just take a deep breath and relax.

back from the dentist. had my teeth cleaned and the broken tooth looked at. yes, a crown is needed BUT, surprise, i need another crown on the opposite side of my mouth and this one's an upper. PHOOEY(that's a big eff'n phooey!)

didn't even remember to ask the cost. i know it's going to be quite a bit, but it has to be done.

the really sad and aggravating think is that i have always taken very very good care of my teeth. it's the osteoporosis caused by the NF1. pisses me off but it could be worse. lots of folks that i know have it worse. so, after a teeny pity party for myself i'll be fine. just needed to vent. thanks.

There's a woman in jail in Escanaba, Michigan, United States of America.

She's in jail because she's poor -- too poor to pay her creditor.

Who is her creditor?

Her creditor is the court who says that she is liable for $104 for the monthly cost of incarcerating her 16 year-old son who is in a juvenile detention facility.

The woman is Ms. Nowlin. She was laid off from work, lost her home and is destitute. She survives by living with friends (along with her 14 year-old son) and picking up work when she can get it. She is $17,000 in debt and what money she can earn is garnished.

When Ms. Nowlin could not pay the $104 she was sentenced to 30 days in jail. She was denied a court appointed attorney.

She was given a day of work release three days after she was incarcerated so that she could pick up a paycheck for $178.53. She intended to pay the $104 with that paycheck.

However, the jail officials where she was imprisoned forced her to sign the check over to them to to pay for her "room and board."

When the 30 days of her current sentence are up she will be right back where she started -- unable to pay for the next 30 day stay for her son and able to be sentenced again...

Eating Poetry

by Mark Strand


Ink runs from the corners of my mouth.
There is no happiness like mine.
I have been eating poetry.

The librarian does not believe what she sees.
Her eyes are sad
and she walks with her hands in her dress.

The poems are gone.
The light is dim.
The dogs are on the basement stairs and coming up.

Their eyeballs roll,
their blond legs burn like brush.
The poor librarian begins to stamp her feet and weep.

She does not understand.
When I get on my knees and lick her hand,
she screams.

I am a new man.
I snarl at her and bark.
I romp with joy in the bookish dark.

Your result for True Colors Test - A Self Inventory...

NF - Idealist (Blue)

Congratulations! You are the IDEALIST.

First, the bad news. On any given bad day you're probably going to get emotional and wound up. People often think of you as naive and overly-trusting. You have a tendency to be affectionate, which many may be smothered by. You're probably also a talker, making sure to let everyone know about your feelings. This probably annoys people. You probably cry at movies, which is fine if they are those kind of movies. You, on the other hand, may cry at -most- movies. Wearing your emotions on your sleeves is not always a good thing. You're also probably a bit of a pussy, but that's okay, the world needs peace-makers.

Now that we've got that out of the way, on to the good news.. You're probably the nicest person you know. Always going out of your way to help friends and strangers alike, you're a very compassionate and giving individual. You are idealistic, and perhaps live in your head a bit more than reality. You've probably been accused of seeing the world through rose colored glasses, and you're not at all put off by that. You are an excellent communicator, and most of the time people know how you're feeling. Your nurturing tendencies make it easy for your to attract and maintain friends. You're also probably a bit of a romantic, and people like that you are and upbeat and expressive person.

Idealist Traits:

• Relates well with others


• Friendly


• Optimistic


• Peace-maker/mediator


• sensitive to others


• Empathetic


• Imaginitive


• Inspirational


• Animated


• Expressive


• Persuasive


• Enthusiastic


• team-player

there is a frosting of SNOW on the roof! phooey!

went to my meeting yesterday. have a stack of essays to read and decide on.
other than that, just another monday.

up and dressed. i can't believe how much i slept!

work to do today and a scholarship meeting later.

i had my lights out. not that it mattered much to me. i went out to dinner tonight(early) and had gnocchi, which that alone would be enough to make me sleepy but i also had something called a mudslide martini. it's vodka,baileys and dark creme de cocoa? (they were listed)
anyway, i came home(no, i didn't drive)i went right to sleep on the couch. 3 hours!!!

i bought on of those epi-things, you know, those little rotating tweezer jobs.

