Bullies
I hear people say they are too fat, too thin, too tall, too short, have too little a nose, too big a nose, they've got freckles, wrinkles, pimples, or they are too pale, too dark and that makes them ugly.
These things do not make you ugly. You know what makes a person ugly? Listen to a Trump speech for 10 minutes. Hate makes you ugly. Not caring about people who are suffering makes you repugnant.
No one likes bullies but other bullies. There is a reason Trump looks up to people like Putin and Kim Jong-Un.
Back in High School, I was bullied. I was 6'1 and...

Borders of Seasons - My daughter's thoughts after her birthday dinner.
It seems like all of life is made of seasons. But the seasons are not clear and drift back and forth into each other. The borders of seasons are the most confusing and that’s where I am now.
During a birthday dinner with my mother I started remembering my childhood. Once I asked my mother if we could go see Grandma in heaven. Mother never said there wasn’t a heaven to visit, but her tone when she said no made me realize this life might be all there is and I felt sick inside. I filed that sick feeling in the “I don’t know” box in my mind and there it has stayed, content to remain...

Daze Of The Weak! :)
on behalf of equal rights for nights, i would like to put the case forward that the days of the week, should be split in half aka divided into nights ie, monday+monnight, tuesday+tuesnight. i do realise, that in the process, i am excluding dawn, and twilight, which could be included at a later date, and for now could be represented simply as a + ie mon+, but this could cause some confusion, as it would be unclear as to whether it was mondawn, or montwilight, also, depending on what time of year it is, night will obviously be longer than day, and vis versa,and dawn, and twilight, are both...

IF I WROTE A BOOK
SUBJECT
There's no doubt the
subject would be
YOU.
The category would be erotica
(That is if YOU agree).
This means I have the
most amazing subject
in the whole world,
YOU.
My only challenge would
be in trying to decide
what I'd leave out...everything
about you from A to Z
is so wonderful, different,
and amazingly unique.
It won't take too much time
because my heart is overflowing
with wonderful truths and
experiences with amazing
YOU.
Possible chapters would be:
A chapter on...

Quick Update
Hi all,
I'm still homeless, unfortunately, due to the fire on March 6. How fortunate I wasn't present at the time! My GP has confirmed I'm suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. The panic attacks are pretty intense.
I'm in hotel accommodation (pretty expensive), and am uncertain of where to go from there. I miss posting here and expect I will soon enough.
Hope to connect soon,
Lozzamus (Lawrence)

The Blue Tube
Some dreams are more than dreams.
Some 25 years ago I 'dreamed' this. It is an exact description, for I remember every detail.
It is a bright chilly day and I am walking in the parking lot of the apartment building where I live and am almost at my car door when a very loud metallic clang rings out, akin to the sound of a sledge crashing into an anvil. I look up and towards the west from where the noise came and see the horizon turn white and then in a flash everything turns white.
I wake up naked in a transparent tube with a bluish hue....

This Is Only My Assurety
My aunt once told me this
When it's your time to kiss
Kiss your wife in her to love
With passions seen in her cove
I examine this within the full me
And this I did so aquickly
I told her all I could truly see
From this note is my dear alonely
Because this I truly feel for me
Is of me ladies have uncertainty
Stone an athwug I know I be
And can't adjust this on awomanly
The high of the chill my attitude feels
Is not for society and all it's thrills
My breaths I take before each awakes ...
When it's your time to kiss
Kiss your wife in her to love
With passions seen in her cove
I examine this within the full me
And this I did so aquickly
I told her all I could truly see
From this note is my dear alonely
Because this I truly feel for me
Is of me ladies have uncertainty
Stone an athwug I know I be
And can't adjust this on awomanly
The high of the chill my attitude feels
Is not for society and all it's thrills
My breaths I take before each awakes ...

A birdbrain ( A fool )
When the twists and turns
of Life came, she tripped and collapsed
on the road
no longer thrilled to work again.
She might die with breath still in her chest,
light retires out
with fire still in her eyes and bones.
A fool for not taking notes
this she knows.
Looking on as leaves disobey the air current with flare
she hides in the clouds under the Sun
even when her heart reminded her of her worth,
her soul keeps yearning for more than life.

Looking on as leaves disobey the air current with flare

Lost in thoughts pt1
Losing sense of being
The world has it's hands around my neck
It's farewell to life with every breath,
Hope is alive but slowly dying within
Starting to prefer death to this ache
Why were there no signs at birth..?
Growing tired of the pain
Feeling like giving in
yet will that make it go away
Told since the day of old
that 'Heaven receives not those who try to shortcut their way to it.'
Yet how does one live
Without peace of mind
The world has it's hands around my neck
It's farewell to life with every breath,
Hope is alive but slowly dying within
Starting to prefer death to this ache
Why were there no signs at birth..?
Growing tired of the pain
Feeling like giving in
yet will that make it go away
Told since the day of old
that 'Heaven receives not those who try to shortcut their way to it.'
Yet how does one live
Without peace of mind

It's Life Gym, But Not As We Know It!
