Wednesday, April 8, 2015, 8:31:25 AM- On a lighter side. | ||
I have finally found my perfect sleep #. That # is 6 Glasses of wine. What did the Easter egg say to the boiling water ? It might take me awhile to get hard, i just got laid by some chick. A couple were out shopping when the guy said, u know ur butt looks like 1 of those old washing machines. She just looked at him and goes on with her day. That night, he starts getting horny. She looks at him and says, that load isn't big enough. You will have to do it by hand. The first thing I do when wake up is... Try and go back to sleep again. Do u ever get up in the morning , look in the mirror and think that can't be accurate. Handle every stressful situation like a dog. If u can't eat it or play with it, just pee on it and walk away. Instead of a sign that says "Do not disturb " I need 1 that says "Already disturbed proceed with caution ". A guy is walking on a beach in Cali. when he stumbles on a bottle . Out pops a genie. The genie offers the guy 1 wish, anything he wants. The guy thinks and says "I really like Hawaii! Build me an expressway across to the islands. The genie said, that would be almost impossible. The logistics would be crazy, can you pick something else. The guy thinks then says "I want to understand women". The genie scratches his head and says, How many lanes do u want on that expressway. Vegetarian is an old Indian word. Translated it means, bad hunter. Live love n laugh w passion | ||

Tuesday, April 7, 2015, 5:23:12 AM- thoughts to ponder | ||||||
It's who you think of at 2 p.m. when ur busy that matters, not who u think of at 2 a.m. when ur lonely. Chemistry is touching some1s arm and it setting off a fire in their mind. A ship is safe in harbor, but that is not what ships are meant to do. Why do we close our eyes when we pray, cry, kiss, or dream ? Because the most beautiful things in life are not seen. They r felt. There are more sincere kisses in airports than wedding halls and the walls of hospitals have heard more prayers than a church. Life is not a fairy tell. If u lose ur shoe at midnite...ur drunk. Be the person ur dog thinks u r. Let someone love you just the way u r - as flawed as u might be ,as unaccompanied as u may feel u r. To believe that u must hide all of u that is broken, out of fear that some1 else is not capable of loving what is less than perfect, is to believe that sunlight is incapable of entering a broken window and illuminating a dark room. Find some1 who makes realize 3 things: 1, home is not a place but a feeling. 2, that time is not measured by a clock, but by moments 3, heartbeats r not heard but felt and shared. The older u get the more u realize that it isn't about the material things, pride, or ego. It's about r hearts and who they beat for Final thought: Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will.

Sunday, April 5, 2015, 4:47:15 AM- happy easter n my thoughts | ||||||
Easter going back before christ to the pagans was a time of rebirth. I have a scar on my nose and a really big 1 on my tummy. I shouldn't be alive today but I'm here. Maybe its a chance for me, maybe good hearts r bound together, people can't see the big scare but I wear them both proudly . People if I go to eat out even if they r doing carry out will just come n sit n talk 2 me. I'm nothing special. The Japanese have a thing where if a cup u have or vase breaks Up mend it , if it is something to u, no matter what u paid 4 it. u have the pieces put back together with soft gold to bind it. It is now a valuable piece to all. i remember a car I had my ex n I would get new cars every 2 years back n forth but I got that car in came to love so, with all its imperfections time gave so many scars but I still kept it . Most of us r scared in some way, maybe inside, maybe on the outside. And that is r rebirth. Happy Easter ! | ||||||

Friday, April 3, 2015, 12:13:07 PM- thoughts of the day with some humor | ||
Thoughts for 2015 Number 10 - Life is sexually transmitted. Number 9 - Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die. Number 8 - Men have two emotions: Hungry and Horny. If you see him without an erection, make him a sandwich. Number 7 - Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day; teach a person to use the Internet and they won't bother you for weeks. Number 6 - Some people are like a Slinky...not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs. Number 5 - Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in a hospitals dying of nothing. Number 4 - All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism. Number 3 - Why does a slight tax increase cost you two hundred dollars and a substantial tax cut ;saves you thirty cents? Number 2 - In the 60s, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it look normal. AND THE NUMBER 1 THOUGHT FOR 2015 - We know exactly where one cow with mad-cow-disease is located among the millions and millions of cows in America but we haven't got a clue as to where millions of illegal immigrants and terrorists are located. Maybe we should put the Department of Agriculture in charge of immigration. A male whale and a female whale were swimming off the coast of Japan when they noticed a whaling ship. The male whale recognized it as the same ship that had harpooned his father many years earlier. He said to the female whale, "Lets both swim under the ship and blow out of our air holes at the same time and it should cause the ship to turn over and sink." They tried it and sure enough, the ship turned over and quickly sank. Soon however, the whale realized the sailors had jumped overboard and were swimming to the safety of the shore. The male was enraged that they were going to get away and told the female, "Let's swim after them and gobble them up before they reach the shore." At this point, he realized the female was becoming reluctant to follow him. "Look," she said, "I went along with the blow job, but I absolutely refuse to swallow the seamen . live love n laugh w passion | ||

