I mean really take it away from them. It's only geese. I'm sure they'll find some other time to be a geese." --A forty or so year old lady at the bus stop in respone to another ladys statement that they won't build something because there is a pond where people and geese like to hang. Man has been endowed with reason, with the power to create, so that he can add to what he's been given. But up to now he hasn't been a creator, only a destroyer. Forests keep disappearing, rivers dry up, wild life's become extinct, the climate's ruined and the land...

The first of several differently themed cd's is that of songs with names of women in the title. Can you tell I've nothing to write about?

You'll get my rant on the media, the world, sports, movies, people and life in general. Included will be my goat/superstar of the week. So begins a little thing known as: You know what really burns me up? Goat of the week: Former NY Governor Eliot Spitzer. The man known as Mr. clean simply made it too easy for the comedians talk show hosts and bloggers--none of which have to work very hard to come up with jokes--when he was busted on prostitution charges. For $4,300 I hope the call girl (described as petite) was not only really petite but...

"I thought I'd call my kid sister...she's a stripper...but I guess I'll just do it myself" --lady on phone in line at the grocery store. "Due to bab weather bakery is close." --A sign in the bakery at a Giant Eagle during the weekend of the snow storm. "I'm not buying you that trash" --A mother to her son who just asked her to buy him a Readers Digest.

I can see her now in all her glory. A blur of booze, vanity and cheap self esteem spread evenly. A touch of mint twist of lemon And we‘d call her a drink. Purple vanity maybe she was ten feet tall if she was an inch. Dressed to the nines we hugged. I saw stars cut in Blues, yellows, browns. Fabrics that dripped gold. Colorful dresses aside--she was quite the woman, And did I mention completely made of stone? No not...

And I'm all whattttt? I really only read it to try and figure out why exactly they allowed the kids to watch. I learnt that a scrub (not the hit comedy on NBC) python, which happen to be 16 feet long stalked the family's pet for days--laying in it's bed among other things. This stalking and eating took place at their home near Kuranda in Queensland state--Australian tropics. The kids, ages 5 and 7, watched as the snake, which typically eats wild animals such as...

The apartment is dark with the exception of candles lit in various places. The furniture is spread out. Joann comes in takes a piece of chalk and draws a large circle on the floor. She stares at it. Exits. When she returns she is carrying a small table an a grocery bag. Out of the bag she pulls a black cloth and places it on the table. She straightens it up and then pulls out a few gems a black candles and incense. She searches the bag and finally pulls out matches. She lights the candles and the incense. Fearfully she puts out the candle. Looks around.... (more) http://onwriting.blogdrive.com/comments?id=73
