Escapism from little kids.

When'​​s the next time you will see the perso​n who absol​utely​ takes​ your breath away?​​
Tomorrow!


Think​ back to March​,​​ how was your love life then?​​
In march? Non-existent

What are you liste​ning to?
A pair of twin crying for food, a two year old asking me if he can put a glass of water in the microwave because he wants it hot and a seven year old talking about how she is going to make her taco for dinner. OH! You mean music? Brandie Carlyle's "Silver Cloud".


Do you have a bad tempe​r?​​
no not really.


Do you like anyon​e?​​
Damn straight.

when is the next time you will kiss someone?
Tomorrow! Maybe tonight if my niece or sister wants a kiss goodnight.


Has anyone ever told you you have pretty eyes?
Yeah but most people say how weird they look.


Do you like to go on walks?
I love wandering around.


Hows your heart?
Its skips beats a lot recently. Both metaphorically and physically.



Do you hate the last perso​n you kisse​d?​​​
Excuse me? I think your logic needs a tune up.


Last night​ you felt:​​​
Yesterday? Pretty good. A little worried and annoyed before I went to sleep.


Has anyone told you they love you today?
Yes. I hear it everyday.

what did you have for dinner?
Creole Tacos!


How often​ do you hold back from sayin​g what you are think​ing?​​​
Again, your logic is flawed and needs to be beat with a sledge hammer.

What are you going to do after this?
Watch a movie, write some more and hopefully go off to the apartment rather than take care of kids again.

The Greatest Work

No giants shoulders to stand on
No "for a better world"
No riches from a New World
Fights will be had
Embraces will be shared
Tears will be shed
Smiles will shine
Hearts ma be broken
Souls will soar
And so much more
we will grow
we will glitter like gold
We will soar
No giants shoulders
For none alive has truly attained
No "for a better world"
For nothing happens to the world
No riches from a New World
For there is nothing material within
This is truly Bohemian
This work
And is only accomplished by the greatest
You
And I

I don't know what to think of this.....Go to google and search for manbeef.com

No its not a porn.

This has been on my mind too long to not write about. This is going to be REALLY angsty. Like kill yourself angsty, I apologize.

FUCK YOU ANTHONY LESLIE LOJA!

Atlas

As innocence suggests
My perceptions might have been twisted
But where did you go wrong
You stood taller than everyone
Blue glasses and red fedora
Held high above the crowd
Your smile and laughter
Brought hope to those who could hear
People didn't follow you
They put worlds upon your shoulders
Making you all the boulder
Your wizened riddles taught me my trades
Now they seem like useless spades
People said you had the touch
I would do anything to give you the push
My mentor
My friend
My brother
Now with your almost 400 pounds of depressive fat
Your sweats and oily looks
I've turned to books
No more is that gallant weight under my spirit
That hearty laughter ringin' in my ears
Those riddles grinding my gears
Just 400 pounds, sweats and beers
You used to be sweet strong and stylish
Like a bold freight
Now,
As you walk down the latter you built for yourself
That I followed you up
The worlds fall and roll like marbles
And I'm left building alone
No more is there a team
My question is not where
But why
WHY DID YOU HAVE GO WRONG!?!?

