She needs to make my blog better by becoming a contributor! (kidding, JLou would be a blogosphere star within days).

I’m just proud to have some of her unpublished works……For real though JLou, whether you know it or not, I learned some good things from you

Time wears on and uncertainty sets in, but somehow dreams thrive and keep us moving whether we actively pursue them or not. They are the inner lining of who and why we are.

I don’t know what my dreams are, as I have yet to nail them done and get a good look at them.

I really enjoy when you reminisce about your youth and childhood aspirations..it’s quite the treat.

Your dream? It appears to be within your reach, go for it!

You have talent my friend, something I always knew.

I think I must’ve been inspired by Harmony’s recent essay on death.

SM–you are very kind, and correct. My posts are too long for a blog, but its what I do. I also agree with you on the politics. I hesitate to make the blog completely politics-free, but you will see less and less of it from me at least for the foreseeable future. And when I see a long post on someone else’s blog, I feel the same way you do. But don’t skip today’s long post, it’s pretty funny.

Tiny D, what can I say but “well put.” Also, welcome to the TBU and please continue to add your two cents.

Zeek and Fish, thanks. Y’all or anybody is welcome to a spot on the front page if you ever want to send me an essay–you don’t even have to use your real fake name if you don’t want to.

Calico–truth and a zinger, nicely done.

JLM, I knew you’d be willing to throw some self reflection out there. You are a fearless broad.

TDW, keep reading these epistles. You’ll be sleeping soundly again in no time.

I loved hanging out there watching J. Ben count pills until he passed on. Then I went to Chemistry class in 11th grade and found out I lacked the skills mathematically to make that dream come true. Sometime in the last few years I found my high school apptitude test that suggested the medical field but also told me if all else failed I would be great with farm equipment – lovely. As it turned out, after Katrina I drove a tractor alot and was not half bad at it either!

As for the writing dream – I’ve been a poet since I was in elementary school – some of it very dark and alot of it sarcastic. I still get random calls from people to write for different events – birthdays, christmas gifts, etc. I’ve also written other forms which can only be described as adult entertainment. I’ve helped spice up many a relationship so perhaps that makes me a counselor of sorts. Could I ever get paid to do this? Nah, just pocket change here and there and that is fine too.

My fantasy dream would be to sing well and to have the gumption to get up in front of others and sing loudly without being nervous. IR has this ability – If I can’t do it at least I’ve passed the gene on to someone I love.
