I'm on Craigslist

So this is the song for the day because we're trying to get rid of our (shit) bargain priced antiques, before we move.
EKKK.

Do you want my styrofoam peanuts?
They're on Craigslist.

Who says white folks can't dance?


Obama Smackdown

But he'd like to do this to most of the GOP!

Proof That I Remember

I'm a published author. Looking Glass Central Regional High School. Volume 17 1982.

It could have been....
The space in me has grown so big
That no amount of tears,
or frustration,
or letters,
or denial,
or comfort,
can cure me.
No matter how hard I try
I see pictures of us
Flashing through my mind
---sentenced to repeated showings of OUR movie.
But even so
I don't know what to do.
I've tried to forget you,
To put you out of my life
I've even tried to hate you
---but I can't
My heart is reaching for the phone
Yet something is telling me
I'm asking for pain
But I think I'm pretty close to being numb---
or dumb....
Lisa
Thompson 1982

More on Moving

I had a day the other day not sure is it was good or bad but here's what happened.
I went to the bowels of my closet to retrieve the 'mourning stuff"
things I have already gone through several times
when will i learn?
after my mom passed away
after i moved it here
now again when i am trying to figure out what to take on this next move
it's just mushy stuff
my Dad as big and Colnel like that he was
was a MUSH
he saved so many things
as I went through them for the first time it was like the hug I never got
little things
notes of the grandchildren, telegraph congratulating my sister on her engagement and the birth of her son, the first grandchild
pictures of all of my siblings throughout grade school and high school
you get the picture.
so in this digital world it's hard to decide how to preserve this snapshot of
my life
so I put it in a box
I've been trying to share it with the boy and the girl as I pack it up
they seem disinterested.
which makes me wonder
was i this disinterested as my Mom talked to me about the pictures that I now
am trying to decide
what to do with because
I don't know who
the heck is that person staring back at me
on the other side of the picture

Gratitude

Going through STUFF in preparation for the move.
It takes me a while to part with things
thank you very much.
I am starting to dissect the parts of this
Pack Rat thing.
Number One-
my parents didn't share a whole lot with us
about life
their life
so we were left wondering
anything that is left of them now is a piece if the story???
number two
when you find your self in a place of need
being thankful for 4 one hundred percent cotton pillow cases
you have a hard time letting go of the extra ones you now own.
thank you
for the extra pillow cases in our life
