It is everything built to borrow
made of a moment or two of sorrow
with a roof pitched of tar and nicotine
and everything good that is in between
that has taken three hundred days
sometimes filtered through a painted haze
while holding breath without suffocation
there is love and hate, anguish and elation

«Oldest ‹Older 2201 – 2400 of 4101 Newer› Newest»But the hooker came right outta my head.
O_o
The killer freaks the fuck out of me to be honest, so yeah, you did a damn fine job with him!
I don't mean this in a bad way, but the hooker kinda reminded me of you. :)
'allo?
Solly, I'm so honored he freaks you out. ^_^
Carrie, that's actually kinda sweet; I wanted her to be sort of pretty.
RW, I guess there's something you don't hear everyday. ^_^
I'll be in and out of here on and off while I get on with this. My computer is really draggy when this program is open with any others.
Sure don't, K!
I loved the flickering torch & moving shadows :)
Heya Amy, how was your day?
Leathermouth show tomorrow, eh? :)
Hi A, Carrie, Solly, K, by the way :)
Hey Rw!
Did I hear someone say LEATHERMØUTH?
*I just needed an excuse to do the little 'o' thingy. ^_~*
EEEEEEEEEEEKKKK!!!
I love your drawings K!
Hi again errbody.
Oh, and PJ! Thank you for the sweet comment on my blog! :)
Oops, hi some more! thank you, Princess!
RW, yup, Leathermouth tomorrow.
It's a little odd that I'm going to see Leathermouth tomorrow to rock my face off, but currently I am rocking my face off to the BeeGees. LIFELONG FAN. ^_^
Hallo everyone!
Carrie, not bad. I'm excited for Friday and Saturday though. Only two more days until payday and Against Me!
-A
Sounds like fun, Amy!
Let's all go partah with Amyranth
:-D
Indeed.
I got pegged today at work to teach a little art group we run for kids, just a sculpting thing. Should be fun though.
-A
I hate to cut this short but I haven't been feeling well all day so I'm gonna have a shower and turn in.
Have a lovely evening, all :)
Aw man, Annie would love something like that, she is heavy crazy for all things artistic.
but currently I am rocking my face off to the BeeGees. LIFELONG FAN. ^_^
o_O
Sounds like fun, Amyranth. I'm sure it's an honour no matter how small the group is. The kiddos will love you.
Gotta go, hubby is FINALLY home, can hardly wait to hear the excitement that went on at the Church council meeting, not. Have a good night, guys!
Goodnight Carrie and RW.
I gotta go, too.
It's my anniversity! :)
And right now I am about ready to make him eat that damn remote control. >_<
Later peeps!
Have a great night!
Goodnight Smoke.
9:13, you get the flight, and I will grab the sign and wait at the airport.
Nite, BBers!
Have sweet dreams of whatever you want to make them sweet and stuff.
9:16, I hope so. It's really nothing major. Parents pay for their little ones to come in and fiddle around with art supplies for a couple of hours every Saturday. The parents always have to stay, so I'm just there as a gopher really. But still. Sculpting! I love sculpting!
Happy Anni Smoke. Just remember where the buttons on the remote are after you make him eat it.
I have the passport. Will get the flight. Hopes that sign points in the direction of the partah where we will break a few more commandments and the last of the seven deadly sins! On my way.
;-)
Mayo,
Can we just have a stare down tonight?
Cool.
You know the rules, right?
Okay.
Starting...now!
Love to YOU Always,
S
p.s. Who will crack first?
*checks the list*
How many more commandments and sins do we have left anyway?
Amy I would love to see any sculptures you did. I always comment on good art when I see it. ^____^
Not many, Amyranth. I think we hit all 7 of the deadlies. I don't think we've killed anyone yet. Have we?
Maybe we should skip over breaking that commandment. Unless there's someone you really, really, really want to knock off.
;-)
Goes pack ski mask in carry on bag.
I want to see some more of your work too, Amyranth. Let us know when you've posted more pictures.
Going pack the knife set, bow gun and blood stain remover. See you at the airport.
;-)
I agree so hard, I love Amy's drawings.
9:33, unfortunately, the only sculpture that I've ever done that might be worth showing, got knocked over by a cat and shattered. Not really surprising, it wasn't great quality clay anyway. I'll have to try again.
*ponders*
You know, I don't think there is anyone I'm ready to knock off. I'll call you if my boyfriend ever leaves me! Ha!
9:37, if you think I'm good, you should check out some of the people I've got added on DA. There's some really incredible work out there, but I'll warn you, a lot of it is Sailor Moon related!
-A
I know I have been around DA Amy, there is some good stuff there. You see good art everywhere and then you see really bad art. You can always tell when someone has talent and you have talent in spades. I always have to tell artist when I think they are truely talented.
Well, thank you 9:52. However, I personally believe that I'm only "good" until I see someone better. Then, it gives me something to work for.
I think I'm going to take off though, I want to try and actually get a good night's sleep for a change!
Goodnight Lovelies, Anons, Mayo and SS.
-A
i have a flat, wide, and sagging dumper.
hello.
i don't suppose there's anyone home.
^That was poetic.
*yawns @ the blog*
it never fails, it's like washing your car and rain.
Mayo where you be at
hey, you know what i just noticed? that little "at" symbol really looks like an ear.
huh. cool.
*smiles because Toujours eavesdropped with me before*
My @ is special.
i @ you
i have an @ ache
☼ ♥ ♪
My Ø is better than your @
so, we're the ones who like to sneak around, then, eh?
sleuth genes. yup.
it's a really cute ear when you see it that way. :)
you're just a sad song with nothing to say
*sigh*
*melancholy*
I'm glad you discovered something new today.
@-_-@
that is extremely cute. :)
everytime you learn something new, it actually creates more connections in your brain, and increases your life expectancy, by an average of five minutes.
So what will you do with your extra five minutes?
And it's all in how you mix the two,
And it starts just where the light exists.
It's a feeling that you cannot miss,
And it burns a hole,
Through everyone that feels it.
Well you're never gonna find it,
If you're looking for it,
Won't come your way,yeah
Well you'll never find it,
If your looking for it. (looking for it)
hmmm, good question.
i guess i'll just learn something new, and then have another five minutes.
i just learned that the candy my nephew is hocking from his school taste like crap. it's the first week of school and their already making kids sell this crap.
└ÊÅ┬╫Σ®MØÛτH
i like seeing lyrics again. thanks, 10:35.
10:38, sorry the candy is bad, especially when you have to buy it.
and hearts! so very very very good to see those here again too. :)
Excellent choice, Toujours.
@.,.@
you're a mouse! so cute!
what will you do with your extra five minutes?
(the)
(word)
(is)
(love)
it usually is.
Knowing me, I would waste them by pondering the best way to use them.
@^-^@
that comment of mine wasn't meant to sound so stern!
yeah, but if you thought of a new way to use them, then you would automatically gain a further five minutes!
that is the way it should be
toujours.
Should've done something, but I've done it enough.
By the way, your hands were shaking,
Rather waste some time with you.
i agree with you, 10:50, i most certainly do.
those lyrics are from the same song as before -- i like what that section says.
i'm a sucker for nice words. :)
*sneaks off to bed*
@*!*@
And you never would have thought in the end,
How amazing it feels just to live again,
It's a feeling that you cannot miss,
It burns a hole, through everyone that feels it.
good night ear anon! sweet dreams. :)
Well you're never gonna find it,
If you're looking for it, won't come your way, yeah
Well you'll never find it, if you're looking for it. (looking for it)
Should've done something, but I've done it enough.
By the way, your hands were shaking.
Rather waste some time with you.
Should've said something, but I've said it enough.
By the way, my words were faded.
Rather waste some time with you.

