6/5/2007 - Supermodel and The Smashing Pumpkins

Flowers in Bryson City, NC



There's a first time for everything but me being called a supermodel not even close. I never saw myself as being a model or anything like that but today proved me otherwise. I was in a picture taking mood so I made a stop through Bryson City. I couldn't go far because gas is so high which makes you kinda sad because we only have one life to live and you can't go far driving because you are broke behind the wheel I just hope gas doesn't go up to $4.00 now that would be really tough would have to end up eating small amounts of food.

The daily cost of living blows my mind. I am never shopping at Save A Lot again a rip off! When you buy food there they add 10 percent which sucked
for this past weekend. They added almost $10.00. Me and my husband like going to Walmart and shop but we can't go far now.
The good Lord will take care of all of us. My husband got him a truck to drive and he is very happy with it.

Back to the supermodel
you know I am one don't you?
Well I never knew I was but when I was taking some pictures
of flowers today a guy was passing through.
I was standing on the sidewalk taking pictures of the flower's shadows which I will share so you all can see it. This guy said no
supermodels on the sidewalk. He said what are you doing? I said I am taking pictures of the flower's shadows. He said wow I would
have never thought of that. He said that is artistic. That made my day pretty much. The days of feeling beautiful.




I have to go
work tomorrow back to the housekeeping work. Such hard work. I wish I could make more money because we have so many bills
to pay.



I am counting the days until The Smashing Pumpkins concert. I got two tickets for the Orange Peel on June 24th. They are
going to be in Asheville several nights all the tickets sold out in 3 minutes so I was very lucky. My brother got two tickets too. You
could only order 2 tickets and by the time I went back to order another one all the tickets sold out. My husband gave his ticket to
my uncle he doesn't like The Smashing Pumpkins a whole lot. I just want to get a picture of Billy if I can I will share it on here.
I never will forget the moment I won the tickets. I went through Ticketmaster online it said you have two minutes and if you don't
finish ordering in 2 minutes the next person in line will get your tickets, it also said if you click back you will lose your place in
line when I was trying to get tickets. I just hope we have some good seats.

Pentecost
Current mood: happy
Category:
Writing and Poetry

I wasn't sure whether to post this or not, because I don't actually write that much so more or less everything I write is on the internet now :-S oh well, try to enjoy it.

As some will know it was pentecost on Sunday, as a tradition we do a walk of witness around here and pissing it down or not it was actually alot of fun. Only that one of the guys there (who is one of the most christian guys I know) looked pretty damn miserable, and it just got me how tired and sad he looked :-( so I tried to sum the whole thing up as coherently as I could:

For Johnny -

Pentecost

Your mind has left us for the ghosts of freight trains

Rattling past the badlands,

Where somewhere you're burning rubbish in an oil drum

And waiting for the wind to change.

Stand still while the traffic passes,

Your shoes won't take you much further.

Not as far as the blue eyes of your fathers,

Stained grey by sleepless Sundays

And Sabbath thunder coming up behind.

The mark of tattered gloves and idle eyes,

'A young man made old.'

And over the dust devils

The sound of pennies dropping in a cup

Jangles in the shadows of your face,

Barking in the church-dug hollows

And deepened by twenty four years of ill luck.

The first behind the train at Pentecost,

Pink-eyed and standing at the station

You ask them to spare a flame,

But the disciples have forgotten you –

Their messiah had your face.

5/19/2007 - Origami Secret


I found a neat poem today on this site I go to from time to time and post, it goes like this-

Origami Secret



Birds in Spring don't smell
like lilacs.

Their shells crack
when I whisper "I love you" wrong.

Their throne is delicate and their wings
like paper origami.

Their sense of urgency
is the Mulatta fiending freedom's secret.

Yes their wings: origami secrets.

And though I amble, deliciously poeting;
paper & pen of borrowed-cap fame,

mine own camera capturing the thievery
of their caged-bird essence,

I refuse to whisper their song.
And I refuse to whistle their song.