Thursday, April 2, 2015, 1:12:57 AM- thoughts of the day; wine , music n final thoughts | ||||||
Tip , on wine 1, Open bottle so it can breathe. 2, Check to see if its breathing, your doing great ! 3, In the event its not breathing. 4, Apply mouth to mouth ------ Before I had some1 to write the music for me when I was young. I wrote off to different places at about 14. My first published song lyrics was in a book called a collection of singing poems . This was before meeting my partner in phantom music . Ive always been deep into song lyrics. although, im a big horns fan when it comes to music. Here is a song, r should I say the lyrics of 1 that tells a story as all poems n lyrics should . I cant post any finished music of mine here due to it needing to be copy righted first. Here is a good 1 n the guy dosnt get the girl , but tis life I saw her once before; she didn't turn me on. One night she stopped to talk to pass the time. And then I saw her eyes; her softly smiling glow, We sat and talked all night at Byblos. She talked of feelings that I knew were true. She painted me a picture using ev'ry shade of blue It was light with laughter, At times it made me cry, And now I'll never know just why I didn't ever try to hold her; to squeeze her; to kiss her all night long, I never tried to please her. Then, soon she had to go; I sat there all alone And thought of things she said The whole day through. And then I realized, I never took the time To find out where she lived Or where to call. I thought that I would see Her the next night, Anticipating how I'd set myself right. Then, I went back to Byblos; I sat there and waited, Feeling just a little nervous And a little frustrated. Then, soon, in she came, looking just the same Oo, I could hardly wait to take her far from the game. Then a person came in to the club that I had to speak to I explained the situation to her And i thought she understood But I guess she thought I was jerking her around Cause when I looked for her, this is what I found She was hanging with a real good friend of mine, He was happening, I guess it was his time. I really couldn't blame him, cause he was sad and lonely too. But just talking to her did me so much good, I knew she'd do him good too. Then I went home and I got it on, Sat down to write these words when I was finally alone. And then, about halfway through I wondered if someone knew where she was, so I could give her a call, And I found out that she was right down the hall, Not too far away, but that's ok, I'll just wait for the day when I can see her again and spend some time. final thoughts of the day ; A physician once said , the best medicine for humans is love. Some1 asked, what if that dosnt work ? He smiled n said, increase the dose. My day is always better when I give people a bit of my heart, instead of a peace of my mind. Remember this always f.l.y fly = first love yourself live , love n laugh w passion life is truely a frame of mind beginning w attitude. | ||||||

Sunday, March 29, 2015, 6:18:26 AM- thoughts of the day ; rules to consider | ||||||
1. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night. 2. Don't worry about what people think, some don't do it very often. 3. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above average drivers. 4. Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity. 5. If you must choose between two evils, pick the one you've never tried before. 6. My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance. 7. There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness." 8. A person, who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person. (This is very important. Pay attention! It never fails.) 9. Not all fantasies are meant to be realized; some are meant to inspire real life. 10. Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.’ 11. Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance. 12. A conscience is what hurts when all of your other parts feel so good. 13. Experience is a wonderful thing. It enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again. 14. Men are from earth. Women are from earth. Deal with it. 15. No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes. 16. "The most powerful force in the universe is love; whether it be romantic love or love of some thing. Having it, not having it, obtaining it, or losing it directs 85% of humans’ actions. 17. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she's pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment. 18. Opportunities always look bigger going than coming. 19. Junk is something you've kept for years and throw away three weeks before you need it. 20. There is always one more imbecile than you counted on. 21. Do not ask the question if you do not truly want to know the answer, especially if the answer may not be what you want it to be. 22. By the time you can make ends meet, they move the ends. 23. Going to church doesn't make you a Christian anymore than standing in a garage makes you a car. 24. Someone who thinks logically provides a nice contrast to the real world. 25. If you had to identify, in 1 word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, & never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be "meetings." 26. Not one shred of evidence supports the notion that life is serious. 27. People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them. 28. You should not confuse your career with your life. 29. Bills travel through the mail at twice the speed of checks. 30. Never lick a steak knife. 31. The most destructive force in the universe is gossip. 32. Middle age is when broadness of the mind and narrowness of the waist change places. 33. There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a big deal about your birthday. That time is age eleven. 34. If you look like your passport picture, you probably need the trip. 35. Your friends love you anyway. 36. Final thought for the day: Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic. __________________ | ||||||

