9:39 am	For those of you looking…. Back published blogs can be found on the following dates: 2009: 8/29 9/2812/1712/21 12/31 2010: 1/1 1/6 1/121/13 1/15 1/16 1/17 1/19 1/26 If you cannot read them it means they are not fully open to all friends just yet. They will be over the next few weeks. I will also be putting up several more from dated from1/29 to current over the next week (maybe a bit longer due to time constraints). There are some ones that pre-date the above that deal with health issues and even Katrina at some point in the distant future I will more than likely open those up as well For now, I just want to get through this process. Be patient, there has been a lot going on with my health and it takes up a considerable amount of my energy. Current Mood: awake (Comment on this)

1:43 am	The Fire Part One Since it's going on national news.... It was the house next door that caught on fire. Tony was not there at the time and he is safe. Except for some minor cuts and debris injuries everyone is safe. As for our building. Shane was at work. Jay, Heather and one of kids got out. We got Miss Dixie and her great nephew out. Chris had the sense to grab the hose, I screwed it in and turned it on and one of the neighbors hauled it outside. Someone else got a hose probably from Joe's across the street. Thank god for the hoses. The fire was so intense and all the buildings are literally on top of each other here in the Quarter. Flames and fiery debris were shooting out to Heathers wooden balcony. Part of our building is attached to that one, once again thankfully in the rear or we would have lost everything. Chris and a couple of other guys got on top of trucks parked in front of the houses and spayed the water on the balcony and our side of the building and then when that became too dangerous as debris was falling on the trucks they began to hose down vehicles. I'll probably write more about it later, but I was only home because I am so sick or I would have been at work. So I need to get warmer (the cold is not good for me right now) and honestly I don't think breathing in any of the smoke and fumes was what I needed right now. NOPD and NOFD did a fantastic job getting here and clearing the crowds of idiot tourists. By the way when you take those pics with your cell phone and upload them you are tying up phone lines--it took me 3 tries to get through to 911 not to mention blocking the fucking street. Also a big thank you to Lafitte's Guesthouse who let Miss Dixie in where it was warm. I have wonderful neighbors from handling hoses to door pounding to people shouting "heather" "rose" "Miss Dixie" "fire" "get out". Honestly, my ears are badly clogged up and I was asleep if it wasn't for that racket and hearing those words together I probably would of said Mardi Gras and turned back and gone back to sleep.

2:35 am	Hello There I have been writing when I have and the time and the energy to do so. Some of it is just ranting; a lot of it explains various health issues I have been dealing with. I know some people have wondered why I have done certain things or not done certain things if you read through these entries you will understand. I haven't published much of it for a variety of reasons (employment, family, privacy, and legal as in I may be suing someone). Then there is whole my plans keep falling through phenomenon which makes me look as if I am often blowing smoke out my ass. However, I am now at a point where I can start making some of this public. I will be publishing various writings as they were written so they will be back dated. Some may be restricted to certain people (those who I know in real life who are already aware of certain situations) for the next few weeks. Just be patient and you will understand why I felt the need to proceed in this manner. Current Mood: sick (2 Comments |Comment on this)

10:09 pm	Did It! Well two days after I wanted to drop the notice off I wound up shoving it under the store door. My last day will be the 31st. I felt bad about shoving it under the door but, SM is opening so I know she will get it. There was just no time over the weekend and I've been feeling so damn ill. Anyway, it's done and it will all be over soon. Current Mood: accomplished (Comment on this)

4:19 pm	You Just Won't Get Away With It I was nine years old when my mother passed right before Christmas. The following Valentine's Day my father remarried and shortly thereafter brought his new wife home. A day or two after she arrived, we had a wee disagreement. Her name was Mary and that is how I referred to her. She didn't like that. I called her Mary. She insisted I call her "mother" or "mom". I told her "you are not my mother". Then it happened. Fast as lightening, out of nowhere a cold and hard slap across my face. I was a bit shocked. As fucked up as my family was no one had ever done that before. I didn't run away crying. I sure as hell didn't attack her back. Something came over me I had never felt before. Something I would feel many times over again in my life. I just stared at her. I looked her right in the eye. I said, "You are not going to get away with this. You are not going to get away with any of it.". We stared at one another. She blinked first. I turned on my heel and walked away. She may have gotten away with that slap, but by April she was gone. By May they were divorced. While at the time I would have liked to have thought I had something to with that the reality was I had nothing to do with it. In the end she didn't get away with it. Over the years when that feeling has come over me, I rarely have offered up any comment. I have stood and stared until they blink or turn away or start ranting like a crazy person. Not a single one of them as ever gotten away with the crap they were trying to pull. In the end they always got their comeuppance. Current Mood: predatory (Comment on this)

6:02 am	Testinq 1,2,3,4.. Yeah, there are a lot of quizzes being published. I started using them as an exercise of sorts to get me back into a daily writing habit. Not so much for the writing but, just for the discipline of actually sitting down at the computer for writing. I also felt it might help that whole getting to know me thing I hear about from people on myspace. I figured my responses along with the results give some indication into my personality, interests, and lifestyle without getting too deep or personal. For many reasons. I don't really care to write a lot on myspace and in some ways I think that blog has somewhat prevented me from doing a great deal of writing elsewhere at least publicly and on a regular basis. I am hoping to get back to writing on a regular schedule. Also, excuse some of the typos. I use Word and have been running spell checks. For some reason it's not picking up on things. I also am using a temporary keyboard until I get a new one. I killed my keyboard last week. I'm very hard on keyboards. Current Mood: awake (Comment on this)

11:16 am	There are thousands... There seem to be thousands of these women. Here they primarily come from a place known as Metairie though with increasing frequency they can be found in the Quarter and the Marigny. I'm not one of them. Not only am I okay with that, I damn happy about it. Current Mood: cold (Comment on this)

2:22 pm	Mermaid Lyrics I really like Jonatha Brooke. Her song Prodigal Daughter is one of my new favorites. However, the lyrics to this song are so evocative. It really makes me think of the past and the future. I'd like to be able to do what I love for a living again or at least something close. The reference to the legs being needles and pins refers to the original tale of the Little Mermaid. When she leaves the sea and is given legs, the legs are painful and every step is like "walking on shards of glass". I unfortunately I understand the whole concept all too well. Mermaid by Jonatha Brooke I know you'll do it Do it for this One day you'll think he's the one. You'll follow him over oceans He'll promise you the world He will parade you around the seas He'll murmur his affections, his devotion He will convince you to leave the deep He'll promise you the world If you do it anyway, Why would you do it for love If you do it anyway, Why would you do it for love If you do it anyway, Why would you do it for love Do it for Love You will ride the ocean Nobody's given you You will ride the ocean Nobody's given you Your legs fell the first to needles and pins And then your voice mmmm You promised him you'd come back forever He promised you the world If you do it anyway, Why would you do it for love If you do it anyway, Why would you do it for love If you do it anyway, Why would you do it for love If you do it anyway, Would you do it for love Do it for Love Current Mood: contemplative (Comment on this)
