my new background

don't you just love my new background? it's so cool and i absolutely love hibiscus flowers. so tropical! it makes me want to copy the design onto my bedroom wall or door. i think i shall do just that on sunday! ahhh...inspiration! it comes in the strangest ways sometimes.

the new idiot box

when people talk about the "idiot box" one automatically assumes they are talking about the television. not me...anymore. the new "idiot box" for me is the computer. while it has broadened my knowledge, it basically replaced the tv. now instead of sitting in front of the tv for hours, i sit in front of the computer. it is indeed the new "idiot box". so, i have decided to give up the computer! for a day a week anyway. let's not do anything stupid now. when i did write those 4 poems in one day, i didn't have a computer then. ok, i did. i definitely wasn't on it as much as i am now! i think i need to get away from this contraption in order to get my inspiration back. so on sundays, i'm just gonna study the guitar or french, or read a book, maybe take a walk. something, anything to get my inspiration back. wish me luck! peace!

inspiration

i need inspiration! for what you might ask. for anything! it recently occured to me that i have not written a poem in a very long time. i, one time, wrote 4 poems in one day. i'm not bragging, but now i'm lucky if i can write 4 in 1/2 a year! so sad. where has my inspiration gone? and more importantly, when shall it return?

here comes the sun...

do da do do...ok enough singing. well, summer has been here for about a month and it's finally starting to kick in. it will be in the 90's all week. it started like 2 days ago. we have been making dinners in the toaster oven, 'cause it is too damn hot to put the regular oven on. which sucks. i am craving french fries!!! i swear i can eat them every day. please let some coolness come so i can have french fries!

the #1 thing that pisses me off more than the summer heat, is the local weather people letting us know how hot it is. "well it's a scorcher today. better stay inside. you do not want to be outside today with these temperatures." and so on. like we don't know how hot it is. i swear they must think we are stupid. and it happens every single year. ridiculous!!

so, here is to cooler weather and less stupid weather people. cheers!!

a legend has passed on

roger "syd" barrett, founder of pink floyd, has passed on. according to news stories that i read he died on friday. he was 60. i got into his music about a year and a half ago and was just amazed. he will truly be missed. shine on!

miles away from ordinary

if you watch tv, then i am positive that at one time or another you have seen those corona commercials. the man or the couple just laying in their beach chairs drinking coronas. i want so badly to be where they are. just laying on the sand and staring at the ocean without a care in the world. it's beautiful. does anyone know where these commercials are filmed? if so, please tell me.

how many guys does it take to go food shopping?

apparently 6. i went food shopping with my mom earlier today and there were 6 guys, all together, also food shopping. i was calling them "guy squad". they kept blocking whole aisles, it was kinda annoying. we saw them in the parking lot and it looked like they were going camping w/ the ice and coolers and stuff like that. but, seriously, it takes 6 of you guys to go shopping for 1 weekend? can you imagine if they had to do a whole weeks worth of shopping? they would probably need like 10 more guys to help!! this is like living proof that you guys cannot live w/out us women. you should really be nicer to us!! i wish i had it on camera. had to share. ciao!!