Yay! That I know the
caged-bird in his ultimate and unending beauty.

He is only I, and I: an origami secret.

Jacquii has a real nice site to post poems on-http://jpicforum.info/index-1.php

Stop by there and check it out.


It is very cold here today in NC. It got down to about 30 last night. I hope the
hummingbirds don't fly away from here cause it's so cold. It is kinda weird weather
for May. I have to go back to work this coming Monday. I have been laid off
for two months. I do dread going back cause I have been off so long. My husband
is going to have to get him another car. I think it's the transmission.
Lord's willing we can find him something really quick.
The Lord always provides a way. Looks like today is going to be a pretty
day.

5/18/2007 - Playstation 2 and Car Trouble



My Dad took me to Franklin with him yesterday. I tried to get a loan but so far I am not sure if we can get a loan for a car.
They are going to call Monday and let me know, going to talk to the manager. Dad stopped by a game place and he traded
in a game cube he bought there about a year ago and got me a playstation 2, the difference was 25.00 plus he bought
a memory card for it and he told me that was my birthday gift. Next month is my birthday but it was nice to get a gift
early. Dad is a sweet person. I love him a lot. We stopped at Walmart and I bought my husband a wrestling game
for the playstation 2, I also printed some pics out. It turned out to be a pretty good day all because dad got me
the playstation. I came home and talked to Dwayne's sister. She told Dwayne that if he needed help next week getting
to work and back she would help him cause she lives close to town and that he could drive her car well now she can't
drive her car. Her son went to town and stopped at a local thrift store to see if they had a game and he got back in the
car and didn't even have time to start it up and this lady hit the front boom really hard, instead of putting the car in
drive she put in in reverse so now glenda (dwayne's sister) can't drive her car. They are going to see what the car's worth
and if it isn't worth much to fix they are going to destroy the car and give her a check so she can get another car.
Next week she will have a rental car to drive. When it rains, it really does rain! Well maybe pretty soon Glenda and
Dwayne will have some wheels. Wish us luck.

5/10/2007 - A Poem for My Dad (Jerry)



Hello world how is everyone this fine day? I got my computer upgraded today to 512 mb so it seems to run faster now. I had a fun day with my Dad  we went to Franklin together. I liked something that Dad said today it was pretty cool. I heard that a store in town has just opened up and that their stuff is real high like a shirt is 90 bucks! I asked Dad, don't you want a shirt for 90 bucks? He said only if there's a 100 bill in the pocket. So that would mean you would only have to pay 10 for the shirt which sounds like a winner to me. I love my dad, he is a
good person to be around most of the time that is ;-) I wrote a poem about him this evening it goes like this-



For My Dad (Jerry)


Dad are you always going to be around
to pick my feet off of the ground?
Dad are you always going to be with me
to capture my every breath
and enjoy the loving world
that we are living in today?

Will you free the spirit
with me always?
I enjoy your face.
The loving cheer you bring to me.
If I am broke I ask you for some money
to pay a bill and you come running to me.
Dad what I am asking will you always
be with me even through eternity?



I know we must one day die
but Dad will you follow with
your wings holding Heaven high?


I love you Dad please
always walk with me.
Thank you for giving me
love and sharing your
days.
Thank you God, a prayer
for the high power above
you sent me a good Dad to love.

I love you Dad
will you follow me
always?
I am waiting for your
human form to guide
me through this road
of weak summer rain
reckless change.

Guide me Dad
through this world
of life and through
the Heaven of the dead.
Be with me always,
Please?
Take my hand,
sometimes life would
be better in the promise
land of gold can you
take me with you when
you go?
Through this sky of old
age and torn pages
bloomed I know you
will always be here
because you love me.



