Season 7, Episode 5
Quote of the Century:From "True Blood" LaFayette to Jessica:
LaFayette: And if you keep it 100 and honest, you know he is not the man for you...

Jessica: ...Because he is the man for you?

LaFayette: If he is, what is so f-ing unimaginable about that...Red! Huh? Everyone else in this f-ing town is falling in love, getting engaged and having babies. Has it ever occurred to you that Lafayette, that Queen, that make ALL you white heterosexuals laugh and feel good about yourselves, has it f-ing ever occurred to you that maybe I want a piece of happiness too? No....

When I Read the Book-Walt Whitman


"
When I Read the Book-Walt Whitman

When I read the book, the biography famous,And is this then (said I) what the author calls a man's life?And so will some one when I am dead and gone write my life?(As if any man really knew aught of my life,Why even I myself I often think know little or nothing of my real life,Only a few hints, a few diffused faint clews and indirectionsI seek for my own use to trace out here.)"

Wigs and other 'distractions' September 7, 2013

Wigs and other 'distractions'. September 7, 2013
I just thought of something ironic: When I was working at the Alternative School, a Campbell MS African American boy was sent there because he was "a distraction and was disrupting class with his appearance."  He was wearing a wig. It was a short wig, even, kind of a "bob" and it wasn't even feminine. I thought then, "Well, don't the girls wear wigs, and are they determined as a distraction?" , and are they determined as a distraction?" "What about kids with cancer who wear wigs? Are they a distraction, too?  Today, I thought of this:  All of our Founding Fathers wore wigs and they were not seen as a distraction. It's ironic how social norms dictate appropriate behavior and appearance. If we were to take people's clothes from many different cultures and eras, and were to analyze their appearance, they would look pretty odd by today's standards, huh?  In Literature, we call this "Theater of the Absurd."    (Robert's deep thoughts for today).

The point is, in this whole, wide wicked world, the only thing you have to be afraid of....is me."  (S3 E2)

"You know, I have never understood you Bible thumpers and your hypocricy towards sex; I know, behind closed doors that you are the biggest perverts of all."  (S3 E3)

"Yes, she needs to work on her aim." (S3 E3)

"I do...I do think I am clever, I am, after all,  the Supreme."  (S3 E4)

"Don't make me drop a house on you!" (S3 E?)

"You're one step up from the men who stand in front of Home Depot." (S3 E5)

"And you....will disappear. You can go on your own, or my way.  I don't care which. Although, I prefer the latter."  (S3 E5)

SOULS ADRIFT

Souls
cascading aimlessly
throughout space and time
Infinite molecules of lost hearts
gyre
throughout fleeting time
having said good-bye to those
Souls
gone before
to never be kissed again.

Souls
searching endlessly
for that long lost love
that never was
in this lifetime
But linger from past
Souls
passing by thousands of other
Souls
Feeling nothing
among those other singular
Souls.

Until our
Souls
for a moment
Light-
Rest upon the gaze of each other's
Soul
A second of arms wrapped together
Summoning a memory
My Soul
is lifted and sent soaring
full of joy and laughter
warmed by the glimpse
and smile of that
Soul

A stranger now
but  so familiar
to my Old
Soul
(Within)
Aristophanes speaks of this
Soul
Full of longing
Full of knowing
that Soul
could be the one
Soul
that has the Heart
and Spirit
to win my love.

Warm
Soul
the radiant breath
of lovers ages gone
glinting infinitely
in the sparkle of your eyes.

Soul
that sends me into rapture
by the momentary passing
of your
Soul
touching mine.

*Soul,
You show me
Even the happiest of hearts
can become
Elated
Joyous
Inspired
Hopeful
when your
Soul
Drifts into my life
and warms my
Soul.