bag of butt plugs and/or mannequins parts

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: 2008-09-17, 6:09PM PDT



~~~~Mannequins have been picked up all we have now is the bag of butt plugs~~~~


Yeah that's right you hear me right, a bag of butt plugs and/or mannequins parts, the mannequins from a store have been disassembled and are laying all over the place, can you come and grab these ladies? We are tired of them all laying around doing nothing when we are all busting are asses all day.

. . . and the bag of butt plugs, yes there is a bag, it's a large safeway or something brown paper bag, and it is filled to the brim with silicone(?) butt plugs, I would not actually recommend using them for their intended purpose as they have been sitting there for I don't know how long. They haven't been used and they are still in their plastic bags. They are an assortment of sizes and colors so if you are trying to do some crazy art piece or stick them to a friends car, or make a Halloween costume I would say get your ass down here and get these butt plugs off our hands! I mean c'mon a free bag O' butt plugs!!!

Maybe you could combine the mannequins and butt plugs to give to a friend for their birthday, anyways just come get them, we don't want our trash men to think we are freaks.

Store Hours noon-7 come by anytime tonight or tomorrow.

Have a beautiful day!

My question. What in the hell kind of store is this? And What in the hell is going on with their patrons!?

I have to add to this! Here is another one from the Detroit Metro area.

Tina, The Telemarketer Who Called Me Last Night - m4w

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: 2008-09-17, 1:52PM EDT



Dear Tina,

When you called me so unexpectedly at 6:00 last night, I was expecting a call from my sister and brother-in-law . I tried to explain to you that there were steaks on the grill and I had guests coming for dinner, so I really wasn't in a position to talk to you about a time-share in Vegas. You persisted. I am not the rude type, so I continued to indulge you rather than hanging up the telephone in your ear. I figure that probably happens quite often and you were only doing your job. However, I think we had a real misunderstanding and I'd like to set the record straight here.

When I asked you what you were wearing you became very defensive. I am in sales myself and I am required to wear a suit and tie to work every, single day. I simply wanted to make sure you were prepared to make a good first impression.

When I asked you what type of panties you were wearing it was because I wanted to make sure I was dealing with a "normal" person and not a pervert.

Asking you if you were masturbating when you spoke with customers was my way of checking your professionalism.

When you started making claims of sexual harassment, I was flabbergasted. There was really no need to call me names. I was also appalled that you had the audacity to hang up on me! Need I remind you that YOU called me? The least you could have done is to have been grateful that I took the time to speak to you in spite of the fact my steaks were burning.

As for the Vegas time-shares, I am very interested. How about you come over to my place, bring a couple of steaks to grill (as you kind of owe me a few steaks anyway), and we can talk more

Last but not least. This one is from the Houston area.

Light house cleaning needed

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: 2008-09-23, 4:28PM CDT



Need some light house cleaning. I'm pretty busy and not able to clean my apartment so I need someone to do some light work once a week or so. Here are some pictures to give a general idea.






I have one thing to say of this apartment. If ANYONE on ET takes care of there living space like this. Get away fom me!

If you want to keep up with the Devil Ducks and the sketch comedy we are making look here.

[http://www.youtube.com/user/TheDevilDucks]

Two funny bits I found on "The Best of Craigslist" Section on Craigslist.com. These are actual posts on craigslist.com.

I work at Tullys, you work at Starbucks, it could never work

We're from two different worlds, you and I. I work at Tullys, you work at Starbucks. It could never work out. Our lives are just too different. You guys make 'frappacinos', we make 'spins'. Your coffee is dark italian roast, while ours is a medium dark city roast. You guys have the whole green thing going. We're apples and oranges babe, oil and water. But, I admit, when I see you pulling shots from your La Marzocco, I think for a moment, maybe, just maybe, it could work. Then I realize I'm a fool. What brand of double tall non-fat hazelnut latte extra hot no foam would our children drink? No, it's better that we stay within our seperate worlds. I'll date nice Tullys girls, you'll find a great Starbucks guy, we'll both be happier this way. Let's save ourselves the heartache.


Dear Mom, Things You Never Knew

