Star of David, StarGazer..thanks for all the kind words. Sometimes poetry is all that we have in the madness known as life.  Where is everyone from?  I've been reading a lot of others poetry lately, and i want to say that i especially like the depressing stuff about lost loves..how do you all do it?  Actually..we didn't DATE the same person..LOL&gt;.but I fell for someone that wasn't a good person..what a shame that to be a nice person in this day in age is so taken advantage of.  I'm trying to be a new person, because the old one has hurt so many people, plus i'm trying to reunite with my guy..so any tips you'all have would be appreciated:)

Drew1977, I try to do the new Blender Digest by the end of the first weekend of each month. 'Course this month started on a Sunday...(which, apropos of nothing, means we'll have a Friday the 13th coming up). Some months with split weekends like that I'll try to get it done by the 2nd or so, but this month I was at my high school reunion so I decided to put it off. Look for it by Sunday evening.

I thought of one minor improvement that I should look to make, to the front page...the navigation that's there is a pain in the butt if you just want to browse backwards or forwards through months, I should try to figure out a method of having prev month/next month links.

Kirk~  I think it would be great if you tweaked the survey thing a little so I don't click on "add message" every time I want to answer the survey.  You think I would learn, but I don't. :-P Just my three cents. Keep up the great work. Meanwhile I am in suspense of yet another wonderful blender digest!

Hey guys I just wanted to tell all of you the good news. Yesterday I asked my girlfriend to marry me and she said yes! It was sort of out of the blue because I had just bought the ring a few days ago and I decided at the last minute to ask her. I wanted to save it for Christmas or at New Years Eve, but I just couldn't wait. Of course we aren't going to get married any time soon, we still need to finish college and make tons of money lol. Anyway I think I'm rambling so I'll stop now.<BR>
<BR>
I'm engaged!!!<BR>
<BR>
Take care and all that wifey stuff.<BR>

Fucked up..although a really brash and harsh, crude title it made me feel so good to write about. i had this huge crush from 6th grade on..and it took me years to get over it, because for some wierd reason..we were both hooked on each other. But what they say, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

Jon- ummm, congratulations, and good idea about the long engagement thing. and unless it is already to late, my best advice for you two, is wait and spend lots of time enjoying each other before you bring a baby into your lives.<BR>
Lots of love and happiness to you both,<BR>

I definitely feel what I'm writing when I write it, even if I'm not living it at the moment.  If that makes sense.  I'm happy with my guy, but sometimes I can still feel so miserable, or desperate, or hopeless, even if only for a minute or two, and writing about it kind of gets it out of my system.  But then sometimes I'll be inspired by a song, or a character, and write something based on that.  <BR>
Your work lately hahs been very emotional, it sounds like you are working through a lot of things.  I hope it gets better for you,and soon!

Jon ~ I didn't even know you were serious about one certain person so I was quite shocked at your news! But so happy for you. I think it's wonderful to have found your mate in collage. It took me until I was 30! Ha. Probably because I took 'Girls just want to have fun' to heart...or was it 'Wild Women Don't Get the Blues'??? I forget :-)

 You hit the nail on the head with Fucked Up.  You could have been writing about the last 6 years of my life.  The SOB that happens to be the sperm dorner for my child, (I call him that because he NEVER did or will earn the title of Daddy) made my life a complete and utter hell.  I finally got the strength and courage to leave his sorry ass on Valentine's day of this year and I thank God every day for the freedom I have when I open.  When I wrote My Vision is Clear, I was trying to get across the smae point you did with Fucked Up.  You put emotions into words so well that it brought tears to my eyes to think someone else suffered as I did.  I'm sorry for your pain and everyone else who has been through this same stuff.  I read your poem and stopped, brushed the dust off an old bottle of my Grandfather's wine, and drank a toast to you, a survivor, a strong woman who has vision, hope, and wisdom.  PLEASE stick with your convictions because life is wonderful without chains around your wrists and bruises on your face.  You and your words are beautiful and you touched me deeply.  SALUTE!!

I guess I have - not only when I have to for a good reason but also when there is no other choice or just for the hell of it when I was being stupid and you feel like shit afterwards but if you're really pig-headed, you still dont apologise and it's your own loss.<BR>
Whatever. DId that make sense?<BR>
