And The Days Go By......Like A Strand In The Wind
Well on to work tonight. Whats new there? LOL. There really has not been alot going on with me. I have just ben keeping to myself and reading the book that my boyfriend gave me for Valentines Day entitled GAY WICCA. It is a very informative book and am enjoying it very much.
My favorite show The Anna Nicole Show Season 2 premieres this Sunday night at 10pm (EST). I am soo excited about that. The only bummer is that CBS is premiering The Salem Witch Trials Movie at 9pm. So I with the VCR broken am going to have to make a dedision on which to watch. I am thinking Anna. Cause everyone knows the outcome of the witch trials.
The Grammy's certainly were not and are not anything to brag about. The performaces sucked major ass. Why didn't ANYONE escort that tired bitch Ashanti off the stage with her tag along day care entourage? Norah Jones? Yeah right,no one even knew who this lounge star turned instant famer was until recently when all the Grammy Publicity began arriving. Her music? Well, nice for those old farts who enjoy a nice glass of wine mixed with their daily regimine of Prozac. And N'SYNC doing a BEE GEES Salute? Darren Hayes could have done a better job and that in itself isnt a great thing. And Avril was simply pathetic. She looked as if she was simply throwing a tantrum with all her jumping up and down. Robin Williams acceptance speech was utterly ridicoulous. I didnt care for him when he landed on Earth in an Egg on Mork And MIndy and EGG is certainly what he had hanging all over his face after this speech.

Well,My grandmother is feeling much better. She has been placed on Heparin 60mg SQ Q12hrs. It seems that she has a blood clot. So with minimal movement and the Heparin Therapy she should be OK.
While visiting her in the hospitol I ran into an old friend of mine who still works there. She was giving me the "Low Down" on all the gossip that is happening behind the walls of the hospitol. The one "Dish" that really floored me was the arrest of a nurse that was going to take place by the DEA today. Seems a male nurse they had employed for a short time has been legally charged with 18 Felony Counts for Stealing and Using Narcotics. He would literally chart the patients were getting Morphine,Demerol and Vicodin Every HOUR ON THE HOUR when in fact they were not. He had stolen other employess passwords to enter into the Locked Password Inclined Narcotic Machine as well,so it wouldn't look as if HE was the only one going in and out of it removing drugs. The STUPID mistake he made was writing that COHERENT Patients (Who could be asked if they received pain medication) asked for the Narcotic. Of course,suspicion arose and they ASKED these Patients. And they said NO. The other way they caught him is, the hospitol has what they call BADGE LOCATERS, which are these clip on Star Trek looking devices that can locate a nurse anywhere in the building if they are needed. Example: Patient rings out for assistance,The nurse can not be found,they type in their locater number and it will read what room they are in,If they are off of the floor and etc. Well these devices contain history of your where abouts for a certain amount of time. So they typed his locater number in and it showed that he had only entered into that particular room (the room for most narcotic takeouts) only TWICE in a 12 hour period. Can we say BUSTED!!! Can we say IDIOT!!! This poor boy was simply an Amateur in this field of Expertise. I would have schooled him for a small fee and a cut in profits a few months ago. I worked that same place and was forced to wear the same badge locater for years and managed just fine with my addiction. OK....I really should stop now...THIS is NOT something to be proud of.......Maybe I can still help. Maybe I can introduce him to Christine......(pondering)
I wish all everyone luck on the Atkins Diet. I have done this diet many times and it is the ONLY diet that works for me. You guys forget what people say about the diet and go for it. The only thing i could NOT do was give up my Sweet Tea. So I would always simply incorporate 16 mg's of Carbs in my diet everyday. Which isn't much. It only balanced out to 2 slices of bread a day. BUT even with doing this I would lose 30 pounds in a month every time. I wish all of you good luck....but you all look fine to me.
I ran into a physician last night in the Nursing home who I have known for a while. He is Gay, Some what attractive, A sweet guy ,a bit older and in the past I have actually used his services. I asked him how his Valentines Holiday was (trying to make small talk) and he replies " I didn't do much of anything, I don't have a "Valentine" right now and I never know what to say to someone who I would like to talk to". So i said to him "well you are an attractive guy so there isn't any need to be shy PLUS you ARE a DOCTOR who wouldn't want to get to know you". His reply "Well thank you I appreciate that....Would you like to have dinner with me?" I begin thinking to myself "What the hell have i done...I was ONLY trying to be nice to him,He is cute but isn't THAT cute....what am I going to do now....Open mouth insert foot". So i reply "I would love too...let me know when and I will see if my boyfriend will be able to attend too"..............I am sure this is NOT the reply he was searching for.
OK....I am really feeling terrible,My grandmother,My fathers mother,who is not one of my favorite people in the world was rushed to the hospitol this morning. Its a love /hate relationship. A long story and one that i dont care to share with many. Why I am feeling so terrible is that I made the comment the other day "She is so mean and hateful that when she dies I won't go the funeral" (I know..I know... I am terible and say things alot of times that I shouldn't)...now here she is in the hospitol with either a Cardiac Chest Wall Infection or a Heart Attack (Blood tests still pending). She had a triple Cardiac ByPass a few years ago and the doctor said then that judging by her heart & the surgery she had another 20 years to go atleast,as far as her heart was concerned. Of course then I made the comment,that "The old Battle Ax would out live me". I have NO Idea why i say the things I do sometimes. As I think them I automatically SAY them. Its a disorder I am certain.

