There was never more time
than when I was 23,
bold, brash and free.
I called out to any, to all…
you will never make me fall
as I pushed back
up from the pavement.
It is faster now, time.
Being no longer 23,
with a near carbon-copy me
I chase after and hold
for a moment, to keep
her from falling.
She will, I know.
Just as she tumbles head over heels in the grass, a summersault.
She will tumble a life.
Over and over, the days
I can salve and bandage her knee,
treat the sting of a bee,
turn her ear to my voice
singing on or off key.
She will stop crying,
only momentarily
before she will be
pushing off of 23.

Today on my way home from class, I stopped off at the petrol station for some petrol. I paid on my card which wasn’t a lot, and then as I was getting into my car, I saw an old man walking past the building. He had a red and green stripy jumper which was frayed at the ends. He was also wearing some jeans that were dirty and had holes all over.
I sat there and became intrigued by him because I didn’t know what he was doing, so as I sat there and watched him, he continued doing what he set out to do.
He walked past the trash cans and first picked out a cup with some drink still in it (one of the cups that you get from burger king that has coke in it). He then walked over to the next trash can and pulled out the end of a half eaten sandwich. In my shock horror, he ate it and then went to sit on the wall to drink the drink he had found.
I felt sad, I wanted to give him my last $4 that I had but I was told when I was younger that you should never give people money, you should give them something they need or can use because that way, if they had an addiction, they would not be able to use the money for their addiction. So I went into the shop and bought a chicken sandwich from their deli counter and then walked out of the building.
The guy was still sat at the wall drinking his drink so I walked up to him and asked him if he would like this sandwich. He thanked me and said that he was hungry.
I should of felt good after that, doing something for someone else but all I could think of is where his next meal will come from or where in fact he will sleep tonight.

Jennicula,
Thank you for sharing your story. Although it only appeared briefly, I was lucky enough to have caught it.
Once upon a time, for me, that was the best part of this place...having my words related back to me from another's perspective.
And it never mattered to me who said it, just that it meant something to the writer.

Don't let anyone tell you how to live your life. Hold your head up high and be proud of who you are. If you've had a shitty day and you feel like people just don't want you to be happy, and when you find yourself struggling to make it through the day, just keep on believing and keep the faith. Also, from personal experience, don't push people away. When they say they want to help and that they are there for you, let them in. Believe me, I know how fucking scary that thought is, but don't shut others out.

Sometimes, when you look back on stuff in your life, you know, the crap that makes you shake your head and say, "Holy shit, what the Hell was I thinking?" it's part of what makes you - you.
I'm not perfect by any stretch of the imagination. I have made small mistakes and really big, fucking scary mistakes. Would I change those mistakes and blunders?
No. Wanna know why?
Because they make me - me. They help make up the person that I am, what I've learned the hard way. Hopefully I've learned from my mistakes and have become a better person for it. And, hopefully I don't repeat those same mistakes. Although, sometimes I repeat variations of certain ones, but I'm working on that. :)

aloft
Blazing against the sun
like locusts,
samaras swarm the sky
and skitter to an earthly end,
dry
like clever words.
I want to make them fly up,
flip heaven upside down
and dance across the top of hell
and sing your thoughts
to the sound of thunder
that you love so well,
rip open the littered sky
and bathe in the light
or draw across the firmament
the blanket of the night.
In only a day they have
covered the ground,
their brief flight
yielding nothing permanent
on infertile land,
a fleeting moment of swarming glory
that calls to mind our own
short story:
Diamonds and petals,
the loom and the light,
the inkdark moon, foxfire marsh,
an open, waiting hand.
Clever winged seeds
of childhood reminiscent--
and like the idiot grown-up heart,
as stubbornly indehiscent.

Electric Blue
…today I saw a ulysses butterfly it was in our yard and settled to feed on our hibiscus. They really are fantastically beautiful things, the electric blue is amazing, however as they sit with their wings closed they are rather nondescript and dull. Sometimes people are like that, from the outside they seem unappealing but within there hides an amazing beauty for those lucky enough to see it. I hope you appreciate beauty in all things, and look for it perhaps where others miss it.

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL.
I read your post again and suddenly without warning memories of construction paper filled my head. I remembered all the lop-sided flowers my girls made when they were young. Bright blue, yellow and pink flowers that were cut out with blunt end scissors would fill the windows to decorate for Easter. An occasional bunny was attempted but those usually ended up looking like creatures from a horror movie. Flowers were so much easier. I can close my eyes and hear the paper being cut into petals. I can smell the Elmer’s glue squirted on in huge blobs to attach each misshapen petal to form the flowers. We had a huge arts and crafts box full of wonderful items just waiting for their imaginations to turn into something wonderful. In my mind I see my daughters, as they once were, small, blond little girls sitting on the floor surrounded by scraps of paper and other art supplies. They would create their masterpieces then proudly show each other. Oh and Lord the messes that would ensue if the glitter made an appearance. Now, the box is forgotten. I’m not really sure where it even is anymore. The few flowers so lovingly created that survived are faded and dusty and high on a shelf they sit. Time marches on, so many things get left behind.
Today was the first Easter I spent alone. I don’t think it really upset me until I remembered the construction paper flowers. Of course I understand that my daughters are growing up and have lives of their own. But understanding doesn’t make it any easier to accept. I miss my little girls in their frilly Easter dresses. I miss the laughter that filled the house when they found what the Easter Bunny left for them. And I miss making the damn flowers.

