i'm just him, about When they tell Our Story:
It's a sweet sentiment, but the tense changes and object switches throw me... my editor would have a serious hissy if I ever showed her something like this.
Posted an edit to the piece, because I really did love the sentiment and the flow of his words...
kirk: what an awesome surprise!! not only do we have the new edition but i see my name on it! woohoo! thanks for the pick kirk.
congrats to everyone on front page!
welcome to the new faces!
briana: the way that ijh writes is a large part of his charm. maybe a part of his particular artistic liberties??
ijh... yes dear, where are you?? we miss you very much!
savanah: hugemongous tight squeezy hugs to you, love. please heed the advise for counseling. couples would be best, but sensing he won't go, at least go yourself. not wanting to stir the pot here, but, you are being abused in the form of neglect. it will not change and you are looking at your future if you don't do something about it for YOU... either come to an acceptance and learn to not expect more, or the other alternative you are not ready to face yet. been there, done all this, hurting for you.
harem: you've just made me smile large! life after 40. wow. in my mind you were a very much younger lady... late 20's? early 30's?? i am loving this HOOVER - EUREKA - OR THE DIRT DEVIL
Briana; The magic that is I'm Just Him is in the style and words just the way he wrote them. Without them the poem is ordinary and not classy...in his very own unique perspective of poetry.
I stretch words and make them up and play with them in any direction (so do a lot of others around here) I guess I always get pissed at editors tasks haaa.
We know you meant well just the same.

To Savannah,
I have been married 4 times
and the only regret that I have
in my life is that I spent too
much of my life with the wrong
men. It's like buyinng a piece
of clothing that really doesn't
fit - but you won't bring it back,
or get a different one. So you
struggle with the discomfort of
it being either too tight or
so damn big - that you look like
a lost blob in it.
The rack is full of other better
fitting clothing - but I was so
busy trying to alter this one -
and force it to fit and look good,
until one day, I realized - I was
wasting my time.
When the fit is right and the
chemistry is good - the passion
never dies - but only gets
stronger with time. I know.
I've been there and done that>
This time I did it right.
I quickly dumped all the wrong fits,
and held out until I found a perfect
fit.
As a woman, you should know that
clothes shopping can be fun.
And a good fit - makes you look and
feel like "magic".
Happy Shopping.

Harem; you could almost make a poem outta that...Amen..to what you just said.

To Aparajita,
well maybe I write the way I feel.
I'm still 29 and holding -
and I am enjoying life more and more very day - So it only gets better with time - everything does - Stay light keep breezy - feel free and be yourself. That's the trick. Never give up...... I've got more zing and sting now than ever.
And even when I'm ready to go - I'll smolder away with a smooth and zaney "POP". poof and I'm gone.
LOL
