Drill Bit
Tuesday I hear it’s going around;
I’m off...again, knuckled white.
Wednesday I will talk myself into
Round about routes to denial.
If I say it, then it won’t come true.
And, I find comfortable restraint; bound to
Repeating it over and over and over. And again,
It feels better that way, medicated meditation.
Then Thursday everything is white. I eat
From a bland full service spectrum buffet,
Plated and nothing touches.
I won’t even sip from her cup.
By Friday I am unable to tolerate human contact.
And, I count back to the last
In order to find spared time. I’ll be free-
On Saturday what is in the air will kill me.
So, I hold my breath between rooms. Suffocated,
Sunday I become completely restricted.
I will not accept from anyone, anything
That has been anywhere other than here.
Those days, they wear me hard
And to the end, so I have become
Exhausted from the fight. I finally sleep.
Then Monday brings me back, slightly.
With a negligent handshake,
So that again Tuesday I am found,
Wringing dry, anticeptic hands.
I will not allow myself to open a door
I stay; refusal and restraint, withholding.
p.s. its got quite a grip.

If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.
HH The Dalai Lama
With a selfish attitude, oneself is important, and others are not so important. According to Shantideva's advice, a technique to help in turning this attitude around is to imagine- in front of yourself as an unbiased observer- your own selfish self on one side and a limited number of other beings on the other side- ten, fifty, or a hundred. On one side is your proud, selfish self, and on the other side is a group of poor, needy people. You are, in effect, in the middle- as an unbiased, third person. Now, judge. Is this one, single, selfish person more important? Or is the group of people more important? Think. Will you join this side or that side? Naturally, if you are a real human being, your heart will go with the group because the number is greater and they are more needy. The other one is just a single person, proud and stupid. Your feeling naturally goes with the group. By thinking in this way, selfishness gradually decreases,
and respect of others grows. This is is the way to practice
there is love, there is hope to have real families, real brotherhood, real equanimity, real peace. If the love within your mind is lost, if you continue to see other beings as enemies, then no matter how much knowledge or education you have, no matter how much material progress is made, only suffering and confusion will ensue.
"Human beings will continue to deceive and overpower one another. Basically,
everyone exists in the very nature of suffering, so to abuse or mistreat each
other is futile. The foundation of all spiritual practice is love. That you
practice this well is my only request.
Dalai Lama = fabulousness
I feel all warm reading those quotes anon.
Thanks for sharing x
You're welcome 3.09.
You too 3.11. I didn't post the first one. Only the ones under my name. :)
We find that if a person lives a very selfish life and is never concerned about the welfare of others, he will have few friends, and people will not take much notice of him. At the time of his death, there will not be many people who will regret his passing. Some deceptive and negative persons may be very powerful and wealthy, and therefore some people- for economic reasons and so forth- might portray themselves as friends, but they will speak against such person behind their back. When these negative person die, these very same "friends" may rejoice at their death.
On the other hand, many people mourn and regret the death of a person who is
very kind and always altruistic and who works for the benefit of others. We
find that altruism, as well as the person who possesses it, is regarded as the friend of all, and it becomes the object of veneration and respect by others.
very proud dog pees on every tree in forest
More to make you warm and fuzzy.
Compassion can be put into practice if one recognizes the fact that every human being is a member of humanity and the human family regardless of differences in religion, culture, color and creed.
Whether we are rich or poor, educated or uneducated, whatever our nationality, color, social status, or ideology may be, the purpose of our lives is to be happy.
It is the nature of human beings to yearn for freedom, equality and dignity. If we accept that others have a right to peace and happiness equal to our own, do we not have a responsibility to help those in need? All human beings, whatever their cultural or historical background, suffer when they are intimidated, imprisoned, tortured or discriminated against. The question of human rights is so fundamentally important that there should be no difference of views on this.
hey maYO!! you good?
SS you too?!
Dalai Lama are you the old Dalai Lama that used to frequent the blog back in the Kass days?? no worries if not, it's all good to read.
just an in and out from me. Lost is about to start.
ergo so good to read that you are safe.
GS lovely to see you around.
hope everyone is doing good? catch some of you around at some point.
love to you all.
♥
hi anons also.
I totally got this visual of a guy wearing dark sunglasses, Bermuda shorts, Hawaiian shirt and a Panama hat.
Elena, does he have a white triangle for a nose? Is the shirt so bright you could see him from fifty miles away in an Arctic Snowstorm?
I visualized socks'n'sandals too though. Bad idea. Your feet overheat when you hit the sand, and sand-dirt is really hard to get out of white socks too.
Also, if you go to a nudist beach Mayo, don't bring bread to feed the birds. For obvious reasons.
good morning
wendy - thanks and will do
hi and thanks fasc
hi amy
hi anons
and thank you too 10:50 for me, hope everyone else who needs to sees your wishes too
Hallo Ergo!
I'm just heading off again for a bit actually. Tried my wig on today and I have big gaps of hair sticking out everywhere, so I just got on to find something to rectify that with. Ugh, more work on this wig.
Anyway, I'll be around later!
no worries amy, I'm doing the school drop off, finishing marking yr 8 exams then working for a couple of hours, so I'll be back later too, see you then
Ergo
Not sure if I’ll be around when you come back so I wanted to tell you something before I forget. I found a copy of a book I’ve wanted to share with you. It’s called “A Small Dark Place.” By Martin Schenk. This is one of those books that I read years ago but it has really stayed in my memory and since my memory is sorta like Swiss cheese that means it’s pretty good. I think you will enjoy the book but it is very different. The end really surprised me. Anyway, I’ll send it along in your next package.
Hey to anyone here. Hope you had a good Sunday.
Just to let you know I'm giving away volumes 1-6 of the Umbrella Academy if anyone is interested. It's all still brand new and comes in those plastic folders with those cardboards attached to them. I also have the special cover of the first issue with the Eiffel Tower that GW drew.
I initially lost interest in the series, so I'm more than happy to give them away if anyone is interested. You can email me anytime, and I'll send them as soon as possible.
