Childhood Gone

As I lie awake and dream
of simpler times and places.
The grass brushes my cheek
as my head tumbles over feet.
The only things we worried about
were the adventures of tomorrow.
Shall I slay the purple dragon
or find the buried treasure?

Life seemed so full of happiness.
A found pocketwatch
and shiny nickels for my bank.
Bright and colorful bedsheets reborn
as a rainbow tent for wayward fairies.
A sanctuary from the trolls
who chased us through the forest.

A smooth red pebble in my pocket
was the key to the time machine we made.
We fought the indians bravely
as little cowboys on white horses.

Many years have come to past.
Yet the memories flow still freely
through this cluttered mind.

Missing my childhood gone
and wishing I could
live it all again.

Hat!!

I am getting published! In a real Book!By the International Library of Photography! For this Picture!
I really it was bogus at first, but upon more inspection it looks to be legit. I entered it in an online poetry contest and the next thing you know I get a Congratulations letter. "Out of thousands of pictures we choose your photograph...." Yada, yada.. What the crap! Lil' Ol' Me? Ok stop Breathe.....

Ok, I am better. So, I loose some photos, and gain a publishing. I guess it all evens out in the end :)

What A Dumbass

I admit it freely, but this weekend I really did a boneheaded thing. I erased most of my pictures..!!

Let me take you back. When I first bought the Nikon, I was using the Picture Project they sent with the camera. It automatically saved the pictures within the program itself. Then I purchased the Microsoft Picture Suite. Little did I know it was saving the pictures to the computer and pulling them up from there as I edited them. It never actually saved them to it's "program per se".
It also pulled all my existing photos of the Picture Project and rendered them useless. The new program won't let me edit, print or transfer any of those without my camera's memory card.
Which of course I reformatted. Yes of course. I reformatted it.
I told Macguffin he could erase all the photos off the computer thinking they were saved in the program. All my vacation photos, nature photos, kids, dogs.... AAAAAA!!!

Yep, Smooth


I have done alot of stupid things. This rates up there with the time I gave my Beagle a whole pack of bubblegum and then had to manually extract a bubblegum brick out of her butt...

I feel sick

I tried dancing to deathmetal once. It hurt

One of our barstools broke. I am not torn up about this I must confess. They haven't really been my thing. Macguffin bought them when he retired some he have pilfered from his mom's house. They are really modern and retro. I like the style, I just didn't think it suited our house. Macguffin and I differed on this opinion, but I didn't try to completely poo- poo his buy either.
But.... when one became to gimpy to sit on, I wasn't actually heart broken :)
Anyways, I digress. Macguffin decided to buy some new stools that I liked from the potterybarn. He wanted to call his potterybarn card and check his account balance and of course got the automated bitch that doesn't recognize language.
The next thing I know, I hear him yelling "I PUSHED (1) POR FAVOR"!!!!!!
and having a nervous breakdown because this bitch won't give him what he's asking for.
Finally he gets to the right menu and hangs up the phone.
God bless modern technology! We got the stools ordered. YAY!

Boo also had a doctor's appointment today so then I rushed off to do that. While were in the waiting room, I excuse me myself to the restroom. When I come back, I have 3 missed calls. The funny thing is, is they're from What a Crock. So I call her back and she answers first ring. She asks me "Were you at"? "I am in Texas, where are you"?
Puzzled for a second, she then realizes her mistake. "OH, shit. I called the wrong Danielle"...
We laughed and she said well "I guess you can't give me a ride to work"!
Sorry Crocky... I had to give you hell. You know I lub ya! ;*O
Then, I go back to waiting for this damn doctor. We wait 2 hours and finally he calls us back. We wait another 30 minutes in his office. He comes in all smiling, cracking jokes that were not the least bit funny."I haven't had a pretty girl in here for 672 days, hahaha". Bleh...
We ruined his day shortly there after when Boo refused to get a pap smear from him. He got pissy, and huffed off somewhere so that we could vacate his office. What a douche..
I guess he doesn't understand modest 15 year olds. Or maybe there isn't such a thing anymore? Feeling kind of bad for her embarrasment I took her to her favorite chinese restaurant for some killer fried rice.

Boo's fortune of the day- "Don't kiss an elephant on the lips today"

When do you kiss an elephant on the lips any day?
Who makes up this crap?
Well, I am off to work, to stare at my desk. Or perhaps to get some writing done. I am trying to move this block. Perhaps if even a little.

The Princess of Darkness presents"Flowers!!"

French Hollyhock


"Fly" on French Hollyhock. Can you see him?


Chinese Pistache at sunset


Oleander Buds about to burst


Nandina Buds



Ok see, I actually go around and take pictures of beautiful things. I will spare you the wrist slasher stuff. At least for today.....


But tomorrow, Muahahahaha...---------->(That's diabolical laughter in case you didn't know)
:-O

The Praetorian

Mother told me I wasn't good
for anything
A cold expression and a chip
holding me down
A putrid maggot ridden waste
of puke
A mercenary of epic proportions
you could say
If worthiness were an accolode
I'd surely fall wayside
I know what your thinking
but it isn't true
This is simply why I
do what I do
Don't count your
blessings yet
i am surely on your
tail
For I am the Praetorian
who shall gaineth all.




Just in case your wondering, I didn't write this about myself. It is actually written about someone from the past that I knew. It kind of sucks, so I am sorry. I am in a bit of a block right now. I just hope it clears up before my turn in the Experiment

Sicky Poo

I haven't been feeling too well, so I spent the whole weekend in the bed. I actually slept 24 hours straight through. That is my new personal record. I will be reading all your lovely blogs as soon as I can.

I've got's lots a stuff in my head, but ma fingers ain't walking yet. Soon, Very soon...


I just had to add this video. This is Boo aggrevating Sadie and Mac. One of these days we will get Sadie to speak engish.