Well... I just returned from The Valentines Trip,Ocracoke,NC, with the BF. Only to arrive home to much colder,snowy and "Slushy" conditions. Tom and I had a wonderful time. It was so great to get out of town with him again. He actually let me sleep in a bit on Saturday which was really sweet but in truth i didn't want to. I wanted to get up early and have him and I go sight seeing. But we did that later anyway. Had a wonderful dinner at a place called "Howards Pub". The ONLY thing about the dinner was that Tom had somehow been elected the Town Weatherman and Places Of Interest Contact. We even had a guy come up to the table and ask him things. Finally, they left us alone. There did come a point that I wanted to get up and start applauding and say "OK....OK....SHOW IS OVER.....HE HAS TO EAT GODDAMMIT!!!!"----But I refrained.
The B & B was really nice. When you first walk in you to the place, i instantly FELT that i had entered into another realm. The atmosphere is so serene .....I really wish I had brought my writing tablet because I truly felt inspired. I also found it to be stimulating and truly made me want to create. Almost as if it were calling me. We are definetely returning there. OH and before I forget, this one shop there sells THE BEST home made soaps. While i was lathering in the shower I wanted to cry out and moan as if I were in one of those HERBAL ESSENCE Commercials.
I could get into the whole story of "Me TRYING to go to sleep last night"....BUT i think to much of Tom to do that to him here. (wink)
I brought my nephew one of those SEA MONKEY kits. Where you can put these SEA MONKEY Eggs in a bowl and feed them and they are SUPPOSE to hatch. The box says they are Guaranteed for 2 years. LMAO. WELL...evidently this was NOT tested with my 6 y.o. nephew. I gave him the gift and returned to my room to get ready for the out of town trip only to re-emerge and find he had opened it entirely. i looked around the room for the fish bowl and found it empty on the dresser. I asked A.J. (my nephew) where were his Sea Monkeys since they were NOT in the fish bowl? His reply:"Unc.....I put them in the toilet and PEED on them.....I Wanna see IF they can grow in THAT!!!!". God Love Him.
I am so excited to have just found out that one of my favorite actresses,Delta Burke,is filming a television sitcom pilot for the WB Network. It will be great to have her back in comedy action where she belongs. She is truly one of the most under rated comedic televsion actresses i know. Nominated twice for an Emmy while playing Suzanne Sugarbaker on televisions Desigining Women,but unfortuantely never won.
Stevie Nicks talking to US MAGAZINE in relation to her 5 year addiction to physician prescribed KLONOPIN.
" THE WHOLE PSYCHIATRIC WORLD THINKS THAT THEY CAN CURE ANYTHING BUT IT NEARLY KILLED ME.....I TURNED INTO A PERSON WITHOUT A SOUL".
You slice your love with razors
On a piece of a glass
Then laugh aloud like a Mad Hatter
But in truth,it never lasts
I have sat around your table
With that love up to my nose
But never did I dream
It would demand complete control
Now I see the hardest part
Well------Atleast it was for me.....
Pretending to be happy......fulfilled
An aroma of tranquility
I chose to go back to Tarot
Hide in my Sanctuary
And emerge how I once was
And it was worth the price---------to be free

With all the talk about another terriorst attack and The President placing us on "High Alert",my mind wanders back to the attacks on Sept 11th 2001. For comfort, I began reading Stevie Nicks's journal entries that she has published during the hideous Twin Towers disaster. By being in New York at the time of the attacks through her traveling on the TISL tour she writes and attempts to seek answers as well as comfort us. Take a walk through Stevie's mind during this time and see how tragedy inspires every great poet.

