Praise to the women on my journey / who showed me the ways to go and the ways not to go. / Whose strength and compassion held up a torch of light / and beckoned me to follow. / Who showed me how to live and how not to live. / Who showed me what I am and what I am not. / Whose love, encouragement and / confidence held me tenderly / and nudged me gently. / To the women on my journey / who taught me love / by means of both darkness and light, / to these women I say bless you and / thank you from the depths of my heart… / For I have been healed and / set free through your joy / and your understanding. / ______ This has been something written in my journal for years. Something I have taken strength from, something I have respected and something I have looked up to. The women in my life have been diverse, to say the least …yet they have each taught me something.

I got attacked by a dog a few days ago. It came out of nowhere this thing snarling and growling. Not sure what it was …. Some psychopathic pit-bull Chihuahua…… / Readers Digest Book of Handy Hints says “ Once the attack has commenced use anything on your person as a weapon” ….I only had a Bic biro … what was I supposed to do …. Write on it?! (Please f**k off) / The owner came sloping along … I knew it was the owner he had ‘Bollocks’ tattooed across his forehead. I shout out “ Hey mate!.. MATE!! ..can you call your dog off?” He snorted back.. “Don’t be a pussy mate………he even likes kids”…I thought I bet he does …………..with gravy. / “You must have done something to get it going’ / Like what? Sniffing it’s arse ………….or humping it’s leg!! I was lucky to get away from both of them. / I got home to find the bank have stopped calling me “ Dear valued customer” …. is that an omen? / See……….. they give you an umbrella when the sun’s out and when it starts raining they take it back again. ……they’ll lend you money alright, as long as you can provide evidence that you don’t need it. …………. I always need it!! Well it does come in handy …especially with the recent news….. My daughter has a new man in her life ….. It seems things are getting very serious now and she’s talking about changing her name to his……………… that’s ok but………. I’m never going to get used to calling her Rodney. I wish them a long and happy marriage , the same as I wished myself. …..Mind you that dream was shattered a short time back when after thirty years of marriage my wife and I decided to call it a day. / Let me tell you wether a relationship is good or bad, after thirty years of being together when that person is no longer there it leaves a big gap to fill….. I wandered around in a bit of a daze at first…….started doing things I don’t normally do………..like the dishes, making the bed…. / She said I never told her I loved her enough.…….,she said even Adam said to Eve ‘I love you’………… course he did… who else was there?! He’s hardly seeing someone on the side is he? He’s not exactly out with the lads every night is he? Coming home pissed looking for ‘rumpy pumpy’ No! / And Eve wouldn’t have had to pressure him much if he did turn up late….. “WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE BEEN???!” “…………………………………...over there.” She called me a typical man ……………. A typical man. what’s that supposed to mean? By that reckoning Jesus was a typical man ……He said he’d be back again and nobody’s seen him since. I wish my bank manager would take a leaf from him
“I cannot expect even my own art to provide all of the answers, only to hope it keeps asking the right questions.” ~ Grace Hartigan / ...
