Lee and Grant At The White House
LEE AND GRANT AT THE WHITE HOUSE
Soon after Grant got elected president in 1868, Lee went to visit him at the White House.
The meeting lasted only ten minutes (or maybe just 5 minutes).
Its always been a great mystery as to why the meeting ended so abruptly.
My speculation is that the conversation went something like this:
(Lee) Congratulation, Mr President.
I'm sure that if you are half as good a president as you were a general,
the country will make real progress under your leadership.
(Grant) Thank you, General Lee.
I owe it all to...

Nice one, our Harry! Rather obviously you are evidently quite indomitably your own man! Much Bajan Respect!
By Stanley Collymore
Harry: the only genuinely useful,
very undeniably charming and
equally unquestionably quite
authentically motivated member of the
Windsor, monarchical family, and also
someone who is manifestly and very
markedly so the complete opposite
of clearly boring William, and Lazy
Kate: simply ostensibly conjointly

to astute people that is, denial;
rather self-servingly employed

scarring
I show my scars so that others know they can heal.”
―Rhachelle Nicol
scared to be scarred
where pride has starred,
my bosom its incubator;
only to be lonely,
should you disown me,
husks left alone for later.
mock me or make me;
whose life is at stake? gee,
don’t make me find...

Mohamed Al-Fayed: A truly dignified and undoubtedly, immensely commendable Gentleman!
By Stanley Collymore
A loving and devoted father, who
painfully knew the unvarnished
truth basically like many other
people, and also even loads of gullible
and easily persuaded sycophants that
choose to live in their evidently, errant
state of denial that simply undeniably
both his son Dodi and Diana's deaths,
intelligently weren't really occasioned
at all, through a natural auto accident
but were in effect rather malevolently
contrived and unquestionably, clearly
callously, basically self-servingly...

Duck Around And Find Out
Had a dream I was on my way home, as I turned the bend a boat of a car with two men in it blocked the road. They wouldn't let me by.
As I exited my vehicle, they offered up, hello ma'am! Would you like to buy a few ducks? To which I responded, I don't know. I wasn't interested in their ducks by no means, I was just needing time to think on how to get away from what I knew was about to happen.
Before I could offer up a response the one shaggy looking man grabbed me by my waist and pulled me close to him, in an extremely forceful manner. The other guy, which my mind told me they...

Allowing myself to be free
There were times she felt like she was withering away, little by little day by day. Much like a flower drowning in the rain. Her tears seemed to fill the room.
She was fine, everyone would assume.
But they all knew about the things she'd do to herself, in her room.
When everything became too much,
to her skin with razors she touched.
Her thoughts echoed all around, it was all she heard, not a single sound.
She often dreamt of better days, happier times in a better place.
She'd always pray for a kinder head space.

A crucially needed f**k but a thoroughly unplanned for bastard I've never wanted!
By Stanley Collymore
Most unapologetically, I did all that I
ever wanted to do for you and even
then that was distinctly done quite
involuntarily and similarly under duress;
and put bluntly, very reluctantly so. And
truthfully I will say the one connection I
very distinctly, and likewise realistically
from my personal point of view literally
have with you and at its optimum best
rather tenuously as it could ever get is
that I quite idiotically and significantly
discernibly involuntarily unfortunately
conceived you. A...

Arise your Majesty King William 1st of the United States of America!
By Stanley Collymore
What a stupid poll, if indeed it was
actually carried out in the first
place, and undoubtedly not
ludicrously made up; with the only thing
more idiotically about it being, that the
Daily Mail unquestionably reported it!
Well they would; wouldn't they? So is
William Windsor now going to stake
his clear supposedly populist claim
as monarch of the USA? Irrefutably
it would seem, going by what does
usually pass, as obviously rational ...

Reminders of Why I Strive and What I Strive For
- Reminders of Why I Strive and What I Strive For -
Being a personal journey of mine, from some of the early stages of my life to those that came after.
So, you may well ask when it began for me... the realization that I had changed, become something a great deal different than I used to be. Was it when I was sixteen years old and had to deal with the loss of the first girl I ever loved, Andrea? Maybe. Or perhaps it was following the eight years in which I did spend a great, tremendous amount of time trying to figure out who I was, and what was left of me, after the...

The Elements Of Shedding Tears (Cry Me A River: The Psychology Of Crying)
When we cry what exactly is released during this soulful emotion. Most parents advise their sons not to cry, because it shows a sign of weakness.
Most citizens of society cry for one reason of for various related issues; happiness, sadness, grief, and being overjoyed in the endurance of the moment.
Does one feel better about the circumstances, the turn of events once the tears have been shed, is there a better sense of mental peace, the relinquishing of emotions turmoil.
Why do teenagers or older adults shed tears on a softer approach, is it a normal response to accept...

Frozen Love
Lying here entombed in snow
Waiting for my true love to show
Waiting for true loves first kiss
To fall upon my frozen lips
I died right here within these woods
I tried to run but never could
The evil followed so fast so strong
Each turn I took was always wrong
This curse of death is not deserving
For love I only was oh so yearning
"No" I was told, "you don't need love"
"You'll bare a king to sit high above"
I refused their gracious gift
From the castle I fled so swift
I made...

Castaway Rafter
Back to writing my way out of this life...
Or am I to write this life right out of me...
I traverse these raging seas on my homebuilt raft... as I self cast into the waters of night... hoping I'm water tight... submersed... the quenching thirst keeps me at the pond of our salvation... a wind to my back navigation... god... maybe if I just knew what I wanted I could tear after it and through it... just fucking do it already... A steady wade into this raging flood... my boots wear clean the mud that's been weighing me down... but I drown in its current... a rusted chain dragged...
