Take it as it comes, not before.

There is much truth to be discovered in emotional depth, the only thing worse than being a feelings tard, is not being one.

i dreamed a dream in time gone by...

The White Fires of Venus
Denis Johnson



We mourn this senseless planet of regret,
droughts, rust, rain, cadavers
that can't tell us, but I promise
you one day the white fires
of Venus shall rage: the dead,
feeling that power, shall be lifted, and each
of us will have his resurrected one to tell him,
"Greetings. You will recover
or die. The simple cure
for everything is to destroy
all the stethoscopes that will transmit
silence occasionally. The remedy for loneliness
is in learning to admit
solitude as one admits
the bayonet: gracefully,
now that already
it pierces the heart.
Living one: you move among many
dancers and don't know which
you are the shadow of;
you want to kiss your own face in the mirror
but do not approach,
knowing you must not touch one
like that. Living
one, while Venus flares
O set the cereal afire,
O the refrigerator harboring things
that live on into death unchanged."

They know all about us on Andromeda,
they peek at us, they see us
in this world illumined and pasteled
phonily like a bus station,
they are with us when the streets fall down fraught
with laundromats and each of us
closes himself in his small
San Francisco without recourse.
They see you with your face of fingerprints
carrying your instructions in gloved hands
trying to touch things, and know you
for one despairing, trying to touch the curtains,
trying to get your reflection mired in alarm tape
past the window of this then that dark
closed business establishment.
The Andromedans hear your voice like distant amusement park music
converged on by ambulance sirens
and they understand everything.
They're on your side. They forgive you.

I want to turn for a moment to those my heart loves,
who are as diamonds to the Andromedans,
who shimmer for them, lovely and useless, like diamonds:
namely, those who take their meals at soda fountains,
their expressions lodged among the drugs
and sunglasses, each gazing down too long
into the coffee as though from a ruined balcony.
O Andromedans they don't know what to do
with themselves and so they sit there
until they go home where they lie down
until they get up, and you beyond the light years know
that if sleeping is dying, then waking
is birth, and a life
is many lives. I love them because they know how
to manipulate change
in the pockets musically, these whose faces the seasons
never give a kiss, these
who are always courteous to the faces
of presumptions, the presuming streets,
the hotels, the presumption of rain in the streets.
I'm telling you it's cold inside the body that is not the body,
lonesome behind the face
that is certainly not the face
of the person one meant to become.

AND TOMORROW EVERYONE WILL RETURN TO THE WAY THEY WERE THE DAY BEFORE! FORGETTING EVERYTHING THAT SET THEIR HEARTS AFLAME TODAY! LOL

Angels, you evoke responses from me that come from a very deep place. My responses are part logical, part emotional and part intuitive. The combination of the three erupt in a calliope that only can be described as me pulling your ponytail. I gives me great pleasure and a sense of purpose!

I'm pretty sure you understand so I won't go on about it. I'm certain you realize that we are both so different in basic beliefs that we can never be friends. I will try however to maintain a civil demeanor towards you, but I never promise anything! lol

here a picture for you though!

I know you are not interested.

Teddy & Angels' song

Well you had something to say and I respect that you just came out and posted it. I am not interested in anyone on this site. I am not trying to get anyone to fall in love with me. I like hanging out in this thread. It's fun at times...plus you can talk shit and ya know laugh about it...cause it's not meant to be cruel...

Wait let me get my hairbrush so I can sing along with it

Oh man I do wish Selena was still here...she seemed like such a good person...

I'm too old for both of you but you both would still look good on my arm.

I'm gonna do it...

I'm gonna hug you...








:) and I am sure your not too old...stop that...

It's cruel to be kind.

That was the old me! I'm totally reformed!! lol