Cell phones..... I HATE them. Have one. Hardly use it. It annoys me to think that some one may think that they have the ability to contact me at any given time. If i want to talk to you....I will call you. ON MY time. How did people EVER survive before? Call me old fashioned if you want to. There is absolutely NOTHING more ruder than for someone to use a cell phone to make a NON Emergency call while with someone else. I never complain though. I mean, WHO am I to begin to instill Proper Manners into individuals if their parents failed to do so. So, For those who can't survive throuh everyday life without a cell phone. Here are some simple basic rules of etiquette to live by.

You surround yourself....with unimportantness

The Razzie award nominations are released. This,of course,the "flipside" to The Oscars. I am so pleased to see that Britney Spears lead the race with 8 nominations for her movie CrossRoads. Madonna right behind her with 7 nominations for her & hubby,Guy Ritchies remake of Swept Away. Which only grossed $580,000.

OK.... I am going to answer a few questions that I have been sent via email from some certain readers in regards to my poetry.
QUESTION # 1.WHAT DOES IT MEAN WHEN YOU ONLY TYPE A SINGLE VERSE ONTO YOUR BLOG,LIKE ON YOU 02/04 ENTRY? IS IT
PERTAINING TO ANY ONE CERTAIN INDIVIDUAL IN REGARDS TO SOMETHING THAT IS MAYBE HAPPENING TO YOU AT
THAT CERTAIN MOMENT? JUST CURIOUS.... Danny Morgan,Seattle Washington
ANSWER #1: NO,ACTUALLY BEFORE I STARTED THIS BLOG I WOULD HAVE A JOURNAL THAT I WOULD KEEP AND WHENEVER I HAD A
CERTAIN VERSE ENTER INTO MY HEAD OR SOMETHING I WOULD GO AND WRITE IT DOWN SO THAT LATER I COULD GO
BACK AND INCORPORATE THAT INTO A POEM OF SORTS. NOW,THIS BLOG MAKES IT EASIER FOR ME TO DO THAT
INSTEAD OF THE OTHER
QUESTION #2: I WRITE POETRY MYSELF AND FIND THE 2 POEMS THAT YOU HAVE PLACED ON YOUR BLOG BOTH TO BE BASED
AROUND WOMEN WHO ARE FILLED SADNESS AND DARKNESS,ARE THEY IN SOMEWAY LINKED?
TODD BETTIS,PHILADELHIA PA.
ANSWER #2. I HAVE A STACK OF POEMS THAT I HAVE WRITTEN,SOME ARE NOT ALL DARKNESS AND MYSTICAL FANTASY THEMED
EVERY CHARACTER THAT I DESCRIBE IN MY POEMS ARE IN SOME WAY CONNECTED...THEY ARE ALL ME IN THE 2ND
SENSE. I USE WORDS LIKE MISSIONARY AND SHE TO TAKE AWAY THE PERSONAL AFFECT OF IT ALL SO THEY WON'T
BE TAKEN SO SERIOUSLY.
QUESTION #3. I STUMBLED ACROSS YOUR BLOG THROUGH A FRIEND,I JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU THAT I ENJOY YOUR POETRY
THAT YOU HAVE WRITTEN AND PLACED ON HERE. WHATS YOUR BIGGEST INSPIRATION TO WRITE?
BRIAN LOUCKS,GREENSBORO NC
ANSWER #3. WELL,EVERYONE KNOWS WHO MY BIGGEST INSPIRATION IS,STEVIE NICKS. WHAT INSPIRED ME TO KEEP WRITING
AFTER MY FIRST POEM, WAS THE CARD I RECIEVED BACK FROM STEVIE NICKS WITH AN AUTOGRAPHED 8X10 FROM
STEVIE AFTER I SENT TO HER ONE OF MY FIRST POEMS SHE WROTE "HAS ANYONE EVER WRITTEN ANYTHING FOR
ME???? YES......YOU HAVE. I IDENTIFIED SO MUCH WITH YOUR CHARACTER......THANK YOU----LOVE STEVIE NICKS. IT
TRULY MADE ME REALIZE THAT THOUGH I DO HAVE A DIFFICULT TIME OF EXPLAINING TO SOMEONE HOW I FEEL OR
AM FEELING DIRECTLY, I CAN DO THAT THROUGH WRITING
QUESTION #4. DOES YOUR POETRY HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH A RELATIONSHIP THAT YOU ARE INVOLVED IN CURRENTLY?
KAREN L. SUTTON, QUEBEC,CA
ANSWER #4. THE LAST POEM I DID WRITE AND POST HERE ON MY BLOG WAS DEDICATED TO THE GUY I AM SEEING. THOUGH IT
BASICALLY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HIM DIRECTLY,THE POEM WAS INSPIRED BY HIM. AFTER HIM AND I HAD A
TELEPHONE CONVERSATION, I TRULY FELT HAPPY AT THAT MOMENT AND SO WHEN I AM HAPPY I LIKE TO WRITE.
