Voracious

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.

PS: Hi Mayo, Elena, everyone!!!! What a game last night, huh? Not! LOL

One question remains unanswered: WHY NO LEE, LES MILES???

I suppose we'll never know what Les Miles was thinking (or why he wasn't thinking Lee)!

Having said that, CONGRATULATIONS to ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE!! Just remember, we beat ya'll twice, this season, before we blew the championship!

Good Morning

Well today is Sunshine's birthday. She's 21 and celebrating down on the beach in Florida. Of course I called her this morning to sing Happy Birthday. LOL

Oh and Flighty is on a cruise to Jamaica.

And I'm just sitting here in an empty store looking at snow. Not fun at all. The weather this winter has been insane. Two days ago it was 65 now it's snowing. And there I was just starting to like the warm weather. Should have known.

Anyway just wanted to pop in and say "hey". Hope everyone is doing well.

Hiya guys, how are you all?


Bloody hell that Yorkshire Tea's strong innit? A mug of that and you start talking like Deirdre on Corrie!

Damn right. Start growing the glasses too Welshie

Weather's been atrocious here too. One of those massive kiddies trampolines flew over my friend's garden fence and landed on her neighbour's car! Flattened it. He was not amused!

Oooooooo that's bad. Still waiting for my window to be fixed properly. My nice neighbour let the bloke from the council in while I was at work. He says the guy they sent was about 104 and just complained about having asthma all the time. Gotta have someone else come cos he'd told them he's fixed it and he bloody well hasn't.


Hi Elena, I hope Sunshine had a wonderful 21st birthday yesterday. Poor you, while your daughters enjoy the sun, you have the snow. I hope you got yourself all snuggly with the heating when you got home. I( hope you have some cool big novelty slippers and a onsie.

Hiya Ergo, on the sunny side of the world. I hope we get some snow cos I bought a lovely old style wooden sledge and I can't use it.

Well, have a great weekend everyone.

ergoproxy said...

Hiya!

Hello missT, it's rainy here again, hope you get some snow, I bet sledging is fun


Well we are back from almost 2 weeks away, had a great time but it's always nice to be back in your own home. Though it's rainy here, only just started yesterday and luckily we missed the heaviest as we drove the last 4 hrs today and it had eased off. It'll make the creek nice and clean again for swimming.
While away we went to a gorge and bushwalked to all these cool spots and caves, went to my Father-in-laws farm, from there went to wine country for 2 days then back for a few more days. It was great weather while we were away, this time last year there were the terrible floods all though, amazing how well the communities have recovered.

Hope everyone is well, Elena hope Sunshine had a lovely birthday.

Hey MissT. You know, funny story here, I do indeed have the perfect sleep outfit for this weather...Mr. E bought me some footie PJ's. Okay so the thing is they are pink...really pink. Damn pink and I don't usually do pink. But he found them and since they have skulls on them...well they are okay. Good man, knows what I like.

Well back to watching Back To The Future 3.

Take care everyone.........

elena said...

Oh and Mayo....

Was watching a show earlier that totally reminded me of you...can't even explain why (cause my mind works in mysterious ways) but it did. Bottom line here...I miss you. Hope you are doing well and hope you are very happy. Take care.

ergoproxy said...

Hi elena, I missed you too, getting onto blogger on my phone is just too much of a hassle which is a real pain. Your PJ's sound cool,skulls and pink, kind of evil and cute at the same time!

I'm gonna be stargazing with Brian Cox tonight. There's bloody lovely innit. Can't wait.
Really Brian, does Dara have to come too? Can't it be just you, me and the stars?

"We were standing in an empty room.
The moonlight was falling.
You were holding my hand when the car
Pulled up for you.
And I could have spent a life with you,
But those days were over.
You were calling my name when
Your face faded from view.

And wasn't it you who told me
The sun would always chase the day?
Wasn't it you who told me?

Angels fly in the air tonight.
Saying, Wasn't it just like swimming
Out on the lake?

Stars collide, and the air's alive.

Or was it just like those promises that you made
On our last night?

I do love when stars collide and make whole, new, better, wonderful worlds!

:P

Good morning, Mayo!!!! Good morning, Welshie, Ergo, Elena, MissT, Colts, Bucks, speed of light breakers, cupcake bakers and candlestick makers, everyone!!!!

How ya'll doing? Well and good and happy, I hope!

How am I, you ask? Why, thank you so much for asking! I was heartbroken, absolutely heartbroken, for my boys ~ the Saints ~ Saturday night. I was! (It was so damn close that ALL of US started celebrating about 90 seconds too early... including the Saints DEFENSE, lol!) But, I got over it and I'm just so dang grateful to them for the wonderful, wild ride they gave us all this season!!!!

