“Senor, senor, let’s overturn these tables
And disconnect these cables...”
– “Senor/Tales of Yankee Power” Dierks Bently, originally Bob Dylan
I am silent.
You have taken all my analogies
And tore them to pieces.
You have stolen my voice
The way I would express myself
When my own words failed me.
So now, I can do nothing
But sit here
In silence.
Dierks Bentley is going to be at Country Fest this...
Guess I have a reason to go now. Hopefully there isn’t anyone at Rock Fest that I want to see. I only get free tickets to one event from work…if I am even employed there come summer.

Although you might not want to admit it, you don’t always feel as good as you claim. But you cannot go on pretending forever; sooner or later you need to realize that you don’t have to hide your true feelings. Sharing your fears with someone you trust today can open the way to profound conversations that deepen a friendship or improve your position at work. Stop resisting the...
thinking about California, Ohio, North Carolina...
beautyabounds:
wondering if I can get there this year
Ohio would probably be the easiest as it is the closest but the East Coast would be really cool. There is so much to see out there
“¿Por qué, mi Dios, me abandonaste?”

“Dios te salve María
llena eres de gracia
el Señor es contigo;
bendita tú eres...”
“People can think what they want. You’re not gonna stop them. They’re gonna say...”

This is my life?
This is why I worked my ass off for 17 years? To wake up deathly ill yet force myself out of bed for $8.50 an hour? To struggle with my fucking car so I can go to work and listen to 50 calls of people begging to get their superficial Chinese crap by Christmas. I just want to scream at them. Christmas comes the same day every year. You knew it was coming, don’t wait for the last fucking...
Merry Christmas, wherever you are.
Saw a Phantom of the Opera calendar and thought of you. I wish we could have exhanged gifts once during our friendship. I think it would have been a lot of fun.
“Lately, I’ve been the quiet one
Waiting searching the lines of songs you played...”
– “If I Walk Away”, Josh Groban
How peculiar.
My coworkers were more than able to drive through the worst snowstorm we have had in two decades to go to our employee Christmas party last night but had to call in today, unable to get to work?
I’m sorry, but most of the people who were on the schedule today live in town. I live in the country on a road that is never plowed. If I could get to work, they could too.
“Fear is for the long night, when the snow falls a hundred feet deep…”

stuffaboutminneapolis:
Potential for 1-2 feet of snow Saturday, with 2-5 foot drifts during the PM hours. Official prediction is 12-16”. I can’t remember the last time I predicted that much snow for the metro. We’ll see if it actually arrives….I kind of hope I’m wrong this time around.
Wind chills by Saturday night dip down to -20 to -35, extreme danger zone.
Hey, Paul...
WatchAt least whenever I’m having a bad time at work, HBO always surprises me when I come home with a new Game of Thrones preview. This one is even better because it comes with a release date, April 2011!!!
All the characters, save for a very select few, are exactly as my mind has envisioned them. I know I keep going on about it but it is always nerve-wracking to watch a beloved book series put...
Ashling.
I usually just laugh at my results in Facebook quizzes but I really like this one.
Forgotten Celtic name.
Ashling means ‘vision or dream’, and your delight at the world knows no bounds. You see things not only as they are but as all they could become. You ponder a blade of grass and the night sky with equal wonder. To you the cold winter snow is a protective blanket, the cold...
Horoscope 12-1-10
You don’t have to be fearful now, even if you become drawn toward the darker side of love. The most powerful transformations can occur in the shadows of your subconscious mind, making it attractive to succumb to your desires and dig deeper. If a resentment surfaces today, simply acknowledge it and move on; it will fade as quickly as it arrived.
