And The Days Go By......Like A Strand In The Wind
WOW.....OK.... I am like totally speachless. Doing some research today on Stevie Nicks and I found that her song "After The Glitter Fades" (One of my all time faves)......off of BELLA DONNA.........was written with The Great Country Artist Dolly Parton in mind. Do I hear a possible new Blue Grass version of this song in the works for the next new Dolly Cd? One can only hope.
For You..........From Me.
When I was young............I can remember that day
Far out in the distance-------I heard someone say
Always remember to look inside
Always remember.........some things you MUST hide
Yes-----and the sands of time like shattering glass go past her
She used to call him desperado
He would call her his shattered diamond
But truly none of that mattered..............behind her chamber walls
And yes-----she was.....charmingly disarming
The towns sweet mystery
Oh,and she says------ the moon,well.....it never beams
Without bringing dreams to me
Maybe I sleep in a bed of roses...........maybe they were always there
Maybe I didn't see them--------the answers to my prayers
Some say they have seen me run with shadows of the night
And maybe I go dancing.........with glitter in my eyes
And maybe I fly with the stars----------but WITH me.......these secrets shall die
Those who once looked for answers are now casting stones
I look and see him standing there........gathered with the crowd below
They feared the silence in my cat green eyes
"Your A Witch" "Your A Witch" they all implied
But never will I....... admit to being a creature of the night
Insane eruption as their torch song lights
But this witch............Yes----THIS witch.........will NEVER die

Madonna seems to be fighting mad over reports that she infact HATES living in England. From photos I have seen of her and family enjoying life in the UK there is absolutely no way she could be acting........Cause GOD KNOWS she can't do that.

"Come One Come All...Its The Greatest Show On Earth".....This is certainly NOT what the residents of a local town very close to me are saying. An elderly lady was attacked in her home on Chincoteague Island by what she describes as a very Large Black Cat....Possibly a Panther. Health officials have declared that appearing from Kanine teeth puctures and scratches left after the attack DO NOT match that of a house pet Cat or dog.

Listen To The Rain:...............Well your a victim...
Phantom Of The Opera...........And you've been everywhere
And you live in Dark Shadows
You can do what you want too
Theres No Beauty And The Beast here
Open up the window and take time ....to listen to the rain
Take some time to smell the roses.............and throw away your pain.............
Today had a very unexpected but pleasant surprise enrolled within it today. My best friend of 18 years,Lanie,stopped by today and we had a great time. We have planned to spend all day friday together too. We never really get to do much with each other anymore. Her being married and raising 2 kids and my working nights and all. Lanie and I met in the 8th grade. She came to our school after being taken in as a foster child with a lady who lived right down the street from me. Lanie,her sister and her brother were removed from their biological parents home after being found to be abused and Lanie not being able to attend school due to her alcoholic mother forcing her to stay home and care for her younger siblings while she worked then drank herself to sleep. The first day Lanie and I met we were outside having lunch and i was called over to their table to be introduced to her by mutual friends. We hit it off right from the moment. We soon became inseperatable and were soon speculated to be having more than just a "casual" friendship. I was dating another girl at the time so it certainly did cause for many childish school like boyfriend/girlfriend arguments. Anyway....all through school Lanie and I did things together. In school and out of school. In High School we were both dating different people and 2 weeks before our Prom...the guy who was dating Lanie broke up with her and basically shattered her heart. He was a total geek anyway and never really fit into my "Jocks" club (which is what they called all of us guys who played football). Well, i felt so bad for Lanie and was addiment on rescuing her and her broken heart. So, I intentionally broke up with the girl that i was seeing (she was a cheerleader so would have NO probs finding a date) and asked Lanie if she would escort me to the prom. I knew she had already brought her dress and was looking so forward to it and i could not live with myself if i knew that she was at home on this big night while everyone else was out having fun. I took Lanie to both our Junior and Senior Proms. She is the older sibling I never had. Even after she was married, ( I was her MAN OF HONOUR), we were inseperatable. Before the births of her 2 children (yes I was in the delivery room for both births) her and i would get together watch movies and just fall asleep side by side. Her husband,Jim,who is fine as wine,would call and say "Are you going to spend the night there"? LOL. He is a great guy though. He refers to me as "His Wifes Boyfriend"...and knows that Lanie and I have this bond,this force of nature that causes us to be so close and that nothing sexual would ever come between us. I told him in the begining to not worry about that cause I would prefer to sleep with HIM anyway over her. LOL. So, he knows the deal. Lanie is like my sister and my one true friend. Even before i was honest with myself about being Gay...she knew. She never told me before I came out that she infact suspected. She is the type of friend who didnt want to judge me and post labels on me before i was comfortable and secure enough in my own skin to be honest with myself. She is Hillary Whitney to my C.C. Bloom (Barbara Hershey to Bette Midler BEACHES Characters),we have been through everything....And IF our lives did happen to play out like BEACHES....she knows that I would do the VERY exact thing for her with no questions asked.....cause THAT my friends is.... the "Glory Of Love".

More Great Stevie Nicks News. The Best Of Fleetwood Mac is now certified as Platinum.