i got it for my armpits(yes, we all have them) because i was tired of bleeding.

the damn little thing works very well but it does sting. they say it gets easier and less uncomfortable over time. i can live with that because i am just awful with a razor.

see? isn't my saturday just so much better and earth shattering than yours?? ; )

have fun babies, go out and have a ball!

curious about where the BIG money has been going????

the poem below is the 1st. i've written in quite some time.
if anyone would have the time to let me know if they like it and what it says to them i'd be grateful. i submitted it to my group for c&c (comments and critique) but i'd also love to have any input here. thanks













cherry or strawberry?



like
nailing jello to a tree
thought about that on and

off most of last night

like
nailing
jello

i suppose you could cheat and nail the box but that's
really
not
like nailing that wiggling mass up good
and
secure-like




OR you could not stir it up real good
so it gets that
nasty
slick neon
skin

that might hold
but would it be fair? i mean while
every one's saying that such and such is like
trying to sort of crucify a
cheap
dessert
to a tree



you'd be laughing.



i thought about that
on and off all last night
with the
nails
in
my fist

i was out this morning, in the fog, with max.


we could hear the canadian geese way before we could see them because of the heavy fog


well, they were REALLY low flying. right over our heads. canadian geese are BIG.


thankfully, they did not poop!

fog, fog, everywhere!can't see the street or the trees behind the house.

makes my bones sing off key.

Mad Girl's Love Song

by Sylvia Plath


"I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead;
I lift my lids and all is born again.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

The stars go waltzing out in blue and red,
And arbitrary blackness gallops in:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed
And sung me moon-struck, kissed me quite insane.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

God topples from the sky, hell's fires fade:
Exit seraphim and Satan's men:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

I fancied you'd return the way you said,
But I grow old and I forget your name.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

I should have loved a thunderbird instead;
At least when spring comes they roar back again.
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)"

if the lump in my bed looks suspiciously like bob, well, it is bob.

this is what happens when i make my bed after washing the sheets and having them warm from the dryer.

both bob AND layla were making things challenging, but after plopping layla on the floor twice, she got the hint.

bob, well, bob is just

bob!

it's going to rain later and i can feel it coming. we need it tho. we are in a brush fire warning now.

- Love Sick lyrics


Album: Time Out Of Mind


I'm walking,
Through streets that are dead
Walking,
Walking with you in my head
My feet are so tired
My brain is so wired
And the clouds are weeping
Did I,
Hear someone tell a lie
Did I,
Hear someone's distant cry
I spoke like a child
You destroyed me with a smile
While I was sleeping
I'm sick of love
That I'm in the thick of it
This kind of love
I'm so sick of it
I see,
I see lovers in the meadow

I see,
I see silhouettes in the window
I watch them 'til they're gone
And they leave me hangin' on
To a shadow
I'm sick of love
I hear the clock tick
This kind of love
I'm lovesick
Sometimes
The silence can be like thunder
Sometimes
I wanna take to the road of plunder
Could you ever be true?
I think of you and I wonder
I'm sick of love
I wish I'd never met you
I'm sick of love
I'm tryin' to forget you
Just don't know what to do
I'd give anything to be with you

got this from taking a facebook quiz. supposed to be my 2009 song.
i had never heard of them but fb must be onto something because i really do like it!

i am going to try something. i'm opening up the comments so that having a google account isn't necessary. i'll see how it goes.

up and dressed. it's a start!

nighty nite, i'm off to prowl.

China: Baby Born With Defects Every 30 Seconds Due to Pollution

Posted using ShareThis

http://jonathanturley.org/




from jonathan turley's blog:


In an incredible act, the South African government has barred the Dalai Lama from an International Peace Conference — knuckling under to pressure from China. The very people that once fought efforts to silence Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu are now silencing a Noble Prize winner and international voice of peace because they do not want to insult China.


Thabo Masebe, spokesman for President Kgalema Motlanthe, said that it was inconvenient to allow the Dalai Lama to be heard at the conference, which would be “the source of negative publicity about China.” As if it needed to be added, Masebe stressed “We do value our relationship with China.” China is one of South Africa’s biggest trade partners.

Fellow Nobel Laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu and members of the Nobel Committee canceled plans to participate in Friday’s conference in protest.

