Seventeen years had passed since their admission, supine, hands clasped. The moment paused and rewound so many times it has begun to slip and slur. Yet it remains solid, holding down everything from that time, forward. It is the ground to which any path may be traced.
It is far from nothing.
They were alone, their easy banter quickly escalating to hysteria. It was cast. He pressed his words between their laughter, hoping that the weight of their meaning may be buoyed by the mirth of the spell. As he had hoped, they had caught her off guard. And, she swallowed her response, continuing to laugh as if what he said was part of the folly.
It is easier to disbelieve.
Then he turned to her and she found the truth in his eyes. He wanted to take it back; he did take it back. While she held her breath and hoped that she could find her words, and that they wouldn’t sound ridiculous in the wake of her stay, he had let his words disintegrate.
The moment was gone.
In an instant, fear can consume you. It can make you refrain from disclosure, from the truth. You may hold your tongue or reel in its wag. Once it is fixed, fear can thrive in you for years, feeding off of regret, recycling into a fierce energy…anger.
It can destroy.
Or you may gain experience, chalk it up to another missed cue. You can allow yourself to forgive, provide another the opportunity to atone. Understand that when acknowledged, fear can guide you. You can turn it around and fear can provide additional strength to push you beyond previous expectations, to rise above limitations.
What has become of them?
Over 2500 miles travelled between the lines, their lives. They both stand as a movable marker for a moment, a slide rule for a decision. They are not broken, but both are damaged. Each has a life filled with family, friends, knowledge, achievements, and failed attempts. Of course, there is a portion of their lives of which the other is aware, a fraction that they speculate. But, neither knows that the other will occasionally recall that moment, reflecting on, but never regretting, its purpose.
p.s. nemo.

No one has any right to attack Pedicone. He has apologized. He sounds miserable. And the band isn't pressing charges. Fans are not privy to the entire situation. And fans behaving poorly and going on a rampage towards him only makes the BAND look bad. They don't need any more reason to get in trouble with their label right now. Mourn the situation for all parties and move on. With dignity.

Who's attacking Pedicone? What's happened?
I'm listening to the pony. ^^ She's got the stuff.
Or, she's a really big fan of MCHammer.
Either way, I like the clicky. (Well MCHammer is pretty cool too. But, you know -not really the point.)
Good night! :)

Good Morning
Sad to hear about MCR's latest problems. Just hope for everyone's sake they move on quickly. And I'm not just saying that because my show is coming up soon here in Kansas. Well yeah, I would be lying if I said that didn't have anything to do with my feelings. I'm really looking forward to the show. So is Glock and Stormy. This will be the second show that I attend with them. I'm sure it will still be great.
Another thing I'm looking forward to is a break in the weather. Yesterday the temp was right at 100 but cool temps are on the way. (hope hope) In a few days night time temps are supposed to dip into the 40's. That sounds damn good.
Hope everyone here is well. Especially those dealing with hurricane aftermath and now a tropical storm.
Stay safe.
The problem with Pedicone
Good luck with the weather and the concert, Elena. And to anyone else affected by Irene and the other storms coming, and those looking forward to something that should be exciting, like a concert.
Absolute truth, 5:08.
Very pretty, Smile anon.
Hopefully this day will better for everyone. :-)
good morning!
Hope the upheaval doesn't affect the concert tour Elena, or the weather. I'm sure it'll be great.
Take care everyone in the path of the new storm over there
The world is going to hell and the powers that be are more concerned about how people wear their pants than they are about fixing real problems.

Good Morning
Thanks Anon and Ergo - I'm sure the concert will be great. I saw this morning that the band has a new drummer in place. And besides I've never been to a MCR concert where I didn't have a great time. And heck, this one is almost in my backyard. As much as I love road trips it will be nice not to travel for this one. Not sure my poor car could make a long trip. She seems to be on her last leg (or wheel) LOL
Today is sunny and the temp is perfect. I love this kind of weather. Think later on we are going to take a bike ride. That will be nice before the work around here starts. Our plan is to paint the house tomorrow and Tue and Wed. I love having a large farm house until painting time comes. That is the not fun part of it. Oh well, gotta be done.
Hope everyone has a lovely weekend. Take care.
Hope everyone had a day filled with laughter. If not, I'll get me tickling stick out! Whey hey Missus:)

