You Know You Are on a Doomed Date When. . .#2

Spring formal was coming up and I had no idea who to invite to it. I had the worst luck with finding dates for it. George asked me out to a movie. It was an ok movie and we had a good time though he nodded off from time to time from working all day. I took the plunge and asked him to my spring... Sign in to see full entry.

You Know You Are on a Doomed Date When. . .

We have all been on those dates that we know from the very beginning or soon after that it's doomed and how the heck do we get out of it? I'm sure you know what I mean. The date that couldn't seem to quit talking about himmself and didn't seem to notice you nodding off as he went on and on. So... Sign in to see full entry.

Does Trauma to the Chest Stunt the Growth of Your Breasts?

I grew up in the burbs in a family of eight. My mom had one baby after another. Back then it was okay to have a large family. The six of us always fighting over the so called good stuff - whether it was candy, cake, cookies, sugar sweetened cereal or watermelon. Yes, we loved watermelon in our... Sign in to see full entry.

Why Let Stress Overtake Your Life?

Today more so than ever we live in a world with so much stress. Recent events in the financial market have us running for cover and emptying our 401(k)s and praying we don't have to do as Chris Farley's character on SNL "living in a van down by the river". That is without considering the constant... Sign in to see full entry.

Goddess v Medusa

As an adolescent I remembered watching Jason and the Argonauts as well as other movies based on Greek mythology. I didn't really think about the images of women and men. I remember how men used to always be strong and adventurous. The women were always beautiful (except of course Medusa) and young... Sign in to see full entry.

Surf

Surfers paddle out over the receding waves Hold back for that perfect one Rolling waves race each other Piggyback and l eap frog Curl over the surfboard Tease and taunt The board a seesaw Surfing skills put through the mill Who will win the battle - The surfer or the wave?

Happy Birthday Ana Maria

The gatekeeper brands with fluorescent ink Birthday tables adorned with blue and white stripes Trios of balloons announce the celebrants name Buffet of games catch the eyes of the children With blinking lights and a multitude of sounds Giggling children racing from one open game to another With...

Hidden from View Below

Sailing across the oceans of clouds Layered above and below the plane Peaking waves dot the horizon Smoothing out as the plane passes over the mist Sun splashes hues over the clouds Occasional gaps from thinning mists Allow glimpses of mountain peaks Lights blinking on to dot the landscape First one...

Courtship of the Sun and Moon

Moon to the Sun Each evening as we pass in the sky I reach out my hand to touch you But withdraw my hand Blowing on scorched fingers Sparks scatter throughout the sky lingering through the night As they fade I begin to nod off And know that the time is near To once again pass in the sky.

Ashes to Ashes?

Standing by the graveside The minister murmurs Ashes to ashes... My mind catches on the phrase Twisting and turning it Should not the saying be Water to dust And for those suicidal moments As I have lived through Water to water A gush of fluid Announces our arrival Shocked by the sudden coldness...