Tuesday, March 24, 2015, 9:11:00 PM- lyrics and meaning of the song leather and lace | ||||||
Leather and Lace It has a great story and is a beautiful song. Written by Stevie Nicks. It is about her and Don Henley. Here are the words and their meaning ; Is love so fragile... And the heart so hollow Shatter with words... Impossible to follow Stevie is talking first. They are having some problems. It is a struggle to maintain both their musical stardom and their relationship. Their egos get in the way. They can't help a little jealousy of the other's success, while also being torn by being proud of them. Stevie wants to point out that love is strong enough to endure. The angry words they say to each other can't shatter it. The heart (not really the actual heart, but the symbolic place where love lives) should be full, not hollow enough to let unkind things said break it. She is asking it like a question, probably wanting him to realize it. Is it impossible to follow your heart for love? You're saying I'm fragile... I try not to be I search only... for something I can't see I have my own life... and I am stronger than you know She wants him to know that she does not need him to survive. He likes to think of her as a fragile little thing that needs to be protected. Many men look(ed) at women that way. However, she is a force to be reckoned with in the music business, and she can take care of herself. It is often hard for a man to be in a relationship with an independent woman who can make it on her own. He tells her she is fragile because he wants her to depend on him, but she tries not to do that. That untangible thing called that she has been looking for called success is her weakness, as is the love that will last and not collapse when times get rough. But I carry this feeling When you walked into my house That you won't be walking out the door Still I carry this feeling When you walked into my house That you won't be walking out the door Although she is her own person, when she met this man she knew he was the one for her and that they would be together forever. They had an immediate connection. Although she is no longer with him romantically, he has remained part of her world. So, when he walked through the door of her life, he did not go back out. Still special to her. Lovers forever... face to face My city or mountain Stay with me stay I need you to love me I need you today Again, she expresses her feeling that they will be together forever. They will be open and honest with one another and put their all into the relationship. She wants him to be with her no matter what happens or where they go individually, even if there is craziness in their lives or obstacles they must overcome. Although she expressed her strength and independence in earlier lines, she does admit that she needs him and needs his love, each and every day. Give to me your leather... Take from me... my lace Men are supposed to be strong, and women more delicate, according to the world. She will take a little bit of his toughness, and give him some of her softness. Taking a little bit of one another will improve them as people. A good pair should complement each other. But, Stevie is telling the man to let her be the strong one for a while, and he can be weak at times, if he needs to be. You in the moonlight With your sleepy eyes Could you ever love a man like man like me This is the point at which Don Henley begins to sing his part . He is responding to Stevie's thoughts now. There are two sides to the story and, in this song, we get to hear both of them. The first time he met Stevie, he thought she was such a beautiful and special woman that she could never love him, because he thought he was not good enough for someone like her. And you were right When I walked into your house I knew I'd never want to leave He is answering what Stevie said in earlier lines. She knew when he came into her life that he would always be a part of it. And she was right, he is telling her, he had that same feeling. He wouldn't WANT to leave. So, if he ever did end up leaving, it would not be because he wanted to. They have a special connection that happened right away for both of them. Sometimes I'm a strong man Sometimes cold and scared And sometimes I cry He admits that he is not always strong. Because he is a man, he probably feels like he should be the strong one all the time. But, sometimes he does not feel that way. He even cries. So, maybe he will allow her to be the strong one at times. She wanted him to let her do that. It is good that he is opening up to her and telling her that, because she had wanted him to know that she was strong. But that time I saw you I knew with you to light my nights Somehow I'd get by First time I saw you I knew with you to light my nights Somehow I would get by When he met Stevie, he realized that she was the one who would make the bad times better for him. When he is down or doesn't feel strong, she will help him get through. He's telling her that his world was emptier and bleaker before she entered it, but now that he has her, he can survive anything with her help. Lovers forever... face to face My city or mountains Stay with me stay I need you to love me I need you to stay Give to me your leather Take from me... my lace Take from me... my lace Take from me... my lace Now they sing this together. They realized that they both feel the same way. They will be together forever. They will take care of each other. Whatever roadblocks come up, they will get through them because they have one another. Stevie needs him and he needs her. Instead of saying she needs him today, as she did earlier, Stevie looks into the future and says that she needs him to stay. It's not just the here and now, but a permanent thing. She repeats for him to take her lace, she wants to reinforce that she is there for him. | ||||||

Sunday, March 22, 2015, 7:34:38 PM- thoughts of the day ;sunshine | ||||||
A song came to me this morning at 4 a.m. but my handwriting is not so good, esp. That time of day. so help wanted a girl close at nite Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of its joy. Leo Buscaglia There is room in the smallest of cottages for a happy loving pair. Friedrich Schiller Love is all we have, the only way that each can help the other. Euripides some people r sunshine even the smallest of things brighten ur day I think that is what draws me to some people Keep your face always toward the sunshine - and shadows will fall behind you. Walt Whitman What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity. These are but trifles, to be sure; but scattered along life's pathway, the good they do is inconceivable. Joseph Addison The art of art, the glory of expression and the sunshine of the light of letters, is simplicity. Walt Whitman Those who bring sunshine into the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves. James M. Barrie Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead. Louisa May Alcott thank you for ur sunshine ! I cant do john Denver w out this song live love n laugh w passion | ||||||

I made the fillings then when it came to the wrapings il just say time went bye I thought about a tooth pick holding them together but I had none so I called a friend the answer was put them in the oven oh no so I did she called n was luckily running late I asked her to pick up a couple avocados so I could make some guacamole. I went on n made some beans n stuff she got here I went to make the guacamole n they felt like baseballs I don't have a chain saw. my blender, well it was like putting rocks in it at some point I got the burritos out of the oven the wrapings were lets just say beyond crispy n pretty dark in color thank goodness for sour cream I guess it is safest to stay in ur confort zones on first dates | ||
