if your friends are there then everything’s all right
Category Archives: luck
but of all these friends and lovers there is no one compares with you
though I know I’ll never lose affection
for people and things that went before
I know I’ll often stop and think about them
in my life I love you more
running. running and nothing more.
Plain ‘n simple, easy peasy post. I became a runner 6 months ago. I have plenty of thoughts on the subject, but for now, I wanna keep my lip-zipped … a kinder, gentler danistrulytheman being careful not crushing tender tippy-toes. I’ve become a regular peruser of blogposts, and I’ve learned SO much from so many (ok, actually, only a few), but lately I’ve become disillusioned with it all. Firstly, why do bloggers feel it’s their plagiarist-punk-ass right to steal use photos/shots/pics that aren’t theirs? It’s blatant too, purposely borrowing eye-catching visuals, along with their cutesy captions, hoping to suck you in … but, as quickly as I see it, I just as quickly tune out. Bloggers with agendas – ain’t nothing new to me, I get it … but RUNNING bloggers? You mean even THAT’S not exempt? How low can you mofos go … shit’s blasphemous!
“Unlike you, I don’t write things to get a desired effect.” – dash ess
“I’m angry …”
“I was so pissed off …”
“I wasn’t impressed …”
“… and I hate it.”
===================================================================
hate, anger, pissed off … eagerly awaking to dish this shit out? WHYYYYY?!?!
You DO write things to get a desired effect, dash ess!! And, boy – you sure did!!!!
chicken noodle soup – in a pinch!
… emphasis on noodles! Feeling sick, under the weather, whipped this up without stopping at the grocery store. Had all I needed at home. Those are Hungarian egg noodles (sorry, no pic) from Starsky Fine Foods, they’re thin and short – like needles, when dry, but as you can see, really plump and sop up broth when cooked. Speaking of broth, that’s organic chicken broth I had in the pantry, PLUS I had organic baby kale in the fridge so I tossed that in as well. I like finishing with grated cheese (Romano Lupa), and hot sauce, today I went with good ole Tabasco. A few pics y’all!
lookie my new Lowe’s credit card!!
… arrived in the mail today! Been spending up a storm with my temporary card, buying a shitload of shit, scoring great deals along the way, AND getting 10% off (or more) all purchases. Have I told y’all (recently, lol) how much I LOVE Lowe’s … looks like they love me back too … card says, Preferred Customer … 😉
don’t arrange to have me sent to no asylum
I’m just as sane as anyone
it’s just a game I play for fun – for fun
well I’ve been living next to you my friend
but what kind of friend are you?
oh is it the beginning or the sorry end?
will I ever see it through?
now I’ve never been insane
oh what’s the game? Yeah I believe I’m dying
and don’t arrange to have me sent to no asylum
well it’s only a game I’m playing for fun
yeah I’ve been trying to fool everyone
“you know what happens to nice people? nice things!” – danistrulytheman
… it pays to be nice! be nice!
Valhalla, I am coming!
So now you’d better stop and rebuild all your ruins
For peace and trust can win the day despite all your losing
blogging’s a bitch!
roof rack & rope!
09/11/1999
Nov. 9, 1999! I’ll never forget it! My sweet little Lily came into my life! Sadly, she left it too soon. It was then I realized … Lily’s the only hope/reason I have for heaven’s existence … and I ain’t fucking joking! As I said before, if it does exist, and when my time comes … I’ll be barreling through, pushing ALL family members aside who went before, wanting to greet me, looking for her, wanting to snatch her in my arms letting her plant those doxie-lapping-kisses all over my mug like she always did! Speaking of heaven – afterlife … November 9th is also the day one of greatest geniuses of this place we call EARTH was born … Carl Sagan! And I leave you (along with a pic of my Lily) with one of his many great quotes, and this one in particular, pertaining to heaven/afterlife!
“It is far better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring” – Carl Sagan

“inefficiencies aggravate me” – danistrulytheman
… honestly, should read “inefficiencies aggravate the fuck outta me” … toned it down. Looks like a kinder, gentler danistrulytheman rules this blogroost of late. Maybe that’s a good thing. Seriously, you’ve been doing this, repetitively on a basis for who knows how long? Yet it takes me a mere 2 seconds to see its failings and shortcomings and setting you straight? Get your shit together lady!! Btw, thanks for the extra hot sauce. I’m assuming it’s an apologetic attempt, making things right ‘tween you and I … seeing how I was painfully and sufferingly left waiting, ‘nstead of being well on my merry way. Apology accepted … extra hot sauce too!! 😉
I once had a friend
They found her in a car
A hose to the window
And the motor running hot
Seems she couldn’t take it
The rhetoric of life
Someone found her naked
With a note right by her side
By her side oh by her side
She can’t take it back
Neither can I
No neither can I
Mommy and daddy I’ve borrowed the car to sleep on the floor
I’m sorry so much for bringing my own living hell to your door
Thanks for all the flowers at the ringside seat
Thanks for nothing everyone the prayers were too weak
This is the way it happens all the time
Can you pay attention to everyone that cries
Remember you can make it through
And make it new
Only if you try
You better try
Cause you can’t take it back
Neither can I
No neither can I
Mommy and daddy I’ve borrowed the car to sleep on the floor
I’m sorry so much for bringing my own living hell to your door
But things had gotten heavy everything was deep
Nothing really mattered
So I just went to sleep
I just went to sleep
And I can’t take it back
I won’t try
I won’t try
I won’t try
I won’t try
I won’t try
Toronto is a laughingstock!
Today, Councillor Doug Ford assured me, his bro Mayor Rob Ford will TRY curbing his drinking! WHEW! Oh good, NOW my mind’s at ease.
I’m just guessing, but something tells me Dougie’s laden with doubt himself, seems to be hedging his bets? We all know what they say ’bout trying … “if at first you don’t succeed …”
I Love Falling Back!!
I’d love it if we could fall back ever day! Every day, we’d wake up with an extra hour … life would be sweet! 😀
crisscrossed lines!
… if that ain’t life’s ultimate metaphor, I don’t know what is. Beautiful iPhone pic taken while stopped at a traffic light on a bleak autumn November day! You can see the sun willing itself to peek through the heavy cloud cover, silhouetting the plane, as it passes preparing to land. Hmmm, can this shot win some sorta iPhone pic snappin’ award, lol?!
We’re a broken people living under loaded gun
And it can’t be outfought
It can’t be outdone
It can’t be outmatched
It can’t be outrun
No
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go
God bless us everyone
the hole in the wall gang!
Re: today’s smashing drywall reno post. It just 20/20 hindsight dawned on me, lol! ❓
Forty Six & 2
I choose to live and to
Lie, kill and give and to
Die, learn and love and to
Do what it takes to step through
