Hey guys, I'll update this later. Much love! :)

~Monique

Hay veces que el recuerdo Inhunda mis sentidos,

Hay veces que los sentidos aturdidos de tu recuerdo invaden mi piel,

Aveces un fugas recuerdo de tu miradad color miel como el sabor de tus labios

llevandome entre tu ser.

talvez descubriendo que la dejaste ir lo que un dia pudiste tener, mas sin embargo

la noches de tu piel, impregandas en mi cuerpo llevo, ese dulce y humedo sabor de tu piel.

Teniendo en mi recuerdo tus palabras que no se van de mi mente, talves una decision que nunca tome cuando la devi hacer, Ahora es tarda y ya no estas aqui, el tiempo ya llego en miedo me vencio..

Si puedieras comprender lo mismo que yo, trataria de gritar y hacercarme, tus palabras tienen el tiempo, vas a temblar..

Hace ya mucho tiempo, tu vida y mi vida cambio, mas no se de ti, y creo tu menos demi..

Pero recuerdos entre la sangre llevamos los dos, entre Olive y el 99 un recuerdo que no olvido,. una tarde de verano, un dia comun para muchos, un simbolo de lo que deja uno un dia ir.

85 millas por hora, calida tarde, navegando al sur, moenia en mi radio stereo,..mi estomago es sensacion..152 east, 5 sur, 99sur..camino donde la sangre hierve..ambos entre los dos..

un recuerdo tu mirada, tu sonrisa franca ese brillo entus ojos, un secreto que nadie imagina de t vida y mi vida...

Tu cabello humedo, el aroma de tu piel fresca..aroma suave ropa obscura igual que yo...camaro blanco raiders logo...muchas historias por contar...

La vida es solo un segundo, el alma sintio lo que el cuerpo vio, y esque se que alguna ves, asi me paso. Pero ahora haces que...eso cambie....tienes miedo se ve entus ojos, vas a temblar!!

Me ensenaste lo que piensas, me ensenaste lo que sentiste mas no te quise escuchar...lamento haber hecho tus lagrimas rodar...S.B.G

El tiempo paso, elmomento , elmiedo me vencio, si puedieras comprender lo mismo que yo, tratatia de gritar y hacercarme,..tus palabras tienen el tiempo, vas a temblar...ensename lo que sientes, NO mi boca quiere escuchar...

Esos ojos color miel, mirada un recuerdo.

hey wasup every1

:)

es lo mejor que podemos hacer en esta vida  y nunca esperes nada acambio veras que tu recompensa sera muy grande

EL CAMINO PARA TENER UNA RELACION SANA CON NOSOTROS MISMOS COMIENZA POR ACEPTARNOS COMO SOMOS, CON ACIERTOS Y ERRORE. ACEPTARNOS NO ES RENUNCIAR A NUESTROS DESEOS DE SUPERACION, SINO FORTALECER LA RELACIONCON NOSOTROS MISMOS,DEJANDO DE DEPENDER DE LA APROBACION AJENA. ASI LOGRAREMOS RESPETARNOS Y RESPETAR A LOS DEMAS. ESTA ACTITUD DESPIERTA LA HUMILDAD, LA ALEGRIA,EL BIENESTAR INTERIOR Y LA PASION POR VIVIR QUE ESTA EN NOSOTROS, PERO NO PARA SACARLA A RELUCIR.                                       EN NUESTRA MENTE SE PRODUCE UNA GRAN BATALLA. A VECES, LA CRITICA INTERNA,LA CULPA Y EL ENOJONO NOS DEJAN VER MAS ALLA DE LO QUE NOS PASA.      SI BIEN SOMOS CONCIENTES DE LO DESTRUCTIVOS QUE SON LOS PENSAMIENTOS NEGATIVOS, AUN NO RECONOCEMOS LO IMPORTANTE QUE ES UNA MENTE QUE TRABAJA A NUESTRO FAVOR.                                                                                             LA FRUSTRACION QUE SENTIMOS EN LAS FIESTAS ESTA VINCULADA A LA NECESIDAD DE AMARNOS COMO SOMOS, PORQUE SOLO ASI PODREMOS DAR LO MEJOR DE NOSOTROS A LOS DEMAS. SI NO NOS OFRECEMOS AMOR, NO PODREMOS DARLO A LOS DEMAS.                                                                                                                                                      ESPERO MIS PALABRAS TE SIRVAN AMIGO. HASTA PRONTO.

