I haven't got a single thought; I know at the end of such a newsworthy week as this was supposed to be, if I believed the frantic anchor heads telling me all sort of neatly woven polished lies, tinted with half truths, spun into a shimmer of what barely holds a glimmer of reality for an old line research freak like me, then I ought to have at least a few cogent pithy comments, snide asides, insights into the plight of the modern humanoid trying to pick a path around scattered piles of bovine waste, but poli-social commentary doesn't suit my taste tonight; its been a week devoid of thought, of running to the grocery stores, of unexpected chores, of chauffeuring kids to libraries, and soccer games, by Friday they ought to feel lucky I recall their names, a work week of selling my soul right to the edge of whoredom, drowning in the boredom of the mindless pap that spews forth from my cable as if it's on a tap plunged into an endless keg of narcotic make believe, I could be sorry that I seem prone to relieve my angst by leaving it in puddles here, on these blue pages that have become so precious to my heart, since in part I get my biggest smiles from the works of many I hold dear, but I can't dredge up an ounce of guilt, I'll just pull this place up like a quilt around my chin, curl up in a ball, sip a single glass of Tennessee's finest, and seek my own fondest dream of all ...and that, I am not sad to say, remains a secret to my dying day. ©2004 by icebox |

icebox "I'll just pull this place up like a quilt around my chin, curl up in a ball, sip a single glass of Tennessee's finest, and seek my own fondest dream of all" I don't think you'll be alone, my friend. |

Don't we all look forward to our therapy room here?! Your words just flow like you're sitting there talking, making a pleasure always to read you (excluding your secret, of course)! ..jo |

Only the whiskey's different....Jim Beam's a Kentucky brew.... Otherwise it is the same for me, the feeling, the want and the dream -- one I well know, and know well. I read you loud and clear on this one. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

If I bring a glass and sit with you... will you share your fondest secret with me? Hugs~ ~The breeze that kissed you on the face, |