Hiya Ergo sweetie, good evening.
Hello MissT!
That trip soudns wonderful, Australia has a lot of historical sites, both colonial and aboriginal but I'd love to be able to see the really ancient sites the British Isles and Europe have,the castles, the Vikings and the ancient Roman & Greek ruins. I watch Time Team sometimes, though that one guy with the accent like a farmer is soooo irritating sometimes! But the things they find, when they don't say after half and hour "well unfortunately we could only did one trench and we have found nothing" are amazing. Saw one with a buried Roman ship in a field the other day.
We are set for Christmas, I think, tree and decorations are all up, haven't decided my Christmas day menu yet, too many yummy choices but it ill likely involve prawns, got a great marinade to use on the BBQ.
Hope you're preps are going well and you have a good weekend too
I'm your ch ch ch ch ch cherry bomb
Stone age love and strange sounds too
Come on baby let me get to you
Bad nights cause'n teenage blues
Get down ladies you've got nothing to lose

We're the queens of noise
come and get it boys
How Dare you take the Cake!

Sharktopus is BRILLIANT!!!! Nothing like a genetic experiment you think is under control that escapes it's megalomaniac creator and kills almost everybody in the movie and it even has it's own song, by the Cheetah Whores
There’s a creep show creature with a double feature....
A freakish beast wants flesh to feast....
A twisted fish eats surfers as a side dish....
When you see the frenzied feeding you will be the next bleeding....
Sharktopus won’t be kept at bay....
And you can never ever ever get away....
So swim on over don’t ya scream and shout....
He’ll getcha baby without a doubt....
Come on....
There’s a red sky this morning so sailors take warning....
Ride the wave of terror if you dare....
Fear runs deep when theres souls to reap....
When the tentacles do tangle you will be in a strangle....
Sharktopus won’t be kept at bay....
And you can never ever ever get away....
(2 times) So swim on over don’t ya scream and shout....
He’ll getcha baby without a doubt....
Come on....
There’s an evil down beneath with razor sharp teeth....
In the water lightly tread or you will be dead....
Fear runs deep when theres souls to reap....
There is a calamity comin’ and from the beach you will be running ....
Sharktopus won’t be kept at bay....
And you can never ever ever get away....
(3 times) So swim on over don’t ya scream and shout....
He’ll getcha baby without a doubt....
Come on Come on Come on....

Remember the days here of riddles, poetry, literary quotes and anons? WHen people wrote meaningful quotes back and forth or made up their own poetry to communicate? There used to be such beauty and creativity on this blog.
Good morning!
Confuscious say
those who live in past get left behind by time
Confuscious just made up a meaningful poetic quote to communicate. ;)
Well I'm feeling mighty fine
got good music on my radio
Well I wanna kiss you baby
while your standing beneath the mistletoe
Merry Christmas Baby you sure do treat me nice
*mwah*
Thank you 6:09! *mwah* you too
I have more mistletoe if needed. ;)
Well I haven't had a drink this morning
but I'm all lit up like a Christmas tree
Tonight memories take hold and tug
Let them pull me back or fight?
Jury is still out on that.
Oh well it really doesn't matter. Tomorrow morning this moment in time will be the past.
So why not just enjoy the ride?

Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo

And offers comin' over the phone
Stop writing my phone # on the walls of bathroom stalls, Mayo. I swear! I'm gonna need to change my # soon. I'm gettin busier than Peggy. ^_~

Just so damn beautiful
That is beautiful. I don't think I've ever heard a Just Breathe song that I didn't think was beautiful. That word breathe says so much. Those two words together say so much more. Don't give up, stay here, don't quit, hang on , you can make it, we can make it, i believe in you. Just Breathe. Two words that say so much.
This one happens to be my favorite.
Practiced are my sins,
Never gonna let me win, aw huh,..
Under everything, just another human being, aw huh,..
Yeah, I don’t wanna hurt, there’s so much in this world
To make me bleed.
Stay with me,..
You’re all I see.
Did I say that I need you?
Did I say that I want you?
Oh, if I didn’t now I’m a fool you see,..
No one knows this more than me.
As I come clean.

First thing I remember was lying in the sand
When a plague of seven horsemen
Came across the desert land
They had one good eye between them
They were burning up the sky
When I asked why they had come for me
The ugly one replied
He told me
Ah, you better recognize
Aw, you better recognize, son
Next thing I recall well
I was hanging from a cliff
When an angel came to rescue
Me and held me in her grip
She said, "Everyone who's ever loved you
Gets hurt in the end."
Then she smiled and said, "Forgive me."
As she let go of my hand
She told me
(You been living out of pocket, out of your socket)
Ah, you better recognize.
(You been leaning like a Pisa, a moaning Lisa)
Ah, you better recognize, son
(Hip hip for all the busted, we are entrusted)
Ah, you better recognize.
(You come a pleading, but it's too late
We can't hear you're on the list now!)
And let your dim light shine.

For other, other anons: I think Trent Reznor is God?! Really??? Since when?
I mean, I can understand being accused of thinking Gene Simmons is the God (of Thunder ~ and Rock N Roll) or maybe bowing down to His Infernal Majesty (HIM); but, since when do I think Trent Reznor is God. (Though, I must admit, musically speaking he is an absolute genius!!!!!) But, GOD? No. Especially considering how he seems determined to "Destroy All Angels". What kind of God would EVER want to Destroy All Angels? (Okay, I know. A vengeful, vindictive one. Once again proving Trent Reznor is no God. For he is not vindictive. Vengeful... maybe. Vindictive... no. Or vice versa!)
;P
One thing is for sure: He is one talented man!!!!
Having said that, I can't wait to see "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo"!!!! The trailers look (and sound) so dang good!
And, HELLO to Mayo, Elena, MissT, Ergo, those decking their halls with boughs of holly (or other things) and those not... HELLO and HAPPY HOLIDAYS to everyone!!!!
Hugs and Love,
~Namaste~