To My Dad Jerry Shuler (I love you and
thanks for loving me)

5/7/2007 - Hummingbirds, Bob Dylan Songs, And Poetry



I am having a blast watching the hummingbirds. I mixed up a half cup of sugar and two cups of water. For those of you out there that don't have a hummingbird feeder on your porch you don't know what you're missing. I seen a real pretty male hummingbird when you take their feeder down to clean it, you see them right away because they are looking for their food source. Hummingbirds are beautiful. I also have a robin that has made a nest close to the house here. Today I saw the robin fly right to it's nest, sitting on some eggs. Nature is a beautiful thing it is ;-) I have talked to some more neat people on My Space. I found a really cool poem here it goes-




When all the moths are dead

http://www.myspace.com/itspoetryifisayso 



When all the moths are dead -

You will have butterflies.

The kind we took a scalpel to

And painted pretty.

            ****

We hope you like your food stitched up,

Three shaded chameleon friend,

Like champagne mixed with holy water -

Saline tastes sweet in the end.

And we hope you love us now,

Our ever drawing flame,

Burning bright on off cut skin,

You spit exactly the same. 

            ****

We are sewn up, smattered butterflies

Crawling from the crucible

Of a moth,

And we hope you think us beautiful

While flying back to the same old fire,

Because pretty is not enough.




Also there is a really creative singer on my space.
His name is Larry Lyons
http://www.myspace.com/larrylyonsl

I decided to hang out with the ducks today so I made a trip to Cherokee, NC. There is a nice park in Cherokee that has some nice ducks to be around, they aren't too nervous of you. I got some really good pics of them. It was a true blessing. Thank you God for ducks and
hummingbirds. Let nature dance!


Click on-

5/4/2007 - Mr. Bean Car


Well it is a good thing I made a trip to the post office today. I pulled up to the stop sign and here comes a car going by all painted and fixed up like something Mr. Bean would drive and in the window was a picture of Mr.Bean looked like something really creative. First thing that went through my mind I wonder if Mr. Bean is driving that car drinking some wine or maybe he might be taking some sex pills. Mr. Bean always seemed to me like a happy bomb on wires or something out of this world either way it sure was a blessing seeing a Mr. Bean car I couldn't ask for more really. To me that was the blessing for the day. Let's put on some Mr. Bean.

4/25/2007 - The Web


THE WEB
By: Monica Mack

A spider spun a web of gold
unnoticed in the damp and cold.
What was the web this spider spun?
breeze-ruffled grasses bathed in sun,
filmy-green trees crowning the hills,
gardens adorned with daffodils,
skies of soft white and softer blue,
fragrant red lilacs dipped in dew.
The spider web soon snagged a fly,
caught suddenly zigzagging by,
forever caught on helpless wing.
I am that fly; the web is spring.

4/23/2007 - Dr. Who Episode (The Hand of Fear)






I watched another Dr. Who episode with Tom Baker this one is called The Power of Kroll


Doctor Who - The Power of Kroll (Episode 102) (The Key to Time Series, Part 5) (1975)


Amazon.com
The Power of Kroll is the fifth part of the "Key to Time" story arc, which comprised the whole of Doctor Who's 16th season. Like its five fellow serials in the arc, it's engaging pulp science fiction laced with offbeat humor courtesy of Tom Baker's eccentric performance as the Doctor. The search for the fifth segment of the Key to Time leads the Doctor and Romana (Mary Tamm) to the bayoulike moon of Delta Magna, where the "swampies"--the planet's green-skinned original inhabitants--are on the brink of rebellion against a colony of hostile humans that have set up a refinery on their land. The swampies call upon their god, a monstrous octopoid known as Kroll, to avenge them, which presents a considerable obstacle in the Doctor's search for the segment. Hampered by technical and behind-the-scenes setbacks (and the swampies' ludicrous appearance), The Power of Kroll is a lesser but still satisfying entry in both the "Key to Time" story arc and the Baker episodes. --Paul Gaita

Product Description
The search for the fifth segment of the Key To Time mires the Doctor and Romana in conflicts on Delta 3 between the Swampies and colonists from Earth.



Tom Baker is amazing. Happy to watch him on an April day. I am listening to Bob Dylan's Radio Hour on XM Radio. He is playing spring songs it seems ;-)

Good day to you all my friends nothing like Bob and Dr. Who to get you going!



