Another crazy dream, but this one wasn't mine, but it was my oldest daughter's. First some background information. Our cat Raven died last June, I still dont know what happened to her, all I know is I found her in my wood pile hurt and hurt bad.
Ok. and I met this bad ass girl in my Creative Writing class named Kate. Zoe (my oldest)...

My oldest daughter woke up, called me to her and told me "Happy Father's Day" and then went back to sleep.

I am still reading Constancia and Other Stories for Virgins by Carlos Fuentes.

Today I will just hang out with family, and probably get a couple of bike rides in with the girls...

I need $$ so I can put together these two classic Schwinns. They just need wheels and tires to be done.

I need a job too just to surive, but it is hard to find one where I can get one Friday off in a couple of weeks, and two weeks off in July, and then quit in August for my normal job and school....

It is official. I am an English major.

I restructured my classes for next semester, and have 15hrs, all of which are English classes. I now have The Bible as Literature, American Literature, Major Authors, Ethnic and Minority Literature, and The History of English and Grammar.

I bet the end of next semester is going to be DEATH. I look forward to it

Encouraging news, I hope it all works out...

I went to back to school in the fall of 2007 as a Elementary Ed major with an emphasis in Literacy. I have decided that I would much rather be an English Major because I love literature.

If I change my major to English (Liberal Arts) I could drop my Math and Education classes for next semester,...

We are now moving from writing poetry to writing fiction in this summer workshop class of mine.

Honestly, I did well during the poetry section, and I should stop and share a little bit of my work, at some point I will.

I am a bit worried about the fiction, this is something I have never done. Or done well. I am also excited about...

This weekend was quiet, just as I expected. I read 4 short stories, plus tons of poetry in those four books I checked out. I edited some of my poetry. I also slept a TON.

And of course, I spent a couple of nights with her

Anybody doing anything interesting for the weekend?

I checked out some poetry by Kerouac, Ginsberg, and Garcia-Lorca to read. I also checked out videos that are interviews of Ginsberg, Soto, and Sandra Cisneros.

The weather isnt really good here, windy as hell with rain. So it is a good weekend to hang out, read, write, and drink tea....

Ok, so I am getting tired of being alone. I mean, I hate getting up alone, going to bed alone, and all that jazz. I would love to be with someone that is intelligent, well read, and funny. I live in a small town, the dating pool is SMALL. ugh. That being said, I dont need someone to "complete" me, I want somebody to share...
