highwaymen01's Journal

More Thanks.
Before I ever got involved with Renaissance faire I was a turkey (still am really) and I would get drunk and run around being flirtacious (still am really). I would take pictures of people and things that caught my eye. Years ago Am and I were going through pictures I had taken over the years and she found one and asked me what in the picture had captured my interest. I looked at the photo of a crowd of people walking along. In the center of the photo was a girl not seeming to be with anyone just on her way somewhere. I looked closer and it was a picture of Am and 3 feet in front of her was her then Husband. The picture was taken years before I ever met her but she was utterly unavoidable and always the center of my attention.

I am thankful for memories like this one and for the fact that many of the people reading this, I would not have the great pleasure of calling my friends if not for her.

Thank you.

Thank You,
For taking my call after all of the time that passed when i didn't call. For thinking of me even if you did not know I was thinking of you. Thank you for braving this day with me even if you were not so inclined to in the first place. Thank you for sharing your experiences with me so that I might benefit from them as well, even if it is only to smile. Thank you for thinking outside your self but even more so for thinking of yourself. You are precious to me and so many others and the care you take in making sure you are whole mentally, physically and emotionally will ensure that tomorrow or the next day or whenever I see you again I can remind you that I adore you. I wish you could see yourself through my eyes because you are a gift and for the gift of your existence I am thankful, for the gift of your friendship I am grateful.

Love to you and yours on this coming day of ThanksGiving, be well and with luck I will see you soon.

Sensitivity
So you can feel a toe a finger an arm a leg,
These things have an external sensation to remind you they are there
Can you feel the blood flowing through your veins?
Can you feel the air filling your lungs to their capacity?
Can you feel your brain and the impulses that hop from cell to cell
I want to feel these things. I want to feel life coursing through me
I want to feel the way oxygen gets passed from my lungs to my blood
I want to feel consciousness flood into my brain as I open my eyes
I want to feel the impulse to my muscles as I tell them to go forth
Most of all I want to feel my heart when it is filled with love
The way it feels when you say to someone
I have loved you since the first day I laid eyes on you
And mean it.

Gratitude
I am grateful for tow truck drivers and cell phones. Playing scrabble on the side of the road and laughter for no reason. I hope everyone is having a beautiful day.

Amused
If you know why this is funny then laugh with me.

"The real secret of magic is that the world is made of words," said the sage Terence McKenna, "and that if you know the words that the world is made of, you can make of it whatever you wish." I'd go even further and say that you can actually shape your world through your use of language. Do you really want to live amidst infertile chaos where nothing makes sense and no one really loves anyone? Then speak with unconscious carelessness, expressing yourself lazily. Or would you prefer to live in a realm that's rich with meaning and beauty and interesting mystery? Then be discerning and creative in how you speak, primed to name the novel truths that are always being born right in front of your eyes. Of course you always have the power to create heaven or hell through the words you choose, Pisces, but right now is a potential turning point when you could form good new habits.

On this day, not so long ago, he came forth. He who we call by many names but herein best known as

hellsjester

I like this

The Text is
"All my offerings of beauty are little more than decoration
If through them my demons are not set free."

not exactly the model of grace

But its a start.

Do these pants make me look fat ;)

From a dream
I give to you this handcrafted life, it was made for you and no other like it exists in all the world. It may seem like the color does not fit you but give it time. It may seem like it does not fit oft times too loose or too tight but again give it time. If you take the time to break it in I guarantee you that nothing else in this world will be more satisfying. Take it with you on trips to see things first hand that you can only dream, even those things you can't imagine. Be lazy with and take it to the very brink of failure. Fill it with emotion and satisfaction. hIt will not last forever so please make the most of it. Feel free to share it with others as it thrives on contact. I could have gotten you that relly keen something or other but this is something only you could pulll off and to be honest I want to see how you do it.

Which Tarot card am I?

You are The Devil

Materiality. Material Force. Material temptation; sometimes obsession

The Devil is often a great card for business success; hard work and ambition.

Perhaps the most misunderstood of all the major arcana, the Devil is not really "Satan" at all, but Pan the half-goat nature god and/or Dionysius. These are gods of pleasure and abandon, of wild behavior and unbridled desires. This is a card about ambitions; it is also synonymous with temptation and addiction. On the flip side, however, the card can be a warning to someone who is too restrained, someone who never allows themselves to get passionate or messy or wild - or ambitious. This, too, is a form of enslavement. As a person, the Devil can stand for a man of money or erotic power, aggressive, controlling, or just persuasive. This is not to say a bad man, but certainly a powerful man who is hard to resist. The important thing is to remember that any chain is freely worn. In most cases, you are enslaved only because you allow it.

Valentines Day
I am not going to be sitting home this Thursday bemoaning anything, I am going to Fondue Fred's for some entertaining fair. I do however need a date, anyone near here (oakland) remotely single (not that this really matters) and care for some good food and company?

old haunts
Walking down familiar streets I become reminded of moments long gone. I hear the faded whispers of of promises long forgotten. I here words plain spoken in tongues that seem so foreign. People packed together spinning down the drain. Swimming upstream against the river only to come to a bend to put me back where I started. I am passed from hand to hand, lips to cheek and arm in arm til I am dizzy and losing myself in the mix. I am remember seeking cover under the tree in arms filled with want. The stars steady and the lights flickering as I wane from bliss to exhaustion and back again. I used to count moments, then days now I ponder the loss of years. I go from sleep walking to the walking dead then startled awake and repeat. I remember longing and long to forget.

Happy!!
Happy Birthday snowwhite38!!!

interesting
What do you use to banish the feeling of isolationism?

What is the most common human characteristic fear or laziness?

If you have never seen the movie waking life, you should. I have seen a few times but besides that I have listened to it a dozen times. On that note I need some tips on ripping a dvd, but just the audio no video.

LOVE to all.

hmmm lemme see.
So I have bi-weekly one on ones with my boss, mostly because I am a whiny bitch but also because I bring great value to the team and she wants to make sure I am happy. Well today she tells me that they are working on a project to roll out the phones to AMEA (still not clear what countries this entails) and she threw my name in the hat. I told her that would be fine and that my passport is ready to go. I think I will be one the road again soon which suits me just fine. Where is that frequent flyer card?

remembering
I remember love in it's infancy, before I truly understood commitment, sacrifice and loss. I saw her face again and it reminded me of inspiration like water never ending never stopping. Flowing in around, over and through. It is the creativity that god would have when creating such a magnificent being as she. It makes you write not with purpose or intent but with love conveying all things within the realm of beauty and magic. It is the dream and the waking the fact that the two are joined for such beauty as this atttempted by poeets and writers throughout the ages to describe shames, no humbles the spirit. It is as joyce writes the penultimate to hold it not to possess. My spirit is the pete buried beneath the earth smoldering forevermore, but the air has returned to me and a new burning has commenced. Yours mine and ours is a tomorrow filled with adventure delight and inspiration. Thank you oh goddess of yesterday for showing me why tomorrow is beautiful.

Remember
As I went to wish entitymel a very happy birthday, I was reminded that today an event occured that changed my life forever. 38 years ago today Amethyst Marcel Mariani was born. She was 3 month premature but she recovered from that because noone could ever describe her as weak. She was a force of nature and I will celebrate this day always. Thanks you Rose.

You are The Devil
