Hello, Duckies! • SO...after being disabled (via the post-surgery side effects of a meningioma|brain tumor) -- plus, receiving diagnosis of the life-long drama that is #Fibromyalgia? • I reinvested into my dream of becoming a professional poet and author. Madness, right?! • Sooooo...what am I doing currently, you ask? • Just being myself. Oh, don't get me wrong. I am nobody special. Just some broad, trying to make my dreams into a reality. On the opposite side of that coin? • Due to spending SO much time alone, versus the non-stop carouseI of the social butterfly that i used to play the part of? I now find myself developing an inner-based monologue; an ongoing consciousness of sorts. Never-ending observations and opinions, regarding the state of this world we've all found ourselves attached to. Not only do i want to know more; i find myself feeding off of the occurrences and outcomes of what has been happening to us (us=human beings) as a culture/ethnicity/generationally - and as entities. To say the VERY least? Things are getting fuct. And more to the point? It's our fault! • That, and a host of other opinions have become less of an inner-based monologue for me; instead, more of an itch that must be scratched out by the means of pen and paper. If for nothing else? • Then because of my life-long talent of telling the truth despite another's feelings; in disregard for the appropriateness of the moment. In fact? Frigg the friggin' moment! We are running out of time on a reasonable fix, yet few even notice it. • Interested? Or, just wanting to see if I'm going to fall on my face and make a spectacle? Or die trying?! • Welcome to my Blog. And I promise; it's not ALL doom and gloom-fest seriousness. I share a lot more about the "stuff'n'things" i find myself vested in these days also. We'll call that 'the Fun!' • Follow✓ "them-there" links down below -- and come see about ME. Ciaõ for Now! 💋 💖 ✌

Cardinal Salaman’s Dream About Dante and Virgil

Those who are wise keep their lamps lit in these times. Those who are foolish do not. Samhain Cardinal Salaman was asleep in his bed. It was difficult being one of the few heterosexuals who worked at the Vatican these days. And today he had read an advanced notice…

Lilith and Eve: Part One

Originally posted on Kit Perriman:
? (Painting: Dante Gabriel Rossetti) According to the Jewish Midrash’s  explanation for the two separate accounts of the Creation Story, Adam’s first wife was a woman called Lilith.  She was made of the same soil as man and therefore was his equal.  But when Adam tried to dominate Lilith she rebelled, fled the Garden of…

Rigor Mortis

2013 was a year that utterly sucked on pretty much every level for me.  And indirectly this movie fairly well summed up what a pathetic year it was – I had a comp ticket to go see it on behalf of Easternkicks – as I managed to turn up a…
