Thanks for the comment on Why?, but I think you misunderstood me.  I didn't mean for my friend to totally cut off her relationship to her ex, just to give him some space.  I'd hate for her to lose his friendship!  <BR>

Michael T ~~  I started reading "Bad Country" and I was like .... Why does everyone like this so much.... But when I got to the line: "I guess this makes a shitty country song." I couldn't help laughing throughout the rest of the poem...It was a unique random poem...I guess the best way for me to read it was by laughing. good job ;-P<BR>
<BR>
Scqueen ~~ Thanks for the comment.. oh and I read through your account a little while ago, your writing ability is amazing. You created tons of great works. Keep writin'!

Sati~Thank you so much for your comment I really appreciate it.  I always feel like people do not read my writing, and if they do, they think it sucks.  I read some of your writing.  i really liked Alive.  It was beutiful.

angieubaldo- Please keep writing, I really like what I have been seeing.  I know what you mean about wondering if people are reading your poems, there was about a 2 month period where no one made one comment but I found that it didn't really matter.  This is my way of screaming from the mountain tops but I must admit I am walking on clouds when someone does post a comment about one of my poems, it is always good to know you are not alone.  I hope to see more from you.<BR>

Sati~  Thanks for your encouragment.  Its wierd, I always think I am so alone out in this world, and then I realized there are millions of people out there, who fall in love, have their hearts broken, and that have the same emotions as I do.   It very comforting to know that I am not the alone out here.  =)

I used to like country music--until, that is, I started living in a country song. Redneck soap opera is charming when you're living in a bedroom community for NYC, but a year in SE Texas will cure anyone of their Tim McGraw mania.

Hello All!!<BR>
<BR>
   angieubaldo and sati:<BR>
I read your comments to another and I completely know your fears and insecurities about people not reading your work.  I think each one of The Blenderites wonders if ANYONE, absolutely ANYONE reads their postings.  My opinion on the situation is that YES - we are being heard.  I fluctuate with my moods, as do most people.  Sometimes, a posting titled and subscripted like <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2001.09.24.16.02.11881">Secrets</a> would draw me in to its story.  Other days, <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2001.09.24.09.35.29531">No Head for Liquor</a>  would be my first choice of the morn.  I think that it is wonderful that most Blenderites only comment when a particular piece hits 'em hard.  If all days dripped you in praise, would the significance and special moment still have such power and validation?  Does that seem logical?  <BR>
   I love it that I post for me - and on occasion someone likes what I post.  It doesn't happen often - but when it does, I read and re-read that piece to look for other interpretations.  Sometimes, I read something so powerful and close to home that I am too touched to let the writer know HOW much I felt their words.  It would be too raw for me.  I wonder if others feel the same.  Just knowing that "I am not alone" feels good.<BR>
  For the record:<BR>
Sati, I adored <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2001.09.24.16.02.11881">Secrets</a> .  <BR>
A flaw so pronounced with in me<BR>
I can not open my mouth<BR>
And simply ask for help ...Wow, that is real to me<BR>
<BR>
Tanqueray Cowboy, <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2001.09.24.15.10.12570">Illusion</a> is fabulous.   <BR>
Sometimes when I am feeling way too analytical I succomb to the notion that everything I know is my own illusion.  You hit the nail squarely on the head.  I also loved <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2001.09.23.16.41.6007">Astrophysical 101:  A Lecture on the Nature of the Attraction between Two Bodies</a> .<BR>
<BR>
Michael T, <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2001.09.24.03.57.17715">Ulysses</a> is a great image to hand us with this piece.  Your word-smithery is genius in this.  Very fun and clever to read.<BR>
<BR>
Stephen - well, you were on a roll this fine day.  I likes, I likes!<BR>
<BR>
And angieubaldo, I am a huge Sarah McLachlan fan.  That song is one of my faves!  "deep within I'm shaken by the violence of existing for only you"  Oh, that hurts me to read - it is so true for me. Your own work: <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2001.09.23.21.51.5725">visions</a> is quite wonderful as well.<BR>
<BR>
All for now, Rhetoric  Please excuse teh typos - I am very tired<BR>
