Your obituary won't mention you have a huge house and a plasma t.v.

My Grandma used to say "You only get so many words when you're born and once you've used them up...that's it."

She said the same thing about steps too.

"Once they're gone you don't get anymore."

Words and steps, I think she meant that they are the measure of a life.

She was a cool lady.





p.s. and in those last few moments they won't occur to you either.

Goodnight Elena, I'll talk with you tomorrow. *hugs and kisses*

Goodnight Anima, best wishes for everything in your life. *hugs and kisses*

Psykhe, he did when he still worked for them, but he's in a different job now, in OH. He's also applied for a job with the military (as a civilian) to go to Iraq. I love him to pieces, but, well, WHAT THE FUCK? BAD. I hope he doesn't get it.

Goodnight Amy,

OP J, I hope he doesn't get it too. How does he feel about going there?

I'm just whining about missing mine. And he has only been gone for nearly two days! Oh well, must be love...

Original Punk J said...

Goodnight Amy, goodnight TJ! See you tomorrow.

*passes Amy some Advil and a glass of water*

Take these and sleep late in the morning. :)

Original Punk J said...

Psykhe, believe it or not, all he says is, "It's good money."

*rolls eyes*

My nephew is extremely intelligent, but sometimes he's a fool. I just want to smack him upside the head. And since he's 6'8" or so, that's always hard to do!

sally said...

is extremely intelligent, but sometimes he's a fool

I do know exactly what you are talking about OP J. I know someone very similar.

And no amount of money is enough, if it interferes with your life.

Goodnight amy

toujours said...

mayo,

around noon today i stepped outside to take care of a little household task. i was in the garage, and stepped over to the open door to see what the day looked like.

it was perfect.

it truly was. the sky was an ideal summertime blue with decorative white clouds, the air was fresh, the grass a green practically designed to harmonize with the sky.

and it wasn't just beautiful, it was blessed. i could feel my gods out there, smiling. everything was exactly right, everything was singing the same sweet nourishing song.

it all rushed right into me, like floodwaters into an empty culvert, and without deciding to, i stepped out into the sun.

i stood on the not pavement of the driveway in my bare feet, and straightened my spine to follow the example of the trees in front of me, and raised my arms out, as if to catch it all in between them.

i stood there for how long i don't know, a timeless moment of pure gratitude.

then it was done, the waters receded, my feet hurt (a lot!), and the day was just a lovely summer day again.

i was a little changed, however. *grin*


mayo, when those moments occur, and they do, more than you might realize, just let yourself stop and be thankful for them. i don't think we need to store up our gratitude for special days and bedtime prayers. i think the gods like to see our delight with their gifts the moment they give them to us.


you know, this blog is a perfect summer day, too.

and so are you. *grin*

good night, mayo my friend. hope tomorrow is...well, something to be grateful for.

sweet dreams.

sally said...

I think I'd better be off to bed as well.

Have a goodnight OP J, Silence, Amy, Toujours, BC and anyone I missed.

Sweet dreams :)

toujours said...

hot pavement, not "not pavement".

*slinks off to bed, suffering typo-embarrassment*

ergo said...

J and psykhe there are so many examples of great intelligence having no common sense, we lived across the road from a guy, very very smart but was trimming tree brances and cut the one he was sitting on , between him and the tree

I have a killer headache so I am going to go to bed, good night everyone.

Original Punk J said...

Mayo,

You may have seen my comment about L and I watching the Queen concert. In memory of Freddie Mercury, here is one of my favorite songs of theirs. Take special note of the lyrics.


"Hammer to Fall"
Here we stand or here we fall
History won't care at all
Make the bed, light the light
Lady Mercy won't be home tonight.

You don't waste no time at all
Don't hear the bell but you answer the call
It comes to you as to us all
We're just waiting
For the hammer to fall

Oh every night, and every day
A little piece of you is falling away
But lift your face, the Western Way -
Build your muscles as your body decays.

You don't waste no time at all
Don't hear the bell but you answer the call
It comes to you as to us all
We're just waiting
For the hammer to fall

Tow the line and play their game
Let the anaesthetic cover it all
Till one day they call your name
You know it's time for the Hammer to Fall.

Rich or poor or famous for
Your truth it's all the same
Lock your door but rain is pouring
Through your window pane
Baby now your struggle's all vain.