Surprised

4/22/2007 - Dr. Who Two Episodes



I am finally sitting down watching some of my Dr. Who episodes with Tom Baker what a dream! I bought about 13 Dr. Whos off of amazon
last year. I got them for a very good price I don't think I will come across a good price again like I did last year on the Dr. Whos. Most of them are about $30.00 a piece some are even $80.00 a piece. The two Dr. Who episodes I watched today was

The Hand of Fear and The Androids of Tara



The Hand of Fear
(Episode 87) (1975)


Amazon.com
Doctor Who fans must take the bittersweet with the suspenseful in this four-part story arc from 1976, which pits the Doctor (Tom Baker) and companion Sarah Jane Smith (Elisabeth Sladen) against the fossilized hand of an alien criminal which possesses a hideous will to live again. Discovered by the Doctor and Sarah during a trip to Earth that puts them in the middle of a mining blast, the hand belongs to Eldrad, a fugitive criminal from the planet Kastria who desires to regain his bodily form and return to his home. To do so, he possesses Sarah and the staff of a nearby nuclear reactor in order to use its power to regenerate, which leads to several eerie scenes with the reanimated hand that nicely evoke British horror features from the '60s and '70s. Well-liked by Baker-era fans, The Hand of Fear is best remembered as Sladen's final turn as Sarah (though she has frequently returned to the role on both radio and TV), and her final scenes with Baker (largely written by the two actors) have an endearing sort of wistfulness.

As with all Doctor Who DVD releases, The Hand of Fear features a number of well-produced extras that flesh out the production history of the episodes. The commentary by Baker, Sladen, co-star Judith Paris (who plays the reconfigured Eldrad in an early female form), co-author Bob Baker, and producer Phillip Hinchcliffe is an excellent place to start for first-time viewers and longtime fans; all except Paris are also featured in an informative 50-minute featurette titled "Changing Time," which illuminates the warm working relationship between Baker and Sladen, as well as her reasons for departing the series. An 11-minute videotape clip from the U.K. children's show Swap Shop featuring Baker and Sladen before the broadcast of The Hand of Fear is also included, as well as the now-standard photo gallery, text-only commentary, and PDF of the 1977 Doctor Who Annual and Radio Times. --Paul Gaita

Product Description
After a freak accident in the inevitable quarry, Sarah Jane emerges clutching a stone hand which holds a strange power over her.
 




The Androids of Tara (Episode 101) (The Key to Time Series, Part 4) (1975)


Amazon.com
Science fiction meets swashbuckling in The Androids of Tara, the fourth serial in the "Key to Time" story arc, which comprised the whole of Doctor Who's 16th season on the BBC. And while the premise of David Fisher's script is overly familiar (it's borrowed almost whole from The Prisoner of Zenda--in fact, one of the episode's original titles was "The Androids of Zenda"), it also provides a rollicking adventure for the Doctor (Tom Baker) and Romana (Mary Tamm). The search for the fourth segment of the Key to Time leads the Doctor and Romana to the planet Tara. Exhausted by this pursuit, the Doctor intends to devote his time there to fishing, but he's quickly pulled back into action when Romana is kidnapped by the evil Count Grendel (Peter Jeffreys). In his scheme to steal the throne of Tara, Grendel has kidnapped the Princess Strella--a dead ringer for Romana--and replaced her with an android. But now, with Romana in his clutches, Grendel seems a step closer to his goal unless the Doctor can stop him first. Veteran BBC director Michael Hayes and his cast deliver the well-worn story line with typical vigor and good humor, which should please fans of both the series and Baker's serials in particular. --Paul Gaita

Product Description
Romana quickly locates the Fourth Segment of the Key to Time while the Doctor indulges in a little fishing, but they fail to leave the planet Tara before becoming embroiled in its complex political intrigues.