Breathless
by Better Than Ezra
Here you are now
Fresh from your war
Back from the edge of time
And all that you were,
Stripped to the bone
I thought youd want to know
That when you feel the world is crashing
All around your feet
Come running headlong into my arms
Breathless
I'll never judge you
I can only love you
Come now running headlong
Into my arms
Breathless
Lay down your guns
Too weak to run
Nothing can harm you here
Your precious heart
Broken and scarred
Somehow you made it through
I only ask that you won't go again
When you feel the world is crashing
All around your feet
Come running headlong into my arms
Breathless
I'll never judge you
I can only love you
Come now running headlong
Into my arms
Breathless
So glad to see you smiling
So good to hear your laugh
I think that you've found you even
Missed yourself
I'm only asking this because I think that
Truth be told
Oh, you'll never go again
Again
When you feel the world is crashing
All around your feet
Come running headlong into my arms
Breathless
I'll never judge you
I can only love you
Come now running headlong
Into my arms
Breathless
Breathless

So hoping the news about Jon Bon Jovi isn't true
I think it's a death hoax. No reputable news sites are reporting anything about his death and he has a charity event tonight that's still on.
Thanks for the info anon. I think you're right. But it does make you wonder why someone would think pulling a hoax like that would be funny.
hi elena, my hoax slayer guy has said it's a hoax, as to why it'd be funny, the people doing it have warped thinking
Shut up, 10:21. Wendy can say whatever she wants whenever she wants. Leave the people here in peace!
Jon Bon Jovi proving he's not dead
Hey Ergo
Glad it was a hoax. Loved the pic Jon posted on Twitter.
Anyway watched one Christmas movie tonight and was gonna watch another but now I've been sucked into Star Trek the Voyage Home...oh well.
LOL Spock using colorful metaphors.

Live long and prosper
Goodnight
Jennifer Hudson's looking great!
Jon Bon Jovi's looking great too. Especially for a dead guy. ;)
There are no innocents. There are, however, different degrees of responsibility.
Whatchoo want for Christmas, Mayo? You're so difficult to shop for some years. ;)
Hows about I plant a tree in your name? The Mayonaise Maple?
For SS it'll be the SS Satsuma!
What time is it baby, is it that time again
When snow will be falling, friends will be calling
You know its time when, there'll be carolers singing silent night
I love when they sing, the feeling it brings
Its warm as a fire is brightI wish every day could be like christmas
The new Star Trek reboot movie is the best one, although I do love me some Star Trek III: The Search for Spock.
^ You haven't lived until you've seen Dr. McCoy try to do a Vulcan nerve pinch. :D

HOW TO COOK A TURKEY: First, buy the turkey and a bottle of wine. Pour yourself a glass of wine and put the turkey in the oven. Take another 2 drinks of wine and set the degree at 375 ovens. Have 3 more wines of drink and turn the oven on. Take 4 wines of drinky and turk the bastey. Stick a turkey in the thermometer and glass yourself a pour of wine. Bake the wine for 4 hours, take the oven out of the turkey and floor the turkey up off the pick. Pour yourself another glass of turkey. Now just tet the sable and turk the carvey! yur vari walcum!! HAPPY SOMETHINGMAS.
Colorful metaphors: Helping Spock the hell to communicate.
Wasn't Tom Hardy in one of those Star Trek movies?
How did you get my sekret recipe, Ergo? O_O
And now The Christmas Can Can
who they were taking on, did they They THOUGHT they could LIE their way to popularity. II say, bring it on "bitches"! Keep it up! Let's see whose asses Warner goes after. Yep. Keep pissing me and the people I LIKE off and see... bitches had/haveNO CLUE! Yep, everything was always ALL about them.. Ah huh! All the laughter, maybe! Nothing else! xoxo, Wendy
Umm. What?
Wasn't Tom Hardy in one of those Star Trek movies?
He was. He was Shinzon in Star Trek: Nemesis. Hard to believe that skinny little guy is going to be the villain who breaks Batman in The Dark Knight Rises.
2:52 was that one of Wendy's older, drink-fueled rants?
Does Batman die in this movie?
There's a lot of speculation that Bruce Wayne could die in TDKR. At the very least, most fans think Bane will break his spine and put him in a wheelchair. Some have suggested that maybe policeman John Blake will take over as Batman. Who knows? With this being both Nolan's and Bale's last Batman film, you have to figure Nolan has something big in mind.
Take conversation about your big fishlipped prince and go back to VV. There's nothing here for you. And leave Wendy alone.
LOL Some peeps must be having a really bad holiday. Make that a really bad year. We know what they gettin for Christmas. Nuttin.
In all honesty I would still like to know what they're doing. What are they trying to prove and to whom are they trying to prove it? Whom are they trying to convince of what? I know they can't be trying to impress anyone anymore. That ship went down like the titanic.
Fishlipped prince, wth? Batman? Spock? I have no idea what you're talking about.
Sometimes I worry about some of you.
I don't know no fishlipped prince but I do know batman & Spock. I don't want to know a fishlipped Prince. Sounds more like a toad.
Maybe the fishlipped toad will eat up all the flies. ^_~
Give everyone your blessin'
And spread the good cheer
The best gift you can give
Is the gift of love
It's what the whole world needs
Is what we're dreaming of
So light up the fire
Walk through the snow
Come and stand with me now
Under the mistletoe
We all need some Christmas love
Gonna get my Christmas love
☝ Some need it much more than others. They have my blessings to out and get some
of that Christmas love. ;)

It's time to start decking the halls of the blogs all good little girls and boys.

