It was Private Joker's way of trying to relieve tension of the Tet Offensive, in which they all were going to have to bite the shit sandwich. Hence, my lil attempt to relieve tension.
I have been more pessmistic in recent weeks than I let on, so I just choose to not address the above Journal... no offense. It's like Tom Waits said - the whole world's on fire. And I just read that a friend on here has a tumor which is way more serious than I knew, and I thought I knew.
I'll tell you what - it is a rare and fleeting few who are actually who or where they thought they would be at this juncture. I certainly wouldn't have imagined my happiness lay in the hands of a man whom I could not have known 10 years ago, or that my sheer purpose in this world still manages to be molded, like the silly putty she works into art, by my daughter. The methods with which I thought were my destined path of difference making and self empowering message bearing have all gone to the wayside (i.e. I am not travelling the world writing and singing and enlightening the world with my brilliant compostion abilities). But I have still managed to create a canvas that is spectacular and grand within our family and our children and if possible, had a greater impact than anything else I might have done.
I made a choice.
We still have that.
And bleak as it all becomes on a daily - if not minute by minute basis - it is what you make it. I made a finite decision to protect this tribe of ours and barricade the bullshit. I am aware that it exists - I am aware of what my role is within it. But - I do not have to be sucked into the muck of it.
It's a grand exercise in shifting and rearranging.
My prophetic side needs more stimulation.
This is a sign that I should stop.
Now.
initially i thought it was, as in 'Black Uhuru' considering when we first met it was through a love of Ska and Reggae,but no, not the case.She was involved with the ANC supporters group when she was about 16/17 and Uhuru was part of a slogan/chant that they used.....ill find out what the whole thing was.
i havent heard of a lot on that list of yours but then there are some id totally forgotten about......yikes!!
woohoo - WPF & JP non-stop man love a go-go - now that is a film festival waiting to happen.
thanks for your thought on the writing, my dear. to steal a line from 16 candles, that is why they call them crushes, huh?
my goodness - i've just read your entry. that was absolutely gorgeous - excruciating, excoriating, and deeply grievous - but beyond important. you have an insightful soul, mr. fight. everything you say has truth in it, and yet, each day is still another opportunity to break a little bit of light into the chaos. i am sending you that little light right now.
as if we are all homer simpsons wishing we were fishing while our wives our sleeping
sheep dream of other sheep
its a way to think that our hero will be an iron masked myscreant working in the back of a food shelf
one day the camels will be an endangered species
targeted for the possibility of housing weapons of warfare inside
their humps
:::damn, thats some change to dump into you cd player, you opening up a shop?
