To put the world in order, we must first put the nation in order; to put the nation in order, we must first put the family in order; to put the family in order, we must first cultivate our personal life; we must first set our hearts right.
~Confucius
Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that.
~Walt Disney
Start by doing what's necessary, then what's possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible.

You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing you think you cannot do.

4:42 pm - The 3 month dry spell slowly ends....
|
I think I'm in love with Elmo, Alaska, even if it is fictitious.
And I definitely adore Jack, even though he is most definitely a figment of hollywood.
Eh, my reality is seriously lacking so a little fantasy certainly won't hurt.
I'm so happy that The Amazing Race is back on. I still miss the hippies, though. Anyway, will someone please explain to me why it is that gay men are far more effeminate than any female I have ever known??????

12:28 am - The Ten Tenors
|
The Ten Tenors have announced a 3 month partial US tour --including one stop each in Washington and Oregon. Outstanding. Granted, I'd rather see them in Australia, but who am I kidding? I'll take whatever show of theirs, in whatever city, I can get.
Listen to "Destiny Lies".

12:53 am - Believe in you...
|
Somewhere there's a river
Looking for a stream
Somewhere there's a dreamer
Looking for a dream
Somewhere there's a drifter
Trying to find his way
Somewhere someone's waiting
To hear somebody say
I believe in you
I can't even count the ways that
I believe in you
And all I want to do is help you to
Believe in you
Somewhere there's an angel
Trying to earn his wings
Somewhere there's a silent voice
Learning how to sing
Some of us can't move ahead
We're paralyzed with fear
And everybody's listening
'Cause we all need to hear
I will hold you up
I will help you stand
I will comfort you when you need a friend
I will be the voice that's calling out
I believe in you
I can't even count the ways that
I believe in you
And all I want to do is show you
I believe in you
And there are just so many ways that
I believe in you
Baby, what else can I do but believe in you - believe in you
All I want to know is you believe - believe in you

10:56 pm - Yeah, I'm a stripper
|
I want the temps to go back above 100* so then I can hear everyone bitch and moan about the heat. SUCK IT UP. You know how your body feels at 100? Yeah, well, that's precisely how my body feels at 70 when it's socially acceptable for you to prance around like a fairy, smiling about the weather and giving me shit about my lack of joy. Ask me if I care about your misery now. No, really. 70 or 100, it's all the same to me.
God I wish I could get out of this hellish nightmare of a town I find myself eternally trapped in. The ONLY thing keeping me here is my head.....I am &^%$@&^*% trapped.
So anyway.....Not sure anything would make me happy right now. I'm just a bit exhausted after battling 32 hours straight of excrutiating pain, not to mention the 16+ of mild, but steady, pain before that....I needed today to recover. While my head was considerably better, I was still seeing stars and losing my balance this afternoon. Instead of sleeping and refreshing my worn out soul, I'm expected to slap on a smile and pretend like my life is great while I handle responsibilities that suck all of my energy into some giant wasteland I can never visit.
I am not pleased. And yet, by some ironic twist of fate, I am relatively pain-free at this very moment in time. You know, I'd just like to be pain-free long enough to actually get around to enjoying it. Is that too much to ask?

10:12 pm - Migraine help?
|
Unbelievable pain woke me up somewhere around o'dark 30 last night. If pain can kill a person --not the cause of the pain, just the feeling of extreme pain itself -- I was hopeful that would do me in. It didn't. It's never that easy.
I worked 1/2 a day today but now it's drugs and a cold, dark room for me again....and if anything/anyone wakes me up, Lord have mercy on their soul because I will not.
I'm such a fun girl............
This monster is changing yet again. I fought nausea most of the morning, and while the pain was absent for awhile, it felt like someone was blowing up a balloon inside my head. Add to that a feeling of muscles saturated in lactic acid and I was/am pretty miserable today. The pain is back with such a vengeance this evening. I wonder if this will ever end...

4:46 pm - Crippled anger...
|
I want a life without pain.
And if such a thing cannot exist for me, then I want nothing.
This battle with my head has raged on for far too long. My resolve is exhausted; my desire to win, diminished.
In the midst of the last two weeks of reduced pain, I was grateful. But as I quickly gain momentum on the downhill run, back into an oblivion of pain and isolation that no one else can understand, grateful is a word seemingly erased from my realm of comprehension.

8:06 pm - Former Marine fends off Atlanta robbers
|
Best article ever:
Tue May 30, 11:22 AM ET
ATLANTA - A former Marine used a pocket knife to fend off a group of would-be robbers, killing one and wounding another, police said.
Thomas Autry, who authorities said will not be charged, had been walking home from his job waiting tables Monday night when four people got out of a car and chased him, Atlanta police detective Danny Stephens said.
One of the attackers had a shotgun and another had a pistol, Stephens said.
The suspects caught up with Autry, who yelled for help and pulled a knife out of his backpack. He kicked the shotgun out of one of the attacker's hands and stabbed both a 17-year-old girl who jumped on him and a man who also attacked him.
The suspects fled in their car but police found them later at a hospital where the girl was pronounced dead. The man stabbed in the incident was in critical condition, Stephens said.
Autry's attackers will face robbery and aggravated assault charges and are suspected in other robberies over the past week, Stephen said.
Stephens credited Autry's military training with helping him fend off the group.
"I would say he had to do what he had to do to stop the threat," Stephens said. "You can tell his training kicked in and he knew what to do."
Autry, 36, suffered a cut to his hand and a bruise on his chest, Stephens said.

11:11 am - Forget Regret
|
There's only us
There's only this
Forget regret or life is yours to miss
There's only now
There's only here
Give in to love
Or live in fear
No other path
No other way
No day but today

6:52 pm - Seasons of Love
|
525,600 minutes
525,600 moments so dear
525,600 minutes
How do you measure - measure a year?
In daylights - in sunsets
In midnights - in cups of coffee
In inches - in miles
In laughter - in strife
In 525,600 minutes
How do you measure
A year in the life?
How about love?
How about love?
How about love?
Measure in love
Seasons of love.
Seasons of love.
525,600 minutes
525,600 journeys to plan
525,600 minutes
How do you measure the life
Of a woman or a man?
In truths that she learned
Or in times that he cried
In bridges he burned
Or the way that she died
It's time now - to sing out
Though the story never ends
Let's celebrate
Remember a year in the life of friends
Remember the love
Remember the love
Remember the love
Measure in love
Oh you got to remember the love,
You know that love is a gift from up above
Share love, give love, spread love
Measure, measure your life in love.
ohhhhh!!!!
Seasons of love.......
Measure your life in love
