Soothing yet ominous, the feeling can warm your soul. But, this sensation lasts only until the day you suddenly realize that you have no idea who this person that you are looking at is at all. And as you gaze into the looking glass, you only see yourself staring back. In all other instances, this would be quite fine; one could even call it typical or ordinary. But, this particular reflection was like no other imagined. Through the looking glass, this is what he saw: A pale, hollow face with two brown eyes staring back at him. And when he peered even closer, he could see the faint image of the back of a head walking away...

Interesting entries to say the least...I feel so left out these days. Where has the time gone? Where has my desire to post gone? Will it "take me back?"

Relatives of my friends are being evacuated from their homes and only given two hours to collect their belongings. May they be protected as we pray for a miracle.

Who can say???????????????? Current mood:  indescribableWednesday, September 24, 200310:14PM - Silence is golden.I learned yet another valuable lesson tonight. I realized that you don't always have to talk things to death because it can inadvertently kill other things. I also came to the conclusion with the help of a not-yet-fallen angel that thinking may not necessarily be such a valuable commodity in the psychological realm of things. In fact, it does seem to make things rather complicated and messy. And who likes to be a mess? Who likes a mess? Who wants to clean up a mess? I thought that I did and that there was nothing wrong with an occasional Spring cleaning (albeit fall is almost among us). I wouldn't be who I am without that occasional cleaning. However, I was reminded tonight that a cleaner upper is not always welcome nor needed. I can accept that I think. Well, at least I will try to tolerate it.

Current mood: satisfiedCurrent music: VNV Nation 9:05PM - Southpark SageA couple of nights ago, I watched an episode of "Southpark" in which the adults were attempting to teach the children about the importance of tolerance. Of course, they went about it in the most absurd way; but, in the end, a lesson was learned. I, too, learned a very valuable lesson (albeit from a cartoon on Comedy Central). That lesson becomes more succinct the more I think about it. And this is what I have learned: There is a huge difference between tolerance and acceptance. Both are intrinsically positive values to espouse; yet they lie worlds apart from one another in their respective inherent meanings. And that is perfectly alright. I don't mind accepting what I tolerate! Current mood:  contemplativeCurrent music: The Creatures - Godzilla Sunday, September 21, 20039:47PM - Anonymous Call Rejection Rocks!!!I am so glad that I was wise enough to forward that service to my soon-to-be new telephone number. The phone just rang and if I did not have that feature, I would have been forced to be rather unkind and curt to a certain Darla, whom I thought understand in no uncertain terms that I no longer wished to speak to her. It's been at least a few months now I think. When we spoke last, I was very cordial and wished her well. I just don't have time for ungrateful people in my life. Move on... Current mood:  apatheticCurrent music: Beyonce - Crazy In Love Tuesday, September 16, 200310:49PM - Madonna on OprahI just watched a small bit of Madonna on today's Oprah, which I recorded of course. I cannot help it - I love her. Madonna is simply beautiful - media whore and all! Current mood: enthralled10:43PM - Out of BoundsI am firm believer in maintaining self-derived conclusions about lovers or lack thereof. Why should we stick our necks out (or any other body part one might "stick out") for the possibility of an allegorical happiness that we are not capable, nor willing, to reach? The status quo isn't as bad as its alternative. Truly, it isn't! And I am content with my status quo.com!!! Current mood:  irritatedSunday, September 14, 20039:45PM - Thank God there's a Siouxsie lyric to quote for everything!All I ever needed is twice removed.
