  1. I will not take these things for granted

    February 27, 2008 by shishnit

    One part of me just wants to tell you everything
    One part just needs the quiet
    And if I’m lonely here, I’m lonely here
    And on the telephone
    You offer reassurance

    I will not take these things for granted

    How can I hold the part of me that only you can carry
    It needs a strength I haven’t found
    But if its frightening, Ill bear the cold
    And on the telephone
    You offer warm asylum

    I’m listening
    Flowers in the garden
    Laughter in the hall
    Children in the park
    I will not take these things for granted
    Anymore

    To crawl inside the wire and feel something near me
    To feel this accepting
    That it is lonely here, but not alone
    And on the telephone
    You offer visions dancing

    I’m listening
    Music in the bedroom
    Laughter in the hall
    Dive into the ocean
    Singing by the fire
    Running through the forest
    And standing in the wind
    In rolling canyons

    I will not take these things for granted

  2. movie quote

    February 27, 2008 by shishnit

    E. Edward Grey: [Mr. Grey is prescribing Lee's dinner] One scoop of creamed potatoes. A slice of butter. Four peas. And as much ice cream as you’d like to eat. 


  3. this grudge

    February 25, 2008 by shishnit

    Fourteen years
    Thirty minutes
    Fifteen seconds I’ve
    Held this grudge

    Eleven songs
    Four full journals
    Thoughts of punishment
    I’ve expended

    Not in contact
    Not a letter
    Such communication
    Telepathic
    You’ve been vilified
    Used as fodder
    You deserve a piece
    Of every record

    But who’s it hurting now?
    Who’s the one that’s stuck?
    Who’s it torturing now
    With an antique knot in her stomach?

    I want to be big and let go
    Of this grudge that’s grown old
    All this time I’ve not known
    How to rest this bygone
    I wanna be soft and resolved
    Clean of slate and released
    I wanna forgive for the both of us

    Like an abandoned house
    Dusty covered
    Furniture
    Still intact
    If I visit it now
    Will I simply re-live it
    Somehow gratuitous

    But who’s still aching now?
    Who’s tired of her own voice?
    Who is it weighing down
    With no gift from time of said healing

    I want to be big and let go
    Of this grudge that’s grown old
    All this time I’ve not known
    How to rest this bygone
    I wanna be soft and resolved
    Clean of slate and released
    I wanna forgive for the both of us

    Maybe as I cut the cord
    Veils will lift from my eyes
    Maybe as I lay this to rest
    Dead weight off my shoulders will rise

    Here I sit
    Much determined
    Ever ill-equipped
    To draw this curtain
    How this has entertained
    Validated
    And has served me well
    Ever the victim

    But who’s done whining now?
    Who’s ready to put down
    This load I’ve carried longer than I had cared to remember

    I want to be big and let go
    Of this grudge that’s grown old
    For the life of me I’ve not known
    How to rest this bygone
    I wanna be soft and resolved
    Clean of slate and released
    I wanna forgive for the both of us.

  4. 30 days to fu#k

    February 20, 2008 by shishnit

    This article is quite interesting. Could you have sex with your husband or wife every single day for 30 days? What might you learn from it? I can tell you that you would learn something for sure. I haven’t tried this challenge but it reminds me of the infertility gig. It’s trying and it teaches you alot about yourself and your spouse. I think this would too. Couples that don’t fuck don’t stay together. I truly believe that. And I mean to use the word “fuck”. I think it’s important to make love, cuddle, spoon, kiss, hug, and FUCK.

    I’ll go wash my typing fingers with soap now.


  5. class reunions must totally suck ass

    February 19, 2008 by shishnit

    I’m not often reminded of why smalltowns suck, but when I am I am again grateful that I no longer live in one.  Everyone in a small town must either

    a. cause problems for others

    b. snoop into other peoples business

    or

    c. wreak havoc

    I don’t really want to explain except to say that I feel that I am an adult and need no one’s permission to do as I choose in my life.  People in smalltowns think they have a right to butt into your business.

    I barely speak to my family as it is.  Why? Because for the most part they do not know me.  They haven’t coincided or been a part of my life in any real way for a very long time.  I choose to keep it that way.  I prefer it that way.  I am again reminded of why.

    While nothing life threatening happened it is again a reminder that I prefer to live where I live, in a world where people are not smalltown backwards.
