Life Lessions and other relevant information

I wrote this post 9 days ago according to iNotes. I remember writing it on a plane and stopping because I was getting emotional. While that felt like months ago it was less than two weeks ago. Days and nights seamlessly merge without much distinction or distraction, not always a bad thing to feel as if your on a continuum, unless you revel in change and growth, as I often do. Anyway, the actual post ... I've missed the space where I felt I could truly be the person I imagine myself to be. That space is here on your screen behind the guise of Wordpress. I've been away from my site and my notebook for far too long, long enough where I can't even fathom calling myself a blogger, writer or…

We Wear the Mask

Lifestyle

Paul Laurence Dunbar (1872-1906) We Wear the Mask WE wear the mask that grins and lies, It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,— This debt we pay to human guile; With torn and bleeding hearts we smile, And mouth with myriad subtleties. Why should the world be over-wise, In counting all our tears and sighs? Nay, let them only see us, while We wear the mask. We smile, but, O great Christ, our cries To thee from tortured souls arise. We sing, but oh the clay is vile Beneath our feet, and long the mile; But let the world dream otherwise, We wear the mask!

Lifestyle

I am super excited to report this news.. Peep the following email I received just hours ago : We have received your submission for inclusion in EROS 369: An Anthology for Adults Vol. II. We are pleased to inform you that your submission will be included in this year's publication! Congratulations! -- This is excellent. I don't know if you remember but back in January I published ' My (non) New Year's Resolutions' and one of them was "2. Write more – not just here. Writing in general, which is to include short stories, poems, papers, whatever the heck strikes me. Music Guides me and words inspire me." I'm giddy. So many good things happening. If you build it they will come tight? Oh so when the book comes out…

The Time for Democracy is NOW!!

Mis-Adventures

So, I joined a contest on one of my fellow blogger site, A Phone Sex LIfe, so now EVERYONE has to go vote for me. My entry is under the name of Desire. In the contest you had to "Describe the ultimate sexual experience that anyone would love." And I think I did pretty darn well... I haven't read the other entries, but I will. And even if you don't vote for me, which you should, at least vote for someone so that it makes it interesting!! p.s. I need to find some cute catchy ending phrase, like how on Gossip girl, she's always like "XOXO Gossip Girl." Damn... any ideas.. Maybe I'll hold a contest and we can vote on the best phrase .. Interesting idea .. I'll definitely…