“I cannot expect even my own art to provide all of the answers, only to hope it keeps asking the right questions.” ~ Grace Hartigan I have a few questions for those (specifically my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ) who voted Yes on Proposition 8 here in California. The rules are simple enough – the more questions you can provide a good, sensible answer to, the more respect you earn. I’m not necessarily doing this to be incendiary…. However, I can’t help but think that the reason why the issue of homosexuality and gay marriage has gone on for this long is, not because there are right answers that people are ignoring, but because the right questions are not being asked… and that when they are, the people who are confronted with those questions are either too cowardly or too arrogant to answer them head on. In any case, let the quiz begin: _____________ / _____________ 1. On a scale of 1 to 10, where would you rate yourself in terms of your knowledge about homosexuality, particularly about how it relates to our culture and homosexual individuals today? (1 being “no knowledge” and 10 being “extremely knowledgeable” on the subject) 2. Where does your knowledge come from, and can you back up your information with credible, solid, factual evidence (studies/ statistics/ etc)? If so, please provide your facts and supporting evidence here, and ANSWER WITH CAUTION: what you say here may very well reveal whether or not you’re prejudiced, naïve, and/ or prone to believing stereotypes as fact. 3. If your knowledge of homosexuality comes solely from what you’ve read in the Bible, then please read carefully: There are 66 books (861 pages, NIV) that make up the Bible. In the 861 pages that make up those 66 books, how many times does the subject of homosexuality even get mentioned explicitly? And in each instance, how in depth does it get discussed? 4. Follow up question to #3: If an atheist knows less than 10 (out of the countless number of) things Jesus said in the Bible, how qualified would he then be to engage in a theological debate with, say, C.S Lewis, who, to say the least, understood the Bible and Christ much more thoroughly? ____________ / ____________ (NOTE #1: If you are still wondering how and why questions 3 and 4 are related, you may stop reading now, forget you opened this journal, and do something more worth your while. If God truly intends to expand your knowledge on the issue of homosexuality and how to deal with it, chances are He either will do it later in your life, and/ or do it through something or someone other than me.) ____________ / ____________ 5. Time and time again, it has been said that knowing God is not about following rules, but the extent and depth of one’s relationship with Jesus Christ. Through our relationship with Christ, we can know and see God (John 14:6). Let me begin to draw a parallel, here: How many close relationships/ friendships do you have with people who are homosexual? 6. Follow up to question #5: If you have absolutely no close relationships with anyone who is gay, spent time with them, talked to them, made a serious effort to understand them, put yourself in their shoes, and LOVE them as Christ loves you, then how qualified are you to speak on the subject of homosexuality if you’ve only viewed it from your side of the fence, and dealt with it only from a distance? 7. Follow up to question #6: Can a man truly say anything wise about God, without first having a close relationship with Jesus Christ? ____________ / ____________ (NOTE #2: If you do not understand why questions 5, 6, and 7 are related, please refer back to NOTE #1) ____________ / ____________ 8. (SPECIAL grouped question) If Leviticus 18:22 counts as a solid argument against homosexuality to you, especially when looked at alongside John 14:15, then please read Leviticus 19: 19, 26-28, 32… and also Leviticus 11: 10-11. Now, let me ask you: Do you wear clothing of mixed fabrics? Have you ever eaten a steak / hamburger that was prepared rare as opposed to well-done? As a man, have you ever shaved? Have you ever gotten a tattoo? Have you ever jumped to your feet in the presence of an elderly person, or if you were sitting, did you remain seated? Have you ever eaten shellfish? 9. Follow up to Question #8: If you answered Yes to any of the grouped questions relating to Chapters 11 and 19 of Leviticus, then please explain in depth as to how you can use Leviticus 18:22 as a case against homosexuality without sounding like a hypocrite, especially if used alongside John 14:15. 10. If you believe that the story of Sodom and Gomorrah’s destruction counts as a case against homosexuality (rather than inhospitality), then please explain why cities with a significant “gay” demographic such as San Francisco, New York, Philadelphia, and Amsterdam are still standing. 