my luck has drawn a beautiful life,
but DiVinci's would have been prettier
I'm satisfied for the moment, but I'm still affraid
it's just a fleeting moment, in a second I'll be empty
no matter how full, I'll be void
once lived in darkness, where the shadows couldn't find me
now blinded by the light, and shade should remind
of another time and place, where Howardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02569412983259978830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5637399.post-1165888789177863462006-12-11T18:50:00.000-07:002006-12-11T18:59:49.186-07:00Guess who's back, back again....Ok, so I think I got a couple(well exactly 2) emails in the past 18 months letting me know I'm missed. So if my extrapolation calculations are correct, based on the number of people who didn't email me, I'd say about 30,342 people wanted me to return but were too lazy to write. And I can't let that many people down. I don't have a clue as to where I left off, so I'll just live in the moment.Howardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02569412983259978830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5637399.post-1110980231026185942005-03-16T06:35:00.000-07:002005-03-16T06:37:11.036-07:00Morning PrayersMorning Prayers

God, please direct my thinking, especially divorcing it from self-pity, dishonest or self-seeking motives. . . .

Put me in an environment where I can grow and change to become more like who he would have me be today. I have not surrendered out of virtue but of desparation.

Ephedra deaths
The FDA is all over 80 fucking ephedra related deaths yet we still have easy access to the two leading causes of death when it comes to unnecessary shit in our lives. That is fucked up.

Life is just moving on. I don't get it.
