What is on your mind?

24 Feb 2015

I'm just thinking that I've had quite a gay day. Not just in terms of being happy, but also the other way. Not me, personally, but I went to my friends house, drank some beer, had a laugh and watched Queer as Folk. Then watched The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. Great film, funny and poignant all at the same time. I'm also happy because, well, I have friends and I also have my Kitten. The little things matter. Having a beer, a giggle and a laugh with my friend always makes me see that and makes me happy to be alive. Having Aria? That's the icing on the cupcake. I just want to hug her right now.

Many people will walk in and out of your life; only true friends will leave footprints in your heart.

Yes, you do.

Just because.

Bummer! I want to score and comment on LarryFNigh's work, because I really like it, but for some reason, I can't.

I am so glad I could help get this taken care of. I feel almost useful for a change. It has been a while since I felt useful.

You can't get there from here, because when you get there you're still here and here is now there.

Thanks again Roland. I owe you one.

Right, so I write a poem, designed to make people cry. What happens? The buggers laugh. Why? Do you not get that there's a poignancy to death, and to the poem? The man is in the ground for goodness sake! Yeah, it's absurd, but that doesn't mean that absurd can't be poignant. I do write absurd and silly things, but not all the time. Sometimes I am being serious, and I'd really like people to stop trying to fit me into a genre. I'm not funny. Not intentionally. Sometimes my poems and stories take a bit of interpretation, so maybe bear that in mind next time you read something of mine.

I am really sorry Andrew, but the smile it gave me, wasn't because of what you said with that poem, because I did take that seriously. Still, I can't help enjoying the way you describe even the most serious things, hence the smile.

Well, perhaps I misconstrued your comment. Sorry about that.

Hey Shotgun011, if you ask someone a question, it's rather rude to block him. That makes it hard to answer the question, but it's the Big or the Mighty Deuce. You also denied me the chance to apologize for my mistake, because you were right. I did calculate the age of the ship wrong, she was launched in '74, and 2007 minus 1974 isn't 43 but 33. But since when is a calculation error a reason to block someone? I scored your story a five, can't you handle a little criticism?

If one mistake is all it takes to be blocked by you, you won't last very long, I'm afraid, because we're all only human here. But know I've returned the favor.

Your soul / spirit makes you pretty each and every day regardless of how you might be dressed, etc. In fact, you are beyond "pretty" ... you are beautiful to your friends and acquaintances.

Hey Paul.. in all of my years online I've never blocked anyone.. how someone else acts doesn't control how I act.. IMHO it is just a precedent I never wanted to set.. besides it appears that his collection of avatars is entirely gender based so you don't stand a chance.. lol..

Hey Larry,
I'm not opting for a spot on his list, but I do like to be treated fair. People make mistakes, that's only natural. But people that obviously can't deal with that and deny another the chance to rectify his mistakes, are the kind I don't need scoring and commenting my stuff,even if I like their work.

I sure wish more people were less thin skinned.

A friend of mine was speaking to me about dog's bollocks. A person neither of us knew stopped as they were passing us. They got upset at our profane language in public. I explained what we were talking about (cheat plug here; read my latest story to find out about dog's bollocks) and they seemed to calm down. I then said "What does it matter, are you the language police?" They began yelling and screaming and I just stood there astonished at the response. My silence seemed to only upset them more. They were red in the face, spittle in the corners of their mouth, and veins almost visibly throbbing mad. I tried to calm them down, be deferential, and apologize, but to no avail. Everything I did seemed to wind them up more. I was not really mad, just embarrassed as everyone was watching in the imminent area. There was only two possible things left for me to do. I could have left, but that is not my style. So I started screwing with their mind. Making little faces, smiling at them, and I even yawned. I thought their head was going to explode. I was a bad boy. Just too thin skinned by far. If they had been a little less thin skinned (not to mention nosey), they would not have been upset and look foolish; and I would not have wound up looking childish. (but honestly is was a bit of fun)

You can't get there from here, because when you get there you're still here and here is now there.

People aren't just too thin skinned these days, they are also far too quick to poke their noses into things that are none of their business, but then, you already know my opinion on that! I would have loved to see you pulling faces and yawning at the person.

I was one of the only two people, or rather, 'the buggers', who took the time to comment on your poem. The fact that you write absurd and silly things had absolutely nothing to do with my interpretation of this piece, and right now,the only genre I would place you in would be that of egotistical. Yes, there is a poignancy to death, and if poignant was what you were hoping to achieve, then perhaps wording it differently would have had the desired effect.
As Joss Whedon, (American screenwriter, film and television director and producer, comic book author, composer and actor) says... “All worthy work is open to interpretations the author did not intend. Art isn't your pet -- it's your kid. It grows up and talks back to you.”

I shan't apologise for apparently 'misinterpreting' your poem . I enjoyed reading it, I wouldn't have bothered to comment, had I not, and yes, I did find it humorous, and a little morbid, and it appealed to my rather dark sense of humour. And, to quote part of your comment on your profile.. "It is NOT humorous, and if you misinterpret it, I will tell you as much, and I WILL USE CAPITALS TO DO SO." May I suggest you get off your High Horse and be appreciative that 'the buggers' took the time to read and acknowledge you work and that I hope to read more of it.

despite not being fully awake yet and needing coffee, I'm good.

I have a brand new amazing tablet that I LOOOVE.

And a new special friend I've talked to on the cell phone already. I miss you, by the way.
