Poetry and Quotes that moved me...
Current mood:  angsty
- "He would not stay for me, and who can wonder?
- He would not stay for me to stand and gaze.
- I shook his hand and tore my heart in sunder
- And went with half my life about my ways."
Love, unrequited, robs me of my rest: Love, hopeless love, my ardent soul encumbers: Love, nightmare-like, lies heavy on my chest, And weaves itself into my midnight slumbers!
I've had enough of sleepless nights, of my unspoke grief, of my tired wisdom. Come my treasure, my breath of life come and dress my wounds and be my cure. Enough of words. Come to me without a sound. -Rumi
I have been tricked by flying too close
to what I thought I loved.
Now the candleflame is out, the wine spilled,
and the lovers have withdrawn
somewhere beyond my squinting. The amount I thought I'd won, I've lost.
My prayers becomes bitter and all about blindness. How wonderful it was to be for a while
with those who surrender. Others only turn their faces one way,
then another, like pigeons in flight. I have known pigeons who fly in a nowhere,
and birds that eat grainlessness, and tailors who sew beautiful clothes
by tearing them to pieces. -Rumi
Nothing takes the taste out of peanut butter quite like unrequited love. -Charlie Brown
Because I cannot sleep
I make music at night.
I am troubled by the one
whose face has the color of spring flowers.
I have neither sleep nor patience,
neither a god reputation nor disgrace.
A thousand robes of wisdom are gone.
All my good manners have moved a thousand miles away.
The heart and the mind are left angry with each other.
The stars and the moon are envious of each other.
Because of this alienation the physical universe
is getting tighter and tighter.
The moon says, "How long will I remain
suspended without a sun?"
Without Love's jewel inside of me,
let the bazaar of my existence be destroyed stone by stone.
O Love, You who have been called by a thousand names,
You who know how to pour the wine
into the chalice of the body,
You who give culture to a thousand cultures,
You who are faceless but have a thousand faces,
O Love, You who shape the faces
of Turks, Europeans, and Zanzibaris,
give me a glass from Your bottle,
or a handful of bheng from Your Branch.
Remove the cork once more.
Then we'll see a thousand chiefs prostrate themselves,
and a circle of ecstatic troubadours will play.
Then the addict will breed craving
and will be resurrected,
and stand in awe till Judgement Day. -Rumi
I've written a song called Sugar about those people you meet that you'll never have a relationship with, but if you could have 25 minutes alone with them, you'd have this incredible affair. There's something magical and you want to merge with it in every way possible... That's why I could imagine being a carnivore thousands of years ago; you want to merge with them so intensely you could almost eat them. Say we didn't have bodies and blood and guts, but just released these light energies like colours, then we could just merge. That's what making love is really about. Your blue connects with my pale orange; a little bit of fire-engine red with your lime green! That's what they were doing when they ate someone, like their lover or a beaten enemy. -Tori Amos

What’s in a name...
Current mood:  pleased
Did a name analysis and it was scarily accurate! Link is at the bottom if anyone would like to try it out!
- Although the name Lori creates the urge to be reliable and responsible, we emphasize that it causes an emotional intensity that is hard to control.
- This name, when combined with the last name, can frustrate happiness, contentment, and success, as well as cause health weaknesses in the nervous system, worry, and mental tension.
- Your name of Lori makes you very idealistic and generous, with the strong desire to uplift humanity leading you into situations where you can express your desire to serve others.
- You want to assume responsibilities and to look after people; however, you can become too involved in other people’s problems and tend to worry.
- Your name gives you a natural desire to express along artistic and musical lines.
- You desire a settled home and family life, and are expressive and attentive to your loved ones.

American Idol Blog
I found this blog and this part made me laugh so hard I cried and choked at the some time. This man puts into words how I feel about Kristy Lee Cook’s performance....
"
Kristy Lee Cook. Here we motherfucking go. KLC says that her parents won’t tell her any details about her birth, I’m assuming because Ruth Gordon was involved, or else just because they’re as bummed about it happening as we are. She tells us about this one time that she wore a bathing suit. Why are these people so boring? What the hell? She’s like, "Eventually I stopped annoying my family." That’s nice that they let her think that. Even Ryan has a hard time keeping his salad down when introducing the following monstrosity: "Singing ’God Bless The USA,’ Kristy Lee Cook." And she does the fucker right, dude, with like red white and blue shit happening everywhere and a serious no-kidding stars and garters flag waving in the background. She heads over to one side of the stage and saves some puppies from Nazis and knits a doily for our boys in Iraq and paints a sign saying "Cancer Is Bad," and then on the other side of the stage, Our Lord Jesus Christ gives her a high five and he’s like, "Remember that time I was walking on the beach and then there were those footprints? Thanks, Kristy Lee Cook."
Good times!

Victory Fund
I am speechless. I just heard a tape of a truly hateful speech made by an elected official. It is astounding what they will say when they think we are not listening. Check it out at http://www.victoryfund.org/listening. Equating the movement for LGBT equality with terrorism and toe cancer? Come on. It is so ridiculous that it would almost be humorous, except that she is deadly serious, and people are listening to her behind closed doors. We will not let this one go by. We need to make sure she knows people everywhere know what they say when they think we're not listening by visiting http://www.victoryfund.org/listening.
I encourage everyone to check the website out and help keep people like this out of office!

Queen Izabella
Current mood:  sad
This is our cat Queen Izabella (Izzie). She had to be put down yesterday because she was in the final stages of kidney disease. We had her over 13 years and for those that never got to meet her she was the coolest cat ever and I will miss her immensely.
