Long Day @ MindSay 
work
It was the wicked and wild wind...
Blew down the doors to let me in.
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become...
And so I begin another day in a long line of days that have come before and hopefully, in a long line of days to come though that is entirely out of my hands. And it was a fine day indeed filled with many minutes of stuff where I had filled with activities that otherwise filled the hours that led me to this point in time where I find myself filling a blank screen with words to fill in the details of a fine day that had passed. Though how to begin, how to put into words the story of my day so that all the world can enjoy the glories of the day that had been though no one other than I had experienced it in the way that I did and no one will ever do so...
Though day is a bit different for I decided against the sounds of nature and replaced them with the sounds of electric gee-tars as I sit and watch the clouds slowly head off into the distance where it is quite possible that they will meet some friends there and decide to rain on everyone's parade, but on a day like today a little rain would be a glorious thing in this part of the world though I cannot speak for everyone in this region...
Aaaaiiiiyyyyyyeeeee, it be a weinerdog down the street. At first it looked like a ferret rolling about in the yard off in the distance, but once I was able to focus my eyes on that distant animal it turned out to be only a weinerdog rolling in the grass though a ferret would have been far cooler...
And I sit hear listening to tunes whilst I watch birds fly in and out of my neighbour across the street's attic. I figured that he would rectify this situation especially after his daughter's house next door to his caught fire after a bird build a nest in the bit that overhung the front porch light, nothing remained excepted for the brick walls. And I remember that well like the train derailment. It was an epic journey for me to find my way home after work because the street was thoroughly blocked with fire fighting equipment so I had to find a place to park and walk home. And I was told repeatedly to be careful as I made my way through the maze of hoses and vehicles. And all I wanted to do was find my way home. I suppose that is the only thing we all wish to do - find our way home and hopefully not have it burnt to the ground by birds...
Looking off at the hillside before I long for the days when the willows were three in number. They were huge, majestic, and were accompanied by a touch of sadness. Why willows seem sad to me is beyond the comprehension of my brain at this moment, but that is what I see and I cannot change that fact. And now there is only one left standing, and its size dwarfs all other trees in the neighbourhood. And it alone remains as a reminder of what was so very long ago. And their lives were cut short, one by lightening, one at the ax man's hand. And it is very possible that the third will died before its come has come, but for now it remains with us for all to see, all to sit under in the middle of summer, all the children to swing upon the branches that hang near the ground, all the birds to build nest safe from the storm. But as with all things, it too will be gone one day...
And now the smells of the fertizer that is being spread upon the yard across the street is reaching the depth of my nostrils. A harsh chemical smell that I wish would leave so that I could breath the air as I was intended to do. Then he finishes, puts all his equipment back in the truck, and heads off two houses down the street, unpacks his equipment, tends to that lawn, loads up his equipment, and finally leaves my street though he left that odor behind that reaches up my nostrils and yanks upon my sinuses demanding attention...
And so is the world as I perceive it from my porch at this moment...
This is the Word of the AntIcrust...
Praise be ye who Read the Word for ye are Blessed amongst humans...
And the willows though they be few in number...

Where Brooklyhn At?
Today was a truly great day.
Met up in the lobby of our building at 11am, and went on a trip to Brooklyn - the Fulton Ferry dock, Grimaldi's Pizza, Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory, an Art museum featuring lots of sex/sex images, Jaques something a chocolate store, and a walk across the bridge, through TriBeCa, and back home.
I can't even pick highlights. It was all glorious. I think I'm on my way to being actually FRIENDS with Zach and Marcus, which would pump me up beyond belief. I gave Zach $60 for the concert tickets, so now I feel a LITTLE better that this time last week he gave me $150 worth of tickets. I'm gonna email him later and see if he wants more. He helped me finish the melon-chocolate thing I got because it was the last piece, made me get in the pictures...and he remembers stuff about me, or that I say. We got to joke about his Sex Museum stuff, and this girl was like 'oh, you've been to the sex museum?' and he was like 'no, it was a joke' which he then had to explain.
Walking home, I guess somewhere around either Canal or Houston (which I know, that's a tiny bit of a gap...) Mike and I started talking about Joe Dirt. I LOVE Joe Dirt. And Mike. He's a good kid. A good ol' Southern Boy.
And when I gave him the cash, he was like 'yeah, my concert buddy is still around but he's always so busy' so now I've established myself as a concert buddy. Which means now I HAVE a concert buddy!!!! hahaha yay! I hope that works out. He's a pretty fantastic kid. Took us the long way home to see his favorite area, TriBeCa (the Triangle Below Canal St). Also learned some other neighborhood names, ie OUCH (OUter CHelsea), FIDI (FInancial DIstrict), BoCoCa (Boerum Hill, ____ Carol Gardens)... he's a good source for city info.
And I have to leave preeeetty much now because Jennifer is in town and eating at 5pm on 13th and 3rd and I am on 3rd and almost Broadway...it's a good 15 minutes from now. Aces!
Then maybe tonight, I'll start doing work? Considering today was bust? But in absolutely NO WAY bust?
Yeah. Life is good right now.
PS - my paycheck FINALLY came!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Woo Woo!
----1145----
PS - how adorable was it when I was playing with my bouncy ball in the subway waiting for half an hour to get on an A/C train and I'm 5 years old and need things like that, and it bounced into Zach's arm/hand and he saved it and we argued about whether or not my ball winding up on the tracks would cause the train to explode?
Or when we were at the Exhibit and he was convinced the 2 ppl in the bathtub were going to start doing it so we kept watching?
Or that I was aware he kept looking at me on the train while he had my ball? Or apparently was trying to get my attention at the pier when he had gone to get the pizza (I thought he took Judy and the other girl, but then he asked for a volunteer and I went, and so did Mike and that Russel kid.
Or how he kept asking me which street we should walk up on the way home?
Or just 800,000 different things that are so geeky for me to obsess over but it's what I do because this is what I do?
There was one other thing I wanted to write real bad here, but I can't think of it because my brain is MUSH right now. So maybe it's okay that I forget. (No, it isn't)
**oH, right, when we were at the Ice cream factory and I started to sing 'Fascinating New Thing (I'm surprised, that you've never been told before...)' and I sweaaaar he turned around and looked at me as though he knew the song. 15 Points if he actually did.

