Kid Named Cudi Angels call me
Kid Named Cudi Angels call me Banana. They figure if a child calls me it (and so sweetly) that the name’s gotta stick. Plus, he asked why I have 2 pairs of sunglasses on my head (Choppers & computer); I explained & he said it’s all good…you’re badass. I smiled. Oh, also, I was thinking earlier as I saw a Camero drive by with the personalized plates of Camero, I had an initial thought of what a waste of money, but then corrected myself because my car learning would be greatly enhanced if everyone did that for me :) Ok, my friend, I’m smiling again. Live music guy is playing WAVE ON WAVE. I love you!!!
I’m ok. My sister is awesome
I’m ok. My sister is awesome and really helped me. We decided I’ll be showing up on her doorstep shortly and it felt great to say “I’ll see you soon.” I have calls to make tomorrow (my uncle included) and get things going. Hearing your ROCK ON tonight a couple of times helped immensely. Thank you, my sweet. She said I can’t blame him for my being unhappy where I’m at, which is true. She is wise. I can’t change him but I don’t live this way. I’m working through my anger & it’s almost gone. Soon I will be, too. Maybe this is Him knocking me over my head to move it. I’m going to contact a few WI friends so maybe I can earn money with some legal writing. I love to write and research…did you know that about me? Q saw Rachel show up. He just invited me to a party so I’m going to head out for a while and spend some time with friends. I don’t know how late I’ll be…I’m sorry…but I’ll still say my good nights later. I can’t do it now. It’s too early for me. Please forgive me…I don’t want to take advantage of the fact you may be up late. I’ve never want to take advantage of that or of you, my friend. I love you and this really is turning out to be a Wonderful Wednesday. I’ll talk with you soon, my love. Be safe and smile, please, for me. The thought right now brings tears to my eyes and a smile to my face. Be happy, my Beloved.
Thank God I had you with me,
Thank God I had you with me, my friend. I played your CD part way through, then found out my yesterday’s decision was definitely my mistake. Unbelievably disrespected. I played your CD all the way through as I worked in my project room as long as I could stand it. I am rocking on, no doubt, so I thought I’d use my anger to work through some things needing done to rock on. Not sure how it will work a week from this Friday but I’m pretty F Word excited. I guess I needed today to make sure. Apologies will probably come soon enough, but actions speak louder. I’m out. I’m sorry, my love. I’m at the Brew. I brought you with me to listen to and it’s a good thing because of the live music tonight. I only want to hear your voice and be with you. Thank you for the joy you’ve given me this week, my friend. God, I love listening to your voice. P.S. My sister just called mid-week & left a message. I need to call her. I'll be back shortly. P.P.S. I love you.
My brother and I are doing
My brother and I are doing well, re-adjusting and we played some music this morning. It’s different now with all we have each learned in the last month, but it’s good. We both are in a bit of disbelief that he is at 318 and we can enjoy our friendship. He’s out doing a few things on his motorcycle…I’m so happy for him. I’m off to Super 1 for milk & additional juicing supplies (romaine & apples). I’ll be working on the house but I also think we’ll take a South Bell walk around 4ish, too. I still want to post some comments on your posts about the other things you’ve been doing so I’m trying to gather my thoughts, but I’m a bit completely distracted by you now so I’ll work on them for another time, plus I love giving others a chance to post and say good things about you which I love to read. They make my heart happy. You make my heart very, very, very, very, very, very happy. I love you, my friend, my Beloved. I’ll talk to you soon. Sending you hugs, smiles, kisses, & high fives :)
Ok, I have no idea, none
Ok, I have no idea, none whatsoever, how I am supposed to concentrate right now…you remember all the !’s from when I knew they ordered it, so what do you think I’m feeling right now with your CD in my hot little hands!?!?!? With the tenderest of hands, I paged through the insert (still can’t find the word) & lovingly gazed at the beautiful photos within, tried to concentrate on some details (Mr. Young’s contributions to your artistry, wondering what are those looks like coins but are they on the interior of your gun convertible, finally found out what I’ve been trying to guess for such a long time…your D3 car is a Continental [oh, & the one on your new t-shirt I missed until I looked again today], smiled at the sunflowers which reminded me of those I told you about on my rides to Florence, really believing he met you because of your gorgeous blue eyes…ok, that’s just for starters…I have more, trust me). I’m all antsy; all I want to do is go to 318 and play it…over & over & over &…. I remember seeing a really nice picture of you yesterday, but I can’t remember, especially right now, where I saw it…’cept I just remembered, it’s your Can’t Buy Cool T-Shirt with whisky bar of the Union Woodshop in the background. Loved it, too. And now I see where the picture for our villes t-shirt came from. I thought you had a pistol in your hand. Glad I did further research :) I liked shooting pistols. From chk-chking for my first time the other night, I’d have to work on arm strength to hold, aim even remotely accurately & not be afraid of the kick. You are very strong. Wow, I got to see you in almost real time on Sunday, I get your CD today, this week is awesome!!!! I hope you are having an awesome week as well, Mr. Mayor & I hope, like me, you get surprise joys in your days, for you bring so many joys to countless many. I see you believing in everything you do and loving yourself, so are you starting to feel it now when it all comes back to you? Are you ready, my friend?
