Song At Midnight By Lucille Clifton

Wont you celebrate with me
What I have shaped into a kind of life? I Had
no model
Born in Babylon
Both non white and woman
What did I see to be except myself?

I made it up
Here on this bridge between
starshine and clay,
My one hand holding tight,
My other hand; Come
Celebrate
with me that everyday
Something has tried to kill me
and has failed.

The Road to Hell is Lined with Good Intentions.

I am not going to say all my troubles started when my father died b/c thats not true. Things have escalated since then, I will say, but I believe in the addage, to paraphrase, what can go wrong, will (is that murphy's law?). I will alter it to read if there is some outlandish, insane, nonsensical thing that will happen, then I will be somehow be involved even if it seems that I have NOTHING to do with it.

And then for me to say, that if I keep to myself, stay close to home, and mind my own business, that I will be okay is not true either, as in the idea that most accidents happen with in a few miles of your home. The house could catch fire, a tree could fall on it, or, as in my case, your land lord/person could be an absolute user, crackhead, trainwreck in your living room.

The Road to Hell is lined with Good Intentions, will be my epitaph.

I am tired of hearing people say (I'm warning -- don't say this in response to this post. it is NOT true), Everything will be okay if you just be true to yourself. You cannot be true to yourself in a vacuum, because what you view as being true to yourself, in any situation, will be interpreted in a negative way by the people holding the noose.

Judge Jury and Executioner. The people who are making this decision will never, unfortunately, never read this writing, and they do not understand. THIS IS NOT A JOKE. I AM NOT CONTACTING YOU TO BE FUNNY OR A PAIN IN THE ASS. This is MY LIFE AT STAKE and I thought you people were in the business of SAVING LIVES. YES I am WHINING, because all life has TAUGHT ME is that you must FIGHT LIKE HELL to get what YOU NEED.

I have stood by dying people and talked to them, held their hands and helped them transition from this life. I do not need someone to help me transition from this life, that I can do myself. I NEED SOMEONE/S to help me continue living. I have been limping along by myself BECAUSE I HAVE NO CHOICE, but dragging my feet along will not cut it anymore.

Time to take a break. Don't worry I am not in any danger; I am just letting it all out and, this will take a while.

Thanks for listening

Love Jeanine

An Arrow Shaped Cloud

This was in the sky facing south, pointing toward the west. Since I live in NJ on the east border of Trenton, makes me wonder if John Corzine is in some serious trouble. It is pointing towards the capitol.

My computer buddy

This is Blue aka Scarface. He hops up on top of the printer and sometimes sticks his paw out in my face to say "hey look at me". When he wants to get down, he uses me as a ladder. Ha ha!
