Take 2 of these and call someone who cares, like you and poetry!

Well today I worked the day killer (11-7) and afterwards I went a-drinking with some friends at a great mexican bar near where I work, I have not laughed so freaking hard in my life in a LONG ass time. I sorely needed it too--laughing REALLY is the best medicine.

I wanna say THANX a million to everyone who gave their insights and suggestions on research and diagnosis on the subject of alzhiemers...I have done a ton of research and spoke to mom briefly about holding off on the panic button until a full battery of tests gives us the whats and whys...Ya'lll are pretty cool...'preciate ya!

Okay. Lets get down to business folks...I have to seriously tweak my 5 year plan in order to get back on track with the stuff I wanna do and so I have to really plan things to the letter for tha to happen...welcome to high gear folks...frankly I am pretty syked even though my concetration has to be whipped into a more streamlined kinda vibe..no worries...that's how I roll...

AHHHHHHHH

Mariah Carey at the Toyota Center 9/14/2006

And yes...yours truly will truly be in the HOUSE! I don't care how crazy she is I still love her screaming ass to pieces!!! Work it Mariah! I am not mad at you girl!!!

Anyway..how about some poetry...here goes....(thank you, thank you, thank you doll)

My Love At the Shutting of this Door At Night

My love, at the shutting of this door of night

I ask of you, love, a journey through a dark pound:

shut out your dreams: enter with your sky my eyes:

stretch out in my blood as if in a wide river.

Goodbye, goodbye, cruel clarity that was dropped

into the bag of every day of the past:

goodbye to every gleam of clocks or oranges:

welcome oh shadow, periodic friend!

In this boat, or water, or death, or new life,

one more time we unite, slumbering, resurrected:

we are the marriage of the night in the blood.

I don’t know who lives or dies, sleeps or wakes,

but it is your heart that delivers,

to my chest, the gifts of the dawn.--Pablo Neruda

Goddess Bless

I always look froward to your poetry, it always inspires deep thoughts within me, though I am unable to express any of them.

I am not a Mariah fan per se, but she sings one song I listen to when I need a good cry.."Cant Let Go." Well, there are two, her cover of "Without You." That is one of the most beautiful covers i've ever heard. Those two songs, combined with ANYTHING by Nina Simone help me get out a lot of pent up sadness and frustration. I find it hard to laugh when i'm in those sorts of moods, but sometimes I can pull myself up out of it, and youre right, once I start laughing, theres no feeling in the world like it.

I truly love your blog. I am so proud of you, and I feel better every time I click on your link and I see you smiling. I'd love to be able to push through the way you do, in spite of it all. Youre definitely a motivating factor for me, thank you.

Girl, if you ever get the chance or the inclination--listen to Aretha Franklin's "Spirit in the Dark"...That song will bring you around to feeling good no matter how upset you are!

Poetry is the shit! I envy folks who can say a million things in a couple of well thoughtout lines....

Hey I am proud of you...despite the setbacks you face you stay honest AND openminded and that my friend is indeed something! Not a lot of folks are truly honest with themselves about who they are----I have never seen you duck and dodge what you own as your issues or responsibilities... so BRAVO. cuz that kinda shit certainly aint easy!

on top of it all you are DAMN funny and insightful at the same time!