For we who grew up tall and proud
In the shadow of the Mushroom Cloud
Convinced our voices can't be heard
We just wanna scream it louder and louder

You don't waste no time at all
Don't hear the bell but you answer the call
It comes to you as to us all
We're just waiting
For the hammer to fall

What the hell are we fighting for?
Just surrender and it won't hurt at all
You just got time to say your prayers
While you're waiting for the Hammer to Fall.



Goodnight Mayo, keep waiting.

Original Punk J said...

Dear SS,

Here's another of my favorite Queen songs. It's not as well-known as the other, but it's really nice.

For all the Love Anons out there:

"Las Palabras de Amor"
Don't touch me now
Don't hold me now
Don't break the spell darling, now you are
near
Look in my eyes
And speak to me
The special promises I want to hear
Las palabras de amor
Let me hear the words of love
Despacito mi amor
Love me slow and gently
One foolish world, so many souls
Senselessly hurled through the never ending
cold
And all for fear, and all for greed
Speak any tongue but for God's sake we
need
Las palabras de amor
Let me hear the words of love
Despacito mi amor
Let me know, this night and evermore
This room is bare
This night is cold
We're apart and I'm growing old
But while we live, we'll meet again
So then my love we may whisper once more
It's you I adore
Las palabras de amor
Let me hear the words of love
Despacito mi amor
Touch me now
Las palabras de amor
Let us share the words of love
For evermore
For evermore


Goodnight, baby. I love you.

My heart to yours, always.

Slip inside the eye of your mind
Don't you know you might find
A better place to play
You said that you'd never been
But all the things that you've seen
Will slowly fade away

So I start a revolution from my bed
'Cos you said the brains I had went to my head
Step outside, summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
You ain't ever gonna burn my heart out

And so Sally can wait, she knows it's too late as we're walking on by
Her soul slides away, but don't look back in anger I heard you say

Take me to the place where you go
Where nobody knows if it's night or day
But please don't put your life in the hands
Of a Rock n Roll band
Who'll throw it all away

I'm gonna start a revolution from my bed
'Cos you said the brains I had went to my head
Step outside 'cos summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
'Cos you ain't ever gonna burn my heart out

So Sally can wait, she knows it's too late as she's walking on by
My soul slides away, but don't look back in anger I heard you say

So Sally can wait, she knows it's too late as we're walking on by

So Sally can wait
She knows it's too late as shes walking on by
My soul slides away
But don't look back in anger
Don't look back in anger
I heard you say

At least not today

These streets
Turn me inside out
Everything shines
But leaves me empty still
And I'll, burn this lonely house down
If you run with me
If you run with me

I'll stay with you
The walls will fall before we do
Take my hand now
We'll run forever
I can feel the storm inside you
I'll stay with you

Fooled by my own desires
I twist my fate
Just to feel you
But you, turn me toward the light
And you're one with me
Will you run with me?

I'll stay with you
The walls will fall before we do
Take my hand now
We'll run forever
I can feel the storm inside you
I'll stay with you

Now come in from this storm
I taste you sweet and warm
Take what you need
Take what you need
From me

Wake up this world
Wake up tonight
And run with me
Run to me now

I'll stay with you
The walls will fall before we do
Take my hand now
We'll run forever
I can feel the storm inside you
I'll stay with you

Let our friends say what they want to say
If I'm wrong I'll be the one to pay
No matter if it's true
You'll find that I'm all for you

Let the cards predict we'll drift apart
And the stars forfeit of broken heart
No matter if they do
You'll find that I'm all for you

I only know come what may
You'll always find me by your side
I may be a fool
Time alone will decide

Let them all say that it's just a game
And I'm sure to lose
But just the same no matter if I do
You'll find that I'm all for you

Any old time you want me,
I am yours for the asking, darling.
Any old time you need me,
I’ll be there with love that’s lasting, darling.
All through the years we’ll stand together,
Sharing the tears and stormy weather
And the sunshine will be yours and mine.
Any old time you’re blue
You’ll have our love to chase away the blues,
And any old thing you do I’ll see you through.
So just remember that I am waiting dear
If ever you want me I’ll be near,
Any old time and any place you may be.

This isn't easy for me, either, but the alternative is unthinkable.

I wait.