Holy crap, BC. You really don't like UA? I love it. Well I'm sure someone will take you up on your offer.
Elena, lol, I did like it, I just haven't spent much time reading it, and it's wasting space on my shelves, so I thought it'd be better if I gave them to someone who will enjoy them more than I did.
Sadly, since I first bought the issues, I have only read them once.
Right now I'm more into collecting japanese manga and Buffy comics.
Also, if you go to a nudist beach Mayo, don't bring bread to feed the birds. For obvious reasons.
lol amy i really laughed
BC
Do you read the Buffy books? I've got tons of them I read once and if you would like any of them just let me know.
Oh man, I was having trouble with my visual of Mayo on vacation and now this....a nudist beach?
Just so there are no sandals with socks involved I'm okay with it I guess.
Elena, yep. I have a few of them, but ever since I moved, I don't have them with me anymore. Thanks for the offer! Do you know which novels you have?
I have lots of them BC. It might be easier if you e-mail me a list of what you have and I'll send you the ones I have that you don't.
Elena, I sure will. I'll send an email in a bit. Thanks.
Okay BC. I'll be glad to give the books a new home. I enjoyed them and would be happy to pass them along.
Thanks elena. I'll be more than happy to send my TUA issues to you if you're missing any :)
Thanks BC but I have them all.
What Japanese manga do you read?
Halloo? People still home?
Hi there J, good to see you! How are you?
Elena, honestly, there's so many manga titles out it's so hard to choose, which can be kinda overwhelming, but right now I'm reading this new series called St. Dragon girl, it's about a girl who's a skilled martial artist, and her friend fights off demons, but together they try to fight off a demon called the Serpent King who's trying to find a bride of his own.
There's only one volume out so far, but it's pretty good. Another series I read is called Vampire Knight, and GALS, both are pretty good, but there's still so much I want to check out :O
Hey J
Good to see ya. I'm sorta here but it's time to get the slumbering giant up for work so I'll be in and out for a bit.
The Spike and Dru book was cool, but I can't remember the name of it.
Hi BC, doing pretty well, I guess. Apparently still recovering from the Martian Death Flu, you know that slightly icky feeling that comes and goes? That's the one. Right now, it's gone, so I'm pleased. :)
How are you doing?
Speaking of manga, I got L the "Princess Ai" compilation for Christmas, she really likes it. Have you read that one?
Hey there anon. I heard it was good, although I don't remember the title since it's been out for a while now.
There is a comic in one of the Buffy omnibus books that focuses on Spike and Dru. I read it once at the bookstore and thought it was pretty good. It took place I think in the 1800's in France or something.
Anon there are actually quite a few books with Spike and Dru. I have to admit I always liked her. So wonderfully insane and I loved how Spike tried to care for her when she wasn't driving him crazy!
Hey Elena, hi Anon, how's things?
Elena, I hear ya. Good luck with that. ;)
L says HI to all. She's on the couch, engrossed in a biography of Oscar Wilde. O_o
I've told you, she reads EVERYthing.
J, you still have the flu? How long have you've had it? I'm glad you feeling a bit better.
I never read Princess Ai, although I wanted to try it out for some time now.
Too many manga to choose though :/
*waves to L*
*L waves back* :D
See, the MDF just likes to hang and hang and hang. I don't have the actual "flu" symptoms, I just feel icky, usually early in the day. Still have congestion, so part of it's the sinus problems. Besides, whatever I have illness-wise clings to me b/c of the diabetes thing. Takes longer to heal.
L said Princess Ai was really really good. She loves Courtney Love, anyway, so she really enjoyed the manga.
*wanders in, massaging her brain*
Taxes, taxes, taxes....
Hallo everyone.
*notices a calculator on the table and winces*
Hey Amy, are you mentally impaired tonight? As always, according to some?
Thanks for the recommendation J. And get well soon, ya hear? :D
Hallo Amy! Taxes on the brain, eh?
Elena: email has been sent.
A, you know I'm kidding. *hugs* I was trying to do NinjaMath earlier today and failed miserably. I feel your pain.
Thanks, BC, I'm tryin'! Just keep on pushing on.
J, I am mentally incapacitated this evening.
Hallo BC. My brain is definitely taxed, for sure.
Lolling Nudist Anon from earlier, you are welcome for the laugh.
*grins at J*
Doing taxes 'round these parts actually means "Email the info to Mom, and she'll send them back"
I really just need to copy them out, but it seems when you're forcing yourself to stare at a computer screen, your eyes start to revolt.
I looked for it on my shelves and can't find it (the spike and dru book) but I think it might be Pretty Maids All in a Row, or something that sounds equally creepy. And I meant to sign in before, but I'm kinda on Facebook all at the same time, and multi tasking confuses oldsters.
hi, everyone.
Hallo Teej and Carrie!
Is Elena still around too? I bet you she's laughing at me.
Hey Carrie! You know, I multitask all the time. Old habit from work. I end up (trying to do) doing 5 or 6 things at a time.
Carrie, yeah, I think that was the title. Hi there.
Hiya TJ
Amy, ice cream will get those taxes off the brain. I just had three cones, lol.
Hey TJ, long time no see!
A, she's getting Mr Elena ready for work. She should be back soon.
hi amyranth, hi bc. hello j.
ugh. i'm trying to tell my editor at thorn magazine that i won't be writing for the next issue.
i just can't come up with anything for the themes he suggested.
not a fun email to write.
Do you have to write about his suggestions, or can you write about what you want, TJ?
Mmmm... Tax-Brain-Freeze.
A new ice cream flavour? It could be pink, with purply red candies in it shaped like numbers and mathematical signs.
i think he would be open to ideas about articles, j. -- he's very easy to work with! -- but i just don't have any right now. i've been working on this other story, one that i started writing back in seattle, and it's kind of sucking up all my juices at the moment.
wow. that was a gross way to describe the writing process, wasn't it?
Mmm...not so appealing, TJ. :)
A: Tax-Brain-Freeze is available from Jan. 1 through April 15 in all your fine neighborhood grocery establishments.
Also available at Baskin-Robbins in the giant economy-sized bucket.
Teej, you just reminded me of the episode of Futurama where Hermes comes back from a vacation on the Brain Slug Planet, and he's trying to get everyone to take a slug from him.
Also available at Baskin-Robbins in the giant economy-sized bucket.
Is it tax-free? Do I have to use certain forms to claim that? Which ones? What calculator function will best decipher these forms? How long will it be before I end up curled in the fetal position in the corner of my room, cackling and smearing the walls with the Economy Bucket of Tax-Brain-Freeze?
Got it BC, books will be in the mail tomorrow.