I don't know any fishlipped prince, but Chritian Bale does bear a striking resemblance to Kermit the Frog.
Chris Pine (who played Captain Kirk in the new Star Trek) kinda has fish lips. Nice blue eyes, though. And he's a better actor than Shatner.
✿(◠‿◠)
Harry Potter and the Fishlipped Prince
The princess and the fishlipped frog. Won't turn into a prince no matter how many times you :* his fish lips. That happens with resin ornaments and blow up blow fish.
... and animated, fictional or fantasy characters. You can't really turn a puppet into a real boy or a real boy or a prince into the beast of your dreams.
Walt Disney and the Grimm bros could do that. We mere mortals cannot. Why would we want to do that when reality can be so much better than fantasy if we only take the time recognize, accept and touch it?
Live for what is real. For the actual experiences of all your senses. Live for what is seen, heard, felt, touched, tasted and smelled frequently. Fantasize about the rest but know the difference.
Merry Christmas!
How about we all leave some good advice or wise words under the Christmas Tree this year? Our own gifts of experience or the borrowed words of people we admire.
Words say what souls feel but action shows what hearts believe.
Hi everybody. Just popping by to say "hey."
Have a Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, wonderous Solstice. Whatever you celebrate, may it be as you wish.
My favorite poem which inspires me on occasion. (great idea anonymous)
What is Success?
To laugh often and much;
To win the respect of intelligent people
and the affection of children;
To earn the appreciation of honest critics
and endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty;
To find the best in others;
To leave the world a bit better, whether by
a healthy child, a garden patch
or a redeemed social condition;
To know even one life has breathed
easier because you have lived;
This is to have succeeded.

Good morning!
Merry Christmas to you too Jen
Could someone please ask PP to check in here, or leave a comment letting us know she is alright? Thank you.
Hiya guys, how are you all?
I watch Time Team sometimes, though that one guy with the accent like a farmer is soooo irritating sometimes!
LOL Ergo, isn't he though. I love a bit of time team, but I couldn't put up with him alll day, Tony Robinsone has more patience than me hahah!
Lovely festive pics anon, loving them sweetie.
I came here to wish everyone a very Happy Christmas. I hope it's a great one for you all.

Happy Christmas Eve everyone!!
And wishing you a very Merry Christmas also MissT :]
Unless PP is travelling anon, she doesn't live near Christchurch at all, she's on the North island, though she has relatives and friends in the general area.
There are no reports of fatalities, serious injuries or widespread damage, some areas lost power, there are some water supply problems and some already damaged buildings have been further damaged and there was liquefaction in some areas as well.
Hope that helps ease your concerns.
Hopefully she'll check in soon.
Poor Christchurch. They just keep getting hit. :(
Nadolig Llawen.
Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas.
Hope you have a wonderful Christmas too Welshie

Hey MissT, Welshie, Ergo, Jennicula, Wendy and anyone else lurking.
Busy time here getting ready for our big Christmas Eve dinner tomorrow night. Mr E has been cooking up a storm. It's sure to be a wonderful dinner shared with family and friends. I still have gifts to wrap, Christmas china to pull out of storage, and a bit more decorating to do.
Just wanted to stop in and wish everyone a very happy holiday.
Mayo I hope you're getting ready for the holiday too. I hope you and your loved ones make some wonderful memories to cherish.
Take care
Noel. :)
Happy Holidays to all who still roam the Mayo halls. I still love this blog, honestly, it helped me through more than one hard times.
I still love this blog & the good people that were brought into my life because of it, including you Carriealyannie. Happy Holidays to you. Happy holidays to everyone! *hugs*
Wow. This does look good. Really good. I'm excited. Prometheus

Happy holidays Carrie :]
Sounds delicious and fun Elena!
Enjoy your Christmas Eves everyone, we're just about to have our dinner and tomorrow it's Christmas!
Went out prawning this afternoon. (You drag a big long net through the shallow water above mud flats, in case anyone doesn't know what we do) Didn't catch a lot of prawns, and they were only small but just ate them and they were delicious and sweet.
But, we also dragged in a number of fish so they are on the BBQ right now.
Then it's putting out the Christmas fruit cake and rum for Santa and carrot for the reindeer and off to bed.
Hope you all have a lovely Christmas eve, tomorrow I'll be cooking and celebrating and eating and drinking and being merry!! :D
Happy Christmas Eve Mayo, hope you and yours are feeling the joy of the season xx
amazing drummer boy! pa rum pa pum pum
yes, I played all the parts, sang, arranged and recorded the whole thing. I had my sister run the camera for specific shots, then I edited the video and posted it here Wonderful!
He's only 16 years old. O_O Amazing.
Merry Christmas Eve!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!
Merry Christmas to all and to all a goodnight
Another Christmas Eve has come and gone in the land of blog believe. Another Christmas Day has dawned ; and soon a whole new year will be born...
It's hard to believe that this is our 4th Christmas together. So many things have happened in those four years. To all of us. Good things, bad things and every thing in between. Some of us have fallen in love and out love and in love again. Some have graduated from high school and those teenage years and grown into adulthood. Some have gotten married (Hi Cupcake!!!). And, here we (well, some of us) are. Still gathered around Mayo's Christmas tree for some strange reason.
I don't think it's because we long for any ghosts of Christmas' past. I think it's because we appreciate the present. The presents of this Christmas... of now.
2011 was a fantastic year for me. I hope it was equally fantastic for all of you and I hope 2012 is even better!
That is my Christmas wish, this Christmas morning, for all of my friends here!
Merry Christmas, Mayo!!!!! Merry Christmas, everyone!!!!!
Hugs and Love,
~Namaste~

PS: I would like to leave a gift for you all this Christmas morning. The same gift I left for you all that 1st Christmas here! May you all find your own paths and may that path be lit just brightly enough for you to always pick yourself up, dust yourself off and find your way back home!
~~The Path by HIM~~
:)
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!
PPS: "Cinnamon and Nat King Cole..."
~~Merry Christmas Eve!!!!!~~