The shameful act will leave an indelible stain on South Africa’s reputation and tarnish its own history in fighting repression. I cannot imagine that any reputable academic or NGO would go participate in such a conference...

Son of Famous Poet Commits Suicide AP

posted: 39 MINUTES AGO

FAIRBANKS, Alaska (March 23) - Nicholas Hughes, the son of poet Sylvia Plath, has killed himself, 46 years after his mother committed suicide and almost 40 years to the day after his stepmother, Assia Wevill, did the same. He was 47...

I would never trade my amazing friends, my wonderful life, my loving family for less gray hair or a flatter belly. As I've aged, I've become kinder to myself, and less critical of myself. I've become my own friend. I don't chide myself for eating that extra cookie, or for not making

my bed, or for buying that silly cement gecko that I didn't need, but looks so avaunt garde on my patio. I am entitled to a treat, to be messy, to be extravagant.

I have seen too many dear friends leave this world too soon; before they understood the great freedom that comes with aging.

Whose business is it if I choose to read or play on the computer until 4 AM and sleep until noon? I will dance with myself to those wonderful tunes of the 60 &70's, and if I, at the same time, wish to weep over a lost love .... I will.


I will walk the beach in a swim suit that is stretched over a bulging body, and will dive into the waves with abandon if I choose to, despite the pitying glances from the jet set.


They, too, will get old.
I know I am sometimes forgetful.
But there again, some of life is just as well forgotten. And I eventually remember the important things.


Sure, over the years my heart has been broken. How can your heart not break when you lose a loved one, or when a child suffers,
or even when somebody's beloved pet gets hit by a car? But broken hearts are what give us strength and understanding and
compassion. A heart never broken is pristine and sterile and will never know the joy of being imperfect.



I am so blessed to have lived long enough to have my hair turning gray, and to have my youthful laughs be forever etched into deep grooves on my face.
So many have never laughed, and so many have died before their
hair could turn silver.




As you get older, it is easier to be positive. You care less about what other people think. I don't question myself anymore.
I've even earned the right to be wrong.

So, to answer your question, I like being old. It has set me free. I like the person I have become. I am not going to live forever,
but while I am still here, I will not waste time lamenting what could have been, or worrying about what will be... And I shall eat dessert every single day(if I feel like it).



me-got this just now in an e-mail and it came at exactly the right moment. so, i'm passing it on, maybe you might need it too.

Local Man Livid That The Vernal Equinox Isn’t What It Used To Be

Posted using ShareThis

took a box and 2 bags of books to 1/2 priced books and turned them in. i used the money to help buy myself a really great cookbook, 2 poetry books and a really interesting and fun book on the naughty bits of the bible.

the cookbook is called, THE RED HAT SOCIETY COOKBOOK, and is one of the best cookbooks i've bought in a long time. i spent last night reading thru it. i read cookbooks like some read novels.

the poetry books are by nikki giovanni(a fav of mine) and ed ochester.


the book on the bible is called, THE UNCENSORED BIBLE. it is well researched and explains the hebrew meanings of words and phrases and it shows that the original hebrew is quite confusing to the scholar, let alone, the layperson.

who knew that the word, "feet" as in your foot, could have so many different meanings???? the book is witty and gives one a pause for thought. in other words, it's NOT a dirty book but i'll bet it would ruffle a few fundamentalist feathers.



anyway, i am enjoying them all.

Walking Around

by Pablo Neruda


It so happens I am sick of being a man.
And it happens that I walk into tailorshops and movie
houses
dried up, waterproof, like a swan made of felt
steering my way in a water of wombs and ashes.

The smell of barbershops makes me break into hoarse
sobs.
The only thing I want is to lie still like stones or wool.
The only thing I want is to see no more stores, no gardens,
no more goods, no spectacles, no elevators.

It so happens that I am sick of my feet and my nails
and my hair and my shadow.
It so happens I am sick of being a man.

Still it would be marvelous
to terrify a law clerk with a cut lily,
or kill a nun with a blow on the ear.
It would be great
to go through the streets with a green knife
letting out yells until I died of the cold.