mom, i told myself that when i was old enough to not be afraid of your reaction, i'd tell you all the shitty things i did as a child and teenager (even if thy are inconsequential now). i always felt really bad about lying about certain things and i want to come clean. so here's ten things you never would have found out, and probably would never want to know.

1. when i was three and i got tired of waiting for you to be ready to go to the circus. i put the car in neutral and rolled down the driveway through the garage door. for the longest time, i swore that i was traumatized by the event, even going so far as refusing to be left in a car alone until i was 12. in all honesty, it was the most exciting ride of my life and my first clear memory. and you know my affinity for birch beer comes from that day... when you went over to the neighbor's house with me because they saw me crash into the garage. they gave me birch beer and i've loved it ever since.

2. i was pretty young and had just learned about calling and harassing the operator. i called maybe 10 times in a row, whispered "fuck you" and hung up. when they finally got fed up and called back, saying a young girl had been calling and saying bad things, i convinced you it was your son and you grounded him for a week. it was me.

3. i think i was about 10 or so and i found $54 dollars on the floor in the closet. i thought it had probably been there for a while so i picked it up and stuffed it in my pocket without saying a word. later that evening when you asked me if i'd seen money on the floor anywhere, i was lying when i said no. that money kept me in candy for weeks. yummmmm.

4. for several years in high school my friends and i would skip school and come to our house. you always took lunch at the same time, so we would go out to the back yard and hang out in the room under the garage and bake for an hour. i cannot tell you how many times we did this. sometimes the dog would be out on the run and be trying so hard, yapping away to let you know we were in there, but you never picked up on it.

5. you know that guy i dated that you begged me repeatedly never to see again? well one night when you slept at your boyfriends, he stayed the night. my brother swore not to tell you and then told nana. i convinced both you and nana that he was lying, when in fact, i was lying. being the golden child sure had its advantages.

6. you know that time i called and left a message saying that a friend of mine needed me and i had to spend the night at her place so i wouldn't be home? well, that morning i buried my school books in the back of my closet and packed some clothes. i went to the train station and caught an amtrak to boston to meet a guy i had met on the internet. in reality, i stayed at a cheap hotel with a guy who very well may have meant to do me harm. thankfully, i turned out OK. man, i should have been an actress i played that one so well. you even wrote me an absence note for school.

7. you know that guy that i said i met in the mall while he was visiting nyc with some of his navy buddies and he stayed at our house for two nights? i didn't meet him in the mall, i met him online. he was a really nice guy though, unlike the creep visiting boston.

8. remember when i was 17 and flew to seattle to meet all those people off the internet that i said were just friends? they weren't. we had a big, week-long orgy and it was great! just kidding. most of them were (and still are) pretty good friends. except for the guy i stayed with for the week, i thought i was in love with him but i really just wanted a fantasy to believe in. good thing i figured that out BEFORE i ran away.

9. and california... oh my god. you have no clue. you're first big "mommy" act ever was to give me a copy of your platinum card when i went out there for a year of school. this was to be used for food, electricity, books, rent, and transportation. food = going to the close-out grocery store and buying ridiculous amounts of alcohol and cigarettes. i lived off cheap frozen pizzas, hot pockets, and taquitos in order to keep costs down and avoid suspicion. and you bought a lot of books. for classes i didn't take. you know the old gas card scam? used sparingly it works wonders at the college bookstore. i feel really, really shitty about this because for all practical purposes i was definitely old enough to know better, even if i was pretty desperate for cash.

10. you were so dead set against me moving out after i got a job. i lied to you about how much my rent was so that i wouldn't have to listen to you bitch about how much money i could save if i stayed home.

Mom, you're awesome. I know we've had our differences (huge at times) but really, your the only mom I've got and you did your best raising two kids on your own. I didn't always make that easy for you, and lacked the insight to see how hard you tried every day to do the best you could for us, while still living your own life. I love you. And if I had it to do all over again, I wouldn't change a damn thing. OK except maybe the book scam... that's just so fucking low.

