    I don't know about you, but my neighborhood is overrun with squirrels. However, unlike most people who feel that these pests are nothing more than a major nuisance, I say if it wasn't for those furry little friends I never would have been able to learn the art of taxidermy, prepare gourmet rodent delicacies or design fur-lined vests with matching bushy-tailed hats...

    Methinks thine love remarkably fair
    With each hallowed breath ye take. Perfuming sweet and sacred air .Wispy bouquet exceedingly rare, sweetest rose in garden's fair, with her sheer loveliness none can compare
    Brilliantly done as the summer’s day
    Forsooth yon shines heaven’s most glorious ray,
    Yet before thy grace I am but a helpless fool
    To be found lacking in your presence a fate certainly most cruel,
    Heralded still by angels on high, this day
    Hath brought this humble Knight's will to bay
    Inspiring demons within my senses yet to show
    In mine errant sensibilities doth your perfection grow
    You are gentle raindrops kissing from above In you'r most consummate beauty you are the enchantress of my love.

    Dear Santa:

    By Firedad53073,

    Dear Santa:
    Let me start off by saying; I have tried really hard to be good all year long.
    That whole debacle with the circus midget thing was really NOT my fault.
    I didn't know pythons could do that. I really thought he would work better hungry.
    Any way RIP Tiny Tommy.
    But you do have to admit, about that whole incident with the nine iron and the peanut butter; she had it coming.
    Well I am getting off track. The reason for this letter being overnighted and sent priority mail really is quite funny.
    If you receive a package from my PO Box marked attention Santa you may just want to throw it away.
    No since opening it; and you may not want to expose it to any high temperatures.
    It was all a big mix up and I was kind of upset when I sent it.
    Well now I'm taking my medication and I don't want any one else to get hurt.
    Remember last year when I asked for the remote control Tank man car and all I got was a football?
    You know I got to thinking about that and just got a little upset.
    So how is everyone? Are you and Mrs. Claus doing alright? Tell Rudolph I said hi.
    I bet it gets really cold at the North Pole. It is sure cold here.
    Almost like last year when I lost my job and had to live in a V.W. bus for six months. WOW boy did it ever snow.
    The snow was so high it was over my windows.
    Yup I remember it well. I was very cold last year. And for Christmas I asked for a new winter coat, an electric blanket and the remote control Tank Man car.
    Don't get me wrong I am thankful for the foot ball.
     
    P.S. Maybe you should go ahead and open the other package after all! Merry Christmas…

    For my Lady.

    By Firedad53073,

    :thumbup: I have always thought of love as kind of well a hoax, we all know cupid that crazy fellow he will do any thing for a joke. He aims his arrow at every one he sees, the next thing you know loves great strength brings us to our knees. I wrote this little poem just to remind it is not love that alters when it alteration finds.:blushing:

    Tips for the future!

    By Firedad53073,

    :rolleyes2:If I could offer you only one tip for the future,
    sunscreen would be it.
    The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists,
    whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience
    I will dispense this advice now.
    Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth, oh nevermind,
    you will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they've faded.
    But trust me, in 20 years you'll look back at photos of yourself
    and recall in a way you can't grasp now, how much possibility lay before you
    and how fabulous you really looked,
    you are not as fat as you imagine.
    Don't worry about the future, or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum.
    The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind, the kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday.
    Do one thing everyday that scares you.
    Sing.
    Don't be reckless with other people's hearts, don't put up with people who are reckless with yours.
    Floss.
    Don't waste your time on jealousy, sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind,
    the race is long, and in the end, it's only with yourself.
    Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults,
    if you succeed in doing this, tell me how.
    Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements.
    Stretch.
    Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life,
    the most interesting people I know didn't know at 22
    what they wanted to do with their lives,
    some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don't.
    Get plenty of calcium.
    Be kind to your knees, you'll miss them when they're gone.
    Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't, maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't,
    Maybe you'll divorce at 40,
    Maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary
    What ever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either
    Your choices are half chance, so are everybody else's.
    Enjoy your body, use it every way you can, don't be afraid of it,
    or what other people think of it, it's the greatest instrument you'll ever own
    Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room.
    Read the directions, even if you don't follow them.
    Do not read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly.
    Get to know your parents, you never know when they'll be gone for good.
    Be nice to your siblings, they are the best link to your past
    and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.
    Understand that friends come and go, but for the precious few you should hold on.
    Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle because the older you get,
    the more you need the people you knew when you were young.
    Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard,
    Live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft.
    Travel.
    Accept certain inalienable truths, prices will rise, politicians will philander,
    you too will get old, and when you do you'll fantasize that when you were young
    prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders.
    Respect your elders.
    Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund,
    Maybe you have a wealthy spouse; but you never know when either one might run out.
    Don't mess too much with your hair, or by the time you're 40, it will look 85.
    Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who supply it.
    Advice is a form of nostalgia,
    dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off,
    painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.:confused:
     
    :thumbup:But trust me on the sunscreen:thumbup:

    I really am a nice, affectionate, caring guy and those who know me best could not imagine me as anything but so. There is no bit nor ounce of me which is cruel, mean, or petty in any shape form or way. Because of this, I am doomed and condemned through so much of life, pained and aggravated by the frustrations of truth and bitterly aching realities. I feel so contorted and distorted too much of the time, dragged down and beaten by the insistent ironies and troubling turmoils of life.
     
    It takes way too much courage and strength to be a profoundly effectively nice person in spite of all the odds against finding true love.
     
    People tend to think of the simply good as lacking in proper character and will, that someone who dares to go beyond human bindings in heart and soul is actually someone weak, bland, uninteresting or strange, bizzare, crazy. They feel disconcertingly weird when someone rhapsodizes them in unconditional adoration. Because any admirer must inherently be human, and refuse to allow the transcendent emotion of others to conduit with our more vulgar realities. They feel that unexplained, perhaps even undeserving affection is not specific enough to them, that it might as well not be showered upon any one at all.
     
    Perhaps in the abstract view of life it could and should; but to find some nexus of actuality where the invisible potentials for genuine relation can connect in a spark of splendor is truly too great to give up on altogether. The challenge, really, is to try to learn what we can through the pain of an open existence that we may better tune and temper our souls to the multi-dimensional music subtly discernable amid the cacophony of mutual living.

    :thumbup:To day I got my first fill in my band (that felt wired) being back on liquids makes me feel like I am starting over with the whole band process. This is not a bad thing I have lost some weight but now I feel like it is going to kick in and start earning its worth {man I hope so} I know this is all a process and not going to happen over night but it would be nice to actually see some more pronounced results. I have been in the Gym and drinking my water. But I still have been not so good at not eating when I get stressed (stress eater at your service, some people get mad others break things me I just shove food down my gullet till all is well. I need a better release for my tension. Or at least a lot of zero calorie or high protein snacks) Well I will be tracking my progress as I go so hang in there and we will get through this together.

    :angry_smile: Rock on I just found out that I have a blog now for me to share my feelings.
    As this is the first entry in my blog it is only fair to warn everyone I dont spell worth a crap and I dont mix words if i feel it I say it. Not every one is going to like what I have to say but the point of a blog is not to impress you but for me to jot down my feelings.:cursing:
