    • Diary Cows by Ronald Koertge Got up early, waited for the farmer He hooked us all to the machines as usual. Typical trip to the pasture, typical day grazing and ruminating. About 5:00 back to the machines.  What relief!   Listened to the radio during dinner. Lights out at 7:00. More tomorrow. (many many thanks and deep bows to Ron Koertge for letting me use this.) ...

    • i drove to work today, got here an hour earlier so i decided instead of parking in the garage and paying for it, i had some free time to go looking around for street parking. Especially since i got her at 5 in the morning, someone was bound to be moving their car. right?? Good riding's, i found the damn parking spot but BAD IDEA. All i can think about now is someone scratching my car, or bumping ...

    • Pet peeve #2...When your obviously in the wrong, and you know ... and everyone else knows yet you so desperate try to defend yourself by finding reasons to switch the bait and turn it on the other person. Why not just own up to your wrong doings, and get on with it. Your just making the situation bigger and worst than it already is. In fact its showing how weak you are, and your only weapon is to ...

Just remembered something that tickled my belly earlier and thought id transfer it here to get a giggle.For whatever reason i was completely ticked off at work today and after i vented everything out to my good ol' buddy Edward, i turned on the computer and started to type away (hence my previous entries). So he laughed and told me that i ...

    • In the beginning .. This phrase is so beautiful, is so pure, is so exceptional. It speaks of when things were new, when no problems surfaced. When all was once okay with the world. When everything was just what it was, no complications, no loop holes, no exceptions, no assumptions... just what it was..AHH I JUT SPENT LIKE 10 MINUTES WRITING OUT SOMETHING, AND THEN MY COMPUTER DIED SO IT DIDNT ...
  • Secrets she left behind Possibly Chapter 2

    • "Sometimes if i turn close enough, i can see the expressions on their faces. I make up a story about who they are, and whats going on their lives. Their expressions tell a lot about their story. Are they mothers, or sisters, daughters or wives? Are they headed to their regular 9-5 job that they dread waking up for everyday? Are they involved in a relationship or alone helpless and lonely ...

    • Love is a crock of shit. I mean why do people even bother putting themselves through it? It just tears every emotion that you can possibly feel in your body to eventually rip it to shreds, or back you against the wall in a closed box, or make you numb to experimenting with yourself or others around you. Is it really worth all the fucking torment and insanity just for the few moments of sheer ...

    • O.M.G i sincerely want to kill myself right now. I arrived at work at 6:30am, and lastnight i left at 12pm. I couldnt get any sleep until 4oclock am and as you guessed it i was suppose to wake up at 4:30am. Ended up waking up late at 5am and got to work about 15 minutes late. That just sounded like so many numbers. I am still hung over, hungry, and exhausted. Not to mention the music shooting out ...

    May 28, 2009

    • Ive been finding myself very emotional lately, very dependent, and lonely (im never alone so the small amount of time that i am, i feel some type of disconnect and isolation.) This is one feeling i can vouch for never being felt before. Mainly with D though, ive managed to somehow cut off all unnecessary ties...cutting off loose ends are the best way to avoid knots. So even if their was no ...
  • Secrets she left behind Possible Conclusion of Chapter 1

    • It had began to rain harder now. You could hear the slaps from the raindrops hitting against the glass windows from outside. It was just what Mil needed, of course, out of everyone she had managed to leave the house this morning without an umberella. She began to daze down at the blank paper before her. THINK THINK THINK. Nothing came to mind.The door to the coffee shop swung open and the handle ...