I'm bored in Business Tech...therefore I do quizes....

Recipie for me=
3 parts Delight
2 parts Warmth
1 part Intellect

Splash of Prosperity

Finish off with an olive
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am 20% Shy

You aren't shy at all, in fact, you're quite outgoing.
You are comfortable in almost any social situation, no matter how awkward or difficult it may be.
You can make conversation easily, and you know how to focus on other people.
If anything, you're the type of person who can put someone shy at ease.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am a Natural Flirt

Believe it or not, you're a really effective flirt.
And you're so good, you hardly notice that you're flirting.
Your attitude and confidence make you a natural flirt.
And the fact that you don't know it is just that more attractive!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Apperently I Make a Great First Impression

You can handle almost any social situation with grace, even the tricky ones.
Strangers often find you charming and interesting. You are often remembered fondly.
Even if you're not naturally outgoing, you can make conversation with anyone if you need to.

Whether you were born this way or had to work to get here, you are definitely charismatic.
You're popular and well liked. People definitely look forward to being around you.
Your social connections bring you a full and rich life. You understand how important it is to make a lasting impression.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And Lastly I'm an Athiest

God? No thanks. You're not buying into any religion.
They're all bunk to you. You rather focus on what you know is true.
You may be a passive non-believer or a rabid atheist activist.
But one thing is for sure... no one's going to make you go to church!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well there you go the boredom of my mind in the middle of Tech and nothing to do but use a computer....I hate these little quiz things, they are inaccruate, based off of a chaos generater I think, and five to ten questions can't sum up even the most basic human ideal, function, or belief

I seem to be posting quite a bit tonight. Eh. These are some songs my father and I are working on do to us wanting to play together. Some are songs he wrote back in the day and I am helping him work them out while others are ones we are co-writting. They are all Irish tunes with a bit of rock, jazz/blues, and with my influences of regge, punk, funk, and poetic rhyme. Also a whole lot of Blarney! Also want to get my song writting back up and going again so tell me what you think.

It's The Devil In Me (Imagine a carnival-like droning from the accordian and no other instruments with this song)

O help me I think I'm falling
In_to_Hell_again
My head is still a burnin' and I'm goin'
Round and round again                (Chorus)
O help me I think I just fell in_to_Hell_again
Now I know for sure thats its the devil in a me

(Chorus)

Well I had this offal dream
I couldn't even scream
I was too drunk to walk
I couldn't even talk
I could see stars that night
Must have been in a fight
If I could only see
It's the devil in me

I heard this knock at the door
Couldn't get up off the floor
There must be someone there
But sure I really don't care
Maybe they will go away
I'll start a brand new day
Thats what we all have said
It's the devil in me

(Chorus)

I'm going up and then comin' back down again
Moving round and round
Can't you see that I've found
Another sound and town
I feel really fine, twice more around
And I'm homeward bound

I still have those massive scars
From drinking in sleezy bars
I can still see those offal stars
The night I went to planet Mars
while driving some fancy cars
We thought were really ours
Know I now for sure it's
The devil in me

***This song is both a description of the life of an alchohalic musician as well as what life is like as a musician in general. Also it is my da's trophy for defeating his alchohalism. This is a final master peice and I don't care what people think Da and I did a fucking amazing job.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm Running Away (This is more of a fast paced fun song. Imagine a little kids nursery beat with a little guitar stumming)

I'm running away and never comming back again
I don't care if you never try to find me a      (Chorus)
I'm running away and never comming back again
I don't care if you never come and look for me!

(Music starts playing)

Intruduction: (Using a little kids voice)
  I don't like my school and everbody hates me. There's big fat Freddy and Little Jimmy. Homework to do every night and I get big F's from my teacher. I can't take it anymore! I think I'm gonna run away and never go to school!

(Chorus)

I have found a nice wee place and it's so warm and cheerful here