Bugger! what's wrong with blogger. That's the second time my comments been duplicated.
Sorry Mr Mayonaise for the mess in your house:(
Whoa Possum! That was amayyyyzing! Reminds me of the Wales Haka response at the Millennium stadium in 2008. Chills mun, chills! I’m still not sure whether they were being disrespectful to the All Blacks’ heritage or whether they were meant to stand up to the challenge. Captain Ryan Jones said, We wanted to show it was our stadium, our pitch and our fans and we weren’t prepared to give up the ground.
Stand your ground boys. Stand your bloody ground!
I’m usually very quietly spoken. People are always complaining that I’m whispering, but that’s just my voice. Can’t help it. But gawd help me I turn into a raving lunatic when I watch rugby. Screaming and shouting at the ref and our boys. Hey that’s what rugby does to you innit:)
Wales vs South Africa? Pfft! Bring it on mun. hahaha.
Two of my mates are in New Zealand as we speak. They’ve got tickets for the South Africa/Wales and Wales/Samoa matches. Lucky bastards! Look out for the Welsh flag:)
OGGY! OGGY! OGGY!
Possum? You ok? Is that blogger deleting your comments or you?
I hate blogger this morning. I had a whole essay typed out for you and the bastard scoffed it! Had to start again:(
Possum?:(
Gah! I don't like this. I have a feeling it's my fault for your deletions. If I've done anything to hurt you, I'm so sorry.
I can't stand the fact that I've hurt your feelings Possum.
I do hope New Zealand win the Rugby World Cup. That would be awesome for your country.
It's time for me to leave blogbelieve for good before I do any more harm.
Take care everyone and goodbye.
No, Welshie. There's absolutely nothing to apologise for. It was just me not liking seeing my name so much. It was nothing to do with you, sweetie. =)
I’m still not sure whether they were being disrespectful to the All Blacks’ heritage or whether they were meant to stand up to the
lol, lots of people were surprised then said 'good on you, Welsh'.
They’ve got tickets for the South Africa/Wales and Wales/Samoa matches. Lucky bastards! Look out for the Welsh flag:)
I will, indeed. I'm going to Wales/Samoa with my brother. It's odd seeing Warren Gatland so much. Many years ago he used to be our local hooker. There should be a lot of local support for your team. =)
Welshie!!!!!
Don't go!!!
Bugger bugger bugger >_<
*waiting*
*chews nails*
Welshieeeeeeeeee!!!! =(
Welshie, please come back. I would have been typing my comment to you exactly the same time as you would have been posting your 6:11. Damn my slowness. >_<
I'm going to check again in the morning, okay? =(
*checking just 1 more time*
*wipes away tears*
You still wuv me Possum?
I'd never knowingly hurt you or anyone else.
Sweet dreams my beautiful Possum.
♥
check again Possum! check again!
Possummmmmm! I'm here!
hey PP , hey welshie
Oh what a misunderstanding!
I saw your comments PP before I started tutoring, then after I looked in again after dinner they were gone!
Then welshie was confuzzled.
Then you were confuzzled!!
Hope you're both well
Hope the coyotes calmed down for you elena, we've had dingoes a few nights ago here, they sound all eerie and cool....for a few minutes, then it's just annoying! lol
Welshieeeee! I checked!!
OMG Yay!!! *HUGS* I just couldn't go to bed! I had to keep checking.
You still wuv me Possum
Of course I do, you sweet little thing! You didn't do anything! I'm so, so pleased to see you. =)
Of course there is now the issue of seeing my name multiple times, which caused all this misunderstanding in the first place, for which I'm very, very sorry all the distress it caused, Welshie.
And this time, this lot is un-bleepable deleletable haha!
I think I shall be able to sleep a lot better now. I'm so, so happy you're still here, and that we'll all be able to still see you around. =)
Goodnight everyone. =)))
Wah!
Ergo, I'm having a nervous breakdown!
Confuzzled is an understatement.
See. That's how ridiculously slow I am. When I started typing Ergo wasn't there lol.
Goodnight everyone. =)
Or Welshie just then lol.
*hugs and runs*
*but is not the hugs and runs anon*
POSSUM!! *huge squashy hugs*
Goodnight and sweet dreams ♥
OH! SHIT! Mayo's gonna kill me. I know it. He's hiring a hitman as we speak. One request if I may sir, can you call off the hitman 'til after the Rugby World Cup? Please? Pretty please?
Fank you kindly:)
good to see the two of you got it together again :]
sweet dreams PP
I'm off to bed as well
have a good unconfuzzling day Welshie
The doctor took his patient into the room and said,
"I have some good news and some bad news."

They shot that bunny! Ò_Ó
Cat Shit One
That's all kinds of wtf, 3:59. Fascinating, distrubing, and yet the war mongering bunnies are still a bit cute. Is it an American show? I'm sure it says much good about us!
Miss Pinkie Pie? You might want to warn epileptics about that footage of you, just sayin!
I hope everyone is having a nice day today. :)
Haha, there should have been a "not" in the last sentence regarding the Bunny show...
Three surgeons are discussing who makes the best patients to operate on.
*The first surgeon said, "Electricians are the best; everything inside is color coded."
*The second surgeon says, "No, I think librarians are; everything inside them is in alphabetical order."
*The third surgeon said: "You're all wrong. Politicians are the easiest to operate on. There's no guts, no heart, no balls, no brains, and no spine. Plus, the head and the ass are interchangeable....
Cat shit one is Japanese.
LOL! Best one yet! ☝
Truth is funnier than fiction. :))
That was for 9:44 not 12:44.
12:44 is right about Cat Shit One aka Apocalypse Meow.

It makes a bit more sense now, 12:44.
Thank you for the info link, 12:46. I've recently started reading mangas, and the humor and alternating pace do take some getting used too. But they are interesting (and fun) once you get the hang of them. And the differences do make them all the more interesting. I like the art, just not sure I like the overall theme to that one, haha.
Thank you for the heads up there, Pinkie Pie, ha. I'm sure it's appreciated by those who would be affected...
I hope everyone had a nice evening.
Who goes platinum with 1 week of sales? Tha Carter IV and Weezy.
Take that Jay-Z.
Young mula, baby! ;)
Last week, the initial sales projections kept rising up from 800,000 all the way to 975,000, and before anyone knew it– the Young Money head honcho had already broken Kanye and Jay-Z’s iTunes sales record with more than 300,000 in album sales.

4:27am, funnily enough my teeth hurt after watching him singing O_O.
If you like rap/ hip-hop Have you heard of Drunken Tiger - Monster. I'm loving this one lately. Turn it up loud. Very cinematic, too. =)
Welshie,
Talk yesterday turned to possible RWC winners, as it is lately. I contributed South Africa and Oz, saying NZ has no way of making it to there, and that Samoa has a real chance as a semi-finalist. Lovely guy next to me looked hurt. Turns out he has 2 mates in the All Blacks. My mouth definitely wasn't big enough for my foot this time lol. Have to see him again today too, oh no! =)
Have a great evening everyone. =)

Possum I owe you an apology for completely over reacting the other day. I have no excuses for the drama I caused. I wasn’t having a bad day. I wasn’t sick. I wasn’t drunk. I was however convinced that I’d upset you in some way. I was absolutely gutted. Thanks again for clearing up the confusion.
Anyway back to rugby.
Aww Possum, how embarrassing for you. Poor guy, his hopes were dashed before the competition’s even started! All I can say to you Possum is, Welcome to the Foot IN Mouth Club. *extends hand to PP*.
Mayo, again, sorry mate:/
I should say it won’t happen again, but knowing me it probably will :D
* takes Welshie's hand and pulls in to a hug*
Sweetie, please, you really have nothing to apologise for. If you remember I even deleted my message to the creative
ӉЄしし◎ anon (BTW, sorry anon!). I started all that kerfuffle with my 'I don't like people looking at me' deleting, so it all starts and ends with me. Okay? =)
Er, yeah, and M, if still around (and if you can understand very-large-foot-in-mouth language) sorry for being a deleting idiot and upsetting one of your sweet posters.
I should say it won’t happen again, but knowing me it probably will :D
Oh man, sorry, M, but ditto for me on this, also. Maybe it's due to our living with sheep? =)

Hope everyone has a great day.
Have a fantastic time! Please give us a review when you get back!

Hello (Hello). :) How do you make all those crazy pictures?
Can't wait to hear how the concert has gone!
I hope everyone has a lovely night.
Wow! The concert was...(searching for the right word)...hell I give up, guess I have to go with perfect.
But it almost wasn't. See when I bought tickets for the show I purchased seats. My thought was because I've been "lost" in the pit before I thought that seats would be best. I wouldn't have to stress about trying to get there early to get near the stage, and I'd be able to see. (I'm damn short). So I got seats. And while I did have a great view of the stage...damn the people in the seats actually sat. MCR came on stage and naturally I jumped up but the people behind me didn't. There they were, just sitting. So I didn't want to block their view and I sat back down. Kinda figured I'd just have to deal. But Stormy, bless her heart, grabbed my hand after the third song and said, "Come on mama, you're not happy here." She and Glock snuck me down the side and into the pit...I was home. Suddenly I realized it didn't matter if I could see the band, I needed to be part of the music. I needed to dance and jump and sing. It was wonderful. It was exactly what I needed. And then when they played "Welcome to The Black Parade"...well hell, I was overcome with emotion. I remembered my first MCR concert in Topeka. The one that Stormy and I attended. And I realized that five years later I was lucky enough to be at a concert, in the pit, with her again. Damn that made me happy. It was a great night that left we with some wonderful memories. I'm a very happy woman.
Goodnight everyone.
Sounds perfect! Thanks for sharing, Elena! Goodnight!
WHAT.....!?
Pinkie, Spike is with Twilight. She should do the explaining. Or Rarity.

Wave your hands in the air like you don't care.

How do you make all those crazy pictures?
Shhh. Ancient Chinese secret!

(Ok, I won't tell!) Goodnight, everyone. :)
Dashie,
Twilight's still not talking to Spike because he ate the rug and nearly burnt down the house when he coughed up those fireballs. And we both know what a prude Rarity is. It has to be one of us. That means it's YOU. You're the one who started this.
Just dive in head first!
Okie dokie.

