i dreamt i saw you walking
up a hillside in the snow
casting shadows on the winter sky
as you stood there counting crows
one for sorrow, two for joy,
three for girls, and four for boys,
five for silver, six for gold, and
seven for a secret never to be told

there's a bird that nests inside you
sleeping underneath your skin
when you open up your wings to speak
i wish you'd let me in

from "a murder of one" ~ counting crows
"i'll take totally shite holidays for a thousand, Alex!"

Why do we need a holiday specifically designed to make men frantic and single people miserable? This whole Valentine Day shit is pathetic. i can not remember ever having a good Valentines. i have asked others and there are stories of people who've had good Valentines. . . but it's always a 'friend of a friend' or something like that, mythical and elusive, never having actually been witnessed by anyone. i have been everything from single to married and they all get screwed somehow. The expectation of perfection is way too much pressure for this one day. Please, no matter what happens tomorrow, if you have a love there with you, just end the night by letting them know that you love them. You appreciate them and all they do, on a daily basis, to make you feel special. Please, don't loose track of that, ok?

As for me and mine . . . the normal Wednesday plans are preempted by Valentines and so Naomi will be doing the 'married' thing that night and i will likely be at home with Roni, making red food and watching a movie or something. What is red besides tomatoes? i really hate tomatoes. Desperately. NEXT Wednesday will be the monthly Texas D*Landers gathering night at Crystal's Pizza on 183 & McArthur! It's very simple to find and if you need directions, just e-mail either one of us and we'll send you to Yahoo Maps like the freak you'd have to be for not already KNOWING where it is as many times as we have told you. Yes, i am the epitome of charm and grace, so bite me. : )

Last night was calm and lazy. We waited for the water to be turned back on as they were doing some work in the building when we got home and then i made dinner, we ate and went back to doing a whole lotta nuthin'. i finished The Damnation Game by Clive Barker and read Roni her chapter from The Secret Garden and we went to sleep after my '100 Crunches and Other Tortures'.

i didn't want to wake up this morning. i think i am in the beginning stages of depression but i just don't really feel it yet. i want to eat and sleep and that's about it. Hhhmmmm . . . a great consolation was that the weather was so exceptional this morning! It was all dim and foggy with a slight chill in the air and a gentle breeze mixed with a damp drizzly effect. i loved it! It was so cool driving to work and the whole world was only the half-mile circle centered around me. Like a spotlight on a dark stage, there was a seething possibility of whatever surrounding the little spot i was in and it revealed its self slowly like a shy bride even as it swallowed where i'd been, following me with the patient distance of a P.I. Wow, i love words, one can do so much with them if you treat them kindly and caress them, revere them, and arrange them with precision! YAY! i'M A GEEK! Hehehe!


i really want to hear someone take
"And Then He Kissed Me" & "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?"
among other oldies and make them into dance hits.
maybe i'm just funny like that.