4/21/2007 - The Joy of Classical Music


The joy of classical music. I found a deal today at the thrift store in Sylva. $1.00 a piece for classical cds so I bought 10 of them. My husband thought I was crazy he said it is something you're going through, no one listens to classical music. It didn't take long though before he got over it. He found him a nice pair of shoes for $5.00 very nice ones. God knowed he needed some shoes and he worked it out so he could get him a pair at a good price.

The cds I bought is-

100 Music Treasures- Disc 4
100 Music Treasures- Disc 2
100 Music Treasures- Disc 3
100 Music Treasures- Disc 1
A Tchaikovsky Festival- Disc 1,2,3,4
The Classical Collection 50 of the world's musical masterpieces- Volume 1
Classical Piano



It has been a week now since I got my hair cut to my shoulders it was long but I had to have a different kind of look. I was wanting highlights but I ended up getting a strawberry blond color. I don't know it is ok? But you would think at a beauty shop they would know what highlights is not changed a totally different color. Oh well that's life I guess at least it's not orange. I can live to tell about it. Dwayne seems to like it.
Looks like summer is finally getting here!

O Moon When I Gaze On Thy Beautiful Face
By: Anonymous
1900



O Moon, when I gaze on the beautiful face,
Careering along through the boundaries of space,
The throught has often come into my mind
If I ever shall see thy glorious behind.




Life
By: Grace Treasone
1963


Life is like a jagged tooth
that cuts into your heart;
fix the tooth and save the root,
and laughs, not years, will start.



My Wife Is My Skirt
By: Stephen Tropp
1960


My wife is my shirt
I put my hands through her armpits
slide my head through her mouth
and finally button her blood around
my hands

4/18/2007 - In Memory Of Virginia Tech Students
Innocent

Virginia Tech




I am thinking about those students that lost their lives at Virginia Tech. How can someone be so crazy to go into a school like
that and start shooting? The world has gone crazy. The devil is on the loose and people better beware. It is just awful
how no one can have a heart or mind for anything. We could be living next door to someone crazy and not even know
it that's when we need to stay close to God at all times no matter what we go through he is the only one that can take
care of us. I feel sorry for the parents of the children that died. I don't think the press should have gone out of the
way to put them on tv talking about losing their child. How could they even get through with the interview? The world
has gone crazy. I was watching TV tonight about this one guy that had a great voice and sung, he had a page on my
space and it's still there like a ghost in time but his spirit lives on. Every one of us is so full of life it is scary to know
stuff like this can happen. I also saw two students alive talking about what happened saying they saw blood all around
the bodies. I don't think I could have got through it. I probably would have had a nervous breakdown. I hate to think
of where the killer might be now, I know it would be hell and I can't imagine. He probably is screaming for his life.
I mean what does a person think there is no life after death? How can a person be so dumb? The world keeps getting
worse than better and we only have God on our side. The devil is around us too but we must kick him to the side because
wouldn't you rather be in Heaven one day instead of fire and hell? Think about it!

4/17/2007 - Husband and I Writes A Poem Together

Today husband and I decided we would sit down and write a poem together. The last poem we wrote together was at the end of 2005.

I start with the first line then husband goes go to the next line. We just take turns from line to line. It is fun when we write a poem

together. My husband's name is Dwayne and he is a good poem writer. Here lately he has been writing a lot of poems for his new book

called Hands of Dust Writing Memories it is also the name of the poem we wrote together Laughing I thought of the title. I have also been
working on my third poetry book called Blood on the Whiskey Black Moon Grave. Both of our books should be ready toward the end
of this year. We found this really nice guy John that does artwork and he made us two covers that I will share with you below.


Here is the poem Me and Dwayne Wrote-


Hands of Dust Writing Memories


Complicated painted walls
built between where teardrops fall
into the night rain whispers to snow.
The night rises upon the earth.
The stars come out to glow.
Nighttime moon casting shadows.
Twilight gleams throughout the earth.
Softly whispering Heaven's winds.
Ghostly shadows take a birth.

Hands of dust writing memories.
Feet of stone walk on water.
Creativeness motionless words
standing faithful.
The price is high burning grateful.

