Fallen Thoughts

:: 10.29.2002 ::

late conversation
as light creeps through my blinds
we talk about tomorrow
and I wish I could leave today behind
more anxious to see your face,
to sit and laugh and share my wine

unanswered apologies for inconvenience -
to accept would not be right
no better way to end my day
than hearing your laughter take flight
no better way to lie asleep
than after softly saying goodnight

my mind combines intertwined rhymes
as these basslines find time
between snare hits and organ chimes

smoke rises from glass as seconds pass
got no grass, not a drop in the flask
eighteen in the fridge, wonder how long that'll last

sweat pours down my frosted mug
and I shrug at the living room rug
while Kraz signs his name through a plug

free jazz, the musical drug

a nod to inspiration.

guess what's one month from today?

it starts with 'b' and ends with 'irthday'..

first one to get it right gets a firm pat on the back.

about the healing..

my sister was at work the other day and a woman was in her co-worker's office. the woman came out and wasn't sure where to go to exit the building, so my sister offered to walk her out. as they walked, she told my sister that she was a sweet and beautiful girl and was just very friendly for walking her out. as they reached the door out, the lady asked my sister for a hug. she did, and as she went to pull away, the woman held on to her and wouldn't let go. my sister got a strange feeling in her head, but just thought it was because she'd been a bit sick lately.

when the woman finally pulled back, she looked at kelly and said "your ear infection is gone - it won't give you any trouble anymore." a warm feeling circled around in her head and then a cold wave went down through her body. now this is the crazy part. not only did kelly not know the woman at all, she hadn't told anyone at work about how she'd been feeling dizzy and faint lately. she'd told us, of course, and had made an appointment to have a CAT scan done after a couple of doctor visits hadn't turned up anything. no one had ever told her she had an ear infection, but it's very likely that the symptoms she'd been having could have been caused by one.

the whole experience shook kelly up and upset her, so she went back into her office and started crying. her co-workers asked her what was wrong, but all she could manage to say was "that woman.. that woman.." finally, someone asked the co-worker whose office the healing lady had been in who she was. the co-worker told kelly that the woman was her mother and that she healed people. she said she didn't mean to upset her, but she just does it randomly. when she meets someone and senses their illness, she can see the problem through touching them and can supposedly heal it.

kelly went and had the scans done, but they couldn't find anything wrong. and since that day, she hasn't felt any of the symptoms again.

my sister and I were just having a conversation and I thought I'd pose it here for the readers to ponder..

why do the commercials for herpes medication always feature really nice looking women in beautiful fields of flowers and visually pleasing backgrounds? doesn't that just over-glorify the situation a bit much? I want to see some dirty ass girl with canker sores around her mouth and some fried-out over-permed hair with more roots than an oak tree. it's called truth in advertising.

in other news, my sister was "healed" today. sounds crazy, but it made her a believer.

I was going through my favorites and updating them and found that jennifer nettles has updated her site. it's a great redesign - both cosmetically and in ease-of-use. if you haven't heard her music, drop by her page and check out a couple of tracks. she has a few mp3s to download and a couple of videos here from gigs at her recently-purchased venue, eddie's attic.

also, as I was looking over her upcoming tour dates, I noticed the next couple of shows are being supported by maroon5. I don't know their music, but I knew the name seemed familiar. then I realized that I had read about them over at listen up! not too long ago. it seems that .sara digs them a lot, and I would guess that jen and her band share the sentiment.

so if you're around statesboro or columbus thursday or friday, respectively, go check out the show!

sheptastic is no more.

I wonder how long before they snatch up the domain, mays-style?

I find an innocence in animals.

Lost in the significance.

The muscles of my soul are cramping beneath the weight of my mind.
