Big Decision

Hey! Its nearly September already!! My goodness gracious the year has simply flown by! Its been quite a busy time this past year ... triumphs! travels .. tragedys... and ongoing trials filled the months for me. I've faced a lot of first's and believe it or not .. I'm about to add one more to my growing list. I am going to VOTE! * pauses for gasps and cheers* .

Yes I have been remiss in voting ... and upon reading all the information I can on the candidates I myself am a bit loathe at myself in my lack of doing this long before now ... I grew up nieve to the real difference one vote can make. I was busy focusing my prioritys on family and my domestic responsiblities.. not even comprehending the value my one voice could pay the process of voting for those who would lead us in choices for my home. *hangs head* I neglected it then I'm nurturing it now! I have my registration card and im reading about each candidate. Its a priority to be as informed as I can when the time to cast my vote comes. I am excited to add my voice to the decision and yet I'm nervous in adding my voice to such a big decision. How do you feel when you vote?

Thanks for reading :)

Todays Poem:

He said ..she said ..
fingers point, debates rage..
weeding out the data
from speeches sour or sage ..

Which one rules the country
have to pick before to long ..
which one leads the nation ..
has morals and can be strong ?

Democrat , Republican
pick a side to stand
I dont see the partys ..
I'm voting for the MAN

screaming bout the issues
ranting o'er our stance
he who leads the country
steps a very tricky dance

One human being ..
protecting his home
one human being ...
seeking peace for when we roam

Presidency is Power
the job has pressure too
I'll cast my vote this election
for who'll best know what to do

Poet Night

Live Music Poetry Jam 4 ..

I've been here.. I've done this ...so why do I still have butterflies?? Tonight I join with my very good friends and amazingly talented musicians Jaycatt Nico and Patrick LaSalle in the realm of Second Life to once more slip into the beatnik theme and share my poetry. A while back after seeing a few poet readings in Second Life I had the notion to combine two of my loves... 1) Live Music and 2) Poetry. I bounced the idea off Patrick and Jaycatt and was met with wonderful support.. and Live Music Poetry Jam was formed. Without Patrick and Jaycatt the poet nights would just not be the same. I am deeply grateful for their help and guidance :)

Poet Night it has arrived
back on stage to kick the jive
nerves I feel to share my heart
friends support will not depart

words of expression, spoken in rhyme
layed out in hip themed beatnik time
although i am nervous and hope its a hoot
with my friends there .. success ..cant refute!

Thanks for reading :D

Silent Treatment

Hello! *brushes off cobwebs* yep.. its still here ... my blog ...Ive had much going on of late and sadly dear old Blog posting was casualty. The username typed.. the password entered.. and my 75th post .. now begins ;)

Who formed the concept of silent treatment? Was it a torture expert from a foreign country? A special agent in mental battlements? Its not even aptly named in my opinion... Treat ..implies something special and something good ..ment... leaves one to assume it was intentional. How is silence a meant treat? I wonder if we harnessed the power that Silent Treatment has over people if it could power a citys electric supply for a while.

What purpose does a Silent Treatment serve? Who comes up with this sort of idea .. communicating.. with silence. I understand theres a time to be silent. Theres a place to hold your tongue... but if communication is key ... why do so without words :D What do you think? This is just a ponderment on my part :) Break your silence and Treat me to some soundoffs :D *be gentle*

Thank you for reading

Todays Poem:

Say not a word
make not a sound
make a point
but cause a frown

fold your arms
and lips zipped tight
this aint progress
to make it right

speak your mind
when something ails
communicate
or solution fails

Have a super day!