Hey J wave to L please
Hey TJ good to see you. Having writers block?
Hello Carrie I think that is the title cause I read that one too
Amy - me laught at you? Nooooooooo
Teej, I totally forgot about you working for the magazine that I meant to get. I am such a lazy pagan. I so want to get back into it, but it seems like there is always something stupid to do, like clean a sink, or yell at a kid. I need to take more time for me.
hi elena. it's not really writer's block, since i'm still writing other stuff. and maybe i'll have something for him next issue.
carrie, you can order the issues right off their website, thornmagazine.com. *grin for the shameless plug*
Amy - me laught at you? Nooooooooo
LOL.
I meant:
"I have to go do my taxes now, ugh"
*15 minutes later*
"Hi everyone at Mayo's!"
Thanks elena.
helloooo!!!!
Cool, TJ! And hey everyone who is here (an op, elena, and maybe Amy?) I told y'all, I'm multitasking and talking to someone I went to high school with over 20 years ago. I kinda love the internet, what with the bringing of new people, and the returning of the old. And I do mean old, in my case. :)
ok tax icecream, Buffy, manga, waving juice sucking, mayo nude sunbathing......
and what did I walk into?
Hey Ergo
How's it going in the world of tomorrow?
hi carrie elena Tj BC Amy
waves to L
elena thanks for the book, I am always interested in new stuff
Is it tax-free? Do I have to use certain forms to claim that? Which ones? What calculator function will best decipher these forms? How long will it be before I end up curled in the fetal position in the corner of my room, cackling and smearing the walls with the Economy Bucket of Tax-Brain-Freeze?
***********************************
Yes. No. None. "Clear". Approximately 12 hours after you fill in the last block on the original forms.
Just like H & R Block, I gotcher answers.
tomorrow here elena is sunny and blue sky and quite hot, amazing how it can change so fast
TC Hamish is still menacing the coast further south but isn't coming any closer which is good for people down there
Halloo Ergo, Visitor From the Future! How's your weather today?
hi ergo, glad to hear that mr. hamish is taking his business elsewhere. :)
lol J
hiya ergo
THE WORRRRRRRRLLLLLLD OF TOMORRRROOOOOOOOWWWWWWW!
I swear, Futurama is everywhere!
THE WORRRRRRRRLLLLLLD OF TOMORRRROOOOOOOOWWWWWWW!
I swear, Futurama is everywhere!
Amy have you seen the Futurama movies? They are so good
i read that cyclone hamish has the equivalent force of katrina. keep safe ergo.
Elena, I saw the Beast With A Billion Backs, and I liked it. I'd like to see the other two, or three that they have out. It was a really good series.
haha that us exactly the line I thought of, I have the Futurama DVDs and watch it a lot on TV.
I haven't seen the movies though and I really should (thinks of birthday list for brother)
well, time for me to go to bed. good night everyone. good chatting with you all.
Futurama movies? Are they on DVD, by chance? I'd like to see those.
Ergo, I'm doing that more and more. Amy and I had a "Twin Brain Moment" on email last night. SPOOKY...
>.<
Night TJ sweet dreams
Goodnight TJ, see you later!
12:36 it has, but it is south of us now as long as it doesn't turn around we are ok now.But thanks
It is weakening as it goes south but they are very unpredictable, the town in most danger now is a town called Hervey Bay it sticks out from the coast. But they are expecting it'll stay off the coast and weaken, which will be good for everyone
Amy, what's this about parents bringing 5 year-old's to see the Watchman movie?
Goodnight tj
It's pretty bad when you're typing an email to someone and it goes like this:
"So today, I called back the other place about the job and get the jesus out of my head, would you? I applied at the Transit Headquarters too already. Christ."
LOL, BC.
People are bringing their kids to 10pm showings of Watchmen, and getting pissed off when they find out that it's not Spiderman or Superman or The Jonas Brothers 3D Experience.
Some lady was ranting about it today in the paper, that nobody told her when she bought her tickets that it was an adult film.
Just because something ends with "-man" doesn't mean it's the kind of superhero movie you want your kids to see.
Hello! Orgazmo!
goodnight TJ sweet dreams
What is the rating on the movie?
I'm not sure if I should call that lady an idiot then. Either that, or just plain lazy on her part. They played the commercials all the time, and she didn't bother to see that it was R-rated?
Sheesh.
Ergo, overhere, the movie is R-rated, so you have to bring a parent with you if you're under 17.
People don't think for themselves much anymore. They're quick to say, "Well nobody told me blah blah blah". It's not others' responsibility to TELL you everything. She could've looked at the ad in the paper, or called the theatre to ask about the plot.
Its much too easy to lay the blame at someone else's feet. That way, it's never your fault.
mayo,
it's tax time for me, too -- i've been working on them for awhile now, and never seem to get done. there's always another w-2 to get or schedule to fill out. last year also wreaked havoc on my taxes.
today i just got so fed up. most of my difficulty comes from one employer, and it made me so angry today to realize just how much they screwed me up.
yes, i had a bit of a tantrum. yes, i succumbed to tax-rage.
anyway, after i had calmed down -- sat in the guest room with the door closed and watched the thunderstorms and the spring flowers under my window being spangled with rain -- i had this moment where i suddenly asked myself "what the hell am i doing here?"
have you ever had a moment like that? suddenly, nothing makes sense.
that's what i learned about exploring when i was in england, rambling through the countryside...there always comes a time when you are sure you are lost. even if you have a map, all of a sudden, you won't know if that oak tree in fromt of you is the same as the one on the map, or if you should've climbed over the stile in the field behind you.
it doesn't last very long, and usually if you just keep on walking forward the path will resolve itself around you, but oh man, it is not fun to suddenly lose where you are.
but the flowers were beautiful, and the rain smelled so good.
good night, mayo. remember to stop and look around you when you get lost. you don't have to smell the roses but at least compliment them on their pretty colors.
I agree J, you can't rely on someone else to tell you when something might be bad for you. Common sense is not common anymore, and it's a damn shame.
I mean really, does Rorschach look like a Peter Parker kinda guy to you? His face is a moving inkblot for christ's sake!
J, exactly. And knowing the hype around the film, they were constantly showing the commercial more than a few times a day.
How so damn lazy-thinking people are getting these days.
Speaking of Watchmen I'm going to go to see it at an Imax. I'm so excited.
Fred is going with me. She is not excited. LOL
I also read a comment that some guy was disappointed because in the movie it kept showing one of the watchmen's package through his costume or something.