Merry Christmas/ Happy Holidays, everyone. =)
Hello, Wendy. =)
4:47am 23 Dec,
Thanks for your concern. Ergo was spot on. I'm up north. =)
My stepsister, who lives down there, has now had an absolute gutsful and is ready to shift away from Christchurch. So far at least 5% of the rest of the population has already done so, so she isn't the first and unfortunately won't be the last.
It was such a lovely city, too.
Hope you all have a lovely weekend. =)
Hi Possum, my fellow nocturnal love!!!! I miss you!!!!
*big holiday nuzzles and smooch*
(Holiday and mistletoe not really required for big smooches or nuzzles. You can have some of those anytime!)
I hope you're have a wonderful holiday season!!!! Was Santa good to you, you naughty thing?! I hope he was!!!!
;)
Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on,
our troubles will be out of sight
Howdy everyone
Possum glad to see you stop in. I know NZ is a big place but to be honest I always think of you when I hear anything about the country. So sad about Christchurch. I have seen photos and it is a beautiful place. Let's all hope there will be no more destruction.
Wendy good to see you here this morning too. Sounds like you're having a wonderful Christmas.
Our Christmas Eve dinner was a huge success. Mr E's lasagna was yummy as was the stuffed mushrooms, garlic bread sticks,and pastries he filled with custard and fresh blueberries. But the best part was the sisters didn't argue with each other, not once. Wow, could this be a turning point? I mean the girls always find something to ague about when they are in the same room but last night it didn't happen. There was just lots of laughter as they reminisced about grow up and Christmases past. When most had left Sunshine and her fella even stayed after Mr E went to work and watched a movie with me. I was a pretty happy gal last night. Now off to mom's for dinner.
Hope everyone has a wonderful day!
Good morning!
Hiya PP, hope you had a lovely Christmas Day, glad to hear you're ok and your step-sis is as well, I don't blame her being fed up, it wasn't a great place to build a city but it's so sad that so many buildings are now being demolished and people are leaving. But there is a point when you just can't live with the worry. The town of Grantham that was swept away basically in the floods is being moved to higher ground, the govt. is buying people's land and giving them new sites, but some people are staying and rebuilding. It really was a freak event, but the memory is too much and some are moving away totally. I imagine a lot of Christchurch residents are feeling the same, the stress of expecting it again isn't something you'd want to live with every day.
Merry Christmas Elena! Your dinner sounds delicious and happy, hope lunch today is the same. We had a BBQ of proscuitto wrapped chicken, greek lamb cutlets and lemon/lime prawns on skewers with a big salad and fruit punch with or without champagne. It was a hot day but quite comfortable and we ate out on our new veranda.Dinner was an antipasto platter we just picked from as we sat around the table in the cool of the night.
Boxing Day now and we're cleaning up and DH is finishing painting the ceiling.
Merry Christmas Wendy,Carrie, Welshie and everyone else.
Hey Ergo
Your dinner sounds like it was quite yummy too. Dinner at mom' s was great. It was sorta a repeat of last night with the same people with one addition, Glock's daughter Bug. She is so cute and so much fun. I'd almost forgotten how great 2 year olds can be. She and I spent lots of time playing. LOL
Now I'm home relaxing on the sofa in my new sock monkey PJ's watching A Christmas Story while drinking a hot buttered rum. Life is good.
Hope everyone here had a great day too.
And, here we (well, some of us) are.
The ones that matter, Wendy. The ones that matter. :)
Now watching Christmas in Connecticut. I love this movie. Oh I think next up will be Bells of Saint Mary's or maybe Going My Way.
(◠‿◠)✠
Peace Love and Hope :)
Todays Christmas advice for the day:
BEFORE YOU DIAGNOSE YOURSELF WITH DEPRESSION OR LOW SELF-ESTEEM,MAKE SURE YOU ARE NOT,IN FACT SURROUNDED BY ASSHOLES
You are wonderful 9:53! No matter what any other asshole says. You and I are the assholes whose opinions matter. ;) *hug* :)
Keep the gifs of Christmas in your heart always. Forgiveness, tolerance, peace, hope, charity and perfect love. If you have and are capable of the first five, the sixth will find you. :)
When the ocation arises, you'll know its right. :)
If a person was constantly sending a married man sexually suggestive remarks to the point of embarrassment,yet you know they are constantly doing this, would you just turn a blind eye to it and condone it because you are friends with them?
Good morning!
Who went shopping today?
Me either! It looked nuckin' futs on the news.
ƪ(ˆ◡ˆ)ʃ
"If a person was constantly sending a married man sexually suggestive remarks to the point of embarrassment,yet you know they are constantly doing this, would you just turn a blind eye to it and condone it because you are friends with them?"
To the point of whose embarrassment, 2:56? Sounds like it might be yours. If your friend is still talking to this man, and he's not objecting, then it's obvious they're alright with it.
If you "turn a blind eye" to their activities, it doesn't mean you condone it. It means you're minding your own business, it means you're letting her live her life as she wishes, it means you're not trying to impose your beliefs on her. Simply because she's acting in a way you don't approve of doesn't mean you have the right to tell her she's wrong.
If you still feel you must interfere in her life, then talk with her in private, either over the phone or on an email.
Look at it this way: does this affect YOU in any way? If so, talk to her. If not, leave it.
and he's not objecting, then it's obvious they're alright with it.
Or just thinks it's another nut to be avoided and ignored. It could go either way.