Not liking the smell of this.
Bye bye Mike Rittberg, Steve McDonald, Lynn McDonnell and on. :/
Warner really would be American Idiots if they drop Green Day.
“Necessary changes to build a promotion team for the future, while staying true to our core mission of investing in A&R, required us to say goodbye to some outstanding employees.” But the somber note had a bright spot: “Reprise will remain a separate label with its distinct A&R point of view,” it continued. “In addition, we have expanded the radio promotion team at ILG (Independent Label Group), which will focus on earlier stage developing artists and more indie-oriented releases. This will enable us to stay nimble, and keep delivering winning results for our artists and their music."
Yup, yup, yup.
“We're always on the hunt for something that's just a different version of rock,” he said. “We’re ready for it. It’s got to happen and we’re excited for when it does.”
Yup!
good morning!
Elena sounds like a great time, glad it was :]
We had a 60th last night which was lovely,great too since my hubby was back Friday from a 15day outback camping/hunting/sightseeing trip with his brother :]
ƪ(ˆ◡ˆ)ʃ
Let's play guess what terrible movie Elena is watching........
It was the dark of the moon on the sixth of June.
Convoy!!!
I just had that song on the shuffle the computer is playing :]
I'm about to put the hammer down!
Ding ding ding...
You win Ergo
Totally in a bad 70's frame of mind.
Now want to find original "Walking Tall" movies
I will remember.
I will volunteer.
What will you do today?
10 years.
I watched Moby Dick Friday night, the 2010 version with Barry Bostwick.
"Based on the book"
pretty much the only similarity was it had a whale and a guy called Ahab missing a foot chasing it.
Wasn't even really bad enough to be a good bad movie, but the bit where the whale jumps out of the ocean and grabs the helicopter was cool. lol
Morning everyone:)
Elena, Ergo, I don't watch movies so I haven't a clue what you're on about.
Congrats on your team's win Possum. Hats off to them, they played well.
Countdown has begun for Wales' first game. It's gonna be a tough game.
Must go. Meeting mates for breakfast in the pub.
Ta ra:)
Hi welshie, you may not have seen the movie but haven't you ever heard the song Convoy?
You should have a look for it if you haven't it's a 70
s classic.
Our sci fi channel is having a Mockbuster series, of bad movies every Friday night, low budget, dubious acting, not-very-special effects lol
I love them!
hope you've had a nice weekend
Hello everybody. =)
7:36,
I think the're being a little bit too reactive with their firing. Good Rock will survive. But they're definitely following download trends and the money. Did you notice how quickly the Foos released singles off their new album? Even they're not immune.
but the bit where the whale jumps out of the ocean and grabs the helicopter was cool. lol
Haha, Ergo!
The Wallabies got some good points on the board today. Italians gave them a 1st half scare though.
I'm glad you had a great time at the concert, Elena, and that you had some mosh time. How did the new drummer stack up?
Thanks, Welshie. Ma'a Nonu, Sonny Bill Williams and Richard Kahui had especially good games, but it will be interesting to see what they're like in a tougher game like Argentina/England's last night.
As for your game tonight - very exciting to watch! Your 2nd penalty in the 1st half was definitely in. Cross eyed linesmen cost your team the game, unfortunately. I bet Samoa's eyebrows elevated a few inches tonight. =)
BTW what on earth are you feeding your backs. I swear they're bigger than the forwards lol!
OMG I'm turning back into a rugby freak again. =)
See you later. =)
P.S. BTW did anyone get into early Pottermore beta testing?
...and they were not forgotten

Hey PP, I haven't caught any rugby this season, I'll have to rely on your reports :]

Lil Wayne has become one of only a handful of solo musicians to place 11 singles on the Hot 100 chart simultaneously. While his new album ‘Tha Carter IV‘ fell shy of the projected 1 million sales mark predicted by experts prior to its release, Weezy has managed to pull the rug out from the previously reigning ‘Watch The Throne’ achieving a rare dominance on both Billboard album and singles charts.
No artist to date has managed to take down the record of 14 singles which was set by the Beatles on April 11th, who also top some of the chart’s other record lists with the most #1 albums and the most weeks spent at #1. Lil Wayne follows close behind in a dead heat with Taylor Swift and David Cook becoming the third solo artist to match the record
The runner up to ‘Tha Carter IV‘ is the Red Hot Chilli Peppers ‘I’m With You’ which trails Weezy’s new album by nearly 700, 000 sales.

We lost by one point. Gutted :-(
I had to chuckle though cos on the way home from the pub I was stopped by a Welsh speaking South African born Jehovah Witness who wanted to know the score.
He was a really nice bloke so for his own safety I kindly suggested that he didn't mention the South African part again until the rest of the villagers had time to lick their wounds. He agreed. hahaha.
Ergo, Convoy. Did it have anything to do with a rubber duck cos I sort of remember that?
Elena, glad you enjoyed your concert. I miss people's account of their concert experiences. I've never seen MCR live. None of my friends like them, well except for my Auntie Doris and she's nearly 82!
Buying a car? Praiiiise the Lord Hallelujah!
good morning!
Welshie that would be the one, rubber duck was on of the truckers call names.

