“So, the sisters smiled to themselves,
And they whispered as they shone,
And it was from that very instant,
I knew I would never be alone.
While on the hills
The fires burned at midnight,
Superstition plagued the air,
Sparks fly as the fires burn at midnight,
Stars are out and magic is here,
the stars are out and magic is here…”
What a weekend. [...]

So, I was wrong

“We’d go down to the river
And into the river we’d dive
Oh down to the river we’d ride”
(Must be a Springsteen kind of day)
Ok, so I was wrong. That is not all I was going to give it today. I’ll do my best to try and recreate the rest of the post. The post that got [...]

Wednesday Wednesday

“Outside the street’s on fire
In a real death waltz
Between what’s flesh and what’s fantasy
And the poets down here
Don’t write nothin’ at all
They just stand back and let it all be
And in the quick of a knife
They reach for their moment
And try to make an honest stand
But they wind up wounded
And not even dead
Tonight in Jungleland”
Without [...]

Friday night musings

“Freedom’s just another word for nothin’ left to lose,
nothin’, it ain’t nothin’ honey, if it ain’t free.”
It’s now 10:29 on Friday evening. I’ve been home from work for an hour, and I have to be back at work at 7:00 A.M. in the morning. That fact, as I think you will agree, sucks. I [...]

Just a Tuesday

“On the turning away
From the pale and downtrodden
And the words they say
Which we won’t understand
“Don’t accept that what’s happening
Is just a case of others’ suffering
Or you’ll find that you’re joining in
The turning away”
So, after a mere 480 minutes of work (which in all honesty seemed to fly by in only 9 or ten hours) I [...]

Everything is a test…

“I was waitin’ on the pad, all systems were go
The man up in the tower was enjoyin’ the show
Then I got this feelin’ that I never had before
Hey, let me out of here, what am I here for?
Why me, why me?”
Why me, indeed. A very good question.
I just finished reading Terry Pratchett’s latest book, Wintersmith, [...]

“Rise again, rise again – though your heart it be broken
And life about to end
No matter what you’ve lost, be it a home, a love, a friend.
Like the Mary Ellen Carter, rise again.”
Friday night I was searching for inspiration; trying to find something to blog about. The phrase, “drawing a blank” does not come close [...]
