who came for the 'how to rap class'? where's Dobie? and please don't tell me I missed eminem?

The problem that I'm running into is for the last four days he's been out of his mind drunk. At 5 AM today, he fell down the stairs and scared my children half to death because he was drunk.

oh precious, i am so sorry you have to deal with this. someone is going to have to tell him to sober up or leave. neither you nor your children deserve this behaviour particularly since you are in sobriety yourself. did anyone think this through before he came to visit???

Oops. I am so sorry Irish. I was "indesposed" at the time. Eminem can't make it, I94 is closed. (true- see weather channel).
So we will need to reschedule. And you know how hard that is with beepers. Oh no, I'm feeling sad, oh hell, I'm too depressed, damnit I'm manic again.
We shall see..............

dobie. its all good, your manic can go with my manic and we can party! does that sound good to anybody???? dancing, music, food and drinks, and leave all our troubles behind??? what does everyone think???

I didn't get the memo about Eminem coming to the lounge!!! I love Em.

Anywho, did you guys get a valuable lesson in the class even though Em didn't show??

I love Bob Markey too :)

hey jo - we have to reschedule the class - a glitch - we have to get our people to talk to em's people. ha ha

oh yes please precious. I love to hear new work.

ENJOY!!!! It's a picker upper =)

Paradise

I stood upon a sandy beach
A dream I thought was out of reach

I read a small warning sign
And walked toward the water line
I slipped my shoes off and let them fall
Looked out over the ocean and felt so small
If you've stood here you'll understand
This body of water is so grand
I let the sand slip between my toes
It covers my skin just like my clothes
I stepped into the salty water as a wave came crashing down
Now I find it's my turn to really go town
I ran out into the ocean
It washed away my lotion
A large wave came at me
This one's perfect as you'll see
I ride the top back to the shore
As the salt fills my every pore
My hair is matted to my face
But this is my perfect place
Sitting on the sad, the sun is warm against my skin
Watching the children play, this is the happiest I've ever been
Laughter fills the salty air
No one has a single care
The sun is getting lower
The kids are moving slower
Another day in