Dreams: a Blogophilia and BFF Write

Dreams are elusive...

lost from the mind

upon awakening,

or lost in the wind

once spoken.

Recurring over and over

without any further

understanding of

what it's all about.

Day dreams,

night dreams,

dreams of the future,

dreams of the past...

why does no one dream of the present?

Ah, but we have,

and we will...

for the present is

yesterday's future

and tomorrow's past.

I would give anything for

the chance to stay in my dreams

and avoid the harsh realities

of cobbling my life

back together...

But this cobbler must awaken

before the harsh realities

of his dreams

overtake him.

BFF:  Recurring Dreams

Judge Not....

So I was at the store today, and standing in line at the checkout there was a mother with her toddler daughter in front of me.  The girl was probably about two or so, and was sitting in the shopping cart seat so she was facing me.  This little girl looked up at me and gave me the most beaming happy smile.....I couldn't help but grin back.  It was an innocent, heart warming moment.

Well.  At that moment her mother turned round and saw me smiling at her baby....she gave me a withering glare and moved in between us faster than you can say pedophile.....for that's obviously what her glare told me she thought of me.

I have to say, my feelings were hurt.  I know my exterior shouts "felon!" rather than "choirboy!" but what did she think I was going to do, follow them home and kidnap her?  Actually that's probably exactly what she thought. 

I have enough self-loathing going on lady without you adding to it.  Thanks.  I admit I've done a lot of bad, shitty, illegal things and made bad choices in my life....but I've owned up to them, taken responsibility, and am trying to lead a decent life.  When all is said and done I don't think I'm that bad of person despite my past.  Not everyone with a rough exterior is an axe murderer. 

Why are we so quick to judge others?  Is it programmed into us from birth or is it an innate animal instinct?  Maybe a little of both?  For as much as I was hurt that she judged me, I judged her right back:   You have no idea who I am or what my life is like, bitch, so fuck you. 

I'm just as guilty.

Another day in the life...

New Blog

So here I am on Blogger.  Having blogged on Myspace for the last 2 and a half years, I almost feel like I'm being unfaithful to a friend....but with all the shitty changes they're making over there I figure it's time to have a backup plan.  Plus so many people have jumped ship already in favor of Facebook, Twitter, etc. it's getting to be like a ghost town at the 'Space.

I'll double post to here and at Myspace and link it to Facebook, that should cover all bases. 

I'm sad that the good days are over at Myspace, I was so reluctant to sign up in the beginning but I'm glad I did; I've met so many awesome people there and received so much support, it's been a definite plus in my life.  I still shake my head and chuckle at the thought of blogging though.  Who'da thought 3 years ago that I would be blogging for christ's sake?  Not me.  Just goes to show how many odd twists and turns life takes.
