Life As It Happens

Somebody who knows me pretty well sent me this video link with the following message: You’ve seen it I’m sure but if not here ya be. I thought of you!
and your arts & music. I think its very well done and more!!

Thanks for everything, Judy Garland

I once had a strange dream in which Judy Garland signed my door using red lipstick. The message read:

                  Thanks for everything,

                         Judy Garland

                              XOXO

One of these days, I’m going to figure out what she was thanking me for (perhaps more specifically). Maybe I’ll have another dream in which she explains this in more detail. I had this dream so long ago I can’t even remember when. It still comes back to me.

Anyway, Judy, you’re welcome.

Gypsy by Shakira

Broke my heart
Down the road
Spent the weekend
Sewing the pieces back on

Crayons and dolls pass me by
Walking gets too boring
When you learn how to fly

Not the homecoming kind
Take the top off
And who knows what you might find

Won’t confess all my sins
You can bet I’ll try it
But you can’t always win

‘Cause I’m a gypsy
Are you coming with me?
I might steal your clothes
And wear them if they fit me
Never made agreements
Just like a gypsy
And I won’t back down
‘Cause life’s already bit me
And I won’t cry
I’m too young to die
If you’re gonna quit me
‘Cause I’m a gypsy

I can’t hide
what I’ve done
Scars remind me
Of just how far that I’ve come
To whom it may concern
Only run with scissors
When you want to get hurt

I said hey you
You’re no fool
If you say no
Ain’t it just the way life goes?
People fear what they don’t know
Come along for the ride

Words words words words words words words. Funny, random, miscellaneous words. My fingers are poised over the keyboard, ready to hit send. ~RMM

Me: I’m a writer. My words live on the page.

Boss: We’ve got to get you off the page.

The Passing of Joshua Richardson

I didn’t know Josh well, but this is still hard. I still don’t understand how we just lose a person like that. I took a call from him two days before he disappeared. It’s odd ~ he was there and now he’s not. I’ve had this tight feeling in my stomach all day. By the time I got off work, I was feeling very nauseous. When I was driving home, I could feel tiny droplets of cold sweat forming on my eyelids. Everything seemed to move so slowly today.