Hell f*ckin' yeah!!!!!!!!!! WHO DAT?!!!!!! DAT Drew Brees, new record holder for passing yards in one season (breaking the 27 year old NFL record) set by Dan Marino), DAT WHO!!!!!
Dat IS the 2011 NFC SOUTH CHAMPIONS, The New Orleans SAINTS!!!!!!! DAT is Sean Payton, G. Williams, J. Vilma, Lance Moore, J. Graham, D. Sprouls, T. Morstead, J. Casey, Ellis and Dunbar and the spirits McAllister and of Gleason who was there on the sideline tonight! Dat is the spirit of the Who Dat nation!
And, what a perfect ambassador of the Who Dat nation Drew Brees is. So humble. So grateful. Never, ever forgetting to thank those who helped him break that record. Always thanking them and giving credit to THEM more than he takes credit for himself.
That humility. That willingness to share the credit and to accept full blame is what makes Drew Brees an exceptional man/human being.
His waking up an hour earlier than everyone else and working and practicing on days off and holidays is what makes him and exceptional sportsman.
The world needs more men like Drew Brees... and J. Vilma. Men who aren't afraid to work hard and bleed for what they believe in. Men (or women) with talent, skill, patience, smarts, humility, soul, good character and heart. We truly do.
I LOVE MY BOYS THE NEW ORLEANS SAINTS!!!!!!! I just do and I'm so proud of them tonight. So damn proud of ALL of them!!!!
WHO DAT?!!!!!!!! On March the Saints!
;)
Hugs and Love,
~Namaste~

PS: Drew Brees' most said words in HIS press conference (for now being the NFL record holder in passing yards):
~~We, We, We, Us, Us, Us~~
Narely an "I" ever uttered!
Amazing man. Simply Amazing!
The whole world loves Drew Brees. If you don't then there is sumthin seriously wrong wit you. Way deep down inside. ;)
I could never trust a person who didn't like Drew Brees. That would be as impossible as liking somebody who kicks puppies or pours gasoline on kittens.
"Narely"? The word is "nary".
Really? The WHOLE world? Well, I guess there's something "seriously wrong" with me.
Being just a little overly dramatic there, aren't you, Wendy? Abusing animals as compared to not liking a football player. Yeah, not so much.
Just sign the fuck in, why don't you?
✿(◠‿◠)
He so funny that one!
Seriously, does anybody here really give a flying fuck about some football player? Except for the drunken loon, that is.
No more than anybody else gives a flying fuck about actors, actresses, movies, music, bands, books, charities, basketball, baseball, hockey, racing, skateboarding, snowboarding, news, who had what for dinner or anything else. No body gives a flying fuck about anything.

Don't talk like that about SS 11:08. It's not with keeping the spirit of Christmas in your heart. You'll get more coal in your stocking next Christmas.

Mr. Churchill, you are drunk.
And Bessie, you are ugly. You are very ugly. I'll be sober in the morning
Lol. I didn't get coal in my stocking. I got DVDs, CDs, a gift card from amazon.com, a Kurt Vonnegut book and some peppermint bark. And that was only in my stocking. I won't go into all the cool stuff that was under my tree in the morning. :D
You must have gotten coal though, huh, 12:13? I'm sorry. :( Maybe you should hook up with a real Santa instead of an imaginary one.
good morning!
That peppermint bark is worse than its bite.

Happy (almost) New Year, Mayo!!!!! Happy (almost) New Year, Elena and Possum and MissT and my Sweetcheeks and Martha and Mya everyone else... even those who think I'm a (and I quote) "drunken loon"!
LOL and THANK YOU!!!!! That puts me in the company of some of my favorite poets, writers, artists and people (in general) on the planet! (Like my lawn maintenance men, electrician, OB GYN, and trash men. BEAUTIFUL men. ALL of them. And I'll say it, time and time again!) !
I could not have asked for a better gift this Christmas (although, I may have received gifts of equal or much greater value)!
;)
I, truly, do pity anyone who sees Drew Brees (or any man or woman who has worked so hard for others} as just "some quarterback" or just some "football player".
Really, it IS like seeing Mother Theresa as "just some nun" or Huey P. Long as "just some governor" or the Louisiana purchase as "just another real estate acquisition".
That's what makes Drew Brees so damn special. He doesn't see any "justs". He only sees the "special" in everyone and everything. In every opportunity and in every situation.
YOU think he's "just a guarterback"? Pffft... watch ESPN sometimes, talk to Team Gleason, talk to the kids he has mentored, talk to the Brees Dream Foundation or to anyone in NOLA who has ever had the pleasure of standing within 6 feet from that man.
You want to hate me and call me whatever names you want, you go ahead. But, I strongly suggest you do a little research before you attempt to put down any other people whom I happen to respect, admire and YES, LOVE.
Because, honey; you and yours are only making yourselves look like some bitter, uninformed loons. "Drunken" or not.
Personally, I would prefer dealing with a "drunken loon". At least they have a semi acceptable excuse... sorry as it may be (to some)! I hate to say it; but, DAMN Winston Churchill was right!!!!! LOL and poor Bessie!
;)
Oh, new poem for the NEW YEAR coming up!!!! Hang on, Mayo...
;)
Ohhhh.... before I post my brand, spanking new (for the New Year) poem...
Here's lots of other folks who CARE very much about and are very, very THANKFUL to Drew Brees for all he has given to the city of NOLA and the State of Louisiana! For his hard work, his faith, his dedication and his cash in the rebuilding and rebirth of a city/state/region.
~~Drew Brees' record breaking pass and the moments that followed!!!!!~~
:D
:)
:D
*happy dances went on all over the Superdome, NOLA, LA and the Gulf Coast*
Why, I bet even Billie Joe Armstrong and the members of U2 were doing happy dances... somewhere in the world!
Yet another magical, unforgettable night in the "dome". THANK YOU, DREW BREES and the 2011 New Orleans SAINTS!!!!!
Just listen to those sports announcers? Could their respect and admiration show any more? I think not. Why, because they all have met Drew Brees. They know him not as just "some quarterback" or some "football player", they know him as a man... as a person. And, in all honesty, it really don't get much better than that. Quarterback, pro football player, man, person, human being. He truly is MVP at all. Most valuable person.
Don't get that. Too bad! Do some research and try to learn from Drew Brees' most excellent example. Put others ahead of yourself, sometime. Put the "team" and the "community" first and see them do the same for you. And share and celebrate WITH them.
You know, sometimes I think my grandma and Drew Brees' grandma must have known each other and been great friends. As I said long, long ago (here), my "maw~maw" taught me at a very young age that "I" and "Me" should always be the least most popular words in my vocabulary. "Us", "We" and "You" should be the most popular.
She should have known. She was an educator for over 30 years. Taught me to read and write before I could barely take more than 6 steps... outside, on my own, down the porch stairs!
Okay, here's that poem! My friends and loved ones here do know (and some even can appreciate) how I sometimes go on and on and on...
;P
Well, hell! No one else (except cranky ass people) is saying a damn thing!
;)
*clears throat, seeing as how this is her first public speaking "gig" since October*