Waste some time with you... waste some time with you)

i just went to read the lyrics, and come back to find them posted! funny. :)
it's a beautiful song. thanks to the two anons (i'm assuming) for bringing to the blog.
Welcome from anon one. :)
are you the one posting italicized? because you started it. :)
Yep. :)
*gives you a cookie*
:)
Thank you for the cookie. I'm heading off to bed with Blue and Yellow on repeat on my ipod. :)
Have a lovely night, Toujours.

you, too. thanks for the enjoyable night. :)

aahhh. got some coffee.
*settles into the couch*
*pulls the green plaid blanket over her lap*
*turns up the new live cd*
Hello, stopping by again. I watched Fringe, and I was kinda meh about it.
Going to bed to listen to Adele. You guys should check out her vid for "Chasing Pavements." Not sure who directed, but they did some stuff I haven't seen before. I like to see new things.
Oh, and happy anniversity to Smoke and da Rake! I kept forgetting to comment on it all day, so I must consider you guys family, since I'm always late with wishes to them too. :)
oh! hi and bye carrie!
have a good night. :)
Hello, anyone here?
*puts down book*
yep. :)
Note To Self:
Avoid caffeine at all possible costs before bed.
I wish my brain had a pull switch like you see in old horror movies. They build up this dramatic scene, and it's all dark and scary and shit, and you see a hand reaching for the pull chain to a old, decrepid light bulb. Yeah, I wish my brain had one of those.
*dances a jig*
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MIKEY WAY! Since I'm awake and all to say it!
Annnnnd, lights out.
Minus a 'd' and add a 't.'
Deedle deedle dee!
Hi TJ, what are you up to? :)
Goodnight mustard
lol mustard.
coffee doesn't affect me like that. coca-cola before bed, now that gives me weird dreams, but coffee? naaaaaah. that's like mother's milk. :)
good night!
*wonders if she really heard bc awhile ago, or if she was daydreaming again*
whoa! bc you are here! *heehee*
i'm just hanging out, hogging mayo's couch again. haw about you? how was your day? didn't you get your hair done today?
haw? haw??
*shakes head sadly at self*
Nope, I'm as real as they come TJ :)
I'm okay, but very tired. I was on my feet most of the day. My head is ready to go to sleep on the kitchen counter, but I have to stay up for a bit longer.
I'm looking at some hairstyles right now in the meantime. I'm getting my hair done tomorrow. I had to rescheduled it.
oh, that's too bad that you had to reschedule it, bc. but maybe it's for the best...maybe today would have been a bad day to get a new hairdo.
have you figured out what you're going to do with it?
hello all
well bit sad today my friends wife passed away last night, it was only a matter of time, but it's so sad when it happens, don't know about funeral arrangements yet, but thanks to everyone who had kind words and thoughts
apart from that day was good, kids were good and I'm good
Probably TJ. I got one for tomorrow in the afternoon.
Right now I'm thinking maybe a little haircut, and get it styled, then I'm getting my eyebrows done. I was thinking of getting my hair dyed, but I'm too tired to think right now.
How was your day?
hello ergo. that's very sad news. i hope she was comfortable at the end, and had her family around her?
bc, my day was...pretty much the usual. :)
Hi Ergo. Aw sorry to hear about your friend's wife. My condolences :(
she was Tj she had been hospitalised and sedated etc for a few weeks and her husband was there, I'm sure their kids were too I haven't spoken to him (of course) yet, they were a devoted couple, it's really sad
hi BC
That's cool TJ. Read any good books lately? :)
I'm off for the night guys. Take care and sweet dreams.
Sugarplum: I think my Nightwish concert was tonight, but I didn't go. I didn't buy a ticket in time :( have a great time at yours *blows kisses* I hope you're well.
Got any plans for halloween?
Night everyone!
i'm glad family was with her ergo -- that is so important for everyone.
bc, i'm currently working my way through a series i read once before, a long time ago though, and now it's complete so i thought i'd read it front ot back!
it's the crown of stars series by kate elliot, and it's amazing. it's dense and solidly built, a fantasy in a sort of alternate early medieval europe. i'm on the third volume in the series atm, called the burning stone.
kate elliot is a favorite author of mine, i discovered her with the sci-fi novel jaran.
thanks for asking, bc. :)
good night bc!
(darn these long replies of mine!)

