I'm blue collar in a world where the working man is relegated to the past. I'm a romantic, where it is regarded as being a failing, except by a few young, still tender souls, who can see things others cannot.

Things I love are rainy days, when I'm home, watching the storm, dry and warm, working at the mundane, such as cleaning the house, listening to some good jazz or classical music and making dinner, with a bottle of red wine breathing. And, I love my little cocker spaniel, getting old, but still lively with a tail that wags out her love for me.

If I leave this world tomorrow, I want to think I've enjoyed many fantastic trips in the reading of all the great poets and writers and, perhaps, left a few footsteps somewhere in some other mind as well.




Got this off My Imaginary Friend's page. I hate abusing animals in any fashion. I consider eating flesh worse than abuse. To me it's murder. I couldn't agree more with this comment.

"A bunny, her eyes are taped wide open, and a stinging liquid (Laundry Detergent), is slowly dripped into her open eyes. The test was/is done to see how much laundry detergent is needed, before the animal goes blind, or her eyes are completely burned out. The test showed: Laundry detergent is damaging when splashed into eyes. Really? No way!"
ANIMAL TESTING IS SOO WRONG!!!! If you agree put this on your page

    i love Tom Waits rather sacraligious humor. This song was one of his best. i would like to see what it inspires. Watch the song and hear his story and see what comes to you. Humorous is good, but whatever you like.

    It's Christmas time and that means we share the best memories with those we love the most. Or, in this instance, I share the memory of the one I cared for very much with others that his memory might be more than just a flick