Thank you to the New Orleans Saints and Bless you boys!!!!

It's all good. We'll get them next year and then we will play in the SUPERBOWL (again) and WIN on HOME turf!!!! Yeah, that's right! Superbowl 2013 is in NOLA, baby!!!!

Welshie: I say you should star gaze with whomever you would like to star gaze with!

Elena: A very happy (belated) birthday to your Sunshine! WOW! Your baby is 21 now? Heck, that's legal age even for THE DUNGEON!!!!

Ergo: It sounds as though you and the family had a nice two weeks of camping and family bonding. YAY ya'll!

:)

I had a lovely sort of "camp out" of my own this weekend. On the Northshore. It really is quite beautiful there. The lake, the cold morning air, the sunrise, the birds singing. T'was lovely (even with the Saints loss).

Well, I suppose I should be off (after I finish singing this a.m.'s Better Than Ezra tune, of course)!

Have a great day everyone and stay safe out there!!!!

Hugs and Love,

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~Our Last Night by Better than Ezra~~

I remember waking up with you.
The days doing nothing,
You meant more to me then
Than I think you ever knew.
But you were going to be a doctor,
A movie star, a poet at a Nobel seminar,
I hope the world never tore that out of you.

And wasn't it you who told me
The sun would always chase the day?
Wasn't it you who told me?

Angels fly in the air tonight.
Saying, Wasn't it just like swimming
Out on the lake?
Stars collide, and the air's alive.
Or was it just like those promises that you made?

And what ever happened to the things you loved, the songs we played,
On the Indian days?
What ever happened to the things you gave away,
Like 'Harold and Maude' and singing?

I was waving as you drove away.
The sunlight was falling.
You were writing backwards
In a dusty windowpane.

Angels fly in the air tonight.
Saying, Wasn't it just like swimming
Out on the lake?
Stars collide, and the air's alive.
Or was it just like those promises that you made
On our last night?

Good morning!

Hope everyone is well.

We had a lovely time thanks Wendy, except we didn't do any camping, we stayed in motels when we weren't at the farm.

It's not raining here today, hooray! Might get some washing done, then maybe some baking or gardening, have a great day!

~~Hey, I think I love you!~~

Motels? What you doing getting all "fancy" on me, Ergo?

;)

Hotels, motels, RVs, pop up trailers, riverside or lakeside camp grounds, tents and sleeping bags. It really doesn't matter as long as you are with the one(s) you love (and you have bug spray and big fire)!

Oh hell! Ya'll know I have to finish!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm sleeping
And right in the middle of a good dream
like all at once I wake up
From something that keeps knocking at my brain
Before I go insane
I hold my pillow to my head
And spring up in my bed
Screaming out the words I dread:
"I think I love you!" (I think I love you)
This morning, I woke up with this feeling
I didn't know how to deal with
And so I just decided to myself
I'd hide it to myself
And never talk about it
And didn't I go and shout it
When you walked into my room.
"I think I love you!" (I think I love you)
I think I love you
So what am I so afraid of?
I'm afraid that I'm not sure of
A love there is no cure for
I think I love you
Isn't that what life is made of?
Though it worries me to say
I've never felt this way
Believe me
You really don't have to worry
I only want to make you happy
And if you say,
hey, go away, I will
But I think better still
I ought to stay around and love you
Do you think I have a case?
Let me ask you to your face:
Do you think you love me?
I think I love you!

Glad you had a nice holiday Ergo.

'Ow do Wendy? Awight?

Well it ended up being me, Brian, Dara & Co and thousands of viewers all over the UK. Bloody fascinating programme it was. Why the hell wasn't Science this interesting at school? Maybe it was, 'cept I was eyeing up the boys in class see. Didn't give a rats arse 'bout planets and stars and whatnot.

I get to look at Brian, erm I mean look at the stars again tomorrow night. This is just too flippin brilliant for words. Aye, it is. I'll shurrup now.

Welshie said...

Been on the programme's website and downloaded their Star Guide. Going outside now Mayo to see if I can spot anything!

Welshie said...

Not doing very well I'm afraid mate. Still trying to figure out where bloody North is. Can't do any more 'til I find it! Why can't the North Star be N shaped eh?

OK, I'll try again.

Erm, Welshie. Just look towards the North. Get a compass is your internal sense of direction is off kilter.

If it helps, try to find the little dipper. The North Star will be the tip of the handle of the little dipper.

I've found the little dipper and the North Star tonight, Welshie! It's a particularly clear and bright night here.

ergoproxy said...

Hi welshie, stargazing is lovely once you get used to what you're looking at. Hope you find the north star, we are lucky in a way, there is not South star but we have a ruddy great cross that's easy to find.