Can I keep up?
Oh snap! Why is it whenever I really want something to happen it doesn't and when I just sort do, but I'm not looking for it it finds me?
I have an interview on Monday for K-mart. Hey don't diss it. It's a job so hey...it would be nice. Only thing is....is that now I've been working a lot more since Phylicia is gone for good....and we have no clue where Nancy went.
But, today was crazy. I worked from 7am-12pm. I was supposed to go home and sleep for a couple hrs and come back, but I decided to look around Tinseltown(right across from my work). I bought 7bottles of shower gel for $4.99! at Marshalls! Anywho...then Jackie called to see if I could come 15 minutes early....and I decided I was going to walk to work to save money. BIG MISTAKE! It was cold! So 7-12 and 2:45-9:45! 12 FREAKIN HRS.
But if I get this K-mart job miraculously it would be the same way.....4hrs at K-mart and 6(usually) or 8 at superspeedwash. I'm just wondering if I can keep up. But I'm going to make it so that Jamie schedules at least two days off on a day I work at K-mart if it happens. That way I'm not killed haha.

Wrestling Tournamnet
Heyy
Had another wrestling tournamnet yesterday. This time it was at Hammorskjold...This was the first tournament that you have to start defending your 'title'. It was pretty sweet acctauly...I got 4 matches :O...all on Mat C, # 9, 55, 67 and 86. Long wait between 9 and 55 :|...(In order) I went against Beth (from churchil), Beth (from St Ignastius), Leezjah (annes cousin, from Ham.) and Brittney (from westgate:|...same school as me)
I lost against Beth (bout # 9) and Leezjah(bout # 67) but won against Beth (bout #55) and Brittney (bout #86)...I think Brittney was really upset about me winning :|...both wins I won by hip tossing and then pinning :)
I think the standing for our age/weight category were:
1st - Beth (churchil)
2nd - Leezjah (Ham)
3rd - Shavonn (Wesgate)
4th - Brittney (Westgate)
5th - Beth (Ignastius)
Apparently instead of metals they give out baked goods for each place...all I hear was that 1st gets a tart and 2nd gets a brownie...I didn't stay long after my last match because it was 9 pm (and there were still matches going on!), and we had been there since 2:45 pm :|...llllloooonnnnnggggg day for the wreslters.
Anyways I'll stop boring you all with my wreslting obbsesetion and go..If you want to chat a bit add shavonn-miller@hotmail.com cuz I am so bord

Current thoughts:
I forgot, I am going to a "How to recognize child abuse" seminar this evening. I hate the topic, but something that I feel very strongly about. Anybody that can abuse a powerless person or animal is the biggest coward that can ever exist.
This is going to be a long day.
Soulshaker, I hope you're doing okay.
To everyone who is awake right now, why aren't we sleeping?
I got an email from TX dude He asked me for my number because he had deleted it by accident, and that he wanted to call me. I had told him that he seemed angry and sounded begrudging when we talked last. His response was "So you don't want to talk to me?". Just that one line. Do I know how to pick 'em or what.
I'd love to ditch work and go with my sis to her job interview and go shopping afterwards. But my supervisor would strangle me before firing me. It really is horrible business sense to be so short staffed.
Have you ever revealed something to someone that changes your relationship with that person forever. And you wish you could take it back? I'm thinking of my therapist when I say that.
I'm blogging way too much as of late, like I have diarrhea of the mouth or something. I'll stop now.
