cheesy i know, but i'm a sucker for it:
to laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children, to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of fase friends, to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch...to know...

its not the greatest pay, but like evelyn lau said, "the truth is hard, the truth that money earned from prostitution is meaningless, fifteen dollars from a published poem could make me feel rich. That's the kind of money I earn with love..."

Thank you kindly, sir!
rosehips:
That is horrible. I am sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine how hard it must be to hear that the guy who did this is out enjoying life. I hope they find him soon and that you and the rest of Tombal's friends and family find some peace.

hmmm.... the children case is an interesting one. in terms of actual financial support - that would be dependent on the actual parents right? regardless of living arrangements.... not too different from what we do not.
the "raising" part is where things get tricky. but really, honestly, how different is it than kids who shuttle between divorced parents now? so, a child might live with "primary [maternal] family" most of time, and then move and live with "second [paternal] family" at some other point. ... i dunno if that would be *terrible* for children. and it's ultimately up to the people involved to fix that situation right? part of freedom and what not...

of course, dear.
how's life in the real world? spending less time on the internet must be a sign that there's a whole lot going on beyond that monitor.

5 am
is the best time of day. the frenetic pace of the night gives way to a brief lull, a moment of serenity, tranquility. reflection. the party music fades and the energy from the night is swept away, like paper confetti after new years even in times square. and then a deep breath as the grays of darkness give way to the warm colorful...

Thank you for the birthday wishes, hon. I'll come back and read your entry later- I'm in a mad rush to reply to everyone right now. But I do enjoy your writing, so- 
I'll be back.
I'll be back.well martin, here we are, 38 years since your assasination and we live with much more dangerous time, filled with racial injustice - one that is covert. we live in a land where our country lies to us, makes us paranoid, sends us marching to our death, and slowly robs us of our freedom. the summer of discontent you refer to has passed and the...

umm... i'm in the east village area. i'm more an N, Q, R or W girl. hahathe first dagger i didnt even see coming, much less feel. it stuck me deep in the center of my heart. it hardly left a mark.

Santa Claus: An Engineer's Perspective
I. There are approximately 2 billion children (persons under 18) in the world. However, since Santa does not visit children of Muslim, Hindu, Jewish, Jehovah's Witnesses, or Buddist religions, this reduces the workload on Christmas night to 15% of the total, or 378 million (according to the Population Reference Bureau). At an average...

i think the compromise is to pack one SMALL book that i kinda/sorta want to read (in real life - not just for my work).
melly:
I bought some cookies. And I ate them. I thought about those poor sweat shop workers as I bit into my soft, moist cookie. Then I shrugged my shoulders and carried on.
sometimes, this is perfect for how i feel:
Mother, do you think they'll drop the bomb?
Mother, do you think they'll like this song?
Mother, do you think they'll try to break my balls?
Ooh ah,
Mother, should I build the wall?
Mother, should I run for president?
Mother, should I trust the government?
Mother, will they put me in the firing line?
Ooh ah,...

The Wall...hmm sometimes seems like life can be full of walls...as for my test I'm studying for a brokerage exam...which is very surreal for me....but if I pass it will make it easier for me to go back to school to do something I really want to do.