planning test series and even one day matches years in advance seems to have no meaning for me. Hopelessly weak teams are pitted against teams that are much superior to them resulting in lacklustre performances and the virtual "killing off" of the game.
 
Take the recent India England ODIs and the Zimbabwe Sri Lanka matches. England finally found an excuse to call off the mismatches and stop the inevitable 7-0 drubbing that would have done untold damage to the future of the game in that country. Sri Lanka gave an unbelievably lacklustre performance and it was only due to them doing their best to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in the last 3 games, that those matches were even remotely watchable.
 
What should happen is that series are planned only a maximum of an year in advance and current form is used to decide who plays whom. Since the game is so strongly aligned to betting anyway, it will be a simple matter to use the formula that the bookies use to judge "current form".
 
For example on current form it is Australia, India and Sri Lanka that should be playing against each other in tests with South Africa, Pakistan England forming another group and New Zealand, West Indies, Bangladesh and Zimbabwe (assuming they are given back test status) forming the last group.
 
Just think about it a home and away series between these teams in 2009 would be really worth watching wouldn't it ?  
 
In the recent past how many such mismatches have there been. When ever they were tours of the sub continent how often have the visiting side avoided a drubbing by cancelling the tour half way through due to terrorism ? This in spite of assurances from the host government that full protection would be given and garantees of safety. If this was done the current hoo-ha about the IPL may also have been avoided.
 
This should be the job of the ICC and if they are not capable it is time for ACC (Asian Cricket Council) to take over !

There's been a fair bit of talk in recent days about Britain joining the euro. Not just from Mr Barroso, the jefe de la junta in Brussels, but whispers in markets, too.

It scarcely need be said that it would be barking mad: even in the short term there is the problem that the largest economy, Germany, has a low budget deficit and doesn't believe in borrowing to get out of recession (Frank-Walter Steinmeier, the German foreign minister, alluded to it saying 'Just because all the lemmings jump off the cliff at the same time doesn't make it the right decision); in the long term the structural differences are likely to widen.

But it seems even dafter politically. There has to be an election by Spring 2010. Just imagine the headlines in the Sun if Brown were to attempt this having 'abolished the pound', 'sold out to Europe'.

No, mes frères, I think not.

M's of gratitude!

Miracle... we are! I was told to stick around until the miracle happened... I did, and it did!

Meditation... for it allows me to listen to God, helps me start my day, and keeps me God conscious!

Meetings... When I walked in, off the street... freezing cold, wet, filthy, shaking, desperate... you welcomed me with open arms and hugged me. Where I was invisible on the street, you saw me. When I was hopeless, you gave me hope. When I spilled my coffee and tried to sneak out unnoticed, I was given a hand... and you asked me to stay anyway. You helped me and showed me what to do. Then... I was told to come back... whoa... so I did, and I do! Today I show my gratitude by doing this for others that come into our rooms... I can't keep what I have, without giving it away!

Message... I'm grateful that I listen for the message, and I live to carry the message to others!

Mirror... When I was on the street, I feared the big plate glass windows... afraid that I might catch a glimpse of me... I couldn't bear the thought. Today I can look in the mirror and see what I say and say what I see... I would venture as far as to say that I am grateful that I even like what I see! Now when I see a big window that carries reflections, I can see me act like a kid and laugh!

Mom's... I am grateful to have my mom for my mom... she's really cool! She's done the best she can, with all her heart and soul.... she lost my dad and 3 of their sons... my brothers... she even had to let me go and turn me away when I was in the thralls of this disease... and she doesn't drink.... whoa! She loves me, and I love her! And I'm so grateful that I am a mom... and learn, through recovery, how to be a better mom... one day at a time!