Now it's time to say goodnight
Goodnight, sleep tight
Now the sun turns out his light
Goodnight, sleep tight
Dream sweet dreams for you
Dream sweet dreams for me

Close your eyes and I'll close mine
Goodnight, sleep tight
Now the moon begins to shine
Goodnight, sleep tight
Dream sweet dreams for you
Dream sweet dreams for me

7.00, YOU know nothing. You like to think that you know everything about every single anon around here, but I know that you don't. Especially since you just implied that I have posted the lyrics last night. Sorry to disappoint you, but I was asleep. I almost feel sorry for you because you have such a boring miserable existence that you feel the need to bring everyone down with you. Why else would keep hitting refresh with the hope that there will be someone new to pick on? Now that is sad.

Good morning.

Hi anons. That's pretty 7:41!
I'm sure it's lovely outside. Maybe you need to just take a breather and enjoy the fresh air for a while. Then you'll come back all refreshed and the smaller bloggy things mightn't seem so important then. =)


Maayoooo!,
Did my over the top 'lovey dovey' yesterday not tempt you to put us out of our riddle misery?

What's a girl to do?

Argh! The horror!

Don't make me take off my scarf!

Actually, I'm as sh*t with dates as I am with time. Miranth and PH's conversation reminded me I had read a few more dates a while ago, so I just zoomed back, and checked, and fixed. ;)
All the best for your opening. =)

Mustard@10:39,
This is all I have.
And friends here, of course.
=)

SS!
Watching the sporty stuff?
I say bring back the Poodle clipping event!

128: The number of competitors who participated in the poodle-clipping event at the 1900 Olympics in Paris. The event was held in the leafy environs of the Bois de Boulogne and it was the only occasion that it featured as an Olympic discipline.

This, no doubt, came as a relief to Baron Pierre de Coubertin, the French founding father of the modern Olympic movement, who had opposed its inclusion, but was outvoted by his International Olympic Committee colleagues.

The gold medal was won by Avril Lafoule, a 37-year-old farmer's wife from the Auvergne region of France, who successfully clipped 17 poodles in the allotted two-hour time frame.

The poodle-clipping competition, held on April 1, was watched by 6,000 spectators, one of the larger audiences at the most chaotic Olympic Games of all.

Of course that was also the year that women first competed.

And not just in the poodle clipping. ;)


Have a great day everyone! =)

Good morning loves;

I've been up since 5:30, after falling asleep at 2:30. Right now, it is 7:30 and I'm actually kind of hyper. (about to make a pot of coffee)

So what does everyone have planned for today? =]

lyrics anon I hope you're heard by the one you're posting for, but I do winder if this is the best place to tell them


Mayo so are you going to give us an answer? There have been quite a few guesses. Is it something abstract, like a self image, or something more simple, like chess?
You know it would be nice to know sooner rather than later, or are you waiting for over 4000 comments again?
Wishing you depth, breadth, height of enjoyment in all you do.
[and maybe I'll dream the answer tonight :)]

Every Day

You Could've Bowed Out Gracefully
But You Didn't

Tryin' To Stay Out Of My Own Way
The Messes That I Make

It's Amazing To Me


How Every Day
Every Day, Every Day
You Save My Life

I Come Around All Broken Down And

Is So Deep And Dark And Desperate
I Don't Know, I Don't Know

Sometimes I Swear, I Don't Know If
I'm Comin' Or Goin'
But You Always Say Something
Without Even Knowin'
That I'm Hangin' On To Your Words
With All Of My Might And It's Alright
Yeah, I'm Alright For One More Night-

I know what you mean! I often wear leggings with a long shirt or dress, but I see lots of people wearing them with tank tops. Makes me want to remind them "Hey, you've got no pants on!". Leggings are really just glorified tights, after all.

Have fun at your lessons :) I'm waiting on a friend to show up, then we're heading out. Not sure where to, though.

paperheart, this is what you do: go stand in front of your biggest mirror (full-length if possible, so you can see the whole look). stand with your back to it, then turn around and take one quick look. does it seem okay? or is it glaringly weird?

look at it with your subconscious, and then trust your own sense of style. :)

Bye PH!!!!

Bye PH :) Have fun!

JocelynHolly said...

Haha, thanks Anon, and I know what you mean.


I have a notebook full of poems, "songs", and just ideas I've come up with. Now, since I'm getting a little better at my guitar, I am actually trying to get chords/melodies and all that too. Plus, I'm learning piano too.

Lyrically, I can't seem to put things in words. There's stuff that I want to write about, and I try, but it sounds horrible!

Ahh, hope to talk to you again sometime 12:01!