There's animals and clowns and thrills and people people riding elephants
Sure you can't see me I'm so happy playing away in this big tent
I sell my popcorn to the crowd and I'm never comming home!

(Chorus)

I am living in a bus with lots of little monkey friends
There's me and Gus and Franky's tusks and Babba chasing both of us
We do our tricks and fetch some sticks its so great I just can't wait
To do it all again and I'm never comming home!

(Chorus)

Here I am in a diffrent town with crowds of people running around
Our costume room has flying baloons were all such fools
There is no school I only wish that you could save me
Running away just doesn't pay I never want to roam again
I really don't want to stay

(Hold)"O Mammy I want to come home!"

***This was written one day while Da and I were thinking and talking about the sense of home and no matter how badly you want to leave, or how far you go. You will always want to come home. I thought explaining this from a little boys perspective would make it a good fun song let alone make the point well because everyone at one point or another when they were little wanted to run away.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Puttin' On The Squeeeeeze (A party song with strong accordian background and a good didly guitar) Anytime it says 'me' you can change it out for 'it' or 'her' anytime, except in the chorus.

Come on and SQUEEEEZZE me
She say to me again and again and again
Please hold me nice and tight
I need to feel those fingers
Up and down from left to right
Come on now and SQUEEEEZZE me         (Chorus)
She says until the morning light
Please hold me nice and tight
Were gonna keep playing this thing all night
Until we get it right!

(1)
You can sqeeze me in the ally
""  ""  ""  "" "" "" park
""  ""  ""  "" "" "" morning time
Or squeeze me after dark
You can take her to the beach
In her fancy leather case
Can damn near squeeze her keys
In any party place

(2)
Some nights she's very heavy
And some nights she's rather light
Some nights I can't even find the thing
She's the story of my life!
But when we're together now
On goes the lights
I push and pull
And scream and shout
Then everythings alright

(Chorus)

So welcome to Heaven here's your harp
And a nice guitar for you
But welcome to Hell
Fight your accordian
It will make you turn black and blue
It grabs you around the throat
Then it beats your back too
It feels so good when you git it on
It wants to be next to you

(4)
It pinches me in the legs
And it has ruined all my good clothes
It disturbs the neighbors
And the cat and wakes the dead lord knows
I have this fear that it will go in and never come out again
It makes me laugh and it makes me cry
It's my ACCORDIAN!!!!!!

(5)
There's buttons here and buttons there
Buttons everywhere
What are they for I wonder
But nobody knows for sure
For me I honestly believe
That himself the Devil put them there
Just to confuse the hell out of me
It enought to make you swear!

1 again + Chorus that fades

***This is my first try at writting a song in a long time. Its to honor my fathers accordian that he has had since he was sixteen. Based off of all the stories he has told me about the crazy times they have had together I tried to write about what it is to play one, loving so much it makes your heart explode when you play it right to when you want to crush the damned thing.

This poem is a work in progress, which is why it is up here rather than in my house. Would love feedback.

Mesmerizing
The world seems maximizing
The people prophacizing
Wars pulverizing
Darkness emasculating
Men
With their power
Money
Weapons
And hungerious greed
Are terrifingly feminizing
I find this all mesmerizing

A passage from one of Salman Rushdie's books. Read it and really think about it. He is one of the most inciteful people on the planet. It will blow your mind if you understand it.

"For a long time I have believed...in a fourth function of Outsidedness - that in every generation there are a few souls, call them lucky or cursed, who are simply born not to belong, who come into the world semi-detached if you like, without strong affiliation with family or location or nation or race; that there may even be millions, billions of such souls as many non-belongers as belongers perhaps, that; in sum, the phenomenon may be as "natural" a manifestation of human nature as its opposite, but one that has been mostly frustrated, throughout human history, by lack of opportunity. And not only by that; for those who value stability, who fear transience, uncertainty, change, have erected a powerful system of stigmas and taboos against rootlessness; that disruptive, anti-social force, so that we mostly conform, we pretend to be motivated by loyalties and solidarities we do not really feel, we hide our secret identities beneath the false skins of those identities which bear the belongers' seal of approval. But the truth leaks out in our dreams; alone in our beds (because we are all alone at night, even if we do not sleep by ourselves), we soar, we fly, we flee. And in the waking dreams our societies permit, in our myths, our arts, our songs, we celebrate the non-belongers, the different ones, the outlaws, the freaks."