Year Anew
by me:
Wendy M. Z.
(TalaWenZee)
Fare thee well my love,
the lovely year I knew
The glimpses of the past
long since bid adieu.
The passions of the present
those both false and true;
the vision of the future
seen with eyes anew.
The completion of the circle
etched in clouds of blue;
the beginning of continued
in bright and bold new hues.

Happy New Year, everyone!!!!!!! Embrace 2012! Welcome it with open arms, wrap it in warmth and paint it with every color your hearts desire!!!! Even those colors others have not the ability to yet see. Give them a few hundred years. They'll hear your notes and see your colors then, you loons!!!!
Hugs and Love,
~Namaste~

A certain couple of anons really should watch that video before they make bigger jackasses of themselves in public. I didn't know is no excuse for complete ignorance in this century. It's just proof of further ignorance and regional or global isolation.

*shakes head*
As clueless and oblivious as ever. Still immature enough and more than self centered enough to believe the real Santa brings gifts to them. To believe it's all about what they get for themselves.
You have much to learn, 11:08. So much to learn. I pray you're still a teenager. I would hate think any voting age adult thinks as you do. In purely selfish terms.
I didn't get coal in my stocking. I did recieve thank you letters from my local Veterans's hospital, Adopt a Senior Citizen, Animal Shelters and Thrift shops for the IOU's that I gave to them. Promises of two weeks of volunteer work with each organization for which they know they will collect.
I start my first my first week with the VA on January 3rd. I visit my first adopted senior on Jan. 9th.
I'm betting the gifts of their smiles and their company will out weigh and out value everything you got in your stocking and under your tree for the next 10 years. Unless you learn that is better to give your time, from the heart than it is to receive loot by next year.
I actually had a pre visit with one of my Vets. He told me all about when he was boy and how ridiculous it was to pay hard earned money for paper towels or disposable plates, forks and napkins.
His words what the hell is wrong is with young people when they can't take 2 seconds to wash a damn plate, fork, or towel. How damn lazy and wasteful can they be?
That truly was the greatest generation.
not an imaginary one
What I know is that the real gift of Christmas or any true celebration is not in the asking or in the receiving but in the knowing and the giving. :)
Wishing you all a happy & enlightened new year. God Bless.

"That puts me in the company of some of my favorite poets, writers, artists and people (in general) on the planet! (Like my lawn maintenance men, electrician, OB GYN, and trash men. BEAUTIFUL men. ALL of them. And I'll say it, time and time again!) !"
Your OBGYN is a drunk? Wendy, you have some serious problems.
"Really, it IS like seeing Mother Theresa as "just some nun" or Huey P. Long as "just some governor" or the Louisiana purchase as "just another real estate acquisition". "
Mother Theresa was kind of a bitch. You can close your eyes to this all you want and pretend it's not true. But the fact that you aren't even aware of this shows how ignorant you are.
"You know, sometimes I think my grandma and Drew Brees' grandma must have known each other and been great friends."
You're delusional, obsessive, and a moron, to boot.
Lol, Wendy. You would be more convincing as an "anon" if you waited a little longer before backing yourself up.
Also, my family has always been about giving back to the community with our time and resources. However, we don't feel the need to brag about it.
Good morning!
Hope you have a good 2012 as well Wendy
Personally, I think it's shameful that people who toss around a pigskin for a living make upwards of ten million dollars a year to do so.
I don't believe in hero worship, be it of sports figures, rock stars, or actors. These people are just human beings like the rest of us, and quite frankly, if they did not give something back to their communities, given the obscene salaries they command, they'd be less than human.
I had the pleasure of attending the University of Tennessee when Peyton Manning was there. I had a couple of classes with him, and as a TA, often worked with him at the writing center. He was a genuinely nice person, an excellent student, and a great football player. He went on to play in the NFL, win a Super Bowl, and donate lots of time and money to charity. Is he a helluva guy? You betcha. Do I think that anyone who "doesn't love him" has something "seriously wrong with them"? No, because that's ridiculous.
He's a football player with tons of disposable income and spare time. The fact that he feels the responsibility to give some of his good fortune back to his community does not make him some kind of superhero. It just means he's not a jackass.
Personally, I think the world would be a better place if people had a little more perspective when it comes to sports. Football is only a game. If the people at Penn State had not seen their team as such an untouchable institution, the abuse of many young boys could have been stopped so much sooner. Instead, it was swept under the rug for years.
Don't get me wrong. I think it's great to have things in your life that you love, and people that you admire. I just think it's too bad that so many people have to turn that admiration into such outrageous (and sometimes harmful) hero-worship.