Dreams of fortune-telling.
Fruits to the mouth's anger.
Welcome in a rain drenched stranger
from the cold's disguised mask.
Painting the anguished ancient bones.
Killing the cries of dirt filled groans.
Wearing crowns crying with tears.
Creating the ghost of yesterday's years.





Hands of Dust Writing Memories "Dwayne's Book"





Blood on the Whiskey Black Moon Grave

4/15/2007 - Anniversary Day



Today is Mine and Dwayne's Anniversary. We will be married 9 years today. I must say that 9 years sure has gone by fast but I love him so much and I am thankful to have a good man like him. I wasn't feeling too good today. Coming down with the flu but still able to let my
love show a bit grouchy though. I don't see how Dwayne puts up with me. I know that I am a mean person sometimes. God did want me to have Dwayne in my life. I remember in 1998 a month before we meet I asked God to send me a good man that would love me that's all
that I wanted, I didn't ask for anything else and guess what? My prayers were answered. Dwayne does love me. I thank God for him.
We had a good time today went over to his Mom and Dad's and then I drunk a glass of wine and we had some wild sex so I can't
complain I am a happy cookie Cool Thank God for the Anniversary days but this one I will never forget. It was great!!!!

4/13/2007 - Blues, Wine, and Crab Meat




Call me crazy but I just couldn't pass up this doll. I found it today at Paws Thrift Store. Looked to me like it is handmade. I think the doll scared my husband a little bit but what can I say I like weird stuff for sure.

Husband and I just got back from buying groceries at
Save More and you sure do save it seems like. It is always nice too sometimes to buy a bottle of wine to relax and who knows what might happen next.

I having been feeling good at all here lately. Tired all of the time can't hardly go. I went to the health center to have some
blood work done. We shall see what it is going to be. I hope nothing is wrong. One thing I need to eat more of is fruits but gosh I can't believe at how high fruits cost at the store for like a bag of mixed fruit cost almost $7.00 that's like food for one night.


I recently watched the movie Happy Feet let's just say it didn't float my boat. I would only give it one star and that's it. Happy Feet had too much dancing in it and too much singing. I did like Open Season and Flushed Away those two movies were pretty good.


I found a really good box set at Walmart for $10.00 guess what it is? Beethoven yes! I was thinking about today at how much I would like to have some Beethoven music it is a box set. I have a Mozart collection that I got for Christmas. I heard a very cool thing on my music player that I put on my space. Mozart playing flute music! Mostly what is on the set I have by him is piano music but it is my cup of tea that or blues music but most of the time Bob Dylan! Oh Bob is a dream to me I wouldn't mind riding his boat even though he is an old cookie me and him could write some poems
together.


Well my fish still seems to be doing ok the Lord made him kick again.


I have been using the magnetic poetry kit online writing some short poems. I have found a book cover for my next poetry book Blood on the Whiskey Black Moon Grave. This guy online made the cover for me. His name is John he is a very nice guy and does great work.
Blood on the Whiskey Black Moon Grave will be my third book. I have decided my number 4 poetry book is going to be nothing but
Magnetic Poetry.


My niece April is writing poetry now and she does great. I got my camera out and recorded her reading her poetry. Stop by and view her reading her poetry on My Space page at
http://www.myspace.com/countrygal_cc

I have found some really cool things on My Space. Decided to put about 15 almost new pairs of pants for sale on ebay still 5 days to go I hope I can sell them maybe so. I have about sold all of my cds because all I know now is Classical or Blues.
Just got through eating Crab Meat feeling a bit full.
Peace to all!



Kiss

3/29/2007 - The Mikado

I watched a singing ride of a movie called "The Mikado - Gilbert & Sullivan (1939)"

 

A first- rate cast drawn from the celebrated D'Oyly Carte Opera Company

teams up with the London Symphony Orchestra for the spectacular film

adaptation of Gilbert and Sullivan's most popular operetta. Cloaked in the

guise of a Japanese musical drama, The Mikado is in truth a good-natured

satire of Victorian society. Martyn Green, the foremost Gilbert

and Sullivan interpreter of all time, is masterful as Koko, The Lord High

Executioner who finds that his first intended victim is actually the

Mikado's son traveling in disguise. Sydney Granville is the robust Pooh-Bah,

and radio star Kenny Baker is in top form as NankiPoo. Colorful, amusing,and entertaining.