Ok.... I know that this will be disturbing to those who know me....especially the bf Tom. But i can't help it. I have to post this. I was doing some reading on the net in regards to one of my favorite singers,Belinda Carlisle, and was happy to see that her recently Short US Tour was a surprisingly GREAT success. I have seen her live 3 times. Which prompted me to pull out my issue of PLAYBOY that Belinda posed for last year and just marvel in how absolutely gorgeous i think she is. YES!!! I have some PlayBoy Magazines.....see i told you this posting would surprise some. I am Gay but I have been with women before,during that time of denial. And I can still look at a woman today and find her attractive.....just not sexually. Belinda is stunning in this Playboy Pictorial/Spread.........and hell if i was paid the amount of money to pose that she was.... i would have demanded a bit of airbrushing as well. Still, these photos prove to everyone that a woman in her 40's and NOT a fucking size ZERO is still stunning and every bit,if not more, GORGEOUS and sexually viable as these 20 something Anorexic Bitches that we see plastered to every magazine cover in the world. Belinda says it best when asked "Why she decided to do this pose for PlayBoy now and NOT 20 years ago when she was origionally offered"..... "I simply wasn't comfortable with my body then...I was on starvation diets due to the demand of the record company to stay thin....NOW its my chance to say ......I like who I am.... I am finally comfortable in my own skin. I am in my 40's. I am a wife and a mother and I would rather be a PIN-UP girl than ZERO size". You Go Girl.

And Tom....... PLEASE spend some time with your friends before they get postal......(kisses)
Well, Valentines Day will be here before we know it. I took this simple fun quiz to see what type of Romantic I am. The results were rather shocking I have to admit.....but very true.

Well its back to work tonight. Then I am off for 1 week. I have decided that I am going to call in sick if i have to on thursday and friday. Work has stuck me into an all day seminar Saturday. To include MANDATORY, this seminar will be regarding info on Geriatric State Regulations and Documentation. This truly BITES. WHO wants to be stuck in an all day Mandatory seminar on their WEEKEND OFF!!!!???? I am going to request that they have some sort of entertainment for the other wise boring day.......(Im thinking STRIPPERS).
The Dixie Chicks are one of my favorite groups in music today. I have been a fan of theirs since the late 90's and when they decided to redo the Stevie Nicks Classic "Land Slide" i knew they were genious.Not necessarily for the song itself but just for recognizing the GENIOUS IN STEVIE NICKS. So today i found a cute article about the Chicks and interviewed in this new article,which will be in the new issue of PEOPLE next week,is none other than the HIgh Priestess herself, Stevie Nicks.
Stevie Nicks Wants To Be A Dixie Chick
Just returned from the bf's. It was nice to see him again. I really didn't want to leave. I slept like a baby last night.So, did he.....except for when he was talking in his sleep about "JaRules new album being released in 2 weeks". This man eat,breathes and sleeps music.

I was deeply saddened to hear that 80's sitcom actress and Tony Award Winner,Nell Carter,has passed away. Star of televisions GIMMIE A BREAK and stage play "AIN'T MISBEHAVIN'",Ms Carter had long suffered from Diabetes and in the past had brain surgery for a brain aneurysum. Ms. Carter was found in her home by one of her 13 year old adopted sons. Her death is not being speculated and is believed to be of Natural Causes.
Death Of Nell Carter
On to much brighter news...the wind here is not as bad as it was this morning so I am going to drive across and see my "Babies Daddy".
It is so cold here........this winter storm here in the southeast of The States is KILLING me!!!
CHILLY WILLY I feel as if I am back in Alaska (where i lived at one time for 6 months). You can ask anyone, I PREFER cold weather to hot weather.But this shit is ridiculous. It is 8:39 am (est) and i just got home from work. Which was rather uneventful. Thank God. I called the Bay Bridge Tunnel today to see if there were any "Wind Restrictions" posted for crossing...and of course there is. Which totally sucks because I have to cross this bridge to see Tom. I love the short commute over this bridge though. It is a 22 mile bridge that can be so sceninc and beautifull but traveling in my HONDA Passport miles above the Chesepeake Bay with strong gusty winds blowing my ass everywhere I can simply do with out. If I go off that fucker the only thing below me is water....and thats a hell of alot of fucking water to try to drink. Anyway....Englands very own "TOP OF THE POPS" is coming on with live performances from ERASURE and this new girl group,GIRLS ALOUD from Britain who has the #1 song in the UK right now "Sound Of The UnderGround" or something like that. So, I am going to curl up in my bed with my big fat 21 pound black cat "Black Velvet" and watch some of this and drift off to sleep...... Good Night All
OK one more thing before i go to bed..i went to feed my mothers fish and he is dead. This is not a lie.... LMAO... I think he froze.
OK.......can someone PLEASE tell me what the hell my work place was thinking when the higher powers that be decided to make the "Game Of The Day" for the Alzheimer residents B-I-N-G-O???? Now.. I will be the first to admit that I have fried many brain cells in my life....but evidently I am not the DUMBEST person in the world. Do they have ANY idea how long that game could take to finish??? Sure.... you can tell the Elderly Alzheimered Patient to call the word BINGO when they have it but i am almost certain that by the time one of them in fact has BINGO they will have FORGOTTEN THE FUCKING WORD!!!! I just feel so sorry for the poor volunteer or activity assistant that actually HAD to sit there with them throughout this game. I would have been declared Mentally INSANE afterwards had it been I. Yep... that big old padded wagon would have been transporting me to the asylum, no doubt.
Then of all places to be stationed last night I was on The "Ghetto" side again. They call it this because if you leave ANYTHING there you can guarentee it will NOT be there when you return. Everything from Purses to Drug Reference books are taken,never to be seen again. They even post Memos to the staff that end with......."And if this MEMO is taken or destroyed we have numerous duplicates we will post"...is that sad or what? Anyway...this cranky old man was giving me a hard time about taking his medicine until finally i told him "I really DO NOT care if you take this pill or not...its entirely up to you....do you ENJOY living? If so take it.....if you are tired and basically HATE your life....then don't....either way... I am moving on to another resident who in fact DOES want to take their medication". I walk away.........only to hear him say "Hey BITCH.....Don't mess with me....I have killed TWO People in my life time"! I stop....turn around and walk up to him.......look around to ensure no one is there,look at him directly in the face and say, "Oh you have killed 2 people eh? Well I have killed THREE in MY lifetime so I am one up on ya". ( Resident proceeds to take medication cup from my hand with a dazed expression swallows medication then hastily wheels himself away). Yeah just call me NURSE RATCHET!!! But you can damn well bet i aint gonna miss a meal or lose any sleep over the shit. (wink)
Revenge.........ahhh....how sweet those words sound to me as they roll off my talented tongue......Have any of you girls or even guys been betrayed by some heartless,thoughtless beast online? Well,,, this is your chance to declare your vengance. I found this web page created by a woman who went through an unbelievable event with meeting a guy online...and she is for real. So if you ladies remember this guys screen name that decided to play you for a fool

Yesterday was Martin Luther King Jr. Day. I stumbled across this episode of DESIGINING WOMEN where Martin Luther King Jr was mentioned and of course the Politically INcorrect Suzanne makes a statement....that actually to me DOES make ALOT of sense.
DESIGINING WOMEN:
EPISODE TITLE: TYRONE
Scenario: The ladies are set to portray The Supremes in a talent show,so in an effort to be more authentic,Suzanne buys everyone dark body and
facial makeup.
Mary Jo: Suzanne!! We can't go around in black face,that's racist!
Suzanne: Why??? If Dustin Hoffman was gonna play Martin Luther King,you don't think he would wear black makeup?
Julia: Suzanne,Dustin Hoffman would never play Martin Luther King-----that part would go to a black actor.
Suzanne: Well, I think THATS racist!!! I think it should go to whoever the best person is------and that could be Dustin Hoffman.

Well.....its back to work tonight. I guess....still pondering that decision. Its just for one night. i am in a "Mood" to say the least..........right now I hate Healthy people much less Sick people. Have i expresssed just how much I HATE Nursing. Let someone take care of ME for a change. But they can pay me to pretend that i actually CARE about these group of patients tonight. If i go ... I am going to just be like "Heres your Medication....don't call me unless you are actually dying.......and even then i will contemplate if i will respond to your call bell or not". Ok Thats just hateful....Reminder: "In With Anger----Out With Love" (breathing in an out).
Celebs will do just about anything to grab a headline or two as well all know. But my witches intuition says that this European pop duo is ALL AN ACT.

Well yesterday and night were both full of events I would like to forget. Firstly, Fighting with the family. I won't even get into the reasons of why...but it happened. That had been a long time in the coming I feel anyway. I hadn't done that in a while. So, now they are once again reminded that I am a BITCH and I do as i damn well please. So,of course, after the fight/argument i recieve a phone call from an old friend of mine who I use to do alot of "things" with. I will call her "C". I should have known that hooking up with her would involve old habits but i was soo pissed that all i could think about was getting out. After some alcohol and 3 hours later, i find myself waiting in her car,smack down in Drug Central here on The Shore. After waiting for a while in her car i walked up to the door and knocked, after being let in i saw her at the kitchen table sitting with a bunch of saps. I turned away and left. I walked to my vehicle,parked a good 1 mile or so away at her house in the freezing cold. Snow and Ice everywhere, no one but I walking and thinking to myself how glad I am that I left that life behind.....as her friend i wish she could do the same. The entire drive home I continued to remind myself that I made the correct decision in leaving there cause i have worked too hard at getting and remaining clean. But, I would be a lier if i didnt admit to a part of me wanting to run from the door and do a swan dive directly onto the kitchen table where they all were and just inhale everything that was laid open for consumption. But to be honest...i have to say that the main thing that stopped me from doing that was Tom. I could hear him in the back of my mind telling me "Ronnie...you worked to hard.....don't be foolish" and above all i didn't want to disappoint him......much less myself.
Today I purchased a CD that I had been contemplating in getting for a while now. But I am so glad that I did. i have long been a fan of Patty Loveless,but
Mountain Soul is like revisiting my child hood for me. I love Blue Grass music. I was raised on it. Every sunday my grandfather and all my uncles would be outside under this HUGE tree in the back yard and would play music and sing while my grandmother and aunts were inside cooking. My granddaddy would always eventually call me outside to go there with them. The first image i remember of this was like when i was 6 or maybe 7. He would reach inside his pocket and give me a nickel,place me on his lap and tell me to sing His favorite was Delta Dawn. But he would want me to sing some of the old favorites of his like Dolly Partons "AppleJack" and some old timey tunes such as "Walter Henry Hagan" and "Brave Little Soldier". I can still see him smiling so proudly and telling all my uncles that THIS was how one should sing and he would bet a "Dollar To A Donut" that he was going to be staring back to me from the audience of that Grand Ole' Opry one day. I miss him alot.......when he passed away i pinned my Graduation Nursing Pin to his good suit and kissed him Good Bye......but he visits me sometimes in my dreams...........and i still will sing for him.
Well today has basically sucked. I am snowed in. Stuck here in The Bowels Of Hell. Everyone else i know,who doesn't reside here, are out on the town enjoying themselves. And they call themselves friends....hmph. (crossing arms and pouting, still looking sexy by the way). I did find out that a blogger whom i do not know has linked me to their site. So that was really neat and cool. I added her by the way,Bellini-Induced Brain freeze, to the other links I have posted. Her blog is very cool and fashionable. She sounds like someone whom I would have a definite Blast with.
The boyfriend will definetely be grateful for this bit of news
Renewal
Upon watching BBC this evening, I stumbled across this new show
UK's version of Americas Friends and was so pleased and excited to learn that the theme song for this show entitled PERHAPS was written by none other than one of my personal favorite artists
Foxy and can be found on her latest CD which you can find here
Watching You Watching Me. An EXCELLENT Dance CD by the way.
Hilarious Stand Up Comedic saying that i saw on BET today. "They say that within every big woman there is a skinny woman just crying to get out......Well I ATE THAT BITCH and i aint thinking about her ass anymore".
Something I havent done for a few posts and judging from responses many enjoy this. Here is another one of my favorite scenes from DESIGNING WOMEN
Scenario: In the judges chambers on Bernice's behalf to discounter Phyllis's,Bernice's niece, request that Bernice should be declared Mentally Incompotant
and should be committed.
Phyllis: Basically,it isn't just ONE thing,its a bunch of things that Aunt Bernice does. She puts sheep placenta on her face every night before going
to bed,and she keeps these small dolls in her closet with pins stuck through their necks. And the only picture she has in her bedroom is
not of my sons,instead its of some big dumb PIG and it says "May all of your dreams come true,Neal".
Suzanne: Excuse me, that is "NOEL" not "NEAL". I know that pig. I gave her the sheep placenta. My housekeeper gave her the dolls. I don't see
what's so wrong with that. I have some myself-------- it's a little hobby y' know. Some people like Golf. Some people like revenge.
Well it happened. SNOW!!!!!!. I awoken this morning to atleast 4 inches of the white stuff on the ground. I feel I am in Alaska all over again (and people say that HELL can't freeze over). I was hoping that by some small miracle this wonter strom would bypass us so that I could go over to Norfolk and see Tom. We were going to try to see
This at some point. I have been eagerly awaiting this film.
Well my little sister and I have had a GREAT day. It seems like she has not even been gone for almost 2 years. We just seem to fall right back into place. For fun we even popped in and sang family harmony to (which after all these years is still tight as hell) our favorite past time CD
Wilson Phillips. The only complaint is I am soo tired of having to be Carnie (the ex fat one) while she is Chynna (the pretty one). LOL.
A friend of ours whom she met while stationed in the U.K. traveled from his new base station,Langley AFB, here to The Shore to visit us. His name Is Sam and he is a really GREAT guy. We showed him his nudie pic,or someone who looks a HELL OF ALOT like him,that is posted on a particular FREE Amateur Porn Site. he was speechless. LOL. He never denied or agreed that it is infact him. Come on Sam...IF that is you in that picture...you have NOTHING to be ashamed of. He is such a Cutie Patootie and a nice great guy. The kind of guy you can just chill with and always find something interesting to discuss.. Which most of the time is my little sister. LOL. But tonight My Mom and I plus Sam,Carla (little sis) and my cousin Audrey went out for dinner and had a super time. Good food and Great conversation...you just can't beat it. I have to admit though it would have been even more of a great time if Tom was there. I feel guilty about not asking him BUT he did have plans already with a group of his friends. Who ROCK by the way. I do hope that they all had a great time with their dinner tonight. I have YET to taste Micheals home made MeatLoaf though. I LOVE Meatloaf. That with some Mashed Potatoes and Macoroni & Cheese (YES Carbohydrates are my down fall)....makes my mouth water. Almost as much as a big fat juicy DIC-. You get the picture. (kiss)
Reality Television shows are the hottest tickets in town right now. Everyone from The Osbournes to Anna Nicole are making what money they can at this very moment by inviting cameras into their homes to film their every move. I always thought that my life, or my family would make decent ratings if we ever jumped onto this bandwagon. NOW, I may just have my chance
Come on MEE MAW.

Those who know me well know the ONE person whom I can NOT tolerate in ANY WAY shape or form is Britany Spears. I loathe this girl. NOW, I have found a way to fulfill a dream of mine without actually doing any real bodily harm.

And this journalist HAD to use the word FAT in this news piece. (when viewing scroll down for complete article) This article has scared the HELL out of me!!
Surgery AnyOne?. I dont want to be in the Heavy Duty group anymore. I am going to see if i can qualify for that over 55 group.
Well after pulling some strings and basically-------well........lying.......(Hey, I NEVER said I played by the rules) my little sister is driving home now as I type this. I am totally stoked. Everyone...please do NOT hold any prejudice against for me Lying.... I would do this for anyone who is close to me.....Some of you reading this....I ALREADY HAVE for in the past, so shut your mouth. I stumbled across a FANTASTIC unofficial ste for my idol Stevie Nicks. This site is soo cool. It even has greeting cards that you can send with her on it. Lots of fun facts,news and polls. So Go ahead right now and check it out. The site is
Stevie Nicks Underground. Also, I hate to admit to this due to the fact that I will NEVER live this down, but I have a quirky fetish to announce. I stumbled onto this show the other night and now I must admit that he is in some sense ATTRACTIVE to me
somehow sexual appealing
And who can forget..... ANNA ANNA ANNA NICOLE...YOUR SO OUTRAGEOUS
ANNA
Anna Nicoles take on bumper stickers from Episode 1 of her reality television show.
"You know how they have those bumper stickers on cars that say "Shit Happens And Then You Die???"........Well....they should make some that say "Shit Happens And Then You LIVE"......Thats more like what happens.
I will agree when someone says that Anna is a few French Fries short of a Happy Meal.
Heard some interesting news tonight. They are going to close the Big K-Mart we have here on the Shore. That sucks!!! Now..there will not be a Retail Chain Shopping Store within 55 Miles of us. The closest will be WalMart in Pocomoke,MD or Virginia Beach,VA. I seriously have to decide IF i am going to stay here or not. The only reason I even moved back here was to get myself clean. BUT i also have to admit that I prefer the solitude of country living. I instantly knew when i returned here that i was comfortable in that decision because i find my childhood area a sancturary of sorts. I have plenty of space to practice my religion. I have all my friends from school here and most importantly........My Nephew.... GOD I love that Kid. He should have been the kid that I HAD. He asks for nothing from me but to love and be loved....and everyday he reminds me that there is a reason why even the angels don't give up. He is what i live for. He is my strength.
I decided to changer the format of my blog. I find this Template change is more suitable to me and I have added a few things. You will see that I have added a few links. Those being for Jenn,Tom and of course Stevie Nicks Official web site. If you have read any of my past posts you have heard me mention Jenn who is a good friend of Toms and someone who I have come to enjoy getting to know. Plus she is a Sister Of The Moon which is way cool. Tom, is the ...well....um... boy....boyfrie........BOYFRIEND!!!!! Damn, why is that such a hard word to say or pronounce. It is 3:16 am and i am going to hit the bed. Bob, I havent forgotten you my friend.....I am going to link your site in the morning. I can hardly keep my eyes open and it took me like 2 hours just to figure out how to do this shit. LOL.I couldnt have done this without a new friend i have met on here. His Yahoo ID is FaceyForMe. Thanks again. And damn....you DO look like Tim McGraw. LOL
For all Stevie fanatic fans like myself,visit the web site www.johannas-art.com. This site is operated by a European Stevie fan who free handedly draws and paints origionall Stevie Art. Stevie buys art work from this site regularly as well. She captures Stevie Nicks majesticness with every stroke of her brush. She sells everything from Portraits to Stationary. There is so much I want from this site
The death of Maurice Gibb was extremely shocking for me to hear. My mother,took the death of this artist as she did when Elvis Presley Passed away. I remember the day when Elvis Presley was found dead. I remember the effect that it had my mother. She was watching the televison and was so shaken that she called in sick to work that day. I wasn't very old when this happened but i do remember my mother crying.
What is so disturbing about Maurice Gibbs death is the fact that now the 2 remaining Gibb brothers have expressed concern on a British Television program that they are going to pursue and investigate the hospitols medical judgement and care. Their concern is a very legitimate concern. Should Maurice Gibb have been wheeled into surgery so soon after having had Cardiac Arrest. To some of those NOT in the medical profession they would agree that in fact he should NOT have been operated on. BUT to those in the medical profession such as myself I have to say that the surgeons and physicians were at a NO win situation. Here was a man who was brought into the Emergeny Room after having collapsed at his home from an unknown cause THEN found to have a severe,deadly,time bomb ticking Intestinal Blockage. While there he has Cardiac Arrest. But unfortunately with an Intestinal Blockage, you CAN NOT wait for surgery. Regardless of the reason or complications. Maurice Gibb could become Septic from the intestinal blockage due to bowel leakage. Bowel substance will leak into the blood stream,travel through out the body and kill him. So you see, they could NOT have waited. This is how my grandmother passed away. From an intestinal blockage that caused several pin holes in the intestine causing bowel secretions to leak into the blood stream, traveling rapidly to the heart and lungs and other various vital organs and causing brain death first. My heart goes out to any family member who loses a loved one. Its hard to deal with. You want to blame something or someone but the truth is...you can't. Whats going to happen will happen. Its all a part of the Blue Print of our lives.
More news for me today is that my little sister will NOT be able to come home. She was arrested last night. Driving on a suspended license,speeding and having 5 outstanding tickets. The policeman asked her initially WHY she was speeding...her reply...."Victoria Secrets is having a SALE". Even I would not have said this. LOL. But i have decided that somehow someway I am going to see her this weekend. This is my mission.
Just got home this morning from work and i have to say that I have NEVER felt sooo horrible in all my entire life. Nearly every resident on the right side of the facility has The Flu........Now after caring for and catering to them..... I HAVE IT!!!! I WANT TO DIE. This is no ordinary flu...i believe this is straight out of HONG KONG. I have not eaten since yesterday when the Boyfriend brought me Breakfast in bed (sigh)...he is a sweet guy after all,so i know that it is nothing i have eaten. I have a 102.1 fever,achy,vomiting,dry heaving and the worse part of it all is I am literally AFRAID to take anything. All i have here is NYQUIL and refuse to take it because as a recovering addict, i know that the taste of it alone will make me crave more. So... I am fucked. Anyway.... no sense in thinking about it. I am just going to go fix a glass of Ginger Ale and just go to bed...I have to go into work tonight. If i can make it through tonight somehow, Call in's are not being permitted.....all a part of this glorious profession of Nursing. I HATE FLORENCE FUCKIN NIGHTENGALE AND HER GOD DAMN OATH....I HOPE SHE IS IN HELL being tortured slowly by Lucifer and Alister Crowley at THIS very moment.
Last night at work I was reading the new issue of ROLLING STONE,the one with Justin Timberlake on the cover, and found a side section devoted to various celebrities and some of their most STUPID,BRAINLESS AND SPOILED comments.
The first has to go to Shania Twains comment "I have no privacy anymore... i seriously do NOT know IF i can lead the rest of my life this way". Well here's a tip for you WINY TWAIN: Shut the hell up,pack the hell up,grab your MUTT and go jog back across the border. Relive your childhood days of eating sugar and bread and planting trees and after a few days of this I am certain you will change your stupid ass mind.
Secondly, Britney Spears and her comment "Older male fans make me extremely nervous". As well as they should,,because as much as i dislike...despise and loathe your non singing,talentless and robotic ass i know just what i would do if I WERE within 10 feet of you. And it wouldn't be to sell you Girl Scout Cookies either. Besides that i think you are a lier...DIDN'T you promise to go AWAY for awhile?????
And lastly Whitney Houston in her interview with Diane Sawyer from PRIMETIME LIVE: "I have used drugs. BUT i have NEVER used CRACK. Heres a thought Whit you fadeing diva.....DOES THAT make it better...or OK?????? This is clearly an interview you should NOT have done...my advice.....get your nose clean...get new PR and find yourself a real husband...NOT a supplier like you have presently.And if Bobby "Lights up your life" i sure as hell hate to see what darkens it.
I truly am on my soap box this morning. I need to just go to bed so i can be in a GOOD mood when i meet up with the boyfriend tonight. No sense in hurting innocent bystanders right? OK maybe NOT so innocent but in fact a bystander.
To Those Who Laughed At My Pickle Cravings.,,,,,,
I arrived home this morning from work to find an email awaiting for me from my good friend Marie whom I met while In Alaska. I had not heard from her in a few months and was begining to worry....but she has moved back to San Antonio Texas with her husband and was pleased to inform me that SHE IS PREGNANT!!!!!!! I have saved this email for any doubters. But I guess the real lesson to be learned here is to NEVER doubt a witches intuition.....WE are almost always right!!! (kisses)
Who Wants To Be A Go-Go????
As you may remember in a previous post, ABC has obtained the rights to produce the Television Movie about the 80's All Girl Group The Go-Go's. Beating out such competitors like Gene Simmons from KISS fame. Here are some of the female actresses who have read for and are seeking roles for this.
1. Courtney Cox (Friends)
2. Alley Sheedy (The Breakfast Club)
3. Courtney Thorne-Smith (Ally McBeall and According To Jim)
4. Leah Remini (King Of Queens)
5. Sarah Michelle Gellar (YUCK!!!!)
6. Shannon Doherty (Charmed Fame)
7.Debbie Matenopoulous (The blonde girl who was fired from ABC's THE VIEW)
Upon opening the morning paper today, i was greeted with the nauseating site of President Bush plastered on the front page. If i had to awake every morning with the site of that next to me...I would just STOP being gay. I have to agree with Jenn about the entire N.Korea thing. Her statement sums it all up with one sentence. The USA is known to be a HUGE bully in regards to dictatorship to other countries. Mother country or not...even mothers know when not to get involved. Its absurb to say that we are the only country who should be privilidges to certain things and always push the thought into others minds that we have weapons and they cant have them at all. President Bush should worry more about the drunken antics of his own daughters than to those of others. Then again if i was his child I would try to numb myself too. Can we all demand ANOTHER recount PLEASE??? Can we just ask Hillary to come back and run things? She has my vote in 2008. Oh Shut up... i didnt ask YOU if YOU agreed or not. Maybe if we had Suzanne Sugarbaker back in Congress things may be ran a bit more smoothly. LOL. I was surfing the web and actually found a complete script from 1997 from the CBS shortlived series WOMEN OF THE HOUSE. Where Suzanne Sugarbaker has to take the Congressional seat after her husband passes away. I am a huge fan of DESIGNING WOMEN and Delta Burke. She is one of the most beautiful women i have ever seen. Fat or Non-fat era. She is gorgeously funny and talented. Plus the speech she gave in this episode to The House is priceless and in some ways Linda Blood-Worth Thomas can utilize the Zany antics of deltas character Suzanne to get her own personal message across. At the time of this show Linda and her husband Harry Blood-Worth Thomas were close personal friends of Bill Clinton and die hard Democrats. I myself am a democrat. But i truly believe in NOT discussing Politics. Because.....honestly..... I dont understand what the hell they are all about sometimes. I never liked History in High School. I barely passed that subject. My defense was "They say that History just repeats itself so why the hell should i listen the first time". Thank god my teacher was female and i could just sit up front and smile at her and tell her how nice she looked veryday. Plus i played sports and everyone knows when you play Football in HS you get treated differently.For example I had a 32 average in Biology and when final report cards were released I was pleased to see that he gave me a passing grade of C. I asked him was there a mistake and He said "NO mistake..... I cant look at you for another year..consider it a gift" I like that Man. Should have failed Earth Science too. but Mr.McManus was a total hottie and rumoured to be a homosexual.. I hated the class. I mean,,,how the hell was Earth Science going to aide me in my future? His ranting about the whole BIG BANG THEORY pertaining to the origions of earth was boring. I told him i could not participate in this section of his class from strict orders of my mother. She is a Christian women and refuses to allow me to be corrupted into believing that GOD did not make this earth and that some sort of cosmic collision/explosion did. He was so dumb he asked me to bring a note in from home and of course i just wrote one myself and submitted to him the next day.....so since the exam was based on this topic... i was exempt and passed. All he had to do was ask me to suck his cock to pass instead and i would have done it. DUMB ASS.
