| Bio: | To whom it may concern: Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the theory-interpolated capacity to know the difference. Blah. I welcome members of all races, genders, and modes of critical inquiry. FRIENDS ONLY I won't eat your face, but I may offend (occasionally). If we have things in common, feel free to add, and I'll (most likely) add you back. Please leave a comment HERE. I don't always look at my user page; so, if you do not leave a comment, it will be a long waiting period before you are added.  Peggy to most (though I have been called "Morg", "Peg", and "Pegadeth" on occasion). Yes, this is a friend's only journal. No other explanations are needed. Everyone's responsible to take precaution - be aware research is our best defense if we ignore it we'll just fool ourselves Sick of It All: Indust. I wrote a story in the book of life today I turned the page and then I turned and walked away Cause what I wrote was just symbolic of the time I've been surrounded by another state of mind You do this, to gain control You say that, to make yourself feel whole You say this, just to be kind I see it's all just a waste of fucking time! Sometimes the problems freeze the pen that's in my hand No rules provided that will make me understand And then I think about the notes that I just took I put 'em down, I look around, then close the book. I see the writing I didn't mean to write this paragraph to tell me that I'm me All rules provided, symbolic of the time It keeps me from falling into another state of mind I do this, to gain control I do this, to make myself feel whole I say this, not to be kind What do I see? It's just wasted fuckin time. H2O: Surrounded HER KIND I have gone out, a possessed witch, haunting the black air, braver at night; dreaming evil, I have done my hitch over the plain houses, light by light: lonely thing, twelve-fingered, out of mind. A woman like that is not a woman, quite. I have been her kind. I have found the warm caves in the woods, filled them with skillets, carvings, shelves, closets, silks, innumerable goods; fixed the suppers for the worms and the elves: whining, rearranging the disaligned. A woman like that is misunderstood. I have been her kind. I have ridden in your cart, driver, waved my nude arms at villages going by, learning the last bright routes, survivor where your flames still bite my thigh and my ribs crack where your wheels wind. A woman like that is not ashamed to die. I have been her kind. ~Anne Sexton listen to her read the poem: http://www.poets.org/poems/poems.cfm?prmID=1071 Mermaid found a swimming lad, Picked him for her own, Pressed her body to his body, Laughed; and plunged down Forgot in cruel happiness That even lovers drown. William Butler Yeats Now, only recently, being on the point of giving my last squawk,I thought of looking for the key to the ancient feast where I might find my appetite again. Charity is that key. -- This inspiration proves that I have dreamed! Arthur Rimbaud: A Season in Hell  Henri Rousseau "The Dream" "There are people who put their dreams in a little box and say,'Yes, I've got dreams, of course I've got dreams.' Then they put the box away and bring it out once in a while to look in it, and yep, they're still there. These are great dreams, but they never even get out of the box. It takes an uncommon amount of guts to put your dreams on the line, to hold them up and say, 'How good or how bad am I?' That's where courage comes in." ~ Erma Louise Bombeck "It's not enough to have a dream, Unless you're willing to pursue it. It's not enough to know what's right, Unless you're strong enough to do it. It's not enough to learn the truth, Unless you also learn to live it. It's not enough to reach for love, Unless you care enough to give it. Men who are resolved to find a way for themselves will always find opportunities enough; and if they do not find them, they will make them." ~Samuel Smiles "Sleep hath it's own world, - And a wide realm of wild reality. - And dreams in their development have breath, - And tears, and tortures, and the touch of joy."- Lord Byron </center> "Dare to live the life you have dreamed for yourself. Go forward and make your dreams come true." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson "Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now." ~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe | |||||
