yep... jen of "her own invention". the one word that comes to mind when i think of jen is sweet. no, not like that. like, sweeet. damnit, you guys aren't southern enough. jen knows what i'm talking about... and kelli.see, there's this kind of fragile sticky sweet aura that she has, and it makes us want to reach out and stroke the tears away, throw her over our shoulder, and fix all her

i believe everyone suffers. its just part of livin huh? and shit - we love to quantify it. make it rational and minutely scaled. so we can decide whether or not we're doin it right. and so we can weigh in on whether or not we have the right to hurt.and ive wondered lots latelywhat is the 'right' way to be in relationship with sufferin? what does health and wholeness and integrity look like

you read it right... part one of two. i'll post the second half of the interview later this week. possibly, wednesday. thing was, i just couldn't stop asking questions.what a lovely sport she is, and an example of making lemonade of life's lemons.i can't remember how it was that our meeting came about. it just happened... over the last few months, i've laughed and cried and hoped and prayed that

have you ever clicked on the "worship naked" button? how could you not... 95% of y'all are as horny as i am. shit man, all it took for me to become a member was a few of his pictures and a quick glance at his blogroll. well, that's not entirely true.it was more like a "i wish i could be this guy" type thing... not because the women flock to him, not because of his lifestyle... but because of his

Well, shit! It happened again. One thing that I’ve learned since joining this crew is that if I’m going to gain a foothold, I need to be sharper than the average cat. That’s why I check blogs so often and comment so rarely. I have to read the newest posts first before you guys get a hold of them and I can’t leave a decent comment because you all beat me to it.Fly stole my topic today. Well, she

i've thought about it, and i just don't think it's worth going into the beginning of our relationship.i can remember being his age... i can remember changing, and changing, and changing, until one day i woke up and realized i'm not who i used to be. i still have those thoughts, but i no longer act on them.if you look at his picture, and then mine, you can almost see a resemblance. the goatee, the

Pass the red-headed, long-legged, money-pitted billboards, across the multi-racial, multi-ethnic, multi-hundred dollar homes, around the concreted and steeled and plastered quasi-leveled hi-rises, cruise by fruit cakes and jelly rolls, cinnamon sticks and honey buns, roll into then out of the biggest, so so so biggest stadium that ever was until the next biggest soo soo soo biggest stadium was

there may be some of you that have never read fly... although, i can't imagine it. she is by far the sweetest thing to ever grace my online life. i'm honored that we consider each other friends. well, that may not be the best terminology because we are friends... we don't just consider.in a way, i'm very reluctant to post this... after reading this about 100 times, i realized something. i'm

i may have mentioned it before... but, the first time i heard edge read a post, i knew that i would never be the same. it was one of those moment in time type things where your life stands still for you long enough to comprehend that something dramatic just happened.edge is an amazing writer and his home is at http://windingcrookedtrails.blogspot.com. the title "winding, crooked trails" fits this
