My Dragonfly And Me


If I could be a Dragon Fly
and wing my way through the sky
I would never be shy
just me and my Dragon Fly!


By moonlight we ride the wind
chase the comets tail for fun
by day we would hide from the sun
our fragile wings would come undone


On darkest nights we would use
fireflies as our guide
we would dip and we would glide
through the heavens open wide
and scatter diamonds in the night sky
my Dragon Fly and me...


And we would wing past our lovers
silent in the night...
to kiss their face in our flight
much to their surprise and delight
my Dragon Fly and me in sight...


Such a view do we share
away up here in the air
of breezes soft through our hair
my Dragon Fly and me a pair...

It is funny true, and there was a lesson learned there I am sure.

My comment about the guy being rotten was an off the cuff remark have been on the receiving line of fireworks jokes, knee jerk reaction.

Guns are not toys, they need to be handled with respect. I know this much.

Lady Jag’s Personal Horrorscope
for Tuesday, August 19, 2008

If life on Earth were to evaporate, and the planet be visited by alien anthropologists, they will wonder at the regularity with which they find brown bottles and aluminum cans in the hollow spaces of concrete walls, and they will conclude that these artifacts represent some sort of offering to some kind of deity with the short name "Beer" and they will discover that the Delphic oracle for this God was no doubt a place called "Milwaukee" since it will be there that they will find where most of the icons to this God were created.


Aries (March 21 - April 19)

More trouble with that annoying "bluebird of happiness" today. With any luck, the cat will get it.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

Vlad The Impaler continues to come up in casual conversation. You might want to consider wearing a silver cross, despite your theological leanings.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)

Someone will stop you today, to ask directions. Tell them to take the second star to the right, and go straight on till morning. (I personally never ask for directions, since I find it's always much more effective to find someone who looks like they know where they're going, and follow them. I also always tell people that my name is "Svlad." It's something to do.)

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

Due to forces beyond comprehension, you will begin talking with a Texas accent. Eventually, you'll come out with audio tapes to teach this to others, which you will call "Texa-Bonics."

Leo (July 23 - August 22)

You'll have a freakish number of plumbing difficulties, today. This is due in part to the age of your plumbing fixtures, but mostly it's because Neckna, Queen of the Undines, has taken a strong dislike towards you, due to some rather harsh words you've had to say about the weather lately.

Virgo (August 23 - September 22)

Due to your supreme skill at an obscure video game, you will be abducted by aliens, and asked to save their race from annihilation at the hands (roughly speaking) of evil creatures from between the stars.

Libra (September 22 - October 22)

Today you will deliberately annoy people by standing too close to them when waiting in line. Tomorrow: standing just slightly too far away.

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)

Excellent day to devour fruit, while making snarling sounds and glaring at persons nearby. Next, tear the heads off the carnations and stuff them partway up your nose, and make strange wuffling sounds while vigorously wiggling your eyebrows. Or don't, if you're going to be stuffy. It's your life.

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)

You will hear a strange flapping sound today. Glancing outside, you will see a precision drill team marching by wearing scuba flippers and waving feather dusters. Avoid eye contact. Stay indoors.

Capricorn (December 22 - January 20)

You will wake with a start tonight, and hear a sound like that of a whole herd of capybara snuffling around in your closet. Fortunately, when you switch on the light that will turn out to be all it is.

Aquarius (January 21 - February 18)

This will be a day filled with tragically many sneezes. At least it'll be a good opportunity to learn how to sneeze "cute."

Pisces (February 19 - March 20)

Bad hair day today. In fact, it's quite likely that your hair will actually be arrested.

HOW TO TALK TO A PEACE RALLY DEMONSTRATOR

What to do if you happen upon a peace rally by mushy-minded leftist-indoctrinated college idiots, to teach them why force is sometimes needed:

1) Approach the ignorant student talking about "peace" and saying there should be, "no retaliation."

2) Engage in brief conversation; ask if military force is appropriate.

3) When he says "No," ask, "Why not?"

4) Wait until he says something to the effect of, "Because that would just cause more innocent deaths, which would be awful and we should not cause more violence."

5) When he's in mid sentence, punch him in the face as hard as you can.

6) When he gets back up to up to punch you, point out that it would be a mistake and contrary to his values to strike you, because that would, "be awful and he should not cause more violence."

7) Wait until he agrees that he has pledged not to commit additional violence.

8) Punch him in the face again, harder this time.

Repeat steps 5 through 8 until they understand that sometimes it is necessary to punch back.

Man, do they have this all down pat or what? ;-)

By the way, I'd like to go on record as stating that the weather is absolutely gorgeous. Highs of 116 are a delight and the sand in the air gives such a lovely hue to everything.

I'll bet people are so jealous of our weather. As well they should be.

70º in MA, partly sunny and humid, as I posted about the Undines, skies suddenly darkened and opened up with thunder, lightning, 60 mph wind and standing-under-Niagara-Falls rain.

Pushed the post button and the sun came out.

Glad you like 116º weather. Never having been anywhere that hot, I can't imagine how it would feel.

I seriously doubt this, one thing I hate is a phony southern accent.

She was all into the operation of the slide mechanisim, smelling the gun and just pointing it. The oooohs say it all. The husband’s revenge is a little over the top. Funny video. I bet that he slept alone for quite awhile.

Pretty picture Meg, with the prairie out in the distance. Kindof ‘dreamy’ feeling.

Wish my Geraniums bloomed like that, lol.

Russia seems to be waiting to see if we will do something.

Maybe we ought to do something.

"The artist is one of my favorite finds since I got a computer..I now travel and learn by the net!"

Not me. Wherever I go, I'm still the same old me.

.

God in Darkness

In the darkness, I listen, for He who might speak,
A brightness that echoes, of what I may seek.
I see only shadows, I fear them as well,
I’m dwelling in darkness, not much up from Hell.

Beneath me, no planet, I am my own orb.
A happenstance I cannot really absorb.
How came I to nothing? Where is my old land,
How came I to be here with nowhere to stand?

And then in some manner I cannot portray,
I notice that I’m simply turned the wrong way.
Behind me the sun has been shining quite full,
Perhaps only now I’m aware of its pull.

As over my shoulder I see now the light,
It comes to me darkness depends on one’s sight.
For those who look outward, away from the source,
One’s shadow will march down the path of his course.

But glory may gleam in the moment you find,
That the past isn’t only what you’ve left behind.
It builds you, sustains you, and gives you a hand,
For learning your way to the place where you stand.