11. Follow up to question #10: If you believe that the story of Sodom and Gomorrah’s destruction has anything to do with homosexuality as it is understood today, then please provide the number of instances since Sodom and Gomorrah in which foreigners spent the night in a city, and all the men of that city came to the house they were staying in and demanded to have sex with them. 12. Read Genesis 19: 4-5. If all the men that were eager to rape Lot’s guests could indeed be labeled homosexual, does this then mean that all incarcerated men who commit prison rape are homosexual as well? Why or why not? 13. For those of you who are familiar with the story behind former New Jersey Governor Jim McGreevy’s extramarital affair with another man (you can get a quick briefing on it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_McGreevey) , let me ask you: while McGreevy was indeed committing adultery with a man, the fact remains that, beforehand, he had been married to a woman for 8 years and even had children with her. Does this then mean that he is a straight man nonetheless? Why or why not? (depending on how you answered Questions 12 and 13, I might ask you to refer back to Question 1 and re-evaluate yourself) There are also, of course, a few instances in the New Testament in which homosexuality is mentioned… although the only instance where it’s discussed in more than just one or two words is Romans 1:26-27. For now, however, let’s examine a verse in which Paul (the only author of the New Testament to say anything at all about homosexuality) merely mentions it in passing. 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 (NLT) Don’t you know that those who do wrong will have no share in the Kingdom of God? Don’t fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, who are idol worshipers, adulterers, male prostitutes, homosexuals, thieves, greedy people, drunkards, abusers, and swindlers – none of these will have a share in the Kingdom of God. There was a time when some of you were just like that, but now your sins have been washed away, and you have been set apart for God. You have been made right with God because of what the Lord Jesus Christ and the Spirit of our God have done for you. Now, homosexuals are only one out of the 10 groups of people Paul lists in verses 9 and 10. Adulterers are another one, which brings us to question number 14 on this quiz: 14. (SPECIAL grouped question) How did Jesus define adultery in Matthew 5:27-28? Once you know Christ’s definition of adultery, ask yourself if you have ever been guilty of adultery, and if you have ever been guilty of it even after accepting Christ into your heart? 15. Follow up question to #14: If you answered No on question #14, please refer to Exodus 20:16 and Matthew 12:36, and explain what exactly those two verses mean to you, if anything. 16. Follow up question to #15: If you answered yes on question #14, but you use 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 to argue against homosexuality, and that homosexuals are indeed going straight to Hell, no questions asked… then please explain why you believe that Jesus is not referring specifically to you in Matthew 7: 3-4. Now, for Romans 1:26-27. This, along with Leviticus 18:22, is probably the most famous verse used to condemn homosexuals. This is also the same pair of verses that should have gotten Christians (particularly those who are married) asking some serious questions once the issue of gay marriage became inescapable. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen, but I’ll ask it here. Before that, however, let’s see what the verse actually says. Romans 1:26-27 (NIV) / Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way, the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion. Let us assume, first and foremost, that you have chosen not to believe that this verse was taken out of the context of loveless, emotionally cold homosexual sex that was one of the many acts resulting from idol worship (see Romans 1:25), and that you are instead choosing to take these verses at face value. Now, let’s take a second look at the relations discussed in those verses: “God gave them over to shameful LUSTS/ the men… were inflamed with LUST for one another” Which now brings now to… 17. Since lust is the only emotion described in Romans 1:26-27, does this then mean that lust is the only emotion that homosexuals feel towards one another? 18. Follow up question to #17: If it is indeed true that a hunger for sex is all homosexuals feel towards each other, then please explain why they would have any desire at all to get married. 19. Follow up to question #18 (those of you who are married, PAY ATTENTION): Is marriage an act of lust? Please explain why or why not. 20. (specifically intended for Christians that are currently in loving, satisfying marriages) Please list the reasons why you married your husband/ wife. 21. Follow up to question #20: Did it ever occur to you that gay couples have a desire to marry for the exact same reasons you listed? 22. Follow up to question #21: If indeed gay couples desire to marry for the same reasons you did, yet their desire is sinful while yours is not, then please give an in depth explanation as to how you are not guilty of what is being described in Proverbs 20:10. 