I don't hate anyone. I just think it's ridiculous when people argue that these women have some kind of connection with Frank. I mean, come on, people. Frank has family and friends. He doesn't form special connections with random fans. And no matter how special the OPs think they are, there is nothing that sets them apart from millions of other fans.
blame amy. she is the one who said they have a special connection with frank all over the internetz..
goodnight BC sweet dreams
I might have to look into her Tj sounds good
it is better to light a candle than curse the darkness.
just sayin.
oh yes, you might like her very much, ergo! this series is chock full of history...it's very solidly researched. the main "sorcerers" in her world, and condemned by the church, are called mathematici (spelling might be off...) and they are astronomers and mathematicians...it's quite amazing.
The OPs are smart, funny and spirited women with big hearts and even bigger smiles. They are fighters. They keep on keeping on, no matter what life throws at them. That's punk.
I'll check it out, I'm reading ruth rendell at the moment, adn have a heap of Dick Francis I got at a neighbours garage sale
a lovely candle, 1:55. :)
it's always good to have a heap of books, ergo. :)

have you seen L's latest blog?
No prizes for guessing who that post is directed at.
I've seen she's changed it from the venom that was there and replaced it with some sweetness and light shit. Perhaps she didn't want a certain someone to see her true colors?
I think it's a shame anons can't just leave people alone, like carrie said (I was back reading) it doesn't matter what anyone does they don't let up.
If you ask them to stop they attack, if you ignore it you're indifferent, you can't win
but that is their point, it's just to be nasty there is no answer that would satisfy
Plus they obviously spend a lot of time thinking about it, I can't see why they worry so much
2:03 iawtc. i saw that too. hypocrites.
Mayo
Blog sickness I tell you, it’s blog sickness. Okay, maybe I can’t really blame the blog cause I’m sick again but damn it I gotta blame something. I just had the stupid ear infection and now I’ve got a wicked bad cold. I’m trying very hard not to sneeze on you right at this moment. See, I’m looking out for you.
So I’m gonna go take some stupid cold medicine and try to lay down. Of course then I won’t be able to breathe. Pretty sure I need to breathe. Pretty sure I’m already feeling loopy and I haven’t taken any medicine yet. This is so not good.
Take care of yourself. Oh, did you read that article you weren’t interested in? Please tell me you didn’t go with Martha Stewart. Here’s an easy one for tomorrow. Go to Starbucks and order something off the menu that has the letter “H” in the name. Why “H”? I dunno, don’t make me think I'm sick. Just go with it, okay? Trust the Saint, I’d never lead you down the wrong path. Oh hell, I’m totally lying cause I would. Maybe not on purpose but I would.
Night Mayo
Elena (I’m dissolving the cold medicine in Ginger Beer, just cause)
oh elena sorry you aren't well
take care and hope you can sleep well and rest up (though I know you must be hating it)
*wondering if starbucks even has an item that starts with an h*
good night elena, i hope you feel better superfast!
Hot coffee
Hot grande coffee
Hot vente coffee...
lol
that's cheating!
Just said it had to have the letter "H" in the name. Not that it has to start with "H".
Okay, really I've got to close my eyes now...
Night TJ and Ergo
*backreads*
oh, so you did! i stand...er, sit corrected. go to bed elena, i need to be heading there myself so set me a good example!
*sigh*
bedtime.
good night ergo.
good night bloglings.
sweet dreams.
*trundles off*
mayo,
i've been reading your poem, as i do, and i think what made it seem dashed off to me is the way the last three or four lines seem to run downhill. i definitely pick up speed when i'm reading them. *grin*
sometimes, a meaning jumps right out at me, i'll read one of your poems and it will ring clear. sometimes, i have to nibble at it for a while. i have to take each word and turn it around in my thoughts, and taste it, and consider it, before putting it back down in the pattern.
that's why poetry is fun. *grin*
i wish i could tell you what the pattern of this poem looks like to me, but it's a shaky one. the meaning i see is tremulous and half-formed and it's best kept to myself, i think. if i could even explain what i see.
but that's what's good about poetry, too.
thank you.
and good night to you, my friend.

Anons:
You can trash me, you can trash L. We don't care. But TRY, at least, to respect Frank and the fact that BOTH his grandmothers passed away within a month of each other last year.
Do any of you have a heart? Kind thoughts? Compassion? Respect and regard for this man who's been through so much fucking shit in the past, who knows, two years? YOU'RE the people who call us names? Fucking Hell, if you think putting us down to him is going to "get you in good" with him, well come on then. I invite you to try.
But don't be misled into thinking he approves of ugly, nasty words and/or actions. If you think that, you don't know him at all. And no, it doesn't take a "special connection" to know that. Frank's a good man. EVERYone knows that. Do you think Frank would act the way you're acting if he were in your shoes?
And as far as L's blog goes, if she has to explain it to you, then you don't get that, either.

Thank you, Nice Anon. It's good to know you're out there.
And thank you to ALL our friends for the back-up, you're good people. (nod to PJ there)
i see the blog "love groupies" smiley face anon & co have returned.that should make you all warm & toasty inside.
Good morning/afternoon/evening Mayo, SS, J; the possibly soon to arrive Possum, FASC and Lewis; the still missed Kass, Miranth and DL; various mature (regardless of age)and empathetic anons, watchers and lurkers!
How are you all today? Happy, well, safe and all that other food stuff that makes one feel warm and fuzzy all over!
Me, I seem to be having a heck of a time uploading my Hurricane Gustav videos. I must learn to shoot shorter videos. I figured, if I am going to go out there in 80 plus mile an hour wind gusts, I'm going to shoot as long as I can before I get knocked on my arse! Seemed like a good idea at the time. Oh well! We live and (continue) to learn - I hope!
Ergo: I'm so sorry to hear about your friend's wife. It sounds as though he was utterly and completely devouted to his wife. He must be going through emotional hell right now. :(
I'm sure he knows that you are there for him though. If he needs a hug, a hand to hold or someone to help him cry.....
*big hug and smoooooooch for you*
BC: I don't have any special plans for Halloween, yet. How about you? Are you going to any costume parties? Halloween is a bit tricky for me. I always loved Halloween; but, it's the anniversary of my brother's death. Yep, he was killed on Halloween (Oct. 30th).
Although, Voodoo Fest is always the last weekend of October! That's my yearly Halloween thing. Voodoo Fest and The House Of Shock (and whatever comes after) *wink*
J and L: *humongous hugs for you two wonderful, beautiful ladies* Just because!
Elena: You're sick again? I'm sending you some vitamins in that good luck mojo pouch! ;)
Smoke: I hope you had a nice anniversary complete with at least a dozen gorgeous roses!

Hi PJ, Mya, Black Jacket, PPU, SC, Pixie and Siobhan!

