I had no say in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

So my fingers are still taking a little time to loosen up after holding tightly against the leash which valiantly held the collar of my parents Cock-a-poo named Lady. The families other dog, Rugby, also accompanied us guided by the graceful hand of my younger sister who is staying at the old homestead on her spring break. I definitely had no say in the naming of our pets. Until recently, we had another dog, a golden retriever, named Jasmin

I've actually been feeling my age a lot more lately and it's only my 23rd birthday around the corner. But I think a lot of the stuff you brought up speaks to a lot of people going through different age transitions. Just as your kids are growing up, I'm in the first year of my first "real" job, trying to pay bills, etc.. Also I notice it is a lot harder to maintain a decent body shape from when I was always involved in sports and could eat whatever I

So exactly why are you giddy with joy? Hopefully it has to with something beyond a good deal at the craft store....but hey, just cause I'm not always easy to please doesn't mean others shouldn't be right?

Well I think I'm probably going to be one of the people you're attempting to weasel drinks out of...I'll have to consult the wallet for that one. But regardless I'll bring a flask full of Jag we can sneak sips of in laboratory. What do you mean you're not Irish? I thought you had at least a 1/4 in ya...aren't those red beard hairs? Or, if you want someone who's a 1/4 Irish in you, then maybe we can work something out on Wed.......eww. </

Well Unfairman, being genuinely more Irish than I makes you more appropriately dressed for St. Patty's Day a lot more than me, regardless of what either of us is wearing. Dharmagrl - yeah, I definitely have to say she does. Despite my best efforts to think otherwise.

Looking forward to looking forward in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

So I've kind of decided that there was nothing completely different about last weekend except that someone shed a little light into my world and let me see how nice it can be when I can see better. As the healine states, I really am looking forward to looking forward....whatever that may mean: career, dreams, etc.. A line I decided I'd like to put in a song or poem as I was driving home today was "I don't need a woman to complete me, but it would def

Nicky, I found open mic experiences to be one of the most enlighten things ever. They really gave me a chance to witness how my emotions can be conveyed to other people. I found it terrifying and therapeutic at the same time. It is fun to mess around with margins and stuff like that. I remember as a kid Shel Silverstein rocked at word placement and other such spacial tricks.

BakerStreet, you're absolutely right. I don't expect a lot of people to enjoy reading my poetry and be overwhelmed with all the things they want to say about it. I just panicked a bit when I felt like I had put in a lot of effort to see what people thought about a variety of things and such and no one commented for a few days...maybe I was just getting lonely. And I think I mentioned in another thread, if not this one, that I know poetry is

Well I've never been pregnant, and it would be very interesting if I ever was. I'm trying to think if there are any odors that stir up a lot of memory but I can't think of any right now. I think I'm more tuned in to music as reminding me of particular travels, people, etc..

Wow, International exposure! Holy Crap! That rules. This one will be stacked on my rapidly growing "edit" list, but if I ever get around to it you can be sure it will show up here.

Reply to The Chocolate Milk Dance in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

Honestly, for a really long time I always thought I wanted to be a child advocate but not work directly with kids. Then I just kind of fell into it and I don't think I could really go the complete other way at this point. Being around kids really grounds you and you realize how easy it is to get carried away in things that don't really matter. Sure, you can see this happening to kids at an early age too, but no matter how crazy our world gets, there

Poet - but is what makes them universally interesting worth discussing anyway, or are we just compelled to look at threads about, say, Janet Jackson. I couldn't care less if she died tomorrow, yet I'm sure if she did a post discussing it would be a top article/forum topic. Now do people click on it because they really think it's interesting, or because they feel compelled to have an opinion about something so incredibly irrelevant to their lives.

Dan, where do you teach? I was thinking about joining teach for america so I could get my license sometime in the next 5 years. I only wish my other suggestions had such success.

Reply to Leave the Light On in Art JoeUser Forums

Thanks WF. Sherye, I'm surprised to hear you say that. Most people don't like my rhyme schemes since it's usually my free writing style, but I always find it interesting when I get little feedback on pieces I'm particularly proud of, and certain praise for others I don't take very seriously.....eye of the beholder perhaps...thanks for reading.

I originally wanted to keep going with "I'm" as the beginning of every line, so I may play with a bit before I'd ever call it a finished piece, but so far, an experiment gone fairly well...thanks.

Wahkonta Anathema - Hmm, alright, I'll keep working on my headlines...it is headlines that sell after all right? majinit - I feel ya, sometimes I get on a kick where I try to force out a bunch of stuff, but often a lot is crap I suppose...I think I may actually have to delete some of these poems....seriously, not good.

Post Count Whores in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

Well apparently I haven't written anything worth replying to in my last 4 posts. Which, means that either, people don't like poetry, never see my site, or are too speechless by how moved they are by my words that they're unable to convey their thoughts on my comment boards. More than likely though, it's really just a result of my man Unfairman not being logged on recently. It is true though that many on Joeuser are post count whores. Topi
