba and enters the Gulf Of Mexico.
I am sad. :(
Well, I suppose I can spend tomorrow and Sunday picking up lawn furniture and ornaments. Any other objects that could become airborn as well. OH JOY!
;P
Ohhh, I know! I can go to Wal-Mart and purchase some ammo tomorrow (since I am - once again - staying right where I am)! That's always fun (as is being in touch with my inner Dr. Seuss)!
There is not a pet friendly hotel, within a 3 state radius, that is not booked solid. Again, oh well!
I am off to drown my sorrows in a pitcher of homemade Hurricanes. *sighs*
Good night, sweetcheeks! *extra big hug and extra sloppy kiss*
Good night Mayo, SS, anons, lurkers, everyone. Sweet dreams to one and all!
Hugs and Love,
~Namaste~

Hi Teej.

*sighs*
No. I think I'm just going to head to bed. This week just caught up with me and my head is pounding.
Sometimes, it's best to just admit defeat I guess.
Goodnight everyone.
-A
Goodnight Amy sweet dreams. Sorry TJ, I was checking my messages.
As for fun friday, well, it's okay I guess. I'm just listening to music at the moment though and writing some messages. How about you?

Lights a candle for Saint Elena.

*Elena runs in waving*
Hi everyone. I'm not here you don't see me. Can't stay. Take care.
Wendy, be safe. I feel bad about the show. They will reschedule no doubt. I am really hoping the storm slows and loses its intensity. It might. Lets hope so.
Amy never admits defeat! So bummed.
What is this world coming to! *sighs too*
Oh crap I just saw that last anon comment...
I'm sorry my child I have no control over a concert event like that.
applehead, pumpkinhead...
don't you guys know any better endearments? less...noshable?
Told you St Elena takes care of what needs taking care of!
Goodbye. I saw her, I did, I really realy did!
She comes and goes like the wind.
:0
whoo! elena! should you be running around, young lady?
*hands on hips*
I was of course talking about MSI and Eliza....
Oh hell I'm sitting here trying to imagine that. Oh, so many things to say and not enough time.
it's not about food, it's about musicians
I wish I could stay but I really gotta go.
Oh would that be a show.
Anyway see you all tomorrow.
Hi Elena. Are you feeling any better from the illness?
TJ, ooo coffee! I haven't had any in a while.
*scowls at 11:31* :p
bye elena. have a good night!
not food, eh? well, thank you for the info. i am not much enlightened, but i appreciate your willingness to explain. :)
pumpkinheads are devoted followers of the smashing pumpkins
Mayo
Hallelujah!!! I got out of the house today. Being sick that long sucks. Yes, it was an exciting outing. I went to the post office and the bank. To be honest as boring as those two things are I liked it. Tomorrow my big plan is to clean out my car and get it ready for my trip to Chicago. Why, I ask you has no one optioned my life story for a movie? Come on with excitement like that?
Anyway, it’s one of those nights when I really can’t be on the computer. You may understand why or perhaps not. Doesn’t matter. Just thought I’d tell you. So no long ramble from me. Just a check in. Hope life is treating you well and that you’re truly happy. I always hope that for you.
Night Mayo
Elena ( it really could be a Lifetime movie)
New post.
Goodnight Elena
