Palm Sunday
Apr 03, 2009
When fishes flew and forests walked
And figs grew upon thorn,
Some moment when the moon was blood
Then surely I was born;
With monstrous head and sickening cry
And ears like errant wings,
The devil's walking parody
On all four-footed things.
The tattered outlaw of the earth,
Of ancient crooked will;
Starve, scourge, deride me: I am dumb,
I keep my secret still.
Fools! For I also had my hour;
One far fierce hour and sweet:
There was a shout about my ears,
And palms before my feet.

April Fool's day
Apr 01, 2009
This day has a new meaning to life for the past year. Today marks my ONE year anniversary of stopping smoking! Yes, folks one year ago today was the first day of breathing the clean air around me. This is a mile stone for me. I was not a heavy smoker, but still the same I smoked. A pack of smokes lasted me about 3 to 4 days. I thought with the money I saved on smoking I could better my health in so many ways. This was my first step to my long range goals.Congrats to me on better health. To reward myself you ask? Oh, I went out and spent (drum roll...) 10 bucks on a new seek and find computer game! LOL simple pleasures that I have.
Peace!
