No not really giving up I am going to finish it come hell or high water this weekend. But I needed to make progress on another book to make sure I could still read. The book is just really hard to finish. I think that I am just not likely to finish all of them by the end of August.

Cute dog by the way. I love the Alamosa area for pets. So much space for them.

I want a partner that is a strong woman. Creative. Powerful.

We stayed with my cousin this weekend, and it was an interesting experience. She hen pecks her husband, terribly. He is so miserable but would never admit it, you can see it in his body language and actions though. When I got him away from her he was great, perked right up and talked...

people suck tongue

seriously, most people are awful and should have never existed.
kowtow:
UGH is right. I empathize with you on so many fronts. I have people in my life that are like your cousin, big words and bravado. I really pretty firmly believe that still waters run very deep.

As for the strong woman... have you ever heard Jens Lekman? He has this song called "Someone to share my life with". I don't know what your musical tastes are, but he is of the Nick Drake ilk. There is nothing worse than being in a relationship based around care taking.

I am lost without a bicycle. Money was tight this summer, so I did not finish the two classic Schwinn bikes I am building. One will be my commuter, the other my trainer. So I have been riding my Specialized mountain bike for everything. I broke a pedal on Friday.

I managed to get free clipless pedals awhile back, I just hadn't them on because...

Today, me and my daughters rode our bikes to a pond and tried to catch frogs and snakes. We managed to catch one crawdad and that was it. The frogs were too quick for my girls to just grab with their hands. We saw one that still had his tadpole tail...

I have to write two papers, one on the Spanish Civil War in Film and one Vampires, Aztec Mummies, and Wrestling Women. Both of these were my summer workshops. They were great classes because the prof was fantastic.

I am starting with the Spanish Civil War and tying the class with what I know of Pablo Neruda's politics.

Otherwise, summer is coming to an end....

vertebra:
both.
if you read here poems they are really male chauvinist (? . i 'm trying to say the word "machista" that's what the dictionray says =/ . i have no clue if it'll make sense tongue). the metaphores he uses always portrait that women are beautiful just if they don't talk, don't have an opinion, and are really no important at all.


i have no idea if i'm making any sense tongue

what i'm trying to say is that i don't think that verse about how awsome it is when woman don't talk should be consider romantic.


arg, i hate that guy blackeyed

does this make any sense?
my english is poor when trying to explain myself sometimes tongue
vertebra:
well, tht cause his ego is bigger that any love he could feel !!

he left Delia del carril (aka "la hormiguita") to be with matilde urrutia. Delia del carril is an artist and i think it was a powerful woman, that's know for more than just being "pabloneruda"s wife" . and i think that 's just why he left her tongue . he needed a pretty girl to stay buy his side, that wouldn't think or do anything else besides being his wife. he needed to be the smart and cool one of the relationship.

well, matilde urrutia was a good friend of delia del carril before she end hooking up with pablo neruda, so she diserved to be cheat after that tongue

you should look up for the relationship he had with other poets of the time, pablo de rokha, and vicente garcia huidobro, there are some funny hate letters they used to send to each other smile

I am quitting school, selling everything I have and I am going to travel the world counting donkeys. Why? Because according to Wikipedia:

"There are about 44 million donkeys today. China has the most with 11 million, followed by Ethiopia and Mexico. Some researchers think the real number is higher since many donkeys go uncounted."

We cannot afford to have an inaccurate census of ass...

I just got back from my bike ride... I saw two elk where I never have seen elk before. I saw about six mule deer does, two bucks, two jackrabbits and a coyote in a field.

Wrote a haiku.

Had to turn around on a dirt road because of a dog blocking my path. I really didn't want to challenge him, and got chased by...

So, I have been involved in this relationship for about two years now. It is kind of a tragic love affair. We had a blow up on Sunday night, and we didnt talk yesterday. Amazingly, I am very calm and confident and I feel this had to happen to get things on the right track even if it means we go our seperate ways.

The...

thank you for commenting on my set!

i know what you mean...i'm very independent, but i'm terrified of being alone. i hope everything works out for you!
vertebra:
i think that makes a lot of sense ( the part on you being fear of being al one but not needing people)

i feel the same way, as i don't need or like people that much, i could bet i'll end up and old grumpi lonely lady one day. and that's pretty scary frown