Music... ahhhhhhhh.... my lover, my passion! I'm grateful for the gift of music... I don't have to sell my guitars to get what I had to get! They remind me, that I am one drink from where I've been... then I remember what it was like... and I love what it is like now! My dream, of many years, was to have a Gibson acoustic guitar... older than me... and this one just so happens to be a '52... 7 years older... she's sweet... music to my heart and soul!

More... Today I want More of the right stuff... More contact constant contact with God... More recovery... More purpose... More experiences... More miracles... feelings... people... love... and hope! More? Go figure!

Meals... I got here hungry... Today, I am grateful to eat... to have a kitchen and the ability to cook meals. Sometimes there isn't much here... but that's ok, cuz I don't have to scope out the soup kitchen's and dumpster's today... unless I want to... so that I can help serve!

Medicine... I am grateful to have another disease too... and to be one of 65 people, in the world, taking treatment injections, through a grant from Presbyterian Hospital Metabolic Bone Disease Unit. Last year and this year, I had bone biopsies to donate a piece of bone for further study abroad... in research centers in Switzerland and Austria... as well as Manhattan! I found, that in trying to work recovery in all areas of life, I can carry a message in this medical area of the world too... experience, strength, hope... it's working... and it works!

Ohhhhh... MUST... I love this one... I'm grateful that it is repeated over and over in the Big Book... Must is without option... it means I have to... it means that it is important... imperative... life or death!

I must, I must, I must increase my...

nope, not my bust! LOL

Thanks God!

Today's blog is about THINGS THAT ARE AWESOME.

Things that are awesome, are awesome.  It just works itself out.

The blog was and is inspired by AWESOMETOWN

So, If I was ever to move out of Chicago, I think I'd buy a condo in Awesometown.  I'd definitly want to raise my kids there as I hear the schooling is fantastic, Awesome if you will...

I think it's important to recognize things that are awesome.  So here's a few examples.  Don't be afraid to add any to the list with a comment or suggestion.

THINGS THAT ARE AWESOME....

HIGH FIVES!

Yup.  They're great.  I mean, a hug is decent.  A handshake is boring.  I am pretty impressed with a bow now and then, BUT.  The high five is number one.  I prefer it in all settings.  Nothing says awesome like a good quality high fiving.

Hammocks!

For the most part, if you put the word banana infront of anything, it makes it awesome.  Boat...Banana Boat, Awesome.  Cream Pie...Banana Cream Pie, Awesome.  Split...Banana Split, Awesome.  There is one exception.  Hammock....Banana Hammock, BRUTAL!  

I.E...

That's why I go with a onesie!  Let's just keep hammocks alone and the way they were. So if you're keeping score at home.  Banana Hammocks not Awesome, Hammocks Awesome!

GO TO SLEEP

Oh.  I'm not talking about CM Punk's move.  His move is pretty sweet, but not as Awesome as actually Going To Sleep.  I love going to sleep.  I'm probably the best I know at it. Also, it's where I get to dream of sweet stuff like swimming in an pool of Diet Wild Cherry Pepsi or living in a world where both Garfield and Heathcliff hang out together.  Nothing beats it, legit.  It's Awesome!

Wrestlers singing songs together to make a better world

No explanation needed...

Just Awesome!

Mustaches

You better believe it.  The crown jewel of the facial hair.  Screw these dumb makeover shows.  You wanna make someone Awesome quickly...ADD A MUSTACHE.  That's really all it takes.  It's a simple formula.  Person + Mustache = AWESOME.

Foam Fingers

Nothing crazy here.  I just love foam fingers.  I hope one day Scotty Goldman has a foam finger available at WWE.com.  Nothing too fancy or crazy.  A sweet "#1" would suit me just fine.

Thanks for enjoying Awesome Stuff with me!