It is rather bizarre that Samoa will completely skip a day this year, so if you're born on Dec 30 and are in Samoa, you don't get an actual birthday, and everyone will be a day less old than their age would dictate.
The decision was taken by the Samoan government to line up with their major trading partners, Australia & New Zealand.
They are moving from the right side of the international date line to the left, so instead of being the last country in the world to change date (after the USA etc) they'll be the first (before NZ and us) and to do it they have to lose a day to line up with us instead, i.e. right now, we are Friday the 30th, they are Thursday the 29th, but tomorrow we'll both be Saturday the 31st, so there is no Friday the 30th.
And in associated news...
The Rebecca Black tour of Samoa has been cancelled as she's now really confused.
you are replaced you are youououououououou
and our dreams are real
and our dreams are alllllll we need
we are glass, we are glass
I won't be sad to see the end of 2011. A year of heartache, loss and general bad stuff. Here's hoping 2012 has better in store.

Welshie, I hope your sister is alright?
3:19, thanks for your concern. My sister's ok, she's far from good, but she is a little bit better. She's gone 20 weeks now and still sick as a dog every few hours! She had a very bad time a few weeks ago and was advised to have a termination for her own health. She refused. It's a constant worry, but we do what we can to help her out.
I felt incredibly sad and miserable yesterday morning when I left that comment. See, my beautiful 82 yr old Auntie Doris died a few days before Christmas. I adored her and her quirky little ways. It was her funeral yesterday. Strange how most funerals are sad affairs and yet her funeral was full of laughter as we remembered her. She'd like that:)
I can't believe it's New Year's Eve already. Last couple of weeks has been a bit of a blur between hospital visits and funeral arrangements and all that. Me and all my cousins (there's a helluva lot of us) are getting together tonight for a bit of a sing song in Auntie Doris' memory. At the stroke of midnight we'll all stand outside and bow and greet the new year just as she did every year. It'll be good.
Wishing everyone here a Happy New Year.

Dashie!

Oh Welshie. I'm so sorry about your Auntie Doris. Hugs to you and strength to your sister. =(
Good morning and happy 2012!
Sorry to read your news Welshie, I hope you greeted the new year proudly in Aunty Doris memory.
Hope your sister gets some relief in this last half of her pregnancy and everything goes well for her and bub.
Happy New Year
I hope 2012 is good to all of us.
HAPPY

Saints = 45 (again) WINNING the last game of the regular season to finish with an 8 game winning streak (and breaking more NFL records on the way to that last win) and a 13 and 3 season record!!! YAY!!!! Onto the playoffs (Saints vs. Detroit Lions ~ *in the DOME) next week!
Panthers = 17
*the Saints haven't loss ONE home game this season. Let's hope they don't make next week (start of the playoffs) the 1st! Nah!
~~I BELIEVE (Go, Saints, all the Way) by Ms. Angela Bell and Harrison Ave.~~
Geaux Saints!!!!! (And, LSU too!!!!!)
In other news, it got pretty JUICY at Harrah's New Year's Eve ~ Eve Better Than Ezra show! Ummm, hmmmm... look at all those drunken, loose, looney women dancing on stage! SHAMEFUL! Lol!
~~BET "Juicy" the cabaret LIVE at Harrah's~~
Ohhhh... and they played "Wicked Game"!!!! I didn't record that one (although, in hindsight, I should have even though it was more Chris Isaak style ~ with Ezra flair ~ than HIM style.) It was beautiful!!!!
And, it's always great to see/hear John Gros (of Papa Grows Funk) with BTE, or any one else!!!
Here they are:
~~ screwing around with "Whiter Shade of Pale" and playing (and playing during) "Desperately Wanting"~~
In conclusion, HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone!!!!! I hope 2012 is off to a fantastic (or at least an okay start) for each and every one of you!
:)
Stay safe out there!!!!
Hugs and Love,
~Namaste~

I had the pleasure of attending the University of Tennessee when Peyton Manning was there. I had a couple of classes with him, and as a TA, often worked with him at the writing center. He was a genuinely nice person, an excellent student, and a great football player. He went on to play in the NFL, win a Super Bowl, and donate lots of time and money to charity.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ohhhh... but, you forgot to mention somethings about Peyton Manning anon. He was born and raised in NEW ORLEANS and his dad, Archie Manning, was the best and most loved of all SAINTS quarterbacks... until Drew Brees came along that is! And, Peyton Manning and Drew Brees are great friends and supporters of one another and each others charities.
You see, it's not about "hero worship". It's about pride in one's community and all who came from, adopted and give back to that community.
It's about giving credit where it is due and appreciating talent and skill. Be it talent and skill with words, a paint brush, a camera, a hockey stick OR talent and skill with a ball.
It's about supporting and showing gratitude to those "talented, skilled and YES... perhaps well paid" people with extra big hearts. Because, you might be surprised how many "well paid" people are just plain greedy and selfish with their time and their money. Drew Brees is NOT one of those people. Nor is Sean Payton (coach of the NOLA Saints).
I, personally, have 6 "heros" in life. My dad, my brother, my mom , my sister, people who go that extra mile for charity (again, people like Drew Brees and Sean Payton... and BTE and KISS) and anyone who has had the courage to face and fight their demons. Whether they've won the battle, ultimately lost their battle, or are still fighting. They are my, personal, heros. Regardless of annual income.
:)
Honestly, I don't understand some people's fascination with other people's job titles, occupations, salary or "contract values". Who cares?! It's not what you get.
IT'S WHAT YOU GIVE!
And, PS: It's ALWAYS "Good" to remember:
~~YOU GET WHAT YOU GIVE~~
^LIVE from the EZRA FOUNDATION'S benefit/auction/concert at Harrah's back in September! Coach Sean Payton was there that night too!!!!

Thank you!

As usual, Wendy misses the point. Completely.
