Here cats & kitties is an oldie but a goodie:
This Love Has Interrupted Me
It's emptied my pens of all the ink,
crumpled up the paper,
shorted out the circuits
and busted every light bulb.
It's let dust settle on my dashboard,
twisted tapes up in the tapedeck,
gathered coffee in the floormats
and used up all my quarters.
It's scattered my bedroom floor...

A Simile For Her Smile
Your smiling, or the hope, the thought of it,
Makes in my mind such pause and abrupt ease
As when the highway bridgegates fall,
Balking the hasty traffic, which must sit
On each side massed and staring, while
Deliberately the drawbridge starts to rise:
Then the horns are hushed, the oilsmoke rarefies,
Above the idling motors one can tell

Yes...went to The Boards & saw the scoop. So, I'll have to put another one of mine up tomorrow.

Did I tell you that? You're awesome.

King Crimson was amazing! 
My friend Rob had tagged along for a meet and greet earlier in the afternoon...Trey Gunn for those of you who give a shit. My ex, Amanda and her beau Keith caught up w/ us at the venue. Since most of the crew & staff at Toad's are Amanda's piercing customers or tattooed at Studio Zee in general, we were able...

Wowie! It sounds like you had quite the weekend. Lots n' lots of fun (with the exception of the monitor snafu). I just recently went flat screen with my monitor, and I love it! It only cost $200 after the rebate. Well worth the money for the saved space, and lack of flicker, annoying buzzing, scary emissions et other whatnot annoyances.
Re: 12/14 comment
I'm still spinning my wheels to a certain extent, but just coming to terms with the fact that I don't have to become anything other than myself has been very liberating. We shall see what Dr. Feelings has to say about it when next we speak.
Thanks, as always for your friendly words.

Tee hee! Yes, staying home sick is much more fun when one has no errands to run, lots of wood for the fire, a bottle of brandy, a bag of green and nothing to do but chill n' whatever. 
Yay...picture change! I have to buy this movie on DVD in order to milk out some great screen captures. I only have a few so, I'll have to rotate every week or so.
So...what's new. Library books I'm re-reading before returning- This fantastic book on Arabic script, calligraphy and ornamentation... Some of it reminds me of this book of Islamic design I own, that's not...

hello cute boy. I wrote my update then I took a shower downstairs. That bathroom may not be pretty but the water gets nice and hot. You really need a good hot shower after a nursing home shift.
THings that will be great moving out of this house: +ability to chant mantras without mom freaking out. SHe hates all chanting of anything. weird pet peive. +ability to cook and prepare food in a clean environment of course. I was so happy with my sandwhich that I mad emyself for work today. I made more for the rest of the weekend, but miracle if she doesn't touch them. Of course there's other food as a sort of bait.... ben and jerrys was 2/5$.
I miss you very very much. `
roar roar roar roar.

So...I think controlled or predictable violence is absolutely bizarre. In working w/ the mentally disabled one, of course, meets a gigantic cast of chartacters-some cool, some not, some in genuine need, some just needy...just like any other section of the population.
What makes my smaller section of that slice different are out-of-sorts compulsive behavior, some remarkably violent compulsive behavior. The last group home I worked...

ITunes playing: Tool - Undertow. This album brings back a lot of memories for me, both good and bad. It came out while I was a bright-eyed and bushy tailed senior in high school. It was remarkable as a musician for it's stark, well-produced minimalism-everything within the mix serves an obvious function, everything else can be trimmed. That made up my emotional ideal for the...

Thank you so much for the kind words. I really appreciate them more than I can properly express. Circumstances may require that I go anonymous again and move my journal to another forum, but if I do I will let you know this time (that is if you want me to and stuff). Hopefully, I will be able to stay for awhile as I work things out.
Thank you as well for the book recommendation. I have added it to my list. Is it something that one should own, or would borrowing it from the library suffice? (I have bookstore connections that could hook me up with an inexpensive copy. I love my bookstore friends.)
Re: Landmark. It is interesting that AlienPrincess mentions it, because I have a friend who was very involved with it a few years ago. Trippy, huh?

nice picture...I love that movie...
Well, things are looking up... After four and half hours of meetings on my day off, I came back home, ate dinner & relegated myself to sit in front of this monitor and pound out the report I have due on Friday. I've been working on it for the past hour and it turns out this'll be a breeze...all my feet dragging for nothing. I've...

ITunes playing: Emmylou Harris - Wrecking Ball...it makes me jealous of my friend who had use of a grain silo for his recording studio's reverb chamber. I can only imagine how amazing an old fashioned wishing well would be. I was fortunate to catch an NPR story of a bloke in Canada using a decommissioned missle silo for the same purpose. They had audio samples...

11 is fine. I dunno if you want to have coffee, we could even make some over here. you could call at ten if you wanted. I posted a testemonial for you. You are very lucky I am nice and didn't get descriptive about where your freckles are. I love you soooooo much

I'm sure you already have...but if you havnt...pay attention to the last 20-30 something seconds of 'A Day in the Life' by the Beatles. Now thats impressive.
I should add another entry to the "Fantasy" section below: Being able to call in sick at work when I'm genuinely sick. Being important at work sucks! 
I have that wonderful runny nose/sore throat/snot stomach combo which points to sinus infection...joy.