What simpleton and what racial slurs?
Must be talkin 'bout Snooki. ;)
Wrong blog again, 6:22?
Nope
I concur, wtf 6:22.
simpleton. A person who is felt to be deficient in judgment, good sense, or intelligence; a fool
There are other things to partake in, on the internet. Games to play, videos to watch, entire books to be read! Other than trying to start crap, yet again.
I'm sure you'd enjoy some of those other options more, 7:48. :/
What simpleton has made racial slurs on this blog, 6:22? There have been little more than a handful of people posting comments.
Who is this she? The racist simpleton? Ergoproxy, Welshie, Elena, Possum, the ponies, the artistically inclined?
Where are her racist comments? All the racist comments she posted on this blog that forced you to come here this morning to say enough and call her a simpleton.
If you're talking about something that's happened away from this blog why even mention it here? Go to her blog or website and talk to her about it there otherwise all you're going to do is make the readers of this blog go WTF are you talking about?.
7:54,
It looks like they might have found a good online dictionary to read. :)

2?
first...
Mayo! What have you done?
I can't see comment 4662.
I can't see comment 4661!
There. That's better.
This is for true.
I fixed it for me.
I fixed it for you! ;)
It pleases me to know I'm not the only one who can't tolerate her. I have yet to read a comment of hers that makes sense.
You all know it's true ;P
OK, I'll bite.
Who is "she"/"her", 3:00? The least you could do is name the person, if you're going to go around accusing her.
Spill or shut up.
Excuse me, I really don't want to add to the total and complete randomness of today; but (taking into consideration the complete randomness of a few comments this a.m.) ... when opportunity knocks, I will happily ANSWER!
Who's UP for "the real thing" now? ("Good God. That's the REAL THING!" < quote from Conan O' Brien *complete with bow)
Oh, where the hell have you been Conan? OF COURSE that's THE REAL THING! Shorty's been playing that trombone since he was six years old and needed help holding it up!
:P
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the one and only TROMBONE SHORTY and ORLEANS AVE!!!!!!
~~Do To Me LIVE on Conan~~
They had their cd release party at Tipitina's last night and I missed it due to a prior (and much less fun and fullfilling) engagement. Woe is me! I needs a HUG!
:P
But, it's all good. I'll see them LIVE and IN PERSON next month! YAY!!!! I, also, get to see the amazing Mr. Patrick Stump again (with PATD). I'm so happy about that!
~~ Patrick Stump "This City" LIVE at the Parish/HOB NOLA~~
~~Bad Side of 25 and band intros!~~
The only "bad side" of 25 is the under side ! It only gets better and better from there, folks. I promise you! It gets better!
:)
Ohhhh, and VOODOO is also next month! Halloween weekend, of course. I LOVE VOODOO FEST!!!!!
*looks at calendar*
*shakes head*
Well, I'm just going to be sick/have this bronchial thing until 2012. There simply is not enough down time to get over it. I can accept that. Hell, I can even appreciate that!
I hope you all have something to appreciate today! And, the wisdom to appreciate it!
Have a great day/week/remainder of the month, everyone! Stay safe out there!
Hugs and Love,
~Namaste~

PS for 3:27:
Speaking of "biting", I'll be enjoying some 'bones' this weekend at Tip's! I'll think of you whilst gnawing on them.
;)
~~Bonerama "Hard Times" LIVE at Jazz Fest 2011!!~~
~~Bonerama "Close the Door" part II LIVE from Jazz Fest 2011~~
I <3 those "bones"!
PPS: Random Trivia Time!
A big virtual hug and huge brass band points to anyone who can name what other band Mark Mullins and Craig Klein (of Bonerama) played in up until 2006!
Hint: The band 'leader' is also an actor.
Hint 2: Yes, he's from NOLA!
Spill or shut up.
She can't spill. She would have to admit that she made a mistake and posted at the wrong blog. She'll never do that.
Shut up? Wishful thinking. All's we can hope for is that the true simpleton remembers to close her itsmayonaise window before posting comments in the future or we could make a collective blog wish that Mayo blocks her sorry, name calling, accusatory ass.
I don't think either will happen. She's too obsessed with this blog and the lovelies to leave it alone and the blog owner has never blocked anyone to my knowledge. Regardless of what a shit stirring, simple, self serving, self important ass they were.
The few lovelies who remain or visit are the ones who either accept the way Mayo runs his own blog or just don't care anymore.
The bullshits and giggles I get from people like 6:22 are what keeps me reading. That and the ponies.
MyLittlePony FiM > Beavis and Butthead or Transformers
especially with men. There's some sick full grown male puppies out there. They can't resist that tail. ;)
I have a question and I would be really really appreciative if someone can please answer it, it's been on my mind for quite the while now.
Back in the day someone had written something along the lines of "Just because you're listening doesnt mean you hear me, just because you look at me doesnt mean you see me, please make it count"? Does anyone else remember this from back in the day?
If anyone has the full quote saved and can remember who it was that wrote that please post it here, it's driving me crazy! Please, thank you.
You can even post anonymously if you don't want to be seen, just please I really need that full quote. Someone, please?
Can't we all just leave each other alone? Agree to hate each other, and just leave each side to their own? What does this constant fighting, attacking, trapping or framing each other achieve? Nobody wins with this kind of thing. And doesn't anyone else find it exhausting?
Let's just ignore, and play nice. Ponies, arty anons, song clickies leavers and the remaining regs, hello and I hope your eve is going well! That sounds like an intense quote, Anon911. I hope someone finds it for you and shares it here. Good evening to everyone! :)
good afternoon! (missed morning by a few minutes) lol
hi wendy
can't help sorry anon
I remember a few quotes being posted about hearing but not listening Anon911. I'm not sure which one you're trying to find. I don't remember the make it count one.
The first one I thought of when I read your comment was People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
That's Simon & Garfunkel.