Wendy, I love fancy and it's not practical to camp, after over 6hrs drive last thing we want to do is set up a tent to pull it down the next day and drive the same again, plus it's mid-summer and very hot. Motels are much nicer and have pools and restaurants.

Welshie said...

Nothing. Nowt. Bugger all!

It's a clear night here as well anon. Still can't spot the bugger! Little dipper? No little dipper on my guide. do you mean the Plough?

Erm, Welshie. Just look towards the North. Get a compass is your internal sense of direction is off kilter.

Don't have a compass anon! My sense of direction is absolute shite. shite I tell you. I need a bloody Sat Nav to find my bed at night!

You're disappointed in me aren't you Mayo, and you as well I suppose kind anons, and Ergo. I'm disappointed in myself. Oh well, just another thing I'm useless at :(

Forget about the northstar Welshie. It's TeBowie time! Just don't let those spiders from mars bite ya.

Thanks anons and Ergo for your help. I didn't prepare myself enough. Just grabbed the guide and expected everything to fall into place.

So Mayo, I eventually found the North Star. Now I'm just too knackered to look for anything else. It's after 1 a.m. here see.
It was so annoying, I just couldn't find it. Don't know whether to blame the cold, my stupidity or the flippin cow on the other side of the hedge who was having an almighty crap!

I promised earlier on that I'd shurrup. I will now. goodnight.

Cheerio everyone:)

Welshie said...

Ergo, your comment at 8:02 helped. See, I'd had my back to the bugger all night. No wonder I couldn't see it! hahaha:)

No more lying friends
Wanting tragic ends
Though they do pretend
They won't go when I go

All those bleeding hearts
With sorrows to impart
Were right here from the start
And they won't go when I go

And I'll go where I've longed
To go so long
Away from tears

Gone from painful cries
Away from saddened eyes
Along with him I'll bide
Because they won't go when I go

Big men feeling small
Weak ones standing tall
I will watch them fall
They won't go when I go

And I'll go where I've longed
To go so long
Away from tears

Unclean minds mislead the pure
The innocent will leave for sure
For them there is a resting place
People sinning just for fun
They will never see the sun
For they can never show their faces
There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner
Who will take more than he will give
He ain't hardly gonna give

The greed of man will be
Far away from me
And my soul will be free
They won't go when I go

Since my soul conceived
All that I believe
The kingdom I will see
'Cause they won't go when I go

When I go
Where I'll go
No one can keep me
From my destiny.

But how could we forget.
The gatherings hold candles, but not their tongues.
And too much blood has flown from the wrists,
Of the children shamed for those they chose to kiss.
Who will rise to stop the blood?

We're calling for,
Insisting on,
A different beat, yeah.
A brand new song.

Woah, woah. (Tyler Clementi, age 18)

Good Morning

Well my girls are back from their trips. First thing I asked Flighty was if she'd known about that other cruise ship tragedy. She said that her ship had a moment of silence for those passengers. Such a sad thing. Sunshine soaked up some rays in Florida and had a great time. I'm just glad they are both home at least for a while. Soon Flighty will be leaving for Seoul Korea. She is going to study there for four months. I'm a bit nervous about her going, I've never had one of my daughters that far from home but hey, she's really looking forward to the adventure.

Well other than the totally weird weather we've been having here not much else is going on. While I can't say it's been a tough winter (a few days ago it was 70) I'm still looking forward to Spring.

Hope everyone is doing well. Take care.

Damn pink and I don't usually do pink. But he found them and since they have skulls on them...well they are okay. Good man, knows what I like.

They sound lovely Elena. I do love the cold weather cos it means snuggling up in cosy stuff. I get very excited when the winter knitwear appears in the shops, how sad am I hahah?


I'm gonna be stargazing with Brian Cox tonight. There's bloody lovely innit. Can't wait.

Hi Mayo!!!! Hi MissT!!!! Hi, everyone and everypony and Elena and Welshie and Ergo!

MissT: Thank you (again and again and again!)!!!! It's (kind of) amazing how "camping on the Northshore" one weekend and rockin' out at the HOB in NOLA, the next weekend, can be so damn equally beautiful, fulfilling and lovely!!!! Almost as beautiful and lovely (and sometimes naughty) as you are!

;)

Speaking of "rockin' out", here's some (more) of Friday's night's!

~~Rise Against "Drones" live at the HOB, New Orleans!!!!~~

The best is yet to come (as in, STILL UPLOADING)! Hot diggity dog, RISE AGAINST was simply phenomenal (as was the energy of the crowd at the HOB that night)! I can, honestly, say, that the last time I saw that much crowd energy (at the HOB) was at the AFI show a couple of years ago! (And, I DO hope they'll be back soon cause I wuv them too!)