                   ~~~Salman Rushdie~~~

Think about it!

I saw this thing on "Best of Craigslist" it is a REAL craigslist posting...its fucking hilarious!!!

Instructions: Please answer the questions below as directed in each section. You will be marked for grammar, spelling, cleverness, creativity and boob-size. Please keep in mind that while this is not an application for a job, your performance on this test will be a reflection of your ability to achieve certain positions once out in the real world. When the clock strikes the hour, you may begin. You have sixty minutes to complete the test.


Section One: Multiple Choice (Answer All, 5 points)

When submitting answers via email, please copy and paste the question and then your answer selection beside it.

Q1. Six months into our relationship, I go away to a tropical location with my family for a week over Christmas. This vacation was planned as a family event two years prior to meeting you. This is:
a) A great opportunity to get some things done without me around.
b) A great opportunity to attempt to sleep with my college roommate and/or my boss.
c) A sign that you are probably just a casual thing that I could toss aside at any given moment despite the fact I bought you probably the most thoughtful gift you've ever received and written you a letter for every day that I'll be gone, inciting you to 'Go on the Defensive.'
d) Occasion to have a sexy dinner at home the night before I leave, and a mini 'welcome home' party when I get back that’s guest list is just you, me, a bottle of wine and a pack of condoms.

Q2. We've talked every night for eight days (not including the dinner/opera show I took you to on Saturday night that was followed by possibly your worst performance in bed ever, or the Monday night that I came over and we spent the evening making Rachel Ray recipes and watching Heroes followed by the best oral sex I've ever given you), with conversation time averaging about an hour per night. On a Thursday night, when on a deadline, I express a need to get off the phone so I can finish some work and go to bed at a reasonable hour. You:
a) Express your feelings of devotion in three words or less, then and quickly say goodbye after confirming plans for tomorrow night are still on.
b) Say goodbye, but then immediately begin talking about something that we hadn't discussed as thoroughly as is scientifically, legally or religiously possible two nights prior.
c) Take that as a sign that I'm abandoning you, and begin to point out that because of it I have commitment issues, that you're clearly not my priority, and then cry.

Waltz

Step close
Step away
Step close
Step away
Triple one
Triple two
this waltz we do
Circles and circles
Step close
Feel the heat
Sweat
Love
Passion
Growth
Step away
Feel the wilt
Jealousy
Confusion
Dryness
Cold
Step close
Step away
Triple one
Triple two
Spinin' and wirlin'
Like we do
Around the floor
More and more
less and less
Lost
Then found
Crushed toes
Hightened spirits
Exausted bodies
As the music dies down
To the last slow song
Everyone looks aross the floor
and all I know
Is I love you

Fluttering Light
I'm burnt out
Lost
Tainted by self abuse
I've meandered the streets
I've seen it all
Shootings
Stabbings
Victimizations of all sorts
I've spent every moment
Making life better for others
Then one night
On a screen
I see a caretaker
Who has been through it
Lost that innocence
That I gave away for a thrill
Knows life for the giving
This little fluttering light
Small and blinding
Has made me see
See what I'm made of
What I will be
What I desire
Driven again
A fluttering light is all it took
A Firefly is all it is
Yet
I have found Humane Perfection
I will chase this Firefly
all night and day
Just to be reborn
Again
And again
And again....

Exomatic Insomnia

With a single choice
Microscopic pins
An entire galaxy can change
With a single choice
Macroscopic bugs
A persons world can change
Under unexplained reasons
We humans have a gift
A special uniqueness
The ability of awareness
Awareness of the power of choice
More so
We control the awareness
And yet
Even though we all have this gift
Most wander the world
In a dream
Of stolid insomnia
               ~Patrick N. Commins

Well here I am, once again, watching the sunrise and set. Watching the cars drive by to work, then watching them come back. Sitting as the songs on birds die away, along with the rest of the existance of sound, leaving me alone till the day begins again. Most people don't wakingly exist during the hours of my waking dreams. I wish more people understood what this was like.

I'm moveing all of my poetry that was in my house to here....to save space I think is the reason.
