Hey all!
I hope you all had a great week. Mine was a little weird.
Yesterday was my dad's birthday, So I spent the whole day with him. We had a great time. He had wanted to play golf in the morning, but the weather didn't cooperate. We talked, listened to music, and ate cake all day. My dad is a disc jockey at one of the local radio stations here. His station plays classic rock all of the time, but he cannot be pigeon-holed into just that one genre. He is always longing for the days of when rock stations played music from many genres, rock, metal, R&B, soul, punk, etc. I think that I have my love of all kinds of music because of him. He is always turning me on to new artists, and old ones I have never heard of. I guess what I am trying to say, without running on and on, is I Love You Dad! Thank you for being who you are and accepting me for who I am! You too Mom, but I will get to you on your birthday. lol
I also had a strange and disturbing experience with Ebay. I buy stuff periodically on there. Every purchase has been a pleasant one. I have gotten some real quality stuff from there and saved a lot of money doing it. Well in early August I ordered some vitamins and I hadn't received in 3 weeks. So I emailed the seller on Monday. I didn't get an answer so I emailed him again on Wednesday, and again on Thursday - no answer. So I opened a dispute with PayPal. I emailed the seller again yesterday morning advising that I would be escalating the issue to a complaint due to his lack of response, which I did. Well last night I finally got a response from the seller. He explained that the reason for the delay in shipping my product, which I ordered on August 3, was because he was a disabled vet. That he finally shipped it on September 3rd and that I should be thankful to him that he defended my freedom. Now I am all for supporting our troops. My dad fought in Viet Nam and my gramps fought in World War II. What I don't understand is why this guy is trying to make me feel guilty about him slacking off, and what the heck does him being a vet have to do with waiting a month to ship something. I have yet to receive the item also. Am I wrong for being a little disturbed by his explanation/excuse? I think I gave him ample time, and I did attempt to contact him several times to find out what was going on. Am I supposed to give him a free ride because he defended our freedom? I'm just puzzled.
Okay, I'm done with my whining now.
I did finish writing a few poems this week too. So I will post them here. I will forewarn you, they are a bit gay. But so am I! lol Oops! I outed myself again!

I will be posting another poem later in the week that one of my friends wrote. I just think it's awesome, insightful, and very emotional. I think it deserves it's own blog spot so I will post it on it's own.


I Love Girls

When I was five, I loved a girl
Jeanie was her name
She was my very best friend
I know she felt the same
I'd always plant one on her cheek
At the end of the day
That was, until my mother cried
"You shouldn't behave that way"

"She's not a cousin - not a sister
She's a girl - You shouldn't kiss her"

But I love Girls
How can this be wrong?
There is no sweeter melody
Calling to me like a Siren's song
Whenever I am with them
I know I belong
Precious pretty pearls - Girls

Kathy caught my eye in Junior High
She thought Oasis was boss
We cut gym to work on
Our Marlboro cigarette coughs
Long golden hair, dark chocolate eyes
That could make me melt
What would be the harm
If I told her how I felt?

But I said too much, my words betrayed me
Is this the way my heart repays me?

I love Girls
But I guess she's not for me
She'd rather sing a different song
One with boys doing harmony
I felt so bad inside
That's not how it should be
Confusion in me swirls - Girls

Uncertainty had a hold on me
Do I dare care again?
And then I found Gwen
She said she knew she loved me too
And when our lips met
It was Kismet
She's still my favorite girl

Now I have women friends
They're sexy, fun and wise
And I can still see the girls
Shyly smiling behind their eyes
We hug hello, we kiss goodbye
It's simple as can be
I'm not afraid to say and show
All that they mean to me

Just as it's been from the start
It's the female that wins my heart

I love Girls
It's a feeling oh so strong
There is no sweeter melody
Calling to me like a Siren's song
Whenever I am with them
I know I belong
Wavy, straight or curls
Precious pretty pearls
They set my heart a whirl
Girls


Michelle

maybe it's better to forget about you
yet I know it's too late for that
I remember you in my arms
and the couch where we sat
the laughs we shared
the times we went fishing
big, brown almond eyes
and lips meant for kissing
how you worked on cars
and played with tools
us dancing in the rain
acting like fools
how your touch
made me shiver
how mine
made you quiver
these are things I won't forget
much love always my Michelle
forever in my heart
you shall dwell
