COUNTING STARS Nia sat om the porch silently counting stars all she could see from Earth to Mars She wondered if she could count that high there were millions up in the sky Her mother joined her in her silent quest She was about to cry should she tell Nia the rest Life seemed so simple so carefree and easy now everything was confusing not so breezy Nia was only six and has so little time Having her here seems such a crime Mother/daughter moments are so precious and few all Joy could manage was I Love You |
CELEBRATION AT NITRO's Tonight, we celebrate the end of another week at our favorite night spot it is a party we seek My best friend, Laurie picks me up for our fun night great friends and music await will make this time right Two great guys we intend to meet named Larry and Rick this is going to be sweet When we arrive the place is packed we find some room the sound barrier won't be cracked My drink of choice would be a Mai Tai or Hummer If they don't have ice cream that would be a bummer Those were the days I wish I could relive We were young, free, and full of life What I wouldn't give Dancing at Nitro's was one of the best times I had those times slip away too fast Still when I think back, I'm glad ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** |
I like doing reviews. Reading is somewhat of a solace for me. I can lose myself in someone else's piece. Tank You WDC! Happy Father's Day to all Dad's. |
I just received some bad news. I entered The Great Blog Off. I just saw the results. I didn't make it to the next round. I had a premonition that I wouldn't, but seeing it in black & white is like a huge pin to my balloon of hope.Oh well. I still have Give It 100 and I'll do reviewing. I also have the secondary account. i can build that up more. I have some ideas on how to do that. ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** |
I can't believe it's almost two years since my last entry. I feel like I'm closer to a divorce now than I was then. John is on my last nerve. He needs to vacate this place, my life, and daily routine. That's not all that happened. My sperm donor bit the dust. Finally! I shed no tears. I feel no sadness. I don't grieve. What I WANT to do is celebrate. I want to plan a long trip away from here. Some place warm is where I want to go. Lie on a chaise lounge by a pool. Hold a Mai Tai. Meet new people and be alone. I want to visit Hawaii. I want to eat REAL Italian food from Italy. There is so much undone. Till next time. ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** |
I don't consider myself skilled at anything. In my family of origin, the oldest boy is skilled at mechanical issues. The daughter is skilled at cooking and child rearing{she doesn't have children}. The youngest son is a skilled artist. Even though I'm the eldest of this line, I'm viewed as a mistake. What I do or say doesn't measure up to these other offspring. I guess I'm skilled at making it through another day. I'm trying to be a fair writer. I know it takes time and patience. I have plenty of both. |
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0061735/ indent}I never committed the ultimate faux pas. If I even tried, My parents would have been livid. If I had done this, the movie I probably would have watched is Guess Who's Coming To Dinner.Mu father never liked this movie. Why? Because its centered on a interracial couple. The fact I was forbidden from seeing this piqued my curiosity and wonderment. I was in elementary school when the movie premiered. I didn't see the movie until I was living on my own years later. When I saw the movie, it was obviously dated. But what I noticed was, even though it showed prejudice, to me it was quite tame.Slowly, I'm shaking off the bigotry and prejudice I was raised with. I refuse to raise my son in that type of environment. My father thinks I'm wronng, but it is he who is wrong. |
I don't have a favorite screenwriter or know any. I feel that the screenwriters need to be recognized and respected just like the actors & actresses receive. The are the meat nd potatoes of a movie or television show. They are the people who take a book or concept and work tirelessly to adapt it to the screen for movies or television. |
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0278192/ Even though this cartoon had a short run, I remember watching episodes when I was five. I used to laugh at Felix, and wished I could have a real cat of my own. My parents didn't allow a pet until I was almost ten. We got a dog. She was a cockapoo and we named her Sandy. We had her from the age of five weeks to thirteen years. As I grew older, I began to fear cats. I wasn't around them much, but when I was, they would stir fear in me with their agility, speed, and aloofness. I'm sorry Felix didn't last longer. |
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000116/?ref_=tt_ov_dr I usually don't pay attention to the directors of a movie or television show. However, Titanic was a movie I would see many times. I liked how realistic the scenes were. The camera angles were spectacular. The one scene that made the audience feel like they were on the Titanic was when the ship was to take its final dive and had Rose and Jack hang on for dear life. I couldn't tell you any of Mr. Cameron's other films. I really was pleased when he received the Oscar for Best Director. |