I love ya, Lewis!!!!
*blows kisses*
Hi guys! I hope everyone is well.
:)
I have been very busy dealing with changes that came up unexpectedly, as I stated almost a week ago. At least the health problem (circulatory) I was having cleared up spontaneously, but the other issues are rather long term. It looks even more likely that I will be moving out of state, but I am still at the fact gathering stage... we'll see. I'd miss family and friends, a lot, especially the family I've made here.
Elena - I hope you feel better soon. Your ear infection sounds painful, but to have a cold too is added misery. Keep warm and take care of yourself!
FASC - HI! *waves*
MissT - I am ok, now. Thanks for the visit :) I posted an update above.
Lewis - I appreciate your concern also. You are a sweetheart! And don't forget it! :)
ergo - I am sorry to hear about your friends wife. *giant hug*
wendy - Stay safe, you hear!? I am not sure where Ike's headed, but I do know New Orleans is being evacuated again, so I worry... Take care of yourself and animal friends too. *big hug*
Bully Anons - Leave the OPS ALONE! Reaming someone for their kindness just makes you look like asses. Look in the mirror - should be instructive.
RE: The Concert in Detroit - I saw Warship's last two songs. They were surprisingly good - and I like the harder rock/metal sound. Leathermouth was awesome, and I especially always liked the kill the pres. song. The lyrics and melody pop in my head unbidden from time to time, the hallmark of a great song, IMHO. During MC Chris and the beginning of Reggie, I was discussing personal issues with my best friend (possibilities of moving together, etc) so I missed a lot. I was very grateful to Reggie for playing such a long set, as I was so distracted, (alternately sad and elated). My friend even loved their music - and she hates everything I like, so you know the music was excellent. I love the stipulation song. I have it on repeat in Rhapsody right now. :) I spoke to Frankie for a minute and had him autograph the bottle he beaned me in the head with, which my friend who picked me up promptly threw out when she cleaned her car. It figures. Frankie was pretty odd, as he was last time I met him. The Adrian Brody looking guy said that Reggie might be back at some point, even though it was a farewell tour, when I asked him. That was about it. The crowd was pretty disparate, which surprised me, though I think some were chaperones.
I ended up having a great time, and my night was still young yet :) so it was even more fun! :)
Mayo - I have to say that I am pretty confused (not a new phenonmena) so I will refrain from saying anything other than Thank You very much for the loan of this space. :)
PS - Frank's blond wig reminds me of a time when I had blond hair :) or Kurt Cobain :))
Take care everyone!
Phenomenon ^ Oops!
My sister is standing over my shoulder!
Bye now.
Morning errbody!
Ergo,
I'm so sorry about your friend's wife. Like TJ said, I'm glad her family was there.
Miranth,
Glad you had a great time at the show. All the boys put on a helluva show in Orlando. ^_^
And today is the day for Jules' show! YAY! HOPE YOU HAVE AN AWESOME TIME TODAY!!!! ^_^
I think that just about does it for now. Have a great day Mayo, SS and errbody!
XOXO
Now I have "Wonderwall" stuck in my head. >_<
Grrrr.
good morning ♥
Ergo,
I'm sorry to hear about your friend's wife. I can't even begin to imagine what it would be like to lose someone that you fully expected to spend the rest of your life with.
I heard a very sad story yesterday about a local couple here. They had went off with some friends for a weekend of fishing in Alabama. The husband started not feeling well, complaining of arm pain and just hurting all over, but he suffered from Fibromayalgia and didn't really think much of it and neither did the wife. He woke up the next morning which was their wedding anniversary feeling worse than he'd ever felt in his life. He was standing there talking to his wife and collapsed. She frantically called for an ambulance but was told it would take at least 45 mins, something about Alabama and their 911 system. She didn't want to accept the fact that he was already gone so she and her friends wrapped him in a sheet, loaded him in the car, she stayed in the backseat with him doing CPR for the whole drive to the hospital.
She lost her husband on her wedding anniversary.
So sad. Makes my heart ache.
Jules,
Have a "rock you face off" time at Reggie/Leathermouth!
*waves to James*
Mayo,
Hope you are cruising right on through this week. Smooth fucking sailing.
Can I just say that waking up to "I Hope You Dance" doesn't make me want to lose my sense of wonder, doesn't make me want to give faith a fighting chance, doesn't make me want to dance...it just makes me want to curse the sunrise and crush the world in my fist. Muahahah!
Love to YOU Always,
S
p.s. Big Bang Theory?
Damn Solly! That was sad! :(
And is it really Mikey Whatnot Way's birfday? Awweeeee!!! Happy Birthday Mikey!
And Jules,
If you just happen to run into any of the guys tonight, tell them they kicked some major ass in Orlando and we miss them like whoah. ^_^
Gah! I don't wanna go to work today! Booooo!!! I wanna go with Jules!
>_<
Later peeps!
The OPs are smart, funny and spirited women with big hearts and even bigger smiles. They are fighters. They keep on keeping on, no matter what life throws at them. That's punk.
Doesn't mean they have a special connection with Frank though.
Mikey Way!
Happy Birthday and What-not and all and everything!
a special connection for 7:11
all are invited to connect
thanks wendy smoke and sdock
sdock that is a really sad story, the day will never be one she can remember fondly
It's always tragic to lose a life partner, I don't think anyone ever expects it.
Mayo,(and everyone)
well I assume if you've read back you'll know that a good friend lost his wife today.
They were a devoted couple, active in the community and church, raised 2 lovely children (both of whom I taught), he was a colleague for 13 years, they threw us our engagement party.
it's always terrible hearing the news, though I know she is now in a better place, free from the pain and cancer that claimed her.
But as I continued through my day, teaching my kids, celebrating the birthday of a staff member of the library, then coming home to my husband and daughter, driving down to my evening tutoring the same thought struck me as always does in these situations, best summed up by the chorus of a Wendy Matthews song
"Hey there's not a cloud in the sky
It's as blue as your goodbye
And I thought that it would rain on a day like today
Hey there's not a cloud in sight
It's as blue as your goodbye
And I thought that it would rain
on the day you went away"
don't you think somehow there should be some change, some significant alteration to the world when things like this happen to you, or someone you know of. But it doesn't. Everything carries on, lives proceed, day changes to night, the world carries on, it's a sobering thought that for a family time has changed more than they would ever want to imagine. And it happens every second of every day.
(another internet friend of mine lost a family member today too)
I think it is so important to remember that we are so fortunate , always, that we aren't a person for who time, as we know it, stops.
Another person has lost the person they thought they'd spend their whole life with ,
...you'd think it'd rain
Wishing you love, kindness, health and happiness
much love EP xx
SS hoping you too are safe in the knowledge that you are, for another day, blessed with the companionship of family, friends and loved ones. Never forget how easily it can be taken away, cherish every second.
Sending you love, happiness and joy lotsa love EP xx
goodnight blogbelieve see you in my morning

