The simple thoughts


 Man bashing
 

Hello to all today:

Okay here we go...diving into one of the great mysteries of all time. Why are we here? NO! What happened to the dinosaurs? NO! Is there a great divine being? NO! Why is the sky blue? NO!...OK I think you get the point. The question I pose is why the HELL can't a man do one little tiny task.

Background:
Last night I made the comment...hey we need a new coffee table.

More Background:
Boyfriend broke last coffee table...because he lost at a NCAA football game!

Prior Background:
So I tell boyfriend and friend {Mex} that tomorrow {which is now today} it would be great if they would TOGETHER go and pick up a coffee table while I was away at school.

Both agree in unison that my wishes will be obeyed. I call boyfriend today around 2pm and Mex still isn't awake and boyfriend is playing a game on the computer. So I say GO AND WAKE MEX UP AND GO GET THE COFFEE TABLE...PLEASE. To which he says he will!

Two hours later:
Boyfriend calls while he is at the store and asks if this certain coffee table is okay. Now mind you we do NOT have camera phones so he is sending the picture through osmosis! Since I am not in tune with my inner spirit...I haven't tapped into the inner depths of my brain like he has I state I can't see the table, so as long is the damn thing fits into my specifications that were written down last night it will be fine.

My specifications:
1......The table needs to be SQUARE.
2......The table needs to be made out wood.
3......The table needs to be small but convenient.
4......The table needs to be dark or black.
5......There is to be NO glass in the table.

These are the questions that arose last night from my specifications.
1......Can there be drawers?
..........I don't care either way!
2......Does the top need to be flat or can there be edges?
..........I don't care either way!

Present:
Boyfriend and Mex have gone to ONE store and looked at ONE table. Then as they called me again for the FOURTH time asking for info I exploded.

"If you like the damn table and it meets my five specifications then please by all means buy the damn thing! If for some reason the table meets all five points and you do not like it then leave it alone."

It took two men 3 hours to get ready and look at one table. Then they didn't even get the damn thing....they went to drop off the truck and grab something to eat.

Needless to say I will be looking for a coffee table tomorrow by my lonesome self. It may be better that way...actually I'm worried about when they walk in the door.

Now I must go finish straightening my hair, read my German note cards, prepare my next speech, iron my clothes for the game tonight, all while explaining to boyfriend why dirty clothes go in a hamper....Not on the floor.

Thanks for stopping by:

 The Hidden Poem
 



Sitting on wet grass
Bugs zip past my ore
...with wings a thousand times too small
My mind traces back to
...dandelions tangled in golden hair
...young smiles with missing teeth
Bumblebees fight for the pollen from a single white rose
The rose of death
The fallen of the two
...departs to the others
...lies with the dead
...lands in the sweet taste of Satan's juices.
God looks down
...sadly states the loss to the followers
...each animal
...each flower
...each sand grain
...each fallen leaf
......they all carry a name
It shows how insignificant we all must seem
...when viewed upon by the highest of the high
Mother nature
...blesses us with the seeds of her groin
Father time
...destroys us with his hand
...balanced and strong
...holds unto our soul
We remember
...all those things
...waiting a lifetime to forget
We are placed on a balance
...only to see who will falter first
We look around
...only noticing those people
...wishing for things we don't have
We envy
...with no cause
We regret
...until we tear at ourselves
We are
...hungry for the knowledge it seems no one posses
Love will be our
...highest desire
...only flaw
We will become
...trapped inside a maze with no rights
...a statistic in another age
Our life
...is so others will understand those things they need not know
We will die
...together
...somehow apart
We will
...cry at the same innocence
...follow in honest, blind footsteps
...have no choice but to hover in the dreams of others

These will be our days and we will never understand why

 Update
 

Hello to all today:

Okay this is just to tell you that I have closed the Hidden Simple Thoughts...it was just too much work. You guys all know I have issues with commitment and the fact I write on one blog close to everyday is a HUGE undertaking.

So I decided to keep blogging the way I was. I know that I have some poetry friends, and some political friends, and some friends who are neither. But I am both of those things....political and thoughtful, and some days I don't want to be either.

This blog is about me and one day I may write a poem and one day I may piss you all off with my politics...but its me.

I hope you guys don't find this rude. But from one who only knows 'simple thoughts' two blogs or three blogs is just too much for me. I will post the poem I had on the other site because I really liked the poem.

Thanks for stopping by:

 New Icon Help Wanted
 

Hello to all today:

Thank you all for your comments on the house issue...alot of great ideas. Well I'm much calmer today! Cleaned up yesterday. Most people clean their house (or apartment) I decided to clean out my computer. It was an all day adventure!

Today I need some more help. I'm trying to decide which picture I should have for my icon. I went surfing yesterday and found some really cool pics. I just don't know which one I like the best, so I'm taking a poll. Comments welcomed!

#1

I really like this pic. I think she's an angel...I'm not really sure.

#2

This is really cool too. I like the contrast.

#3

This is probably my favorite. The only reason I haven't chosen this one is because boyfriend didn't like it....He has no taste!

#4

Okay so this is boyfriends favorite. I love unicorns...I have four pics of them now! This one represents strength I think. It's still cool, but I don't know about the icon thing.

Okay so what do you guys think? There are other pics if you don't like any of these...or you could just say none of the above! That's okay too...maybe I need to keep looking!

Thanks for your help...also I made a new blog site for poetry...it's called hidden simple thoughts...I was hiding, but scratchy boy found me...so I thought I would mention it if anyone else is interested.

Thanks for stopping by:
