sometimes you must live for yourself. good luck and great write!

thank you all!

gokey is boring. i can't believe he beat out allison.

i like adam, the different arrangements they've used on some of his songs have been entertaining. i thought my mom & stepdad would have a heart attack when he did ring of fire.

chris is a talented, good looking kid. i would not be disappointed if he won.

they'll all get record deals. then they can start doing originals. that's when we find out who is truly talented.

when she walks too close
i feel her gravity pull me
into a fatal orbit
we crash into one another
it's something we must live with
first time we met we knew
no matter how far apart
no matter how long the absence
sometimes we go a year without
so much as a simple phone call
but nothing's ever simple
the complication is sweet
once when we intersected
the rush was intensified
the time went too fast and too slow
we were all that mattered
maybe someday we can put aside
our obsticles at the same time
and slow time down to a standstill
and learn to burn more slowly

ate 3 wendy's double stackers for breakfast

paranoid lovesick - perfect timing

the number is familiar
i see it occasionally
my past wants me
and sometimes i answer
the voice is familiar
the very timbre
makes my heart race
brings back memories, vivid
"what if's" saturate
all sides of the conversation
what if, indeed
the talk turns again
talk of fantasies and wishes
never to come true
the goodbye is familiar
and no matter what
no matter how good
the day has been
a void within
grows wider each time
and i feel the loss
of something lost
so long ago, i barely remember
the loss is familiar
the emptiness painful
but when the call comes again
i'll probably answer

i prefer pringles, meself.

excellent write, btw. i'd hate to see some of the stupid emails men send to women...

thank you all. the kitty seems to be a bit better, but you never know. he's 14.

stevie nicks - stand back

simca (french version of the fiat...and my second french car in a row!)

the old man awakes
from the half sleep
made difficult, still
feeling bad
sick as a dog they say, like
it was
a joke
feeling better, given medicine
reluctantly
very, very, reluctantly
he stands up, stretches
coughs a little
looks at the mess he's become
his orange and gold striped fur
ragged around the edges
he jumps down
weak, tired, yet still graceful
walks to the open window
and goes outside
soon, he thinks, but not yet
it's too nice to go
he lays down on the deck in the sun
and sleeps better

excellent write! i love lilacs, so pretty, and they smell lovely.

try "cedar's" for music.

i pop in on occasion. very, very busy as of late.

thank you