Lol.
Well BC, that's his own damn fault.
*tee hee* Lower Manhattan.
he doesn't have a costume BC he's naked
and it's called "Lower manhattan" now apparently lol
gosh you know if a movie is R I'd say it's not appropriate for anyone under 17 really, I mean a parent has to be aware it's R for a reason, that's just stupid
but is part of the whole "nobody specifically told me exactly that" so it's not her fault of course
Anyway, I'm gonna split! Taxes are done, now I just need to pray to the Gods of Financials that Mom's mathematics aren't wrong..
Goodnight everyone! Goodnight Mayo!
goodnight AMy!
OH!!!!
I got your voice message when I got into cell service
you sound so cute!!!!
I tried to call back but it won't connect as it's international, if you send me your number I can call you next I'm in town
:]
Lower manhattan? Lol.
Goodnight Amy, sweet dreams.
"in the movie it kept showing one of the watchmen's package through his costume or something."
THAT'S THE BEST PART! Jeez Louise. Nobody's ever happy.
;D
***********
"I mean really, does Rorschach look like a Peter Parker kinda guy to you? His face is a moving inkblot for christ's sake!"
Spiderman? No. Venom? Maybe.
************
"Fred is going with me. She is not excited. LOL"
Tell her Bob's in it. ;)
Goodnight Amy, talk to you later!
Gives new meaning to the question: What part of NY do you live in? heeheehee
J
I could tell her Bob is in it and then she'd be happy.
She just keeps muttering about knowing she'll have to sit through the damn credits.
Guess I'll head for bed as well. Goodnight, ladies, have a lovely day tomorrow.
Goodnight Mayo, please be wearing clothes at the beach. If you care for us at all, please be wearing clothes at the beach.
love, faith, hope, peace, happiness
Night Amy
Night J
*whispers* why J?
Elena: :D
Take a picture of Bob with you, hold it up so it looks like he's in the movie, move it around to make it look like he's walking...then she'll never know!
Of course Bob DOES have his own superhero costume. Remember the short black pants, the hoodie, the tube socks, the sunglasses? Indianapolis?
Fooled us all, he did. ;D
Goodnight again!
*whispers back* You KNOW why, Elena!
If he doesn't watch, he could put somebody's eye out!
How could you forget? ;D
Goodnight J sweet dreams
bus brb
If he doesn't watch, he could put somebody's eye out!
Oh thanks so much. That visual is burned in my brain now. LOL
Dear SS,
Hello! I miss you so much, did you know? *hugs*
Apparently, the beach is the top vacation spot these days. Are you hanging out there, too? ("Hanging out", HAHAHA!) Funny, you don't seem like a beach kinda guy to me. I see you more as an international traveler, seeing the sights all over the world.
Have you been to London? That would be a cool place to go. Just keep in mind: Buckingham Palace is NOT a nudist zone, like Mayo's beach is.
Although if you wanted to, you could probably saunter past "au natural". You know, just to see if the guards ever DO change facial expressions. ;)
And would the Queen come out and say, "Oh MY. We ARE amused!"
Send pictures! Close-ups, if you have 'em.
Goodnight, baby! I love you.
My heart to yours, always.
P.S.
Elena:
You're welcome!
*smoooooooooooooooooooooooch*
:D
Love ya J
Goodnight
oh why did I come back and read J's comment!!!!!!
LOL Ergo
Don't worry I'm getting Mayo off the beach in my goodnight.
thank goodness for that elena!
my brain can't cope!!
Don't worry Ergo
I'll fix Mayo up
but no Crocs
Mayo
So in keeping with the vacation line of thinking, and since I’m pretty bored today, I’ve decided to be your travel agent. Oh the places you will go. Okay last night you were at the beach (maybe sans clothing) I’m not sure. Anyway today I visualized you at a campground in Colorado. Yep, Mountain Man Mayo. Let’s see you’ve got on a flannel plaid shirt and jeans. Oh and a ball cap. Yeah, but I can’t decide if it has a logo or a funny saying on it. Crap, I really don’t think that matters. So there you are. Got your tent all set up by a mountain stream. Got your campfire all ready just waiting to be lit. You even remembered marshmallows. I am impressed. Night fall, the temp drops and you light the fire. Yeah, that is nice. Sitting on a cooler (who needs chairs?) just watching the flames. Enjoying the night sounds and occasionally looking up at the stars. Shit, I just realized I’m giving you one of my vacation memories. Oh well I like to share. I just remember how peaceful that was and how I loved to look up at the stars. Out near Leadville Co when you look up it’s like a million twinkling lights. It made me feel so small yet so important. Once again not making sense but that was how it was. I miss that. I miss the hooting of the owls, the crackling of the flames, the brisk night air. Funny I had convinced myself that I’d never go camping again and that I didn’t miss it at all. I do lie to myself, don’t I?
Well there you go Mayo. That was your vacation spot for the day. Hope you enjoyed it. Tomorrow you’ll be in a new place doing something else. But for tonight, look up at those stars. Maybe you’ll feel what I did.
Night Mayo
Elena (When I look up into the night I count the stars all shining bright I wonder where I am and where I’m going) *
*Kansas lyrics.
goodnight elena, that's a nice travel spot
I love camping it's so peaceful, now I want to go, and as the weather cools it'll be nicer (camping in summer is not good here)
Goodnight elena.
I'm off for the night too. Goodnight ergo, sweet dreams.
Night Ergo
Yep I totally wanna go camping now. I just wanna be able to look up at those stars.
Night BC
Sweet dreams
goodnight BC sweet dreams
Hey Mayo
Don't forget to make sure you totally douse the flames before retiring for the night.
Don't make Smokey the Bear come after you. That dude scares me.
Hello Mayo, SS, Ergo, Elena, Sweetcheeks, Amy, J (L, probably in bed by now), Carrie, various anons, various lurkers and various watchers!!!
How are you all?
*hugs everyone*
I must get my chatting schedule back to normal! Nude beaches, icecream, talk of Spike, TAXES. I missed all the good stuff again!
Yes, I do think tax time is good stuff. Ha! I'm such an accounting nerd. I love it! I do!!! All those numbers, the brain juices flowing, the sounds of the "adding machine" printing out the paper (so you can check for mistakes)... the accounting teacher handing over the schools books to you (because she and the school's accountant had been trying to find their mistake for over a week ~ and you find it in a little over 30 minutes)! Awwww.... I love bookkeeping/accounting!!! What can I say? It's in my blood!
Note: Anyone requiring help with their taxes, please feel free to e~mail the digits to me!
Ergo: How are things going in Australia? I hope Hamish hasn't done too much damage!
*smooooooooch*
Sweetcheeks: How was your Sunday? Good, I hope!
TJ: How's work going? Have you moved on to a new house yet?
Elena: Sandy Ann and I are still waiting for that picture of Jake!
J: It's so good to see you posting again!!! I've missed you (and L). I hope the remnants of the martian death flu dissipate soon!
I think that is all for now.
Goodnight, everyone! Sweet dreams to one and all!
Hugs and Love,
~Namaste~