THATS WHY IT IS DEDICATED TO HIM,CAUSE HE INSPIRES ME. THERE ARE WONDERFUL QUALITIES IN WHICH HE
POSSES THAT I DO WISH I HAD. ALL IN ALL HE IS A GOOD MAN. BUT ALOT OF WRITINGS HE HAS NOT EVEN READ.
I DON'T THINK HE PAYS ALL THAT MUCH ATTENTION TO MY WRITINGS OR ALL THAT MUSHY STUFF. THATS JUST THE
WAY HE IS. LOL. BUT HE DOES ENCOURAGE AND SUPPORT ME.
Anyway guys....i just do this for fun and I am glad that some people do enjoy what i write on here. Its really cool to be able to express yourself
and say whatever is on your mind. cause as Tom says...."write what YOU want....its YOUR blog". Lets all try not to take things so seriously with this. And another thing, this is the only time that i will answer questions on here so this is not a regular thing. just read what you read and interpret
your own thing. But i do thank you for your interest. Heres to more blogging (smile)
All this talk about War both Chemically and Nuclear is very difficult for me to absorb. It seriously flashes me back to the time of the Sept 11th attacks. THAT was a vewry difficult time for me mentally. I really can not explain WHY it affected me the way it did. I called in sick for a soild week and medication was increased. The hardest part of all this is the same question i had with the attacks. WHAT do I say to my 6 year old nephew when he asks me "UNC...why do people want to hurt us.....I never did nothing to them". So i comforted him the best i could and vowed to protect him from harm. Now he asks "Why do we fight"??? How do you break it down into a childs view of understanding when you yourself have no idea why we choose to use threats for compromising?.................'THIS IS WHAT WE'VE WAITED FOR---THIS IS IT BOYS, THIS IS WAR. THE PRESIDENT IS ON THE LINE AS 99 RED BALLOON'S GO BY....NENA: 99 RED BALLOONS
Everyone here on The Eastern Shore Of Virginia where i live are talking about the shoot out with police officers and an immigrant belived to have been sent here to carry out an act of terriorism by poisoning our drinking water. The shoot out left one police officer injured an unidentified man dead. When i heard this of course fear set in....but then i began to think...."Why would they come here to perform such an act"? NOTHING is here except for farm land. All militray bases are located in The Greater Hampton Roads area which are South of the Shore and a great distance away. with relatively NO connection in water sources. So after reading some, i found this artice from The Virginia Pilot that really explains everything and shows that there is NO Terrioist connection to what happened AND the "Immigrant" that was arrested was infact a "MIgrant" from Mexico who is married with 6 children. The connection of him with a terriorist group came from an unidentified caller to local police who stated that this man had said to them that he was sent here to perform such an act. Im sure that this rumor gained its momentum at the Monday Night BINGO game held at the local volunteer fire and rescue squad station. What else would the "Grandmas" have to to talk about. The only other big news that happened HERE lately was that Big K-Mart was closing its doors......OH and the "Panther" (rolls eyes) loose on Chincoteague island.........but then with the area getting so much great P.R. in recent weeks MAYBE another Major shopping retail chain will open in the soon to be empty building K-Mart once occupied
Terriorist act on The Eastern Shore?
Alanis Morissette while talking with a British Journalist opens about her sexual preference. Which to me really wasn't ALL THAT SCHOCKING. My God,she played LILITH FAIR that should have told everyone.