Anyway, for a different view and outlook on America i present to you Suzaane Sugarbaker
Suzanne takes the podium to speak before The House
Suzanne: Ok,Are we filming? Excuse Me,Excuse Me! OK.....Mr. C-Span man i told you that my left side is my best side. You are suppose to be over there. OK, Cut!!!! Cut! Can we cut?
Speaker: The gentlewoman from georgia HAS the floor.
Suzanne: Ok,then keep filming,but I am telling you right now you are blowing the shot. Action!!! HI, i am Suzanne Sugarbaker and i am new in town. Now, I have been told that Washington is a place where you have to fit in. Well, I'm a person who likes to stand out and i guess the truth is, I care alot more about what Sapphire Jones,my maid thinks that someone name Bill Saffire. Now, i have said alot of things this week that are Politically INcorrect,but then,......so am I. My maid is black, my daughter is adopted, my brother is gay. I,myself,am five times married. Fat----NOT Zoftig,big mouthed,southern and rich. NEWLY rich,which if you ask me is the best kind to be because it means you earned it yourself.
So, I guess you could say I am a little bit different,But from what I know about history---------which is not alot...thats what being an American is all about. The right TO BE different, and to think differently,and to act differently,and to say different things. Kind of like Jimmy Stewart in that MR.SMITH GOES TO WASHINGTON. I mean, maybe you people have forgotten what it is like to be different-------to not run around in a little herd reading the same newspapers and talking to the same people at all the same dinner partys,trying so damn hard to impress each other. And then you book yourselves on those...what do you call those things....... (snapping fingers).....journalistic round tables so that you can sit around talking about the gossip that YOU YOURSELVES have been spreading. Like that Mr.Smith said "If only we cared about each other like we cared about our own reputation". But of course,,,,we all know that if Mr. Smith came to Washington you people would BEAT THE HELL OUT OF HIM!!! Which is too bad because sometimes good people come here to do good things. Like my brother, who was dusting off the Lincoln Memorial the other day,and reminded me that this is OUR Capitol----not just yours------and that these monuments here belong to ALL of us. They don't belong to the Washington Post,they don't belong to the Wall Street Journal,they don't belong to The New York Times or even to Congress----they belong to ALL Americans.
Speaker: Im sorry,but the gentlewoman from Georgias time is up
Suzanne: Im not finished...ok you can come in for the close up now. And by all Americans I mean people with addictions,little people,Movie stars and Hicks.
Speaker: Your tme has expired! Next speaker please.
Suzanne:.......Happy People,rich people,gay people,black people named Sapphire,Peple on Sally Quinns Loser List
Speaker: Will the House Sergeant please come forward and remove the gentlewoman from Georgia!
Suzanne: People who bake muffins
Female Bystander: YES!!!!!
Suzanne: People who eat to much, people who drink too much! (male bystander stands up and raises his hand)
Speaker: ORDER!!!!
Suzanne: (Turning to look back to the Speaker) The GentleWoman From Georgia is NOT finished!!!
(Suzanne continues to speaking as The House Sergeant drags her away) People who like to dust! People who tell the truth! People from the south!People from THE DONNER PARTY!!!!!! PEOPLE WITH CLEAVAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (People are standing and clapping...Suzanne is kicking as she is pulled away)
I have got to find the episodes to this short lived series on Ebay...Until next time.......and if anyone read this through you have TOO Much GodDamn Free time. (wink)
Some interesting news for us Go-Go fans. ABC has purchased the rights to the 80's girl group bio and hope to coincide the release of the TV Movie with the unveiling of their Star on The HollyWood Walk Of Fame in June/July.
Let me first begin by saying that I have had a HORRIBLE craving all day for Dill Pickles. Go ahead laugh if you want. I have consumed 2 JARS of Dill Pickles since 3pm this afternoon AND drank all the juice left in the jars. The last time I had this craving my middle sister confirmed to everyone that she was in fact pregnant. SO..... All females who have been near me lately GO GET YOUR EPT!!!!! My little sister is coming home next week I only pray NOOO!!! It is 11:55 pm now and I could eat ANOTHER jar of them if i had them near me. I actually drove to the Food Lion and brought a jar after consuming the one and only unopened jar we had in the fridge here at the house. I spoke with my friend Bridgette earlier and was telling her about my Pickle Desire and SHE is the one who reminded me of the old wives tale AND reminded me about the middle sister announcing her pregnancy coincidence.
Tom...my...boy---boy---boyfri....boyfriend..(there i said it).Frame it. Save it. Forward it.Copy and Paste it..whatever.The boyfriend and I went and saw CHICAGO this weekend and I truly loved it. Every actor in this movie musical was excellent. All worthy of recognition. I have to say that the performer that really surprised me with her acting and singing range and capability was Queen Latifah.Mixed with both the likeness of Mae West and Dolly Partons take on Miss Mona in The Best LIttle WhoreHouse In Texas she is worthy of the title Queen.