Weather wise, it's been simply GORGEOUS here!!!! A few "freeze days" here and there; but, otherwise... a very mild, gentle, sunny and GORGEOUS winter!

*knocks on hard (southern oak ~ possibly sunken sycamore) wood*

So, who's ready for CARNIVAL TIME/Mardi Gras??? I know I am (after a week or two of good, "sheep" sleep)!

I've got some friends, some that I hardly know
But we've had some times, I wouldn't trade for the world
We chase these days down with talks of the places that we will go

We live on front porches and swing life away,
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
If love is a labor I'll slave till the end,
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand....until you hold my hand

I'll show you mine if you show me yours first
Let's compare scars, I'll tell you whose is worse
Let's unwrite these pages and replace them with our own words

We live on front porches and swing life away,
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
If love is a labor I'll slave till the end,
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand

Swing life away [x4]

Good morning Ergo

How are you today? I have spent most of the day working but decided to take a break and watch a few shows I had recorded. One was Legends of the Ozarks. It was cool to see one of my customers on the show. He is a big time Bigfoot Hu nter. The story he told on the shw was one he told me several months ago. Not sure if I believe in Bigfoot but I know he does and so do his friends.

And gotta say it's fun finding obscure books about Bigfoot for him.

Well back to catching up on some shows.

Hi elena, had a big day, school is back today and BG has started yr5 so we took all her books in this morning, then I had a dr's appt for a check up, all good, then a bit of shopping, late lunch of sushi I bought with hubby, then pick up BG on the way home.

Wonder if I've ever seen your customer on tv, I have watched a few Bigfoot docos.

Hi welshie, hope you had a nice weekend

Welshie said...

Had a brill weekend Ergo. Had a super, smashing, great time with friends. Went out for a fabulous meal in a top class restaurant. Bloody gorgeous and tres bloody bon:)

Felt a bit daft cos I had to ask the waiter what the 'cep' in cep & potato soup was. T'is a mushroom apparently. 'Twas deeelish.
To be fair, none of my friends knew what a bloody cep was either but they weren't prepared to admit their ignorance to the French waiter. haha.

Remain silent and you are nothing more than part of the problem. One of the bigger parts. You have no one to blame but yourselves.

Do something. Say something. Get up off of your asses and stand up for something Gotdammit. Stop giving a fuck about what someone else might think. You know what is right and what is wrong. Stand up and speak out. Stop hiding in corners and expecting other people to speak up for and protect you. Fuck. Has everyone in the world gotten that damn lazy and complacent? I sure as hell hope not.

I only know what a cep is from watching cooking shows, never tasted one but the soup sounds like it'd be delicious.

It's a fucking mushroom. It's not even a good shroom. It won't show you your path in life or anything. Not anymore than your garden variety asparagus or a cup of Lipton tea.

Cherry Almond Pudding

1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
Pinch salt
2 cups almond milk
1/2 tsp. almond extract
1/3 cup vegan graham cracker cookie crumbs
1/3 cup frozen cherries, thawed
3 Tbsp. chopped almonds
Chopped mint leaves

In a small bowl, combine the sugar, cornstarch, and salt.
In a medium saucepan, whisk the sugar mixture with the almond milk.
Bring the mixture to a boil for 2 minutes, whisking frequently.
Set the heat to medium-low and continue to cook for 5 to 7 minutes, whisking occasionally, until thick.
Stir in the almond extract and pour into a container. Refrigerate for about 2 hours.
In the bottom of four individual glass serving bowls, layer the graham cracker crumbs, pudding, and cherries.
Top with any leftover pudding and cookie crumbs and garnish with the chopped almonds and mint leaves.
Enjoy!

Is it the song Karma Chameleon that you hate Welshie or is it the idea of Karma?


I like both of them. The song and the idea that if you disrespect, mock or look down your nose at other people, beliefs and things in the universe, the universe will flip you over and ass fuck you hard. Without lubricant. Repeatedly.

It works for me. :)

Why don't you believe in karma, Welshie? Why don't you believe that what you send out comes back to you one way or the other. Good and bad.

When you really think about it karma is what all religion is based on. Pagan, Christian, Jewish, Buddism, Hinduism, Muslim. Any religion. Isn't it?

Not in karma as some define it, and defiantly not that 3 fold wiccan version.
I don't think bad things happen only because people deserve it, or that you can insulate yourself from misfortune by good deeds. Life will have it's ups and downs regardless. But I do believe that your attitude positive or negative will cause you to act and interact in ways that will bring about consequences reflecting those attitudes. So to me it isn't a tit for tat type of concept, a bad/good deed will bring similar back to you, but a general life outlook creating your sphere of experience.
