Metaphorically Speaking...

I am not gone...for as every sun sets, it will soon rise.
I am the rush you feel when looking deep into your lover's eyes.
I am the breeze that sings in the high mountain trees...
I am the meadow grass, covered with a late Summer's freeze.
I am the never forgotten life, like that of a growing child...
I am the coarse fur coat of a coyote,
howling a midnight call to the wild.
I am as the wind, a happy caress, a violent rage...but always unseen.
I am the long Spring rains that bring to the fields a lush and healthy green.

I am life...and all that I am
shows nothing of what I have mortally done...
I am free...but chained to a life of never living my dreams...

I am not gone...I am as the clouds that graze the ground...
I am life and all of its beauty, its colors, its sounds...
I am as simple as a linked chain...as strong as it is weak...
I am the rock, as proud in a puddle as it is on
a high mountain peak...

I am the ripples that threaten the water
of an undisturbed lake...
I am a captive in life, like autumn leaves
impaled on the tines of a rake.
I am the coolness of blue on a hot summers day...
I am the tear cleansing the sorrow
when a loved one strays...

I am the music in your soul, echoed by the stars above...
And though my breath is now gone...
And as I give my body unto the Earth...
above all else, I wish you all love.

So we took the kids to see CON: TL,TW,ATW. If you haven't seen it yet and it's still playing at a theatre near you - GO SEE IT! It must be seen on the big screen. The cinematography was spectacular and the visual effects were breathtaking. Fortunately we had not read the book(s) so we had nothing to compare it too, which is good because then we didn't know if it stayed true to the book or not, which is sometimes a let down, as I have experienced with the Harry Potter books/movies.

Anyway, two thumbs WAY UP!

Got root canal today...what a suck fest! I hate needles in my mouth. It took about an hour and 40 minutes. My jaw is so fucking sore from having to hold it open all that time. And some stuff he was using to clean out the canals was burning my sinuses and my throat...I swear it was chlorine bleach. Ick!
So now I have to go have my teeth cleaned and then go back to get a crown put on this tooth. Right now there's stuff in there to keep the tooth from falling apart and I can't eat on that side until I get the crown - which will be about a month from now. *sigh*

Guess I'll go and have some pizza flavored jell-0.

Well, it's been almost two months now and this damn Phlebitis on my arm is STILL here, with not even a HINT that it has ANY intention of EVER going away! ACK! But I went to the doctor again this morning and he said there's really nothing that can be done, aside from going and having a surgeon yank it out...uh, no thanks. He assured me that eventually it WILL go away.

Tomorrow I get to go have a root canal. Boy, I tell ya, the fun never ends!

Peace.

Question for the day: If gay men are "friends of Dorothy", then who are lesbians friends with?

Bravo!

So we went to see MAMMA MIA last night and what a GREAT show! It wasn't Fantastic, but it was definitely worth seeing. I loved the lighting, the orchestra, the dancing, the singing - everything was really cool...lots of energy. At the end you really feel like you're at an ABBA concert...the actors are right on, man!

I love Broadway shows. First one we saw was MOVIN' OUT...set to the music of Billy Joel. That was great, too!

If MAMMA MIA is heading your way and you can go see it, I DEF recommend it.

Tonight's the big night...we're going to see MAMMA MIA. Can't wait! Tomorrow I'll let you know how it was, but everyone that has seen it says it's FANTASTIC!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY DARLING (TOMORROW). LOVE YA!
