As I put out my cigarette, my eyes fix upon the layers of smoke resting visibly in front of the window. The air is perfectly still. The room is perfectly still. Even the view from the window itself is something more of a portrait, a snapshot reminder of a happier time. Closing my eyes, I recognize the signs of life around me. In the distance I hear the surreal soundtrack of neighbor children...

  The older I get, the more I wonder at the fact that on 'B' day, I feel no different than I did the day before.  It is a day like any other except that conversations with Maman, on that day, always begins with a 'thanks for pushing my melon head through the garden hose, Maman.'  This year, I added, '...and the world thanks you, too.'  heheh She laughs.  Not...

  Who am I inside? I can’t seem to figure it out It’s gonna take sometime to discover In my mind there is not a doubt I wanna be this And I wanna be that But I feel like my voice isn’t being heard And that my opinion doesn’t mean crap Every time I try to do something I’m always being shot down All the doors are closing And there is...

I wish I could tell you happy birthday in person. You'd have been 63 today. I really screwed things up this time, didn't I? All my life I've been letting you down, too many times to count and in ways that you'd never imagined, but this time when I let you down, I lost you. I'd take it all back, if I could. Be the daughter I should've been all along. I'd make you so proud of me, but as things...

Hello, I'm Sarah (AKA Reel Monkey) and I wanted to host something that could help brighten up not only my day, but the days of others as well. I already knew that OD had all sorts of weekly and monthly challenges to do and book groups and movie groups and all that stuff. But I wanted something spontanious and more than just once a week or once a year. And that is how I...

 The last Kennedy brother has died.   He was never expected to be the greatest of them.  He was the young, irresponsible, partying one, who did what he had to for the family tradition, but was more interested in fun than anything serious.

I’ve met this guy Adrian, and … and he has every bad habit I normally hate about guys, but it doesn’t push me away from him. Which is damn strange. There’s some chemistry going on between us, but I know myself… and if we were to stop seeing each other, then in a week or two, maybe actually even a month I would forget about him… I mean the feeling that I...