23. Assuming that you refuse to believe the basis of question #20, and that the only single reason gay couples desire to marry is because of sexual desire, then can you provide solid, credible, factual proof of that? If so, please review Questions #1-2, and more importantly #5-7, THEN provide your proof here. And while you’re at it, be sure to also explain what is so sexual/ lustful/ frivolous about this The purpose of Proposition 8 here in California was to ban gay marriage and make it illegal. It’s main slogan? Protect Marriage, or the sanctity of marriage, to be more specific. Which brings us to… 24. Is the union of a man and a woman the ONLY thing that is required to make a marriage sacred? 25. If you answered Yes to question 24, does this then mean that arranged marriages, marriages done out of convenience, marriages done for the sake of money, and marriages that occur between two drunkards in the Elvis chapel at Las Vegas are ALSO sacred, just so long as it is between a man and a woman? And if not, why are there no constitutional amendments trying to put a stop to those kinds of marriages as well? While discussing the sanctity of marriage, it should be noted that marriage has been very commercialized and publicized in our culture today. Here’s a short list of the number of reality TV shows that have been based on marriage. The titles are more or less self explanatory, but you can always look them up if you want more details on them: Who Wants To Marry A Millionaire? Who Wants To Marry My Dad? Joe Millionaire Married by America The Bachelor/ The Bachelorette Newlyweds: Nick & Jessica Til Death Do Us Part: Carmen & Dave 26. Do any of these reality shows desanctify marriage in any way, shape, or form? And if so, why do many Christians spend more time in front of the TV watching these shows instead of protesting at the studios/ locations in which these shows are filmed? 27. Please explain how one could be against gay marriage to protect the sanctity of marriage, and be entertained by marriage reality TV shows (in which many of the televised couples either fail to marry at all, or end up divorcing sometime after) without sounding like a hypocrite. 28. Seeing as to how divorce is the one obvious thing that completely destroys a marriage in the most obvious way, why is there no Constitutional amendment banning that? Is it because gay marriage is a larger threat to the sanctity of marriage than divorce? ____________ / ____________ NOTE #3 In relation to question #28, please keep in mind that the national divorce rate in America stands at about 50% for a couple’s first marriage. The divorce rate for 2nd and 3rd marriages are even higher. Now, the percentage of people who identify themselves as homosexual is widely believed to be around 10%, although some argue that that percentage is even lower. Either way, it then means that the percentage of homosexuals who desire to marry must consist of either that entire 10% or lower. ____________ / ____________ And finally…. 29. Refer back to the questions 17-23, which discussed Romans 1:26-27 in relation to gay marriage. If, by some miracle of God, you have finally come to understand that the issue of homosexuality is something that goes much deeper than being a mere issue of the flesh (refer back to Question #1 and start this quiz again if you still believe otherwise), then how would you deal with the issue of homosexuality and gay marriage when you realize that it is an issue of the HEART? 30. Please explain, in as much detail as you can, how and why this is disgusting in the eyes of God, and not merely in your own opinion. ____________ / ______________ If the point I’ve been trying to make with this quiz still hasn’t sunk in, I’d like to offer you one last opportunity to be a good Christian: Leviticus 20:13 – The penalty for homosexual acts is death to both parties. They have committed a detestable act and are guilty of a capital offense. Well, there you go! While I have been celibate since accepting Jesus into my heart, the fact remains that I’m gay and have “committed homosexual acts” in the past. Feel free to buy a rifle at your nearest gun shop! And once you have, guess what? The next time you come across a rally in which gay people fighting for the right to love each other without fear, you can take your rifle, start a little massacre, and tell everyone you did it because you love Jesus!! After you’re done with that, feel free to contact me via RedBubble. I’d be happy to give you the address to my house so you can pay me a little visit as well. You can aim the gun at the door right after you ring my doorbell. After I open the door to greet you, you can pull the trigger… and as you watch my brains splatter on the opposite wall, you can hold your head up high, and expect that when you finally see God face to face, He will say “Well done, my good and faithful servant!” It’s not like you can refuse the offer, right? After all, a Christian