Hello little square boxes anon:) You still about?
That was me, Welshieeee.
Blogger ate my name! I've had so many issues with blogger lately. Bastard!
Quote from Jared Followill's twitter.
Finally found out where Followills came from. It was originally Followell and we came to Virginia from Wales in the 1700's. I'm Welsh. Cool.
Jeeze. Tell you I'm Welsh & everyone calls me a 'sheep shagger'. Guess that explains why I count sheep at night & wake up with a boner.
Bwahahaha.
Guess no one's about. I'll pop in later.
Toodle-pip.
Hello little square boxes anon:)
It's a hot cup'o joe.
Haha, eww Mr. Followill -too much information! (Poor defenseless sheep!)
Hello and goodbye, Welshie! Nice art by the by!
I remember the quote Anon911 is asking for, I'm sure I probably wrote it down as well. But it's packed away with quite a bit of other notebooks. And I can't recall the quote word for word, off the top of my head. I really can't help. :( Sorry, Anon911. But at least you're not imagining things. :) Maybe you can google it? Even if it was an anon comment here, it may show up in a search. Good luck.
youngfollowill
Fun night and street fights with @BAM__Margera. Everything I expected and more. Bruises all around.
Who thinks sheep shagging was involved?
Sorry 7:09, all I see is little square boxes! Ergo has explained it to me in the past but I can't for the life of me remember what she said now. Bloody hell I'm losing me marbles:(
Anon911 I do remember that comment but where the hell to start looking for it I can't tell you. Sorry.
Haha, eww Mr. Followill -too much information! (Poor defenseless sheep!)
Poor defenseless sheep my arse! I chased a few of the evil bastards out of my garden at 6 am this morning. They'd eaten my pansies and crapped all over my driveway. Norris my garden gnome was damaged but I think he can be fixed with some superglue and a bit of sellotape.
★ƪ(ˆ◡ˆ)ʃ ★
Troubled waters.

Welshie, you always bring a smile to my face.
May I wish Norris a speedy recovery.
All I feel now is the weight of the day
I need you with me to push it away
When we disappear into each other
Our colors appear and bleed into one
Fade into me, fade into you
The two of us melting together
Until we become something new
And we can escape
And watch the world chasing to find us
Both of us hidden from view,
If you
fade into me
Fade into me
When I'm broken you're the one thing I need
Like an ocean, I feel you crash over me
We disappear into each other
Our colors appear and bleed into one
Fade into me, fade into you
The two of us melting together
Until we become something new
And we can escape
And watch the world chasing to find us
Both of us hidden from view,
If you
fade into me
Let go, fall in
And drown in the moment with me
Sinking 'til we start to breathe
Fade into me, fade into you
The two of us melting together
Until we become something new
And we can escape
And watch the world chasing to find us,
oh if you
Fade into me
A 6 hour song? One song that goes on for 6 hours?
you spin this little disc, and it has these little animations on it that kind of come to life when you put this strobe light on it. And you could play with it for hours. I mean, I don’t know if you could play with it for six hours, but it's kind of meant so that kids can like, take LSD and play with it. You know, that’s kind of our intention, so that people buy it at like a festival, and then go back to their parents' and take some acid and play with it all night.
It’s not intended for intense listening. It’s intended to be, while you’re fucking your girlfriend, this on in the background. I mean, you’re supposed to be doing something cool while this plays.
Makes sense now!
good morning!
Hope your gnome recovers Welshie! Sheep are cute but such limited brainpower lol
"Sheep shagger" gets tossed between NZ and Oz too lol
Vodka and ice will ruin your kidneys. Rum and ice will ruin your liver. Whiskey and ice will ruin your heart. Gin and ice will ruin your brain. Coke and ice will ruin your teeth. Apparently ice is lethal!!! Warn all your friends: Lay off the ice!!
"hey y'all, watch this!"
I would not be surprised, 9:36. ewww.
The world most definitely needs Norris to be well again, Welshie! So few Gnomes left in the world now. :( Please keep us posted on his progress! I'm sorry for the fate of your pansies and your, um, driveway.. icky, poo. Do sheep bite? They look like they bite. But hopefully they don't do that totally nasty thing that goats do, with the whole drinking their own wee thing. Blurg!
I suggest we all just chuck this country and leave if the Republican's get it, 12:51! Won't be much left of it if they win anyway.
That's a lovely poem (or lyrics), No M.S.G. Reminds me of a Mazzy Star song, that is much more depressing than lovely!
Ergo, don't you guys have "Sheila's" too? They don't have anything to do with sheep, though. Right?
Everyone's been silly today. What a fantastic day! Goofnight, everyone! :)
If any of the regs speak to PP, could you please leave a comment here? Among other places, there has been an earthquake near/in New Zealand within this last hour. Please let us know she is alright, if you hear from her. Thank you. :(
Hey anon, as far as we are getting on the news there is no damage or concern about the quake, it was off the coast of the North Is and no tsunami warnings are out.
We do have sheilas but they are nothing to do with sheep, that's just another word for woman.
just chuck this country and leave if the Republicans get it
There's not much left now. That's why the Republicans are getting it back with the vote and endorsements of Democrats. 70 to 74% of Americans believe the country is on the wrong track. That's plenty of Democrats voting like former NYC mayor Ed Koch voted. Against Obama.
NY-9 is a voting district where Democrats outnumber Republicans 3 to 1. They just elected their first Republican representative in 90 years.
It's not just the economy stupid this time. It's the economy, job outlook, taxes unfavorable to creating new jobs, voters who feel betrayed, and Israel.
Why is Israel such a huge factor? Because the Jewish community and other pro Israel groups feel lied to and betrayed.
Koch calls Obama’s attitude toward Israel “blatantly hostile.” Koch also clearly believes that Obama has broken with the supportive stance toward Israel shown by every previous president. Koch ends by saying: “Supporters of Israel who gave their votes to candidate Obama–78 percent of the Jewish community did–believing he would provide the same support as John McCain, this is the time to speak out and tell the President of your disappointment in him.”
Good morning/evening, everybody.
Goats drink wee,
And goats climb trees =)
5:45am,
We're all good here, thanks. It was offshore, deep down in the trench fortunately. Thank you for your concern. xox =)
lol Welshie,
Perhaps, once Norris has recuperated, he might like to have a friend stay over, to help deal with those sheep.
Hope you all have a great day. =)
lol cheers Ergo. I was typing and watching a sports programme at the same time lol.
*crappy multi-tasker* =)
good to see you PP! Glad there wasn't any damage anywhere :]
Good to see you're safe PP.