Why are so many people waving to James D. these days? Nobody was waving to him a month ago.
You might think some of these lovelies met him somewhere. The question is, why would he be here at Mayonaise's blog.
Hmmm...
if you don't know the song
(Im getting tearing watching this
The day you went away
Hey
does it ever make you wonder
what's on my mind?
I
I was only ever running
back to your side
I never cried
I just watched my life go by
it's just a pack of lies
coz you're leaving me behind
why
after this long is there nothing I'll keep
oh I can shout
you'll pretend you're falling asleep
I live a lie
yeah
believing that you're mine
it's just a waste of time
coz you're leaving me behind
hey there's not a cloud in the sky
it's as blue as your goodbye
and I thought that it would rain
on a day like today
hey there's not a cloud in sight
it's as blue as your blue goodbye
and I thought that it would rain
the day you went away
hey
does it ever make you wonder
what's on my mind?
ooh yeah,
I was only ever running back
to your side
hey there's not a cloud in the sky
it's as blue as your goodbye
and I thought that it would rain
on a day like today
hey there's not a cloud in sight
it's as blue as your blue goodbye
and I thought that it would rain
the day you went away
he's on the buses
and the aeroplanes
with some groceries
and a sleeping bag

Oh great, more conspiracies.
Yes, the OPs now have a special connection to James now.
I haven't noticed the OPs waving to James D. I have noticed Smoke, Sdock10 and Fimble Star doing that waving. Maybe they have a special connection to James now. Good for them. But why would James be here? One wonders.
But TRY, at least, to respect Frank and the fact that BOTH his grandmothers passed away within a month of each other last year.
Yes I am just soooo sure that Frank reads this blog and he was terribly offended when people were mean to a couple of old ladies because he lost his grandma's.
This place never fails to bring the lulz.
*waves to Mick Jager, Bruce Springsteen, Steven Tyler, The Jonas Brothers, Justin Timberlake, George Clooney, Will Smith, Matt Damon and Brad Pitt if they're here too*
But why would James be here? One wonders.
Umm... he's not?
Just more blog delusions. This place is like the fucking Twilight Zone.
*waves to Elvis Presley, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain, John Lennon and Jeff Buckley*
Hey, if Frank and James are reading it maybe they are too.
anything goes here.there's even blog groupies.
Oh gosh! It's just a joke. That's it. We did meet James but only for a second. I kind of ended up face to face with him by accident. O_o
"Hey kids! Wassup?"
Hee-hee.
*waves to Hambone*
I really wish I'd have given that dude a squeezy hug but I didn't see him afterwards.
:(
He told us to watch out for the chords and stuff. He was sweet.
But that's all it is, Anon. Just a joke. We in no way think that James is here or has been here.
No conspiracy! Promise! ^_^
oh I just remembered a thought I meant to add
I heard someone once say that they loved their partner so much, that they wished, when the time came, that their partner would die first, as they never wanted them to go through the pain of loss, and life alone.
anons
I really hope that despite appearances, you do know what in life is really important, take a minute to appreciate who and what you have, you never know when it might be gone.
*waves to Moses, Noah, Cleopatra, Catherine the great, Columbus, King Tut, Lewis, Clark and Pocahontas*
Waves to Mikey Way.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKEY!!!

Not funny, 8:33.
Don't make jokes about that, especially since both Frank and Adam Lazzara turn 27 this year. And so does Bert McCracken in Feb. 2009.