who merely picks and chooses what he likes from the Bible isn’t worthy of being called a Christian, yes? The only kind of Christ follower who deserves that title is one who follows every single command in the Bible literally, correct? So I suppose if you stand by Leviticus 18:22, you might as well follow up and carry out Leviticus 20:13. Sounds like tons of fun, doesn’t it? HOWEVER, Just remember that when you do it, you’ll need to be unshaven, tattoo free, wearing 100% cotton with no mixed fabrics, and you’ll need to have never eaten shellfish or rare meats during any time in your life (see chapters 11 and 19 of Leviticus). After all, it’s just like Jesus said – only the one who’s never sinned is really qualified to throw a stone. I suppose the modern day equivalent would be along the lines of “let he who is perfect be the first one to pull the trigger”

This is Brazilian women reality, scantily clad on the beach, in real, unenhanced photos: !http://www.break-fresh-ground.com/photos/201…
This is Brazilian women reality, scantily clad on the beach, in real, unenhanced photos: My point, dear ladies (especially), is that they are not really more amazingly fit, toned, naturally well built, gorgeous, beautiful, or etc. than you are. They have that reputation, yes; but, the reality is that they are women of varying heights, weights, shapes, levels of fitness; some are prone to cellulite; most are prone to having periods, needing to shave their legs, demanding time from men who may be tired and cranky, and otherwise being human. So, buck up! It doesn’t matter that you are not exotic, that you have to work a full day at the office instead of cavorting in teeny bikinis, and otherwise fail to live up to some juvenile fantasy of how women should be. You are beautiful. And, these women, who are also beautiful, also fail to live up to those fantasies. Besides, have you ever met a man whose every fantasy of a big boobed, tan, completely submissive sex goddess type of woman was fulfilled? Yes? And, was he, then, giving, caring, monogamous to her, a good father to her children? Did he mind that her belly swelled during pregnancy or did he treat her as a fertile sex goddess? Or, did they have to live alone all their lives, no children, to keep up their fantasy? Did he still love her the same when her hair went gray and the wrinkles came? You don’t need the kind of man who lives in a fantasy world. You are the only you in existence- you have your own way of doing things, your own looks, thoughts, feelings, and you are all woman! That is enough fantasy for a real man! Especially when it comes in black silk stockings, or whatever else it is that he likes that you, being a happy woman who knows she is loved, are likely to don, or do, for him! This is Brazilian woman reality, after it’s been plastic-surgeoned to within in inch of it’s life, and quite possibly airbrushed: Here is another fine brazilian woman: There were two comments under her picture. One was “hello cool” and the other one was a plea for her to call someone. Here is another real Brazilian woman Here is some interesting, if slightly frustrating writing, from a site for dating Brazilian women: Another huge and unfortunate mistake that most men make with brazil singles is sharing how they feel too early on. Attractive women are rare. And they get alot of attention from men. Most men do not realize this, but a attractive brazilian woman are being approached in one way or another. An attractive woman is often approached several times a day by men who are interested. This translate into dozens of times per week, and often 100s of times per month. Single brasil men have usually have spent time in a brazilian dating service. One thing that turns hot brazilian guys off and sends her running away faster than just about anything is a guy who starts saying You know, I really like you after you start brasil dating. This signals to brazil women that you are just like all the other guys who fall for her too fast and can not control themselves. A brazil woman is very different from men when it comes to brazilian men videos. You need to accept this fact, and deal with it. When a man sees a beautiful woman, he instantly feels a attraction. But does the same apply for a ukrainian wife? Do women feel attraction to men based mostly on looks? Or is something else going on? Brazilian girls usually have their attraction mechanisms triggered by things other than looks. Have you ever noticed that you see a lot more average and unattractive men with beautiful women than the other way around? Women are more attracted to certain qualities in men and they are attracted to the way a man makes them feel than they are to looks alone. If you know how to use your body language and communication correctly, you can make women feel the same kind of powerful attraction to you that you feel when you see a young woman. But it is not an accident. You have to learn how to do this. One of the most common mistakes that guys make is giving up before they