Heard the train coming, stayed out on the track
In the middle, in the middle, in the middle of a dream
I lost my shirt, I pawned my rings
I've done all the dumb things
Caught the fever, heard the tune
Thought I loved her, hung my heart on the moon
Started howling, made no sense
Thought my friends would rush to my defence
In the middle, in the middle, in the middle of a dream
I lost my shirt, I pawned my rings
I've done all the dumb things
And I get all your good advice
It doesn't stop me from going through these things twice
I see the knives out, I turn my back
I hear the train coming, I stay right on that track
In the middle, in the middle, in the middle of a dream
I lost my shirt, I pawned my rings
I've done all the dumb things
I melted wax to fix my wings
I've done all the dumb things
I threw my hat into the ring
I've done all the dumb things
I thought that I just had to sing
I've done all the dumb things

from Paul Kelly
- To Her Door
They got married early, never had no money
Then when he got laid off they really hit the skids
He started up his drinking, then they started fighting
He took it pretty badly, she took both the kids
She said: "I'm not standing by, to watch you slowly die
So watch me walking, out the door, out the door, out the door"
She said, "Shove it, Jack, I'm walking out the fucking door"
She went to her brother's, got a little bar work
He went to the Buttery, stayed about a year
Then he wrote a letter, said I want to see you
She thought he sounded better, she sent him up the fare
He was riding through the cane in the pouring rain
On Olympic to her door
To her door
To her door
To her door
He came in on a Sunday, every muscle aching
Walking in slow motion like he'd just been hit
Did they have a future?
Would he know his children?
Could he make a picture and get them all to fit?
He was shaking in his seat riding through the streets
In a silvertop to her....
Shaking in his seat riding through the streets
In a silvertop to her door
To her door
To her door
To her door
sing along
lotsa love EP xx