Fluck!
Fluck. Fluck fluck fluck fluck fluck!
That's a lovely poem (or lyrics), No M.S.G.
They're lyrics from the song Fade Into Me.
Best song on David Cook's This Loud Morning album. It hasn't done as well as David's debut album after winning American Idol season 7, but I think that it's a superior album.
No offense to Rob Cavallo who produced David Cook's David Cook. That one was very good. This one is better IMO.
♥ it!
4:45, Your comment made me giggle. There’s nothing I like more than a bit of silliness and ‘aving a larf.
PP glad you’re ok. Bloody hell he's a big ‘un!
Norris update. He’s recovering and is as well as can be expected. He thanks you all for your concern:)
PP! So glad to see you, safe and snarky! ;) I'm glad everyone and the countries in general are all safe. If only all earthquakes were as harmless. Thank you too, Ergo, for your comment about PP. I appreciate it.
Goats in a tree? I know they bite. Just lost one more place to flee too when they come a bitin! That is some disturbing sh*t, PP. And I'm wondering if your Gnome girl/boy friend for Norris is still politically correct in refering to his/her self as a, uh, (REALLY GIANT) Gnome? And we wouldn't want further injury to poor Norris! O_O
6:53/6:59, that is some very disheartening reads. I had no idea I was so ignorant of the other choices Obama has been making. The situation is much worse than I feared it to be. I really have no idea what to say to that info, anon. But thank you for posting it here. I think it's better for those still able to do something (even just, vote) to be informed of what is really going on, so we can at least not be surprised when worse comes. I still won't put my vote in a Rep, but maybe there is a real Dem out there who will do something better for the U.S. than our current president is doing, and the other candidates are vowing. Fingers crossed, anyway. Thanks.
8:04, are those dancing marshmellow men cousins to Pacman? I'm just wondering!
Thanks for linking the song, 8:36/8:47! It's just beautiful! Guy has a lovely voice! And the lyrics stand out even more hearing them like that. Very soulful and moving.
Pleased to have made you larf, Miss Welshie! Just trying to return the favor! ;) Very warmed heart to hear the gentleman Gnome Norris is still with us! I'll just cancel that singing pressie I had ordered for him then...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zj6Vg5Mirg4
Good day, all! :)
er, that was long. Oopsy. :/
Welshie: I'm so, so sorry to hear of poor wittle Norris' most unfortunate, by way of sheep, garden accident. As the curator of several garden gnomes (roaming, solar powered and plain old boring regular), I feel your garden gnome pain. Please tell him that my garden Angels are praying for him. As are my Saint Francis bird baths and feeders.
:)
Possum: My fellow nocturn! I'm so happy to hear that you (and yours) were not adversely affected by the most recent quake that decided to shake up NZ!
I must say that I AM getting quite concerned about Mya though. I tried to get in touch with her after Hurricane Irene (in FULL ACTUAL HURRICANE STRENGTH) crashed into NC; but, I have heard nothing. I hope she's okay!
Elena: Again, I'm so glad you enjoyed yourself at your latest MCR concert experience and I'm even happier to learn that you and your lovely daughter were able to enjoy another (and create more) cherished event/memories.
Ergo: HI, to you, back!
Those in know: When the heck does the new season of AI start? I loves me some American Idol!!!! Hell yes, I do!
And, a big HELLO to MAYO and anyone else who may stumble in to the old "blog of believe" (credit to my Sweetcheeks, BC)!
Have a great day, everyone!!!! Stay safe out there!
Hugs and Love,
~Namaste~