Adam Lazarra and Bert Mccraken are just 26?
Why not?
*waves to Mikey Way on his birthday*
I luv u Elvis. You will always be my king.
*waves*
Wait, somebody here knows about Jeff Buckley? Hell has surely frozen over.
It's not frozen over yet. Just some frost on the brimstone floor.
Sorry, Elvis has left the building!
*waves to Jeff Buckley*
whoever the hell he is
Noooooo
don't leave me Elvis. Who will I bow down to now? I has a big sad.
*waves to 9:05 who doesn't know who Jeff Buckley is*
Could somebody educate 9:05? That would be very nice.
*strolls in*
I think the biggest lesson I was ever taught was to not be a master of one thing, but a novice of all.
Learn about these folks. Read about them, listen to their music, becasue a lot of them determined what you now listen to.
You don't have to love them or like their style, but one day, like today when they get namedropped, you'll be able to say, "Oh man, yeah, let me tell you what I know, and you tell me what you know!" That way everybody learns, you know?
And this goes for everything. Know a little bit about it all, and don't be afraid to say "I don't know."
Morning guys! I hope you're all doing well. :)
The links didn't work, so I'll try again. :)
Jeff Buckley
"Hallelujah," because this is my favorite version.
YouTube
Here you go! I hope you enjoy them. :)
Thank you mustardisbetter. That was very nice of you. I did enjoy the videos.
Hi guys!
Jeff Buckley did a nice version of Hallelujah, splash, but there's nothing in the world that can beat the original, and so now i have to kill you. ;D
Ergo, I am so sorry about your friend's wife, and their whole family.
Imma hang around till around 5 trying to get stuff done (because the rest of my week before I go away is ALL ET UP!) and then I'm heading off to Leathermouth. Whoop whoop! ^_^
I wish I could bring you guys with me. :D
hello mayo! i am so effing late here today!
hope you have a great day!
SS!! you too! we still miss your silliness! and well we just miss you! take it easy!
hi everyone!
ergo so sorry to hear about your friend's wife. loved the lyrics of the song. they made me a bit teary as well! life is so precious it is scary!
Kapunua i liked your animations! very good! hey you did realise that pyscho killer had mirror image GW hair!! ^_~
K have a fab time tonight!
hope everyone else is having good wednesdays (thursdays for those down under!)
mustard thanks for the links. either i was hiding under a rock for most of the 90's or i dunno what.... but although i had heard of Jeff Buckley i didn't know his music or how he died. i am putting that down totally to me living in england and nothing to do with me being an ignorant fuck!!
OPs just wanted to offer you both a *hug*. i hate to see you getting alot of grief here.
that also applies to everyone of course!
oh and Happy Birthday Mikey Way!
it's bolded cos i just know he lurks here all the fucking time! ^_~
i love that i learnt to wink! i feel i am being so expressive!
ya di ya di ya di yah!!
ok i know i have missed lots but if i do a massive HELLØ to everyone i hope that kinda suffices??!!
Guys, CERN did it. ^_^
oh, hi FASC, and thanks! ^_^
Oh god, Psycho Killer has had red hair since his birth inside my head. And it's red, not pink. That drawing is almost three years old, I think. (Aww, my characters are getting so big! Now if someone would publish their story! ;D )
Good Morning, everyone!
Ergo, I'm sorry to hear about your friend's wife, please give my condolences. Even if you know it is coming, it doesn't make it any easier.
Wendy, it's so good to see you, well, ANYWHERE. I'm so glad you are alright. Keep working on the video!
Elena, how are you feeling today? The cold meds were kicking in last night, weren't they? :) My prescip for you today is to have Flighty go to Starbucks and bring you your fav coffee, plus one of everything in the store that has chocolate in it. And oh, GO TO THE DOCTOR IF IT GETS WORSE! Direct orders.
Everyone who stood up for us last night, thank you so much. Usually we just leave it be because it does no good to engage them. But we really appreciated the kindness.
By the way, I saw the comment about me changing my post. For those who missed it, the original was titled "Motherfucking Son-Of-A-Bitch" and the text was "I am so sick of their shit!"
The reason I changed it was to mess with the anons from last night, since it was the anons who attacked J. the other night that I was referring to. Guess they missed the sarcasm! I was not referring to any regular, unless it was regulars who attacked J. But since I now know that anons are reading my blog, I will try to come up with interesting topics for them in the future.
Anyway, have a good day and I will see you guys later!
Love,
L.
Oh, yeah, a HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Mikey Way! Nearly missed that...
Love,
L.
:*
*giggle*
:)
You make me happy, you make me cry
You give me something that money can't buy
You make my heart stop, you make it race
You know just how to put a smile on my face
:)
Death pool. How long before Gerard tops himself?
CERN Roolz! Although a Black Hole Sun would have been cool for a sec or two.
.....was sensitive to the fact that many punk-influenced bands preferred indie labels. I asked the band if they wanted to stay with Sub Pop. Kurt emphatically answered, "Absolutely not." The band wanted to reach more people. "And you know who wanted to reach more people the most of the three of us?" Krist asked me rhetorically years later, "Kurt. He wanted to make it big."
In the spring, Nirvana recorded the album 'Nevermind.' The cover was, like everything else connected to Nirvana, Kurt's idea. He had seen a picture of a baby underwater and made a drawing that showed a baby being lured by a dollar bill on a fishhook.