thanks smoke!
have a good Monday!!

Happy Monday Mayo,
My best friend’s father passed away this weekend. He wasn’t a nice man or a good man when we were growing up. He was heavy handed and quick to judge. My friend took care of him anyway. She didn’t have to. Nobody else was willing to suck it up and take care of him so she did it. For 6 years. Not only did she not complain, she said that she was glad for the opportunity to get to know him differently. Their relationship was rebuilt and I think she forgave him or at least decided to forget. She learned about herself and about him. I’m glad she had that time with him and I admire her for being so generous and self-less. It makes me ponder things about myself.
Honestly, I don’t know if I’d be a good caretaker for some of the people in my life. What can I say? I’m human. Certain people really fucked me up and I still hold a grudge.
It's been so nice here lately. OPJ came back. Then We have Amy, BC, Wendy...... the TRUE friends, the friends of this blog. Porchies (MOSTLY) gone but in short while what's left of them will probably filter out.
This is the way it should be.
If you deny that, you are obviously pretending. (Lying).
And the REASON there has been no attacks in a while is because the people who need to be put in their place are mostly gone.
Think about it.
No cliques. No "secret" behaviour. No "I'm better than you" attittude, no constant poetry, movie quotes just to upset Amyranth, no political talk, and no "I disagree with what you think so I'm going to ignore you" attittude.
If they can stay gone then the blog will stay peaceful. They should have realized that a log time ago. Maybe they did and they just didn't care.
lunchtime at school, huh?

