Awww, thanks hun.

I think that life is pretty wonderful all things considered.
I love my job. My sons are overcoming their disabilities and will probably be able to live independently, and fall in love, and live full lives.
My wife is my best friend and understands and nurtures me.
I have finally shrugged off the last vestiges of my religion and consequently all the things that made...

This poem gets better the older I get.
T.S. Eliot(18881965).Prufrock and Other Observations.1917.
1. The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock
Sio credesse che mia risposta fosse
A persona che mai tornasse al mondo,
Questa fiamma staria senza piu scosse.
Ma perciocche giammai di questo fondo
Non torno vivo alcun, siodo il vero,
Senza tema dinfamia ti rispondo.
LET us go then, you and I,...

oh t.s. eliot. I read alot of his stuff in high school and broke a lot of it down in those advanced english classes, very interesting writer indeed.
Thank you for your short but amazingly awesome compliment. I think it really summed up what I hoped people thought of them, at least once in awhile, when I really pour it all out in there. So again, thank you.
Also, somehow, this whole writing & reading poetry and interesting writers thing just reminded me how much I wanted to read Requiem For A Dream again. I borrowed it from someone once and devoured it in just a couple days, and I find it shocking how easy it was to read, even without quotations or "proper" punctuation. That guy is a friggin drug-addled genius. you should read it if you haven't, it's really... an experience, I would say.

My sons both have asberger's syndrome. This is the mildest form of autism and is generally a hell of a lot easier ride than child hood diabetes, polio, m.s. or a host of other problems. Basically it means that there is a subtle yet absolute twist in the in of their perception and the out of their communication.

Enjoy!

Sounds like a good idea. I need to read more non-fiction but the fiction (if it's good) always draws me in more.
Somehow Facebook lured me away for awhile and convinced me it was a good community. It's not. This is a much better place to hang my hat. At it's core, I think the reasons for that involve politics.
My FB stream has become an endless tirade of tea party wannabes screaming against the president and all things progressive. The conversation were abusive and discordant. I've...

Thankfully I found SG and have made my home for sometime now! FB is just my way of feeding my ADD. Tiny conversations and quick social interactions.
Thanks for the comment about my pictures! I'm trying to make myself a mini career out of it!

The woman named Tomorrow

and takes her time
and does her hair the way she wants it
and fastens at last the last braid and coil
and puts the hairpin where it belongs