Again, bye guys!

CHICAGO (Aug. 9) - Bernie Mac, the actor and comedian who teamed up in the casino heist caper "Ocean's Eleven" and gained a prestigious Peabody Award for his sitcom "The Bernie Mac Show," died Saturday at age 50.
"Actor/comedian Bernie Mac passed away this morning from complications due to pneumonia in a Chicago area hospital," his publicist, Danica Smith, said in a statement from Los Angeles.



OMG! I cant believe it! He was only 50! He was funny

Smoke said...

OMG.

Does it count if the Gemini only thinks he can dance?

And I take it that he and I will just knock each other the fuck out. I'll get the last hit though. For sure.

Bwahahaha!

Okay, gotta go find Solly.

Bernie Mac?

Noooo!

Scorpios are nice, i always thought

resurrected wreck said...

Speaking of horoscopes, this weeks are:

SCORPIO

The guy who gave his name to North and South America was a pickle salesman and writer as well as an explorer. After a stint in Spain selling his vitamin C-rich pickles to outbound ships, Amerigo Vespucci got to travel to the New World in 1499 and 1502. The stories he penned about his adventures there were highly imaginative, like his description of giant native women with huge breasts who employed poisonous fluids extracted from insects to super-size their husbands' penises. I nominate Amerigo to be your role model in the coming weeks, Scorpio. May you, too, do what comes natural and be your funky self in ways that lead to glory and renown. (My source for the info about Amerigo is Tony Horwitz's book A Voyage Long and Strange: Rediscovering the New World.)

resurrected wreck said...

GEMINI

Although the platypus is technically a furry mammal, a new study of its genetic code reveals that it also has some qualities common to birds and reptiles. It lays eggs and has venom like a snake and a bill like a duck. Sounds like it's the perfect creature to serve as your totem in the coming week, Gemini. Life will bring you unexpected mixtures and improbable hybrids. You won't be able to make sense of your experience if you rely on your usual categories. And I think you'll find that the best way to attract good fortune will be to weave together threads of different colors and textures.

The House of 1000 Mirrors
A Japanese folktale
Author Unkown


Long ago in a small, far away village, there was place known as the House of 1000 Mirrors. A small, happy little dog learned of this place and decided to visit. When he arrived, he bounced happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house. He looked through the doorway with his ears lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it could. To his great surprise, he found himself staring at 1000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as fast as his. He smiled a great smile, and was answered with 1000 great smiles just as warm and friendly. As he left the House, he thought to himself, "This is a wonderful place. I will come back and visit it often."

In this same village, another little dog, who was not quite as happy as the first one, decided to visit the house. He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he looked into the door. When he saw the 1000 unfriendly looking dogs staring back at him, he growled at them and was horrified to see 1000 little dogs growling back at him. As he left, he thought to himself, "That is a horrible place, and I will never go back there again."

All the faces in the world are mirrors. What kind of reflections do you see in the faces of the people you meet?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

May you all be greeted with friendly, kind and loving "reflections" today (and everyday)!

Have fun, everyone!

Hugs and Love,
~Namaste~

Are you aware that it's entirely possible to continuously give and never expect anything in return?

Are you also aware that there will probably be a day when you finally say "Fuck this," a day when you'll decide that it'd be pretty okay with you if you traded positions?

And I ask all of that to say, I don't know when that day is going to arrive.

Hey guys!

So I go down to the post office today, right, manuscript in hand(s) in a big ole' box, with my cover letter, postcard, addressed envelope and almost SASE. All I needed was the american flag stamp to put on the envelope and off it would go! Mummy K came with me and I was all, "Well here we are and this is it!"

Except that they don't sell the american flag stamp anymore, and the huge envelope that I had picked out (it was the only kind the post office sold) was exactly the wrong kind. (Yep, you have to put it in the right kind of envelope! If you put it in the kind that has cardboard or papery stuff for cushioning, it gets all over the editor's suit and is immediately rejected.)

The lady at the post office was trying to be helpful. She showed me the liberty bell stamp and the purple heart stamp and said, "But these are patriotic, too!"

I wanted to shake her, to explain that it didn't matter how patriotic a stamp it was, it had to be the flag stamp. I wanted to pull my hair out and foam at the mouth and rave to her about how my only other alternative was to hand deliver the manuscript after running into the city, and as I neared the office building, to jump through nine flaming hoops without getting smoke damage on my manuscript, and hand it to the submissions editor in mid-leap and finish with a backflip, while monkeys threw grapes at me that I had to catch in my mouth. With an infant strapped to my back.