I don't want to go on being a root in the dark,
insecure, stretched out, shivering with sleep,
going on down, into the moist guts of the earth,
taking in and thinking, eating every day.

I don't want so much misery.
I don't want to go on as a root and a tomb,
alone under the ground, a warehouse with corpses,
half frozen, dying of grief.

That's why Monday, when it sees me coming
with my convict face, blazes up like gasoline,
and it howls on its way like a wounded wheel,
and leaves tracks full of warm blood leading toward the
night.

And it pushes me into certain corners, into some moist
houses,
into hospitals where the bones fly out the window,
into shoeshops that smell like vinegar,
and certain streets hideous as cracks in the skin.

There are sulphur-colored birds, and hideous intestines
hanging over the doors of houses that I hate,
and there are false teeth forgotten in a coffeepot,
there are mirrors
that ought to have wept from shame and terror,
there are umbrellas everywhere, and venoms, and umbilical
cords.

I stroll along serenely, with my eyes, my shoes,
my rage, forgetting everything,
I walk by, going through office buildings and orthopedic
shops,
and courtyards with washing hanging from the line:
underwear, towels and shirts from which slow
dirty tears are falling.

AN ITALIAN BOY'S CONFESSION

'Bless me Father, for I have sinned. I have been with a loose girl'.
The priest asks, 'Is that you, little Joey Pagano ?' *'Yes, Father, it
is.'* *
'And who was the girl you were with?'
'I can't tell you, Father, I don't want to ruin her reputation'
Well, Joey, I'm sure to find out her name sooner or later so you may as
well tell me now. Was it Tina Minetti?'
'I cannot say.'
'Was it Teresa Mazzarelli?'
'I'll never tell.'
'Was it Nina Capelli?'
'I'm sorry, but I cannot name her.'
'Was it Cathy Piriano?'
'My lips are sealed.'
'Was it Rosa DiAngelo, then?'
'Please, Father, I cannot tell you.'*

*
The priest sighs in frustration. 'You're very tight lipped, and I admire
that. But you've sinned and have to atone. You cannot be an altar boy
now for 4 months. Now you go and behave yourself.'*

*
Joey walks back to his pew, and his friend Franco slides over and
whispers, 'What'd you get?'*

*
'Four months vacation and five good leads.*

won't you be my neighbor day




everyone's supposed to wear a mr. rogers type sweater.

i don't have one but my heart's in it!

happy spring.

got tired of feeling dumb today and over my head and so i spent a good 15 minutes just deleting mail from my accounts that i should have gotten round to the past few days. over 400.

there are days when i wonder about the egos of people.
i guess today is just one of my down days. everyone has them,

but my latent catholic guilt makes me feel bad for even daring to HAVE a down day.

see you tomorrow.

To The Whore Who Took My Poems

by Charles Bukowski


some say we should keep personal remorse from the
poem,
stay abstract, and there is some reason in this,
but jezus;
twelve poems gone and I don't keep carbons and you have
my
paintings too, my best ones; its stifling:
are you trying to crush me out like the rest of them?
why didn't you take my money? they usually do
from the sleeping drunken pants sick in the corner.
next time take my left arm or a fifty
but not my poems:
I'm not Shakespeare
but sometime simply
there won't be any more, abstract or otherwise;
there'll always be mony and whores and drunkards
down to the last bomb,
but as God said,
crossing his legs,
I see where I have made plenty of poets
but not so very much
poetry.

i love wee mousie's blog!

hey, looks like the sun is peeking out!

been in the house for a week now. it will feel odd tonight no pool league to go and talk to my buddies there. hi guys!

up and showered and everyone is fed!

put some cheese in max's "kong ball" and he's happily making a mess.


i'm on facebook now, so i popped on over there and checked things out. i was just on there a few days when they changed the format and now i'm totally confused.

light rain here and i'm just feeling like a rusty hinge. but no snow, so...

just gave max a much needed bath. the guys in the heavy equipment never did come back but 3 neighbors got out their leaf blowers and almost made up for the truck.

my one neighbor's crocus are blooming but i'm a little nervous that since she uncovered them from their blanket of last fall's oak leaves that they will wilt a little. night time temps the end of the week are in the high 20's.


i think i'll start next week if the weather holds up.