Laters, 

Scotty Boy

ok i suck at this kind of thing.. not good at talkin about my self or whats goin on in my life.. so i highy doubt i will post many of them.. but if i find a  topic that really bugs me or i think it needs to be talked about i will.. and i have a tendency to piss people off when i do get started on those topics... so i appologize  now if i do that.. i may find time to post some of my crapy poetry on here but if i do that feed back is welcome.. of ne kind.. granted i have no idea why i wrote half of it.. and i guess if u want to know ne thing about  me feel free to ask.. i am a bunco addict i do admit to that.. but i don't know what else i'll admit to..

i love all the people i've meet here and at the bunco sites... u r all great ppl.. and well playing with u makes me feel lucky that my family is as crazy as they are.. cause ur all jsut as crazy.. makes me feel normal.,,

ok i think if i ever do another one of these i'm gonna have to count how many times i had to go back and fix or edit something and keep a count... cause it would be kind of funny.. granted u all know i can't type with out at least one typo... but  i think i did a good job in this.. what ever it is..

 ok i think i'm done.. and if u took the time to read this i comend u and would like to tell u that u have far too much time on ur hands... lol

love ya all

Greetings All-
In my previous post ("Listless when Idle") I gave some sage advice to someone who was legitimately worried because he had just lost his job and was worried about his prospects for the both immediate and long-term future. My advice was pretty standard - Everyone is worried.Don't give up hope. Stay Strong all that sort of stuff. I stand by that advice of course, but now we'll find out if I can walk the walk after talking the talk. --- I found out today that I'll be losing MY job of Friday... by that I mean my paying (day) job, not my cushy advice blog writing gig - which, according to google adsense has made me about $2.79 since I launched it in January. My concerns are the usual ones... Where will I find another job? and how will I hold out and pay my bills until then? Should I think about moving? Will I be homeless in a few months? You know how it goes. Due to some ill-timed major purchases, I recently (foolishly) depleted my 'emergency cash fund' ...another life lesson learned there, but I'm not going to lie: It is scary... and while it is the sort of thing I've been through before, that doesn't mean I'll enjoy it any more than a first-timer. I'll just have to stay hopeful, stay strong and all that sort of stuff. Meanwhile, there are still questions to answer, and here is one.

DEAR AAP:
I've never had any mental health problems and I promise you I'm sane and normal, or normal enough, but lately, I would say for the past six months I've felt a growing sense like no one is being truly straight with me... My bosses seem shiftier than normal, my boyfriend doesn't make much sense half the time (and I've always trusted him) and I even feel like my parents, when I talk to them on the phone just aren't.... quite...telling....me....everything. Not that I can or do imagine WHAT they would keep from me, but it just all feels weird. It is also embarrassing because I feel like I just can't ask them about it. I get the same vibe, to varying degrees from my brothers and sister, not that they're any closer to my parents than I am, so I swear I'm not thinking there's some conspiracy or anything. I just feel like I'm not quite in the loop, any loop like I used to be. How do I find out for sure? - Non-shifty.

Dear Non-shifty
How do you find out WHAT for sure? ...How do you find out if you're crazy or not? or How do you find out what the big secret is that everyone you know is keeping from you?

At first I thought maybe this was just how you might be manifesting the general anxiety that EVERYone seems to be feeling these days... certainly understandable, but after re-reading your question a few times, I'm getting a much more scared and frantic feeling from it. I think this is the sort of thing you have to have investigated by a mental health professional... I'm NOT saying you're crazy here, just that you might be suffering from the effects of pressure and anxiety and it would be best to get a pro to rule a few things out. I'm not talking about getting years of therapy, nor am I suggesting you need medication. Do some google searching for 'Cognitive Therapists' in your area... just one or two sessions will get you a good assessment of where you're currently at... Like I said, it will help your peace-of-mind just to rule some things out. And even if something gets ruled 'in' the fix might be something as simple as adjusting your thinking patterns or even just getting more sleep.

I don't want you to freak out about all of this, but please, take this seriously because if you let this thought pattern fester and grow it sounds like it would lead you to isolate yourself from everyone as your vague suspicions grow and start taking up more of your mental bandwidth, and by then it'll be even harder to break through and get help.