In the end, we went to Office Max and I got the right kind of mailer, and did some questioning of some published authors who now all agree that the liberty bell "forever" stamp is the way to go.

The real reason it didn't go out today? Why, because today is 8/9/08. Clearly it has to go out Monday--8/11/08--which adds up to nine.

*nods*

*bangs head against wall*

resurrected wreck said...

Er... sounds complicated :S

resurrected wreck said...

Why did it have to be that particular type of stamp?

Anonymous said...

Because anything else was "unprofessional" and not business-like. It's a business letter and you can't make it froofy.

That, plus the thing with the hoops. ;)

resurrected wreck said...

Ah yes, hoops. What fun! ;)

Hi GS and RW

I'm just catching up on work. Nothing exciting going on here.

How are you guys?

gnothi seauton said...

How are you this weekend?

Cold and wet. It was actually bad enought today to wear a winter coat. The joys of the British summer :\

Nipped out and got some match pots to try some new colours in R's bedroom. Then chores. Very tedious .

What have you been up to if you've been stuck in all day?

gnothi seauton said...

enought

Excuse the ' t '.

Good grief, there's fireworks going off everywhere. Back in a mo.

resurrected wreck said...

Cold and wet. It was actually bad enought today to wear a winter coat. The joys of the British summer :\

It's been the same over here the past two days. I was cold walking to work yesterday & almost needed to turn back for my jacket. And it won't stop thunderstorming :(

I was out briefly with a friend. We ran some errands at the mall, then walked through a part of town with some funky shops & nice cafes. But the sky opened up so we opted to go home.

What colours are you & R thinking of for her room?

resurrected wreck said...

Fireworks??

resurrected wreck said...

Not much going on here apart from laundry, Elena. Another exciting weekend!

Good morning all!

Bernie mac? wow that's unexpected, how did he die?


and why does TJ want to be a platypus? she has poisonous spur?


Hello GS mustard and elena

Hi, EP :)

Complications from pneumonia, I think.

ergo said...

oh hi RW I thoght you went and mustard stayed but it must be other way around

gnothi seauton said...

What colours are you & R thinking of for her room?

Well, she desperately needs a new bed so we thought

Horesund


And the wall colour we've plumped for aubergine. Just on one wall though. So it's not too over-bearing.

The fireworks are probably in the park. I think it's Prom night.

gnothi seauton said...

Hi Ergo :)

Sorry, I have no idea who Bernie Mac is. He was young though :(

resurrected wreck said...

Do you mean the Noresund? That one's very pretty, I love ironwork head/footboards!

gnothi seauton said...

Sorry, that should be Noresund :|

resurrected wreck said...

And the wall colour we've plumped for aubergine. Just on one wall though. So it's not too over-bearing.

That sounds pretty :) What colour are the other walls?

I'm still debating between a couple of colours for my bedroom area. It will either be a light brick red, or a sage-like green.

elena said...

Hey Ergo


Mikey arrived safely!!! Yea

Thanks for all the cool stuff you included. I just love the spider. How did you know?

Oh and the pumpkin with the little bug is just adorable.

Thank you thank you

Oh almost forgot. I love the keychain. I haven't given Fred her's yet but I know she'll love it.

We'll probably go with an off white or cream, to calm it down a bit.

It will either be a light brick red, or a sage-like green.

Personally I would go with the green. Red is hard to sleep in. Green is far more relaxing.

Anon - and can also be revisited when least expected :\

resurrected wreck said...

Personally I would go with the green. Red is hard to sleep in. Green is far more relaxing.

I think that's the main reason why I haven't chosen yet, GS. It's already a green, so I had planned on changing it completely, and the light red would be in heeping with the Raspberry Truffle colour I have a connecting part of my apartment. But, as you said, green is more relaxing. The two greens I've been looking at are Brookside Moss and Thyme.

resurrected wreck said...

Brookside Moss

resurrected wreck said...

Can't find a good piccie of Thyme, but it's a little browner.

resurrected wreck said...

I may go for a bolder green though.

gnothi seauton said...

Well red and green do complement each other. They are opposites on the colour wheel so technically they will work. Brookside Moss sounds nice.

If you want to stick with a red go for one with a blue base, it will appear ' cooler '.
