Punk Rock Mom!

You're a punk rock mommy! DIY is probably your
motto, because you're a punk mama at heart.
Your kids are getting your independent spirit
and guts, and learning to solve problems
themselves. You love it when they show their
independence, even when it's breaking your
heart.

Summer Nights

There really are few things in life more ephemeral and sensuous than a hot summer night. Ok, now I'm thinking of dozens of things, childhood, love. But this is more tangible, and recurring. So even though I spend a moment of each hot night mourning that it's not going to last, at least I don't have to come to terms that it'll never come to pass again. But delicious - driving at night with all the windows down, wind whipping my hair and kissing my neck. Deep bass of reggae guides me to and past my apartment. No one will notice if I steal another few minutes of this, so I turned onto a street I'd never been down and kept driving til I got lost and found again.

I spend the whole year waiting for this. The traditions, the watermellon juice pouring down my arms, dripping off my chin. Night walks by myself to drink in the smells. Bare feet. But every year, there's something definably new and never expected. I find more of myself every day, but in the summer it's more apparent. Trying to remember the exact way my body looks so next year, in the same bikini, I'll know how much I changed, will be able to track myself getting older. Finding new confidence, confidants, talents and passions. There's something on this warm, dark breeze that churns my thoughts into this beautiful melanchaly.

Well, beautiful to me any way, and impossible for me to accurately describe. To make up for this sappy drivel, go here.

And another dumb quiz:

You are the Sun card. The light of the Sun reveals
all. The Sun is joyful and bright, without fear
or reservation. The childish nature of the Sun
allows you to play and feel free. Exploration
can truly take place in the light of day when
nothing is hidden. The Sun's rays fill you with
energy so that you may live life to its
fullest, milking pleasure out of each day. Such
joy and energy can bring wealth and physical
pleasure. To shine in the light of day is to
have confidence, to soak up its rays is to feel
the freedom of a child. Image from: Stevee

pps. oh and this: Free and Healing for Seven Days, 23 Hours and 40 Minutes, while extending my life expectancy 13 Hours, by avoiding the use of 160 nicotine delivery devices that would have cost me $26.36. It's getting pretty redundant, so now that i'm over the major hurdle, i think i'll only post the big landmarks.

Captain's Blog, Day One

this blog stuff is really fun. Hoodeehoo!! I did a bunch of stuff on here today, but first I ramble.

Tonight was great because both my boys were in bed asleep before 8:30, so I've gotten a RARE evening to myself tonight (and of course spent all of it trying to get everything here just-so). Adam got an anthrax shot on monday and has been...off...ever since. like can't lift his arm, staring at walls off. i think he gets to see a doc tomorrow. definitely not like him to pass out before midnight, especially not when it's my turn to put jeremy to sleep.

I'm feeling kinda sick, too. Today was my lame attempt at a detox day in preparation for my quit-day tomorrow. I did really well this morning...went for a long walk, did some yoga, drank a ton of green tea and even some wheat grass shit. but by this afternoon when jeremy was FREAKING, i smoked just to avoid his wrath. ah well, it's not so much today as tomorrow i have to worry about. i might be writing a lot of nonsense here tomorrow while i avoid smoking.

This week has flown by, like always. Got a lot done, though...i'll post pix of my new magnets when i get a chance. This weekend's going to be crazy. tomorrow it's december nights in balboa park, so i'm heading down there with erwin to meet up with james and some'a his friends. probably drinking to follow. this weekend i need to get ALL my reading/homework done for astronomy AND write my speech for my comm class. my research for the speech (why george w bush is the devil) is coming along really well (pretty easy to find resources, imagine that!)...i'm sure i'll have some interesting links to share as i get further into it. I really also need to get started packing for our move. my inlaws will be here next friday and we move the wednesday after that, so i'd really like it to be half done and easier for everyone, considering the great timing of moving during finals week and a week before xmas.

I'm thinking that i can't do any HTML formatting unless i upgrade my account here, so i'll just have to deal with the bare-bones style until i figure some way, either techie or monetary, out of it.

Ok. i'm braindead. screw writing. Here's links to everything i did today:

Click here to see the photo album i started to make of my 2 1/2 year old son, Jeremy.

Here is an album i started to make of my adventures at Tom Giblin's late October, this really cool Irish pub in Carlsbad. They have a whiskey menu...what more can i say? Thanks to Erwin for all the photos and thanks to me for my crappy scanning job.

Click here to see the photos from Karaoke night at Longboards in PB last October. Thanks, again, to Kanins for the photos.

Open in new window to hear Edwyn Collins - A Girl Like You...i've had it stuck in my head all day.

Or this, if you'd rather hear Spoon's Take the Fifth (open in new window. one day, you'll get the hang of this)

when the site is working, i'm addicted to Quizilla.

You are naturally born with a gift, whether it be
poetry, writing or song. You love beauty and
creativity, and usually are highly intelligent.
Others view you as mysterious and dreamy, yet
also bold since you hold firm in your beliefs.