 

This movie was my cup of tea but I am not sure if my husband would like it.

If you like singing movies it is for you. Movies back in the 30s sure are

different from the ones today and what can I say I like 30s music too.

Bob Dylan has changed me so to speak. I found The Mikado at a good

price of $2.00 at the paws thrift store. I just love thrift stores.

Sometimes you sure can find some neat stuff and you don't have

to spend a lot of money either.

 

I was looking through My Space today and I typed in Bryson

City, NC. I was amazed at how many people around Bryson

have my space pages and over toward Asheville too. Let's just

say these past three weeks My Space has kept me from being

bored.

 

Rain, Rain, Rain. Well we didn't get a whole lot of rain.

Pretty soon my husband is going to have to have another

car now his driver's side window won't work. The window

is all the way down plus when you drive it, it sounds like

the front end is about to drop anytime. Sometimes it doesn't

want to start. I was trying to help Dwayne fix his window

and I prayed for the Lord to help us but the window has had

it. I think it's the Lord's will for him to get another car.

Lord, just let Dwayne get another good car.

We can't afford payments so hopefully we can find a

car at a good price.

My husband works so hard he has been tired a lot

here lately. I love him lots though  I couldn't ask

for a better man. Thank you Lord.

 

I hope I can keep being laid off I have until May 3rd

to go. I need the rest from housekeeping. It is a hard

job and I am so tired.

Tired all the time but happy to be alive.

Alive and kicking.

3/28/2007 - Talking to God

 

 

Poem of the Day: Talking to God

By: rrw

 

 

I talked with God today...
or do I mean...
I prattled on, and quietly
He listened to my every word.
I didn't squawk about the war...
I figured others handed Him
a BIG ear full on that particular debate
already! Well, at any rate, it's sad to say,
I am extremely bored with death
and dying. But in my own way
I keep on trying to make sense of it.
Yes, I know war is hell.
Been there, don that and got
the bloody T-shirt to prove it.
So, no war talk for me...
I could have rambled on
about economics...
But I would rather have a lobotomy
than speak of the economy!
Quite vulgar to mention such things
in front of God... or any deity,
So I just went off on
how sad my life appears to be...
Sweet thing about God...
He listens with no interruptions... nice!
He's nothing like my other friends
who never pretend that
they give a good gosh darn
about how I'm doing these days...
Advice? Oh, on that subject they've
got lots and lots to say...
"
Please, don't do this,
please don't do that.
Bring in the dog,
put out the cat!
Meow, meow, meow, meow,
meow meow, meow, meow
!"
It's such a pity... Yes, it is.
But I think it's so true:
God doesn't own a kitty or...?
or any pets or plants... except
the Earth of course... of course!
I'm sure that after the debacle with
the apple tree and serpent thing
He'd rather not get too involved.
I understand exactly how He feels.

 

 

rrw is a good friend that post his poetry on Echoes of My Soul.

A great writer. I like this poem. You can talk to God and

your whole world makes a lot more sense. Seems like since

I have been reading my bible I have had the worst problems

and it is like problems to the point of where you don't want to

pick your bible up. I need to keep on track if I can. I found me

a nice pair of shoes at the thrift store and I was pink as a cloud.

Shoes only cost $2.50 a pair of skechers. Those shoes at

the shoe store cost like $60.00. They look like they have

hardly been worn. Thank you God for blessing me.

My mom has been sick. She has a bad case of the flu.

She caught it from my brother. I hope she starts feeling

better. I called her through the day today.

It has been such a pretty day. The weather has been nice.

How about a diet coke? That's my drink for sure.

I can't make myself drink anything but that.

Well off to my space we go or maybe ebay.