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Five Chinese ships including a Chinese naval vessel harassed a U.S. Navy ship in the South China Sea on Sunday, at one point closing to within 25 feet of the ocean surveillance ship, the Pentagon said.
A Defense Department statement said the Chinese vessels "shadowed and aggressively maneuvered in dangerously close proximity" to the USS Impeccable, which was conducting routine operations in international waters 75 miles south of Hainan Island.
The Pentagon identified the Chinese vessels as a Navy intelligence ship, a bureau of maritime fisheries patrol vessel, a state oceanographic administration patrol vessel, and two small Chinese-flagged trawlers.
The Pentagon said the U.S. ship was operated by a civilian crew under contract with the Defense Department and accused the Chinese vessels of violating international law.
"We will be certainly letting the Chinese officials know of our displeasure with respect to this careless and reckless, unprofessional ... maneuver," Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman told reporters.
HAVE FUN IN CHINA K.
I am not in school and I work from home. Just because the rest of you don't work from home doesn't mean no one does. At least I have a job. How come you're not at yours?
I liked it when it was busy here with movie quotes, poems, jokes, life stories, parties. etc...
Now I wonder, "should I write that or will it offend someone?"
Then I think, "Fuck it. Scroll past my words if you don't like it."
Hey Jen. Hey anons.

Not the first time they've used those intimidation tactics. I'm sure it won't be the last.
Hey anon.
And, what are WE doing way over by China anyway? Just sayin' we don't own the world. That may shock a few people here, but US is not the owner of Earth.

The reason someone thought school was out to lunch was because they thought you where a kid in school because of your maturity level.
BINGO! I thought we were dealing with a kid, not a grown woman. But whatever.
No the US does not own the earth but the US is a super power for a reason. America is still the greatest place on earth to live. Love it or LEAVE it. If you are not proud of your country and you want to talk shit about the USA, then GET OUT.
Or GO TO CHINA, like some people.

Just like the rest of them..... if you don't agree that Amy was right and that it is better without all of that attittude they brought, then you must be immature.
THAT is one of the MANY attitudes I was happy to see GONE from here.
What about your shitty attitude? How is that so fucking great? Nobody was saying anything against anyone, and suddenly you just seem to decide things are too quiet so you poke poke poke.
I know I'm lucky to be an American.
I still believe in the freedom of speech. Do you?
The USA traipses all over the world and then wonders why other countries have issues with us when we are invading their space. What is wrong with this picture?
I love America, but I question it's government and their actions.
Hiya mayo, ss, everyone. How are you guys?
Anima, my thoughts are with you and your mum right now. You gotta look after each other during this tough time. You'll get through it together sweetie.
Miranth, great to see you back. Damn that car of yours though.
SC, great to see you here again. Long time no see.
Wendy, I was sorry to read of your friend. I guess she made her choice but it's sad. And sorry to hear about the wolves, that sucks. We may have to go on that nile cruise to cheer you up.
Happy belated birthday Fimmy, I hope you had a good one.
Ergo, so glad the storm hasn't got you.
Jenn, so sorry to hear about your friend's dad. At least she got her time with him. I hope she has replaced the bad memories with the good ones.
I am not in school and I work from home
You mean you are doing homework

Put in their place. That is an odd phrase to me.

We were in international waters . Probably cause we were asked to go there. They're the ones violating international law.
Of course you have freedom of speech. And I am expressing MINE, which is that if you hate America, you should not be here.
Why is it strange to say they were put in their place? Think about it. They were over running the blog and some of them even SAID they didn't care about the blog. What gave them the right to act like that? To constantly spam with poetry and quotes, and to ignore people who asked them not to?

You mean like the maturity level that existed here before. Yes. That was wonderful. Stick their head in a bucket of whats? Douche what? Dick who?
Too bad they never heard of the apology and the peace rose. That's usually taught in 2nd grade.

Please read The Fix again. Amy made a point of saying this. You can scroll all you want and ignore it all you want, but it is STILL THERE. That is what no one seems to get.
I thought they said they believed in freedom of speech. Their own words have proved them hypocrites. Deleting comments has too.
Telling someone to not spam the blog with poetry in quotes does NOT take away their freedom of speech.
It DOES politely tell them to stop doing it. They don't HAVE to stop. But it would be the mature thing to do.
Did they? No, if I remember, they laughed about it and made jokes towards the people their games were hurting.
Porchies (MOSTLY) gone but in short while what's left of them will probably filter out.
This is the way it should be.
Do you mind telling me who are you talking about and why do you want them gone too?
Anon, what is your particular problem today?
Too quiet so you need to pick, pick, pick?
Who do you hate today? Anybody and everybody?
Did they? No, if I remember, they laughed about it and made jokes towards the people their games were hurting.
How long ago was that?
Who are all the porchies anyway?
Is it only the 4 that you constantly blather about or are there more?
She is probably talking about Smoke and Sdock. I have never heard them say anything bad to anyone. The anon just don't like anybody that is friends with Kapunua. Isn't that right anon?
Not questioning your own government is not only naive but dangerous.
Oh yeah, let's not forget that mean evil fimble. ^_~
So, in essence this angry anonymous has a big, big problem with only 4 people.
And this anonymous brings it up over and over and over again?
Who's trying to 'overtake' the blog?
Please.
Did they? No, if I remember, they laughed about it and made jokes towards the people their games were hurting.
I think it was well over a year ago
So, in essence this angry anonymous has a big, big problem with only 4 people.
Yes,she thinks that they take up to much room on someone else's blog.O_O
There is more than one anon here. Things were quiet. Now things are not. Do you believe in freedom speech "some other anonymous" and 3:06?
If you do then you must believe the other anons can say what's on their minds. And if you don't like it you can say you don't. What you shouldn't do is try to insult them by calling them immature or some other inaccurate adjective for having an opinion different from yours.

