just for you

Imagine

a story

written

just for you

eyes you say?

It’s in the eyes she says, and yet she can’t quite remember the color of those particular eyes…

 

what does it mean?

“It’s imperceptible, the lengths taken to become what one does not understand.”

it's the start of something.

Imprisoned by our movements,

Marshaled by our memories.

rambling

Awkwardly wondering,

Falsely hoping,

Meekly imagining.

a HAIKU I think

My attempt at a Haiku. I don’t think it’s completely proper, but it does follow the 5-7-5 pattern.

A lover’s meet cue,

Stars shine on merry makers.

Obvious pattern.

Imagine, the impossible

Are they signs...

Currently annoyed at the book I started yesterday…. It’s part of a sort of mystery series… the problem being the last one left you thinking certain things might happen, and yet this one picks up 2 years later makes you start to wonder because the same characters are still there, but suddenly you realize that they are married to different people? Not even sure if the main character is married or just continues to talk about his former wife…. There is something very different about this one and I begin to like the main character less, and less. There is something the author isn’t telling us… 

 

On another note, sang Happy Birthday on command last night to a customer.  She is an interesting character indeed… and I actually, my voice didn’t crack or do anything weird… I also think that that is the lowest key I’ve ever sang happy Birthday in. It was very interesting… J

"People try so hard to believe in leaders now, pitifully hard. But we no sooner get a popular reformer or politician or soldier or writer or philosopher—a Roosevelt, a Tolstoy, a Wood, a Shaw, a Nietzsche, than the cross-currents of criticism wash him away. My Lord, no man can stand prominence these days. It's the surest path to obscurity. People get sick of hearing the same name over and over."

-F. Scott Fitzgerald

I don’t know precisely when he said this, but Fitzgerald passed away from here in 1940. I can’t imagine what he might say about our leaders and our society now…

word OF THE DAY # 4 ?

I LOST TRACK… OOPS short word today

EMISSARY (35)

: representative, usually of a government persuasion.

Your Age in Days

Date: 11 - 5 - 1980 (MM-DD-YYYY).

You are 11397 days old.
That's 1628 weeks and 1 days.
Which is 31 years and 75 days, including 7 leap years*.
(= 31 years, 10 weeks and 5 days.)
In other words, that's 375 months.
Therefore, you are 31.2 years old.

You were born on a Wednesday, your last birthday was a Saturday
and your next one will be on a Monday.

That’s pretty scary….

Quote Of The Day

"Friends, both the imaginary ones you build for yourself out of phrases taken from a living writer, or real ones from college, and relatives, despite all the waste of ceremony and fakery and the fact that out of an hour of conversation you may have only five minutes in which the old entente reappears, are the only real means for foreign ideas to enter your brain."

-Nicholson Baker

I am still pondering the meaning and affects of this quote…

Word of the day # 3

obstreperous (140)

Encarta : noisy and aggressively boisterous

Read this word in the wee hours of the morning, in a book by Emma Bull – an author that I definitely think I am going to appreciate.

To quote "Come along, my obstreperous primrose. Everything will be improved by a night's sleep and a day's reflection."

- The Phouka, Emma Bull, The War of the Oaks

I had a mild idea what it might mean, but had to find out for sure this morning.

unfinished... ?

What caused me to bend, and bow to whims?

What brought me to the point of hiding, losing?

He did not ask me to change these things.

He even voiced that which he thought more likely.

Yet he was so sure, so unlikely to alter…