I finally saw Nirvana in concert when they were booked as the opening act for Dinosaur Jr. Although most of the songs the band played had not come out yet, Kurt had a mystical and powerful connection with the audience. After increasing cynicism about what rock 'n' roll had turned into, I felt the naive excitement of a teenager.
Somehow Kurt was able to be both on the stage and in the audience, rocking the crowd out and yet also among them.
Within days of the September 24, 1991, release of 'Nevermind,' it was clear that Nirvana was not just another cult band. The earnest guys who had cheerfully worked on the album in relative obscurity were about to become rock stars with a velocity that the music business had not experienced since the days of 'The Ed Sullivan Show.' Kurt had made a connection, and he understood that Nirvana, within the first few days of the release of 'Nevermind,' was no longer limited in appeal to the punk-rock press.
Up until this point, Kurt had been in charge behind the scenes but chose to stay out of the spotlight. He couldn't even figure out what he wanted to call himself, experimenting with spelling his name "Kurdt" and "Curt," before deciding on the original. After the album came out, Kurt decided that he would be the primary spokesman for the band.
Nirvana played one more time in the indie-rock venues that had nurtured them before they went on to conventional arenas.
At Chicago's Metro, on October 12, 1991, a tall blonde introduced herself to me as Courtney Love of the band Hole. She said she had come to keep her friend Lori Barbero, of the band Babes in Toyland, company. Lori was the latest alt-rock woman who had a crush on Grohl. I was charmed by Courtney's self-effacing affect, although I'd soon learn that she had numerous personae she could call up at will, and this would be the last time I would ever see Courtney as an underdog. After the show I saw her sitting on Kurt's lap, a comical image given how much bigger she was than him. But there was nothing comical about their connection. From that night on, they were inseparable.
Until Courtney came along, Kurt had never spoken to me about anything personal. He was moody, prone to depression and capable of quietly scathing bitterness. Kurt could create a distancing aura that made me feel I needed to walk on eggshells when I approached him about even the most routine issues. But most of the time he had a sweetness and gentility about him. He rarely took out his bad moods on the people around him. And when the clouds of despair parted, his scintillating smile and wry humor could light up any room.
Courtney's very presence was a metaphor for the end of one era in the band's life and the beginning of another. Often she was just a mouthpiece for what Kurt himself wanted and didn't feel like asking for. Although I knew Courtney could be difficult or irrational, it was also obvious that Kurt's attachment to her was no passing fancy.
The weekend in January 1992 that Nirvana did 'Saturday Night Live' for the first time was a turning point that put into focus the heroin problem that was to haunt Kurt for the rest of his life. (He dyed his hair pink for the show, which somehow added a sense of dissolution.) Courtney called me at home the morning the show aired and asked me to get Kurt $5,000 in cash so they could do some "shopping." I felt pretty uncomfortable as I delivered the package of $100 bills to her at the hotel. Abruptly, the dark cloud of drug excess had entered the band's life. I was confronted by the baroque facade of lies and the awful glassy-eyed deadness that regular heroin use provides. I resolved to confront them about it after we got through the next few days in New York.
Soon after, on February 24, Kurt and Courtney got married, in Waikiki, where they had stopped on the way back from Australia and Japan. It was a very small wedding attended by the other band members and some of the crew.
In the early months of his marriage Kurt spoke about Courtney in terms that were almost courtly, a fantasy of the way he imagined a loving husband would talk about his wife.
Kurt's sentiment about his marriage was reflected in a cover story on him and Courtney in the teen magazine Sassy. "In the last couple of months I've gotten engaged and my attitude has changed drastically," Kurt said. "I can't believe how much happier I am. At times I even forget that I'm in a band, I'm so blinded by love. I know that sounds embarrassing, but it's true. I could give up the band right now. It doesn't matter, but I'm under contract." Kurt was being disingenuous. He was well aware that his contract didn't force him to be in a band or to record, it simply meant that any recording he chose to release would have to come out on Geffen Records.
Huh, I think the doomsayers are equivalent to the folks who thought we would all be on the other side of a Black Hole today.
Gerard is no Kurt Cobain and MCR is certainly no Nirvana, either in talent or record sales. It's ludicrous to compare the two.
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.
You make me happy, happy, happy, you-ooh-ooh

It is ludicrous not to see the similarities.
Life and everything in it is ludicrous. Enjoy.
Hello
Hope everyone is having a good day.
I'm sure I'm setting the world's record for most sneezes in an hour.
Stupid cold.
Hey guys, hey Elena!
Just got back from dropping off paperwork for dogs' boarding, and visiting with my bestest pal who works there.
Now I gotta do my laundry, and so much other stuff before leaving for the show tonight!

Well, regardless of your views on MCR vs. Nirvana, I think it's safe to say that Gerard, at least, tries to emphasize the similarities.