have even gotten started because they think that attractive women are only interested in men who have looks and money or guys who are a certain height or guys who are a certain age. There are some girls who are only interested in brazilian men videos. But most women are far more interested in a man’s personality than some brazil gay pride parade. Frustrating? Why? Because it is mostly true. Only, when you read it, you should pretty much cross out the word ‘Brazilian’ from your mind, and just leave it at women. If you’d do this, and take this advice for women in your own country, you would be a much happier person, woman or man – even if you are a man in a gay pride video, come to think of it. Men, especially: Being nice to women in your own country, instead of learning to do it only for women in other countries, as a last ditch effort to relieve your loneliness, makes for nicer women, a more pleasant planet, and a more stable economy. Think about it! Why only go off and be nice to foreign women, and berate the women in your own country for their attitudes which are developed because of the way they’ve been treated in their own country? Negative sites, negative jokes, negative t-shirt humor, etc. breeds negative women. And, ladies, that is advice for both men and women! Don’t look at your friends, girlfriends, wives, mothers, daughters, etc. and tell them what is wrong with them. Don’t day dream about other people in other countries being more desirable. Don’t look at airbrushed models and movie actresses and hold yourself, your loved ones, or your society up to those impossible standards. Deal with reality! Reality is that, the world over, most people are beautiful, and very few of them are perfect looking. Pretty much every person you see is someone that is going to make another person’s knees tremble with desire! If it isn’t your knees, then you need to ask yourself how much of it is your own negative attitude rather than their hideous features. Because, in general, when it comes to a man with quick change perceptions, a woman is beautiful to a man until he sees something that would be more acceptable to his friends, or until she is married to him, or etc. Then, often, she is no longer desirable, and the joke is that it’s because she lets herself go, gets fat, gets old. Yeah, just like men do? Is that what you mean? If you loved her, if she loved you, a little aging and growing of love handles wouldn’t matter. Especially once you realized that people in other countries also age, some of them are fat, some of them have zits or funny noses. Yet, people think many of those people are gorgeous anyway. Why? They are relaxed and/or in a different environment and/or ready to see things and people as beautiful. The women are treated better, told they are beautiful, so they behave as if they are beautiful. Here is a fact: If a woman tells a man she is ugly, he starts believing her. If she acts as if she is beautiful, he starts believing her. Or, if he doesn’t, his loss – some other man will. Here is another fact: if a man tells a woman she is beautiful, she will start to believe him. So will he. And, the reality is that, in either case- by acting as if you already are beautiful or being told you are beautiful, you do, physically, become more beautiful. So, if you want the women in your country to be more beautiful – whether it is you, or a woman you are interested in, or a daughter whose self-esteem you want to build up , or whoever she is – look her in the eye and tell her, in all sincerity “You are beautiful!”; and, then she will be.

today we went shopping. we went to get a jacket for marv. It was cold. We came to the gold coast, chasing warm weather. It chased us here. Bummer. But it was sunny and fresh. With the right clothes, it’d still be enjoyable. We went to the mall. It was full of shops we knew and then some. I was busting for the loo. Basic need meet. We find the shop Marv was looking for and we wandered through. The sales assistant came and helped. I noticed the sales assistant was very pretty. I did my bit and she did hers. I noticed her short skirt, slinky top and great boots. I picked a jacket. She smiled and agreed with my choice. Marv didn’t look happy. Well, more like, unconvinced. Size change, colour change, style change, slightly. Success. We continued talking through the changes. She was from France (we figured), studying and slowly making friends. We talked about short skirts (she doesn’t wear them late at night to go out), the people who live here (transient), reasons for coming. We suggested other places to get work and people we could introuduce her too. Make her feel welcome. She says, I have to tell you something. I felt foreboding. She opened up. She told us went out one night. Showing friends around. They came home on the bus. Drunk guys start hassling them. She tells them to get lost. She and her friends left the bus. So did the drunk guys. The drunkest drunk guy hassles them some more. Looking for a fight. She tells her friends to