PS: I do, indeed and infact, agree that "Fade Into Me" is the best song on David Cook's new album.
PPS: My favorite song from David Cook's first post AI victor debut album is:
~~AVALANCHE~~
Hmmm... what a SURPRISE?!
Not really! Since the same "co~writer" was involved in writing both songs.
:)
You like "Fade Into Me" too, 11:27? You really should listen to "Avalanche"! Same soulful voice and same amazing, brilliant, glorious song writers!
You can hear the actual song "Avalanche" better here:
~~Avalanche by David Cook~~
And, the beautiful lyrics of that one can be read, there, too!
*blows kisses and wishes for a great day to all*
Oh hell! I tried. I really DID try to go about my day without having to come back, post the lyrics and sing the rest of that dang song...
I'm sorry. I couldn't do it! I just couldn't!
:P
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Avalanche lyrics
Songwriters: Cook, David; Griffin, Kevin
I feel alive beside you
And all at once I am whole again
We fall into each other
Your atmosphere is all I'm breathing in
And in this rush we are crushed
Carry me down rolling in your arms
'Cause I can't remember ever falling this hard
Tell me tonight all that we have been
Was it nothing more than noise inside my head?
Crashing down, crashing down
In your avalanche, in your avalanche
These scars we wear remind us
The more we change, the more we're all the same
Swept up in this emotion
We've fumbled through and made the same mistakes
'Cause we are led to the edge
Carry me down rolling in your arms
'Cause I can't remember ever falling this hard
[- From :http://www.elyrics.net/read/d/david-cook-lyrics/avalanche-lyrics.html -]
Tell me tonight all that we have been
Was it nothing more than noise inside my head?
Crashing down, crashing down in your avalanche
Crashing down, crashing down
Carry me down rolling in your arms
'Cause I can't remember ever falling this hard
Tell me tonight all that we have been
Was it nothing more than noise inside my head?
Carry me down rolling in your arms
'Cause I can't remember ever falling this hard
Tell me tonight all that we have been
Was it nothing more than noise inside our heads?
Crashing down, crashing down
Was it nothing more than noise inside our heads?
Crashing down, crashing down
I feel alive beside you
And all at once I am whole again
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*sighs happily*
Now, I should be able to (happily) get on with my day!

It's not your fault.
. I really have no idea what to say to that info, anon. But thank you for posting it here. I think it's better for those still able to do something (even just, vote) to be informed of what is really going on, so we can at least not be surprised when worse comes. I still won't put my vote in a Rep,
Why the discrimination against the Republican party? Why the refusal to even try to understand Republican views? Why the bigotry and hatred toward one letter. That's all it is. A letter. A D or an R. I don't get it.
To me, the letter behind the name is irrelevant. It always has been. I don't vote for a party. I vote for a person. A man. A woman. An individual.
The last thing that enters my mind is what party they do or don't belong to.
I'm not a mindless sheep. I can think for myself. I can do my own research. I can see through the empty election promises or outright lies of any politician.
The person who gets my vote is the one who lies the least. The one who says when I'm president or governor I will try to work with congress and others instead of the one who tries to make you think that they are some sort of God who get it all done on their own. That is bullshit. That is a lie.
Those types of politicians will never, ever get my vote because I know that all they're trying sell is humus so full of toxic shit that it will destroy my entire garden.
I'll vote for an open, honest, truth speaking R any day over a snake tongued garden killing D. The last thing I need in my life is more bullshit. Tell me the truth. Tell me how you really feel and you have a chance. Lie to me, you're fucked.
That is how most American voters feel.
Obama made way too many promises he knew he couldn't keep. Either he lied or he's a complete idiot who actually thought that he could control the mood of an entire country.
Liar or God complex? Either choice isn't good for him.
The only question is if the spanking will end in 2011 or if the hardest most brutal spanking is being left for 2012. ? ? ?
Let's break this political party stuff down into terms some people might better understand. Say, music genres.
I'm sure some of you would have a problem if another someone you knew refused to listen to your EMO music just because they had other friends who told them that emo sucked and was nothing but self pitying, whiney bullshit and a waste of time and space.
Some of you might have a problem with that, right?
