I have a friend who needs a little reassurance and support.  I emailed them the link to this page, but I thought we all might benefit from these words.

Just Wait
Lyrics: John Popper

If ever you are feeling like you’re tired
And all your uphill struggles leave you headed downhill
If you realize your wildest dreams can hurt you
And your appetite for pain has drinken its fill

I ask of you a very simple question
Did you think for one minute that you are alone
And is your suffering a privilege you share only
Or did you think that everybody else feels completely at home

Just wait, Just wait
Just wait, And it will come

If you think I’ve given up on you you’re crazy
And if you think I don’t love you well then you’re just wrong
In time you just might take to feeling better
Time is the beauty of the road being long

I know that now you feel no consolation
But maybe if I told you and informed you out loud
I say this without fear of hesitation
I can honestly tell you that you make me proud

Just wait, Just wait
Just wait, And it will come

If anything I might have just said has helped you
If anything I might have just said helped you just carry on
Your rise uphill may no longer seem a struggle
And your appetite for pain may all but be gone

I hope for you and cannot stop at hoping
Until that smile has once again returned to your face
There’s no such thing as a failure who keeps trying
Coasting to the bottom is the only disgrace

Just wait, Just wait
Just wait, And it will come

Little Known Facts About Me

 I am a Capricorn.  Maybe that’s why I’m always horny.

 I was the wicked stepmother in my 5th grade  presentation of “Cinderella”.

 I am such a damn flirt …

 I still am not completely sure of what I want to be if I ever grow up.

 I got burnt out on “religion” at a young age.

Quote of the Day

“Women don’t need conventional tools around the house, we’ll use anything that’s handy.  But when pounding a nail, don’t use a shoe – shoes cost $40 a pair.  A package of frozen hamburgers costs $5.  Use the hamburger.”

— Jeannie Dietz

True Confession

At my last job, I had a crush on the Fed Ex boy, Brad.

Ask Swirly:

Q: Why does a non-erect penis look so unassuming?

A: It looks non-threatening and cute.  Women will find it sweet and dear … ‘Awww!  A little mushroom cap!’  Then when they are not looking … (duh-duh-duh-dut-duh-dum!) SUPER PENIS!  At that point it is too late.

Annoying Trick of the Day

Scuff your feet on a dry, shaggy carpet and seek out victims.

Small Town Life
part 7

Carl Matthews

It’s about that time, actually a few minutes late. I wonder where she is? I hope everything is all right.

Oh Lord, here comes fun. Mrs. Henderson and that flea-bitten mutt o’ hers. Gosh, Carl … calm down and be nice. Don’t let her get to you.

Mrs. Henderson, how are you doing this fine morning? Glad to hear it, ma’am. Fill ‘er up?

Good morning, Brenda. Wait … oh my God … she’s pulling in here! What do I do? Okay, act cool, Carl. It’s no big deal. She’s just another customer. I don’t wanna call her Mrs. Massey, she ain’t with Mr. Massey anymore. I’ll just avoid them naming conventions all together.

Good morning. What can I do for you?

I have always appreciated the way Brenda looks ya in the eye. So charming and polite.

Yes, ma’am. You did give me a five instead of a ten last time, but it was an honest mistake and I paid for it. I can’t believe you’ve worried about it all this time. It’s nothing, ma’am. Okay, it’s nothing Brenda. It’s been taken care of. I appreciate your honesty and all, but I can’t take your money. You’ll what? Oh, I can’t … well … I don’t wanna be rude. If you insist, I guess I could. How’s 7PM? Okay, where are you? 506 Oak Lane. Okay, I’ll see ya there. You have a good day, too.

Oh my God, thank you Jesus! I ain’t believing that happened. I might have to go home sick.

Yes, Mrs. Henderson, I heard it click. I was just trying to help out Brenda there. Yes, ma’am … I’ll converse on my own time, you caught me red-handed.

Killjoy ol’ bag. I feel sorry for the dog of yours sometimes.  I wonder if he’s ever tried to choke himself with his collar.

That’ll be $11.00. Outta a twenty? There’s sixteen, seventeen, eightteen, nineteen, twenty. Have a good one, ma’am.

And take your own sweet time coming back, ya hear? Geez … of ALL days to come in here and show yourself …

My Lord, I can’t beleive Brenda remembered all of that oil change nonsense and has felt guilty all this time. Just goes to prove my point, that’s a fine lady there. Rare specimen.

I gotta calm down before I go over there tonight. I’m so nervous I’m liable to hose down the front porch with puke before I even get inside … thank you, Lord, again.

Quote of the Day

My interest in desperation lies only in that sometimes I find myself having become desperate. Very seldom do I start out that way. I can see of course that, in the abstract, thinking and all activity is rather desperate.
— Willem de Kooning

Betcha Didn’t Know …

I’m going commando today.

My Armor

To call me a fearless girl
Would be a real stretch

I suffer from endless worry
And mute self-consciousness
And though the shell you see
May appear to be made of steel
It’s actually layers of aluminum
That one careless word can puncture

I stand before you pretending
Trying to seem tough and indifferent
But my vulnerability shows through
My guard is shaken by your presence
And in that small little quiver
If you look closely you will see
The not-so-fearless girl
That I really am
