Tom Robbins-how he warms my cockles so
Tom Robbins has been the guiding force of my literary imagination for as long as back as I can reme.....well, to be specific I was 19. I can't recall how I came by a copy of Another Roadside Attraction, but I did, and it blew my tiny mind, to put it mildly. It was then, and remains now, the oldest, most worn out, rattiest, cover duct-taped, edges gone book I own. But at least its signed by the author. :) What was it about his stories that shaped me over the years? The redhead worship? The strong female lead throughout all of ...
Imagination does not Exist-Hafiz
You should come close to me tonight wayfarer for I will be celebrating you your beauty still causes me madness keeps the neighbours complaining when I start shouting in the middle of the night because I cant bear all this joy I will be giving birth to suns I will be holding forests upside down gently shaking soft animals from trees and burrows into my lap what you conceive as imagination does not exist for me whatever you can do in a dream or on your minds-canvas my hands can pull-alive-from my coat pocket but lets not talk about my divine world for what I most want to know tonight is all about You. -Hafiz ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I am still breathless of ...
Um, better late than never? Happy Anniversary, MLP!
Wow, where on earth is Promise, eh? I haven't been back, really back in the saddle of writing since early December. I probably shouldn't tell you that, as you may not have noticed the HUUUGGEE gap (gulp) but since I missed my own damn anniversary, I thought I should get down on bended knees and freeakin APOLOGIZE. BABY, I'm sorry! I know I missed our one year anniversary, but you mean EVERYTHANG to me, baby, please open the door! I'm SORRRYY~!! How many times I gotta say it? *pause* *sound of door unlatching* okay! So now that the groveling is over. What can I say? ...
Conman-Jeremy Clark-Erskine
It was an ordinary night in October, 2009. I was on OKCupid, considering disabling my profile, as I was exhausted from dating, and wanted to take a break. A handsome and charming young man and I started chatting on IM, and he impulsively asked me if he could meet me for some ice cream, right then. So I said yes (what the hell sort of thinking). 2 dates later, I was utterly charmed and faith-restored back in Men In General, but specifically, "Jocko Abramovitch". He was easy to talk to, respectful, funny, dorky, and had a rich past. You know, he ...
Not enough time
There's not enough time to fix it--to mend over the broken, ripped stitches.Or to make new, luminescent ones. There's not enough words--I have to shout just so you will hear me, and even then, I'm abbreviating it so you will get the gist. There's not enough ways to talk--talking brings on coughing, which brings on the racking, ripping, burning horror in your lungs bursting up, and the image of you bent over, throwing all your weight into a handkerchief, like your lungs were a companion-docile animal who turns and bites you without reason.Then keeps on biting you. There's not enough privacy--when you can move at ...

Gratitude & Manifestions
I landed at the Oakland airport, on a sunny day in 1997. My mom came to rescue me from a dead end situation in Seattle, and as we drove back to her place in Napa, we started talking about manifestion. and it’s link to the force of gratitude. From this one spark of conversation, came a new way of thinking that changed my life, forever. I tried... [Read more of this review]
This hippie gives these two thumbs up!
#1-Crystal Stick mineral body deodorant- I have struggled with strong sweat since I was little girl. I used to get terrible water blisters on my feet, rashes on my thighs, and pimples anywhere else, especially my upper back. At various places I’ve worked, when I was experimenting with hippie deodorants (with no aluminum) I was asked several times... [Read more of this review]