March 9, 2009 3:11 PM
No. It wasn't. I'm sure Kapu's poem poking and mocking Amy is still up at the porch. Isn't it? I'm sure they have taken the word "cunts" off of the header by now. They can't deny it was there.
Things were quiet. Now things are not.
If you want quiet why don't you take a nap? Is there a rule of how many times you can comment or something?
I object to when anybody is called a name. Whether you're a blue name or not.
I'm tired of the relentles persecution of the same 4 people you seem to be after. You're like a dog with a bone.
Yes, I could leave. But why should I? I've been here since the beginning.
No. It wasn't. I'm sure Kapu's poem poking and mocking Amy is still up at the porch. Isn't it?
Does that mean you are one of the porchies? You must of gone over there to read it. Seriously, why dwell on this. I enjoy everyone who comes here. When people come on that you don't like you don't always have to say something bad about them.
It's not the porchies that make this a bad place it's the anons that always say hurtful things when someone they don't like makes a comment.
more information on China's violation of international law
White House: US will operate in South China Sea
The Associated Press
Monday, March 9, 2009; 2:01 PM
WASHINGTON -- The White House says it expects China to respect international law, in particular for vessels operating in the South China Sea.
The Pentagon says five Chinese ships shadowed and maneuvered dangerously close to a U.S. Navy vessel in international waters.
White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said Monday the United States will continue to operate in those international waters. And he says the Chinese must observe international law. Gibbs says the U.S. has protested the action.
Defense officials in the administration said the incident Sunday followed several days of "increasingly aggressive" acts by Chinese ships in the region.
I knew i should of ignored those comments. Some people will never change their minds. It just makes me mad when anons say stupid things about others. Sorry.
I'm tired of the relentles persecution of the same 4 people you seem to be after. You're like a dog with a bone.
I'm tired of the relentless persecution of more than 4 people. Damn shame you only see and express concern for those 4. How about some compassion for Amy, for OPJ, black names and anons? That's right. They deserved what they got
didn't they some other anonymous.
when have they been persecuted lately?

No they did not. Just like you talked about the porchies, they have anons that say stupid things to them too. I do not think it is right for anyone to come here and comment and a moment later a anon will pop up with something mean to say.
How do you feel when bloggers say stupid things about other bloggers 3:27? Or write poems for the purpose of mocking them. Then that poem is displayed proudly in a frame on the wall. Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy does it? I think it stinks from there to here
and people are tired of the stench.
How do you feel when bloggers say stupid things about other bloggers 3:27?
I think that is between them and not anons to keep bring it up over and over.
When have they been persecuted lately? I'm not sure, but maybe you could direct me to something recent?
Kapu, Smoke, SDock, and Fimble are constantly harrassed - and they're hardly here anymore.
Nobody deserves to get anything bad.
But hey, if that's how you want to perceive this electronic world, knock your sock off.
I also think things wouldn't be so bad, if anons wouldn't keep bringing things up and putting words in other's mouths.
Frankly, I don't see anybody being "persecuted". I've never had. I've seen a lot of hypocrisy and double standards. No "persecution". Unless you want to continue to think or yourself or a group of people as the perpetual victims. Amy sure hell doesn't consider herself a victim. She's proven that time and again. Mya didn't either. Or MJ. More respect to them. They are truly strong women. Even though they never claimed to be feminists. Their actions speak much louder than words ever could.
Kapu, Smoke, SDock, and Fimble are constantly harrassed - and they're hardly here anymore
It's because they are friends. It's okay for other's to have friends,just not them.
3:44 does like thinking they can read minds and believing they know it all.

Well that doesn't soud very nice, does it?
I do not consider myself a victim. Not in my life and certainly not on a blog.
I consider persecution as those having their personal information spilled out onto the net by others. On purpose and having a malicious intent.
I consider persecution being called horrid names for no reason time and time again.
None of those things have happend to me yet I've seen it occur here quite a few times.
I wish you sunshine on your path and storms to season your journey. I wish you peace in the world in which you live... More I cannot wish you except perhaps love to make all the rest worthwhile.

Tell me why you have a problem with smoke and Sdock if it is not because they are friends with kapunua?
When did the porchies have the word "cunt" on their page.
Ummm HYPOCRITICAL MUCH.
It appears the latest step in the plan has been put into action. I have to say it does not surprise me.
The only purpose is to perpetuate the notion of martyrs.
While everyone is entitled to free speech I would hope honest among you would not engage with those who have an unpleasant agenda.
Blimey, I go away to check out boots on ebay (lookin for some biker boots in my price range which is virtually nothing, no luck) and it's arguing again.