I am off to bed now I guess. Watched my Anna Nicole show tonight so i should rest wonderfully being reminded of the fact that there is someone who also is capable of exploiting themselves so knowingly and freely. Then again SHE was the one who was being filmed riding a mechanical bull with her top half way up her back. Then falling face down with ass in air onto the mat. Which took 2 people to aide her in getting up. Her lesson for tonight was...... "Women Fake Orgasms but MEN fake relationships". Im not sure if that is true in everyones case especially hers. I mean. Wasnt it SHE who married an 80 year old millionaire and then tried to make EVERYONE believe that she loved him for Him and NOT his Millions??? Nice try Anna.....but I still think you and Sugar Pie are great,cheap entertainment.
THE WINDOW
Two men,seriously ill,occupied the same hospitol room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour every afternoon to aide in draining the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the room's only window. The other man had to spend all of his time flat on his back due to his medical conditon.
The men talked for hours on end. They spoke of their homes and jobs,their loved ones and their younger years while serving in the military service. Every afternoon when the man in the bed by the window could sit up,he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside of the window.
The man in the other bed began to live for those one hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by the activity and colours of the world outside.
The man described what laid out beyond the view of the window. The park with the beautiful lake. Ducks and Swans playing in the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walking hand in hand amidst flowers of every colour and a fine view of the city skyline could just be seen in the distance. As the man by the window would describe all this in exquisite detail,the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the picturesque scene.
One afternoon,the man by the window described a Parade passing by. Although the other man could not hear the Parade he could see it. In his minds eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words.
Days and weeks passed. One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths. Only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window,who had passed peacefully in his sleep. She was saddened and called for the hospitol attendants to carry the body away.
As soon as it seemed appropriate,the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window since his condition had improved and could now sit up as well. The nurse was happy to make the switch. Slowly,painfully he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the real world outside. He strained to slowly turn to look out the window beside the bed. It faced a blank wall.
The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate to describe such beautiful picturesque settings outside this window. The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall. She also responded. "Perhaps....he just wanted to inspire you----you see...there is tremendous happiness in making others happy,despite you own situation. Shared grief is half the sorrow,but happiness when shared,is doubled. If you want to feel rich,count all the things that money CAN'T buy. You see...Today is a GIFT, thats why its called the PRESENT. When we leave this world,People will eventually forget what we say and people will forget what we did. But.....people will NEVER forget how we made them feel".
Well 2003 is here and so it starts a new year. A year of unknown and bringing with it changes and new adventures. I honestly can not complain about the year 2002. It brought with it 2 new jobs,new friends and a new lease on life clean. I rang the new year in with my friend Tom and friends. The New Years Eve party at Tony & Darrells was wonderfully quaint with some delicious food and conversation. The best part for me is listening to everyone and what the say. Alot of people feel they HAVE to join conversations to feel part of a group but I have learned the opposite is true. I learn so much more about people and their feelings when i LISTEN to them. Some view this as being shy but im really not after a period of time. Bob really TRIPS me out. I think his humour and catchy comebacks are the stuff that Fried Green Tomatoes are made of. So Wickedly retort I absolutely love it. Jenn and her husband Steve are 2 of the nicest people you would ever want to meet. Its such a sigh of fresh air to know that GOOD people really truly DO still exist. Todd and Micheal are bossom buddies and if you think one can be treacherous when crossed wrongly get them both together and no human stands a chance. LOL. The power of TWO will put a spell on you. LOL. Great guys. Tony is wonderfully down to earth and very gracious and he knows ALOT about smart shopping at Thrift stores. Finding items that are so spectacular that I would NEVER believe could be found there. Darrell is really great too and is very laid back. Tony got himself a great catch and vise a versa.
I went and saw FAR FROM HEAVEN yesterday and it is a wonderful movie. I love Julianne Moore. I have ever since she played Frannie and Annie,yes a dual role where she portrayed twins,on As The World Turns. I found myself feelin so sorry for her in the movie. Her husband is a homosexual that she finds is having an affair,due to his anger about his sexuality he strikes her,he leaves her for another man, she falls in love with the black gardener ( black man..black man...where did you come from),she cant have him due to being in an era of time where racial judgement is enormous so in the end... she is alone. As a gay man you may think I would side with or identify with Dennis Quaids character and his struggle with his sexuality...but NOOO I was saying to Julianne Moore...."Get the kids and the maid,when he comes in the front door you go out the back door and BURN THAT FUCKING HOUSE TO THE GROUND WITH THAT PRICK IN IT"! Forget the Burning BED burn the WHOLE MUTHA FUCKIN' HOUSE TO THE GROUND with that bitch in it. Its such a shame that she couldnt find happiness in the end and though i know she couldnt considering the circumstances and the era it was just sad. Plus, I began to wonder if she was still going to be able to keep her maid,Cybil,since the husband left her. LMAO. I know... i know.... i think entirely too much. But it was a GREAT movie.
Well its back to work tonight. Much to my dismay, I wouldn't dread it so much but I am scheduled to work on the RIGHT side,The Ghetto side, tonight. But i have been off for 3 days,work tonight and then I am off again from tomorrow morning until Monday evening. I spoke with my little sister last night and she was telling me that she has a Squirrell loose in her home. Her and her boyfriend were in the bed having sex and the next thing she knew this "thing" flew across the room. Her boyfriend was in the bed screaming and my sister was up and swinging at it with a bat. OK??? WHO'S WEARING THE TROUSERS NOW???? LOL. She says the squirrell was not apprehended and is still MIA.
