We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life Chivalry, intelligent conversation, respect, honest dealings... many things are said to be "a lost art" nowadays. But nothing is a lost art, unless it’s a statue or painting that has been sunk... in a river... of lava. I just need to be cherry-bombed one time to get to the next level... Anyone that knows me, knows that I don't normally ask for this stuff, and those that don't will just have to take my word for it... Can anyone help? Please and thank you... Chivalry never died. The gentleman in most men did. Being male is a matter of birth. Being a man is a matter of age. But, being a gentleman is a matter of choice. And I try to make that choice every day. Happy Anniversary to me... One year on fubar... Where did the time go?? Hey Cupid, Your aim sucks. Put down the bow and step away before things get out of hand. I need a weekend do-over... Stupid Monday... how dare you sneak up on me after only 2 days... This hump day will require Luscious Limeades and even more Luscious Lips to survive... Luckily, it's all down here after today!! Right?? Today it's tequila and teddy bears to triumph over Tuesday... Enjoy!! Margaritas and massages to make it through this miserable thing called Monday... Who's interested?? Probably won't be online much as I travel for the next couple weeks... Happy holidays to all... and to those that really matter to me (you know who you are) I will miss you!!! To those who came before me, those I served with, and those who serve today, I offer my respect and my undying gratitude. I salute you all! Happy Veterans Day!! GGRRRRRR... This doesn't feel like a Tuesday... more like Monday 2.0. (fu) I'll be Fu-quiet for the next week or so... gotta go out of town for work and it will be a crazy busy trip. Miss me. Love me. Think fondly of me while I am gone. Give me your lips, the lips you only let me borrow
Love me tonight and let the devil take tomorrow
I know that I must have your kiss although it dooms me
Though it consumes me, the kiss of fire - Louis Armstrong 12 years ago, I was shocked when I heard the news on the way to work of what was happening. I turned around, went home, hugged my children, and tried to explain it to them in a way that made sense... it still doesn't make sense. Never forget! I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, It's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, And that enables you to laugh at life's realities. ~Dr. Seuss I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by. ~Douglas Adams (He must have known there would be days like this...) Apparently I need some photo rates to level up... so I found some old ones and a couple recent ones on my computer and added them... Let's see what happens. Why is the rum gone? Wait, the whiskey is gone too?? And the scotch? WTF??? |