Happy Wonderful Wednesday,
Happy Wonderful Wednesday, RJR!!! I wish for you a peaceful heart as you experience what this day holds for you. I wish for you laughter, smiles, hugs, friends, family, good colleagues, your superb artistry flowing out of you…so many good and wonderful things I wish for you. I hope when you look at the sky you see its beauty as His ever-changing painting created to show you His love. Were you able to sleep well last night, sweetheart, and to awake rested, firm in His love? Did you piss off you know who by putting your feet on the ground? Way to go!!!!! Me, too!!!! Ummm, please excuse me for a moment, because although someone else happened to believe inputting new DVDs was more important so I didn’t think it would be today, Donna, who’s not working today, but just stopped in, checked for me…wait for it, wait for it (yes, I did)…she comes walking back to my table while I’m talking to you with a treasure above all treasures in her hand!!!!!!!! Double big hugs all the way around! Jumping and dancing!!! But, before I could touch it, she told me she had to break the rules to give it to me, because from the time she had originally input it, to the time she switched computer screens to put my hold on it, someone from Missoula put a hold on it. She’s never done it before but she overrode it & I have it for a month!!!!!! Yippee!!!!!!!!! I told her it was good that someone else wanted it right away, too, but we agreed they could wait because I’ve never asked for anything like this in all my years here. Plus, I told her, Missoula could get their own flippin’ copy, too! Ok, I can’t type anymore right now because I started to open up the paper insert whatever you call it I’m too excited to think of the real words, but I wanted to wish you a happy day, my Angel first (priorities), but I really gotta go for a bit because I can’t resist or concentrate!!!!! Please forgive me? Oh, thank you, what a wonderful Wednesday!!!! I love you my love!!!!!
I hope your Tuesday was no
I hope your Tuesday was no bother for you, Maestro. I envision good, kind, loving, and joyful things for you. I feel you now; I feel your heartbeat, your gentle, loving, kind soul and I feel peaceful. I hope you feel peaceful, too, my sweet. Rest well, my love, and tomorrow please stop to smell the still growing flowers and feel our strength, our joy, our love continue to grow. Good night, my joy, my inspiration, my Angel. Sweet Dreams, my Beloved, Sweet Dreams.
My brother is home. I am
My brother is home. I am tired from the days’ events, but I feel his calm and it is promising. I am also given the opportunity to maintain my ROCK ON status. I don’t know how it’ll all look for so much keeps changing each day, but I am optimistic, and will continue to speak honestly, openly, and truthfully with you, my love. I miss you. Thank you for being with me tonight. Oh, by the way, nice new t-shirts :) I love both, because it is true you can’t buy cool & your This Is Not A Tour Tour T-shirt brings a special smile to my face, for it has the villes we talked about and shared. The glass is something Q collects so someday I’d like to get him one as a thank you for his friendship. I hope sales go great for you. Speaking of which, I am hopeful your Library CD comes tomorrow :) I read the beginning of the Lynyrd Skynyrd book and it brings tears to my eyes. It is written by Ronnie Van Zant’s bodyguard. I’m mesmerized. Thank you for inspiring and educating me.
Outside waiting for the call,
Outside waiting for the call, I found a free book…uh, oh :) , but it’s a book of the year of 1946 & Walter Yust’s introduction says: “The year 1946 is notable for the attempt to establish peace upon earth under the direction of the United Nations & for the apparent effort of scientists to utilize atomic energy, not for the destruction of mankind, but for the extended services of good will & international prosperity. The Book of the Year, now in its 10th issue, aims to record, for the most part, the activities of men & women who were hopeful of doing these things during the year 1946. It records also, as usual, the activities of those who unfortunately did not wish to do these things, or who did not thing clearly about them or who did not care…No one short of the mad can wish for anything less than peace, good will & prosperity. Yet we fight in peace as we fight in war – & death & disaster are always threatening. The trouble must lie in a world-wide spiritual & moral inadequacy. We need to be wiser. We need to be more honest. We need to learn better the techniques of friendliness. The record of the year would seem to indicate that the people of the world might be beginning to learn the rich advantages of humility, honesty and restraint over simulated optimism, intellectual dishonesty & personal ambition. Such education is urgent, for if the people of the world will not learn to live in peace together, they will surely altogether perish.” I just got the call & I can go get him. God is good. I wanted to spend more time with you here, but I always carry you with me, your smile, your heart, & your soul wherever I go, so please forgive me for going & I hope you understand. Until our good nights tonight, be well, my Beloved. I miss you; I trust you; I admire you; I love you.
I’ve been praying a lot, for
I’ve been praying a lot, for a lot of guidance, for the best for those I love…and I begged Him today for help. I was settling down for a quick cat nap when the bail bondsman called. There’s a bit of confusion, but it’s possible SRTW could be home tonight until his hearing next Thursday (30th); that is, if everybody has their ducks in a row & they don’t turn around & pick him up the minute I get him to 318. I’ll know more in a few minutes. While it’s $540 I have, but don’t, him being able to deal with his things & getting to spend a little time with him as I ROCK ON I suspect may be His guidance. If they can immediately pick him up, then it’s money down the drain & I can’t do it; if he is left alone for this next week, he can get a lot done & he’s already asked his brothers for help so we could still get bills paid. A lot of people will have a lot of opinions, but I’ve seen his heart & watched his actions. A week out will tell even more. He’s been there for weeks not knowing a thing, so to give him a bit of freedom, to have the opportunity to practice outside his changing ways, to see Sonya romp in the water, for him, for his heart, I want to try. I’ve stood by his side for 8 years & although it is time for me to ROCK ON, I want to do it in good form. For my part, his being out will support my healthy habits and help me with letting go of the cigs & being so lonely I have found I more often than I want find solace at the Brew. The last few days I’ve been thinking about it & I don’t mind the occasional drink, but it’s really not my passion. I did fine for 5 years without. I don’t judge it or myself; I’ve had fun, but I’m having more fun doing other things so it’s time to let a few more things go. I’ve learned my lesson not to say never, but I need & want to address my own health & fun (and for the past few days, I’ve consciously reflected on it not being as much fun anymore). Thanks for listening, my friend. I may be wrong, but I can’t help but try for my brother.
