I wonder if the two go hand-in-hand...or does one feeling cause the other to appear..or are they both one and the same?...

-- this is right from my myspace page --

first of all i had to figure out what the hell time it was. i have like 5 clocks in this house and they all said different things. i think i'm right now, i'll find out tomorrow when i go into work huh?i'm thinking arizona has the right idea of not doing it at all, it's less confusing for us morons.

lets see, rylen appears to like the group hoobastank, i'm listening to them and he keeps yelling 'turn it up' ok son, but i don't want the police here for disturbing the neighbors and i can already feel the music in the floor. dang party animal... he's going to be my wild one i just know it. and the kids is MEAN, whoa, he's gonna be trouble i think. i can't imagine where he got a wild streak at...

ok funny story from a few months back. we're at a chevron in hillsboro, no offense to hillsboro but it appears to be the mexican capital of portland, no one speaks english i swear. so we're getting gas and the attendant i normally get is here. he's a big sweet black man, so nice. and when i say sweet i mean 'nice' not all oohh big sweet black man, hottie... no.

'what can i get ya cheif?' he asks me. the kids mock him 'chief' they yell over and over as i try to get them to shut up without being heard from the outside, i can tell it's not working. not to mention the fact that they are calling him ' the big (meaning BIG) black man' kids say the most embarassing things and so the wrong time i swear.

'$20' i say. he walks away and then i hear him talking to the next car over. he laughs as he walks over to me. ok think reuben studdard, he looks just like him.

'did you hear that?' he asks me laughing.

'nope' thank god the kids are quiet now.

'dear god, he was speaking spanish so i in turn spoke it back, and he said -don't speak to me in spanish you're not mexican- christ ok, well then speak english' he says laughing and i laugh.

so ok, the spanish speaking citizens of america (ok hillsboro) don't want to speak english up here, but they don't want us to speak to them in spanish because we're not mexican? lordy, you got me there. i don't know how to respond. LOL

so if ya speak spanish, good for you. but if i speak spanish to you, thank me! at least i'm not screaming english at you like you can't hear, because you don't speak the language. i've seen that, oh you don't speak english, well it's not the same as being deaf. if you speak english louder to someone who doesn't, THEY STILL DON"T UNDERSTAND YOU PROFESSOR!! LOL

another funny story... geesh i jump around alot huh? LOL i'm surprised you all keep reading.

i'm headed into safeway with my then 2 year old son. he had just figured out that men are daddys. so he calls them all 'a daddy' that has become the babysitters boyfriends permanent name, but it comes out as daddy and i keep telling him, man when you're with him it looks a little funky seeing a little white boy call a black man daddy. LOL so anywho... we're walking into safeway and there is a group of chinese men standing next to the door. i'm trying to get a cart and keep the three kids from all running in different directions when rylen (he was 2) heads over to the chinese (ok they could be asian, tiawanese, i dont freaking know so i'm asuming chinese, my bad) so he walks over to them and yells 'is that my daddy?' oh christ. the men all look up at me like i'm completely wacked. 'ah nuthing better than a boy searching for his father' i say to them with a straight face. i'm not sure they spoke english but they all laughed like i was crazy so i winked and walked away. aahhh well it was funny to me...



i'm done... what was i talking about when i started this post? my day or something, i dunno i got sidetracked.. i daydream alot, so sue me... LOL you're the one who reads it, and i do appreciate it!! :)

but it happened for the best
now i am starting a new life with a wonderful man
he treats me like you never did
treats our son like his own
and i want him not you so dont call and cry about it
just let the past go and live for today

Personally, I dislike Sundays. Saturdays are much better, in fact, I propose that every day be Saturday :)

Sundays serve to remind me that Monday is tomorrow..

I never fully appreciated weekends until I became a student. However, weekends are no longer simply for relaxing..they have become two days in which to cram everything you didn't have time for in the previous five days. Oh well..a test tomorrow..patho..my favorite

I'm going to savor the two hours I have before I start studying .. Have a good day all :)

I love blogs A blank space in which to write about anything you choose. As someone who considers themselves a lover of words, this appeals to me on many levels.

I enjoy the forums as well, because there's a level of interaction there that you don't neccessarily get from blogging. However, blogs can also be a great place to write about what you think and believe without comment or debate from others.

I shall look forward to writing more as well as reading blogs set out by others.

hello my name is jackie and i have twin daughters. Im from South Wales. I enjoy going out with my friends on the weekends. I cant think of anything else if you want to know anything just ask.

oooh the wind has fallen around my tears,like a sweet thought that has grabeded my throat,
i rush the memorys of a long distant youth,
befallen sweet wind,

I was looking back through a journal I kept after my marriage ended sixteen months ago...this is an excerpt from December 2005...a month after my nearly 20-year relationship ended ... It was written during a time of confusion and pain yet looking back upon it today I find clarity where I once thought was none ...

*****************

It is winter here. A time of rest. A time of waiting. Seeds lay dormant in the earth awaiting the first rays of the spring sun. Grass sleeps beneath its blanket of snow. It doesn’t question the need for winter any more than it questions the coming of spring. It just accepts what is.

A bamboo tree lives on the corner of my dresser. Each leaf perfectly formed and each day it grows into a grander version of itself in spite of me. It does not question its new surroundings. It embraces what is.

Outside my window I can see the mountain ash towering over the neighbour’s fence. The red berries act as beacons for the birds they are meant to feed. Even in winter, there is life just as there is sacrifice.

And as much as we’d like to believe that the world stops with us when we pause, it does not. We are invited to go with it. We are asked to accept. We wish to embrace. And we strive to be grateful even in the coldest of times.

What a difference a year makes!

Is a day that I don't enjoy, more so because it means back to work on Monday morning. I appreciate the time to myself as well as time spent with friends and loved one. When one has time to themselves, it is hard not to reflect and wonder why thing's have to be the way they are, at any given time. Why some thing's never change. Why there seems to be no point at all, in other thing's. Relationship's often do that people. Whether you are in one or not, they often make you reflect on the heart. Some is with happiness and some is with sadness. Being single for such a long time, I have been able to meet myself and learn who I am and where I am going. I love the independence it has brought to me and my life, while on the other hand, it would be sweet to be leaving footprints behind in the sand, with shared heart's.

Reading back over this blog post, I guess it's safe to say that to me Sunday's are a day that really make's me think as to what is going on in my life as well as all around me. Most of it is good and happy, but there is a small part that is dark and ugly. Some of it is due to the card's that I have been dealt, while the rest is what some enjoy shoving down my throat. I do my best to tell myself that tommorow is another day and will be all the much brighter.... life can't throw much else at you when you overcome each day and look forward to the next. Just my thoughts anyway.