He asks......"What makes me different from the rest".............
I reply---------"I stand in the shadow of No One..........The shadows......follow me"
The other night,Chas,Tom and I went to see the movie "The Pianist". I have to say that this movie has seriously left a lasting impression on me. Many moments during this movie.... I wanted to get up and just run out onto the streets and scream at the top of my lungs "WHY"??. Now sitting here I have to say that never has there been a movie that has affected me so deeply. As everyone should know by now, The Pianist is a movie that is based on one jewish mans survival during The Nazi reign of terror. His love for music and the drive for human survival is what keeps him going. To spend everyday of your life hunted because of your heritage is something that many of us will never have to expierence. For that I say "Thank you" to whatever higher power of sort exists.
I spoke with my best friend Marie last night while at work and explained to her what an emotional impact this film had on me....and for reasons unknown to me I felt compelled to tell her How very sorry I am. You see, Marie is jewish. Long having traced her family tree,her family or what she does know due to the limited info availiable, was involved in The Holocaust. My great grandparents were full blooded Germans.
She told me about the time that her mother and family went to Germany to visit her brother,he was stationed there in the U.S. Military,and they went to visit what was left of The Concentration Camps. How even today there lingers a scent of death and the atmosphere is one of sorrow. Some of her family died there. Some escaped.......so that she could live.
She educated me on some of the "Expierences" that her people had to endure while captivated there. Captured Mothers attempting child birth only to have their legs tied together. Having to shower in GAS,Not Water,afterwards being set ablaze. Children being raped by german soldeirs,other children being placed down in Toilets to hide them from harm......the fear and the pain a parent must have felt for their children one can only imagine. A parent brings a child into this world vowing to protect them,nurture them,love them......only to have all of that stripped from you along with your Pride. Difficult for one to imagine.
Marie said "Blacks go everyday instilling into minds how their people were treated unfairly.......BUT they are not the only ones who have died due to the color of their skin....and unlike what many may think.....WE (JEWS) have to endure some of this still today....that prejudice has crossed the globe and into America where the Nazi symbol by some is still being worshiped".....Truly Frightening.
My German Great Granparents Left Germany for New York during Hitlers reign of terror. I Thank Godess they did not agree with his dictatorship. On that venture here to America, I would like to think that they possibly broke bread with one or some of my best friends Family who happened to escape with their lives

Well the new work schedule has been released and I am STUCK AGAIN with an entire schedule of 12 hour GRAVEYARD shifts. My body really has absolutely NO IDEA what time it is suppose to function. On days off, I arise when the sun is up...on days working...I arise as it is going down. I have had it. Thats it. I have asked WHY hasn't it changed and all i ever get is "We will get back to you....right now I have to go to a meeting". Well..... DISCUSS THIS in your next donut and tea binging meeting..... I have applied online for NOT ONE......BUT TWO positions today with Sentera Health Services in Norfolk Virginia. The one i truly want is an office job for the Infection Control Dept. I have had expierence in this while being a Unit Manager for a LTC. Its Mon-Fri......and 45 a year. The second is Charge Nurse for a LTC they run. 8 HOUR DAYS with every other weekend and those being day shift as well and 3 dollars more an hour than I make now working nights (which is the highest paid shift to work....a WHOLE DOLLAR MORE ....whoopee...might i add). I think what Nursing establishments fail to realize is that MY profession is and always will be HIGH in demand. What one organization will not provide for their nurses another one will. And I tend to push that. Many nurses have been in the profession for so long that they grow accustomed to dealing with whatever schedule or salary that they get. NOT ME. I will quit a job in a minute. Many do not know if they can adapt to new surroundings and new co-workers. NOT ME.... i don't have to talk to anyone while i work if i dont want too and i can adapt to any surrounding like a Chameleon.........so we will see what this online applying brings.(Self reminder....Contact References)
Looks as if one legendary Record Producer has ALOT of explaining to do since the body of a young woman was found dead in his Home.

While watching CMT....i was forced to put down the paper I was reading due to this GORGEOUS HOT ASS GUY that was singing on my television. I had NO idea who he was in the begining but when the ending credits for the video flashed up I was SHOCKED to see that it was none other than Chris Cagle. I have seen him many times in the past on tv but NEVER had I noticed how HOT he was. He has buffed up,gained some weight and is a definite BEAR since i last saw him.... I am in LUST. By the way Tom....DIBBS!!!!! I call DIBBS on him and you can HAVE that guy from Montgomery Gentry. I found this recent pic of him on this web site....and I say "Put him on a biscuit and lets eat it".....Damn.
