Disassociated

Wide-eyed, non-blinking lied to
In the face, with a smile
Brushed aside
As if just another moment in time

Lost in space
Out of Place
Can't escape
A world that's superficially mine

Won't relate
Or incorporate
Or let me be
all that I am as part of you

Spoken to
Like a child
My importance, non-chalance
Not intended to be made whole

12 years ago it was good...
12 years later... still just as good.

Glad I went to see them and had some really great seats too!!!

Mercy

I walk through fields that haunt my dreams, this time I fear it's broken me,  I tasted you so brief yet sweet, the morning comes it's choking me, It's the way you always left me coming down, In a sea of painted whispers did I drown


I'm so tired, I'm so wired, It's not enough to pray for Mercy, I've tried,
I'm so tired, I'm so wired, It's not enough to pray for Mercy, I've tried...


I battle through these thunderclouds to find my way to fields of gold, Somehow I always see your face, Things aren't always what they seem, pretenders all just falling at your feet, C'mon love, I reached the tree now let me see,


And they say that you can reach the sky upon your knees and without pride, I'm screaming, but my needs have chained me to the ground...

Shine for me, walk with me now...

Before Yourself

Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.

If the recurring theme is "what's in it for me" then this life will be a lonely & inhabitable place.

Question...

This article here is all about how Bargnani has a great game with a double-double & leading the Raptors to victory.
So tell me why then... is the picture of Bosh laying up the ball?
Why does he even get credit for an article that has nothing to do with him?

Eye Twitch??

My right eye has been twitching for 3 days non-stop.
Asian myth tells me something "good" is going to happen...
Western medicine says I'm "tired" and that these are just "muscle spasms" and I just need rest.

I was leaning towards the Asian myth thing until it continued to the 3rd day and nothing "good" has happened...
I'm starting to re-direct my focus on the western medicine claim....though I did sleep earlier yesterday already.

I wonder what the Native Indians say....

Some Surprises are Good!

Just reviewing how the Raps have been this year so far... since I just re-read my 15 year "memories" posting.

Good Surprises...
Amir Johnson
Sonny Weems
Marcus Banks
These three guys being known as our "defensive" group
CB4 all-time leader in double-doubles

Not too Surprised...
DeMar DeRozan not delivering as he claimed... the "next VC"... There's been glimpses of his potential, but I was expecting a lot more from this kid
Reggie Evans, still stuck on the bench as a cheer leader
Jose Caledron not the same "amazing" point guard he seemed to be last year... Someone's finally realized he can't defend for his life.
Jarret Jack showing he's overall a better PG than JC
19-20 standing

BAD Surprises
Hedo... Enough said

Just a thought...
T-Mac is back on the trade market - how about re-acquiring him for Hedo :)

Things that SEVERELY Rile Me

http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/article/749478--traffic-cop-holds-up-speeding-surgeon?bn=1

Here is a CARDIOLOGIST, got paged, rushing to the hospital to save someone's life and the stupid cop decides it is to his advantage to hold him (probably for at least 15 minutes) to write him a ticket...

What is wrong with this picture????

And the worst part is - the division "defends" his decision by saying the cop probably stopped the doctor from getting into an accident... RIGHT... because that's what the cop was REALLY thinking.

I wonder - if it was off-duty cop that was pulled over, what would the end story be.  I think they would have shared some lame joke about donut runs and would have been on their way.

Just because you are a cop, doesn't give you the right to abuse your privileges - if I could only count the number of cops I've seen turn on their sirens just to get through the intersection and then leisurely drive off without a care in the world.  Why do we need cops if none of them are doing their jobs anyway?????

New Pod

If I can find my camera amidst my organized chaos, I'll take some pictures and upload them...
Place is great - landlords are AWESOME - some of the best people I've ever met and generous too.
I love waking up to a routine that doesn't include screaming children, screaming freeloader and a house that could very well be featured in the next "Hoarders" episode.
I also love the fact that I can come home to a clean place, not have to try and run away from children who have a keen eye for harassment and cook a real meal, and sit down and eat it - without feeling like I'm in the way - or people are in my way.
Finally feels like my life has just began - woo hoo to our new pod and some exciting times ahead :)

.... I wouldn't mind having a couch and my 42" TV though :P