run. She defends them. Verbally. Pushes him back, to keep him away. / He hits her. She hits him back, and has him on the ground. She packs a punch for a little lady. His friends joins in. The other guy is back up. The y both hit her. She is on the ground. She feels her stomach. It’s wet. She wonders if she’s wet herself. She hasn’t. She looks down and finds her hands wet with blood. With insides. With stuff. He has stabbed her. She calls her friends to call police, ambulance. She is dying. The men run away. Wipe the knife clean. No good. The police catch them. She is in hospital for two months. Doesn’t tell her parents. It cost $50 000 for her to come here. She isn’t going to let one bad experience ruin her trip. She shows us the scar-he didn’t just stab her. There is one puncture, and one long, long line where he attempted to open her up. She says she saved her friend from death-she had the determination to live, but thinks her young friend would have died. The men had intent to kill-that it was a woman didn’t deter him. That it was someone innocent didn’t deter him. Was it that he was drunk?-he had the knife before that. We cried together, and I gave her a hug. Lots of hugs. No family to comfort her, to retell the story and help her through. She was a remarkable girl. I’ve been thinking about it all day. Marv n I have both read a book called Overtaken by Alexi Sayle, about how a person’s criminal act affects his life and he decides he wants to rehabilitate the guy-jail’d do nothing. That seems better in the long run. I begin to smile at everyone I see, say hi when able. We talk about it all day. I often am on the verge of tears. How could this have been avoided? How are people like this produced? Can’t be blamed on alcohol-he had the knife before. Can say there needs to be more respect for women, for people-why stab anyone? Need to teach people other options for living. Parents, schooling. What we can do. All I can do today is smile at people. All I can hope is to share a little love, that their day be better, that people feel happier, more loved and maybe there are less of these incidents in the world. Smile at someone today. Please!

Well here it is, my dearest – publicly professed and declared. A tribute to the woman who has gladly taken into her bosum, a breathtaking affection to one who stands in awe of such a joy…Each and everyday is a mystery- a suspense story of how the events of the day shall unfold as the petals of a carnation to display a wonder and a glory thus unknown. It is my husbandly duty to nurture this love unconditional as Messiah has done for me -us. That your regard for me is undaunted by resentment, jealousy or anger; freeflowing tributaries to fill over the banks and feed harvest grain, producing hundredfold graces into the lives of others. / Thus it shall be my legacy; to have loved as ‘Noah cared for Allie’. To herald this legacy to my last breath shall be my greatest quest. Nicholas Spark’s ‘The Notebook’ and New Line Cinema Production 2004

The warmth of your touch / The shiver running down my spine / As you touch my face / Electricity pulsates / through every cell in my body / My skin is heating up / Goosebumps cover my whole person / I shake from the intensity of your touch / Your manly hand touches my spine / My body feels in shock / As if I have been jolted / My breath is taken away / Then you kiss me / Firm yet soft / We are like one in that moment / As you kiss me / you pull me in closer / I feel I am wrapped up in your body / I melt into you / You hold me up / As the intensity of your kiss / Weakens my knees / A tear fills my eye / Never knowing such beauty / Such wonder / At that moment / You have taken me / To a place so rare so sweet / This day will stay with me / Never forgotten.

Where is your passion / Have you fed it to the birds / Have you given them little by little / That now they eat your words Where is your happiness / Have you tainted it with despair / You’ve given up on life, haven’t you / You think life isn’t fair What about that manhood / That you so claim you have / Has your ego swelled and burst / And driven you stark mad How dare you come with your tears / When before it was your hand / How foolish is the man that boasts / Yet crumbles on command How soon we forget / What damage has been done / When damage is reversed / How suddenly we run So where is that person / So eager to put me down / The one who stood against me / Where is your crown I’m in charge now!

WOW. Can a Brotha be more blown away? The fanfare and praise regarding my work Carrie & CJ http://CarrieandCj.notlong.com —both on & off RB— has been powerful, copious and nothing less than STELLAR: most gratifying, most humbling. Eye only recently (this A.M.) discovered the fact that the composition was featured on the RB Homepage itself in the last 24 hrs or so, but alas; Eye’ve been busy out in the World & found out too late to see it myself! Eye am here to THANK ALL Y’all for this honour: you know who you are! :> HUGGZ, / Alvin-San Hoku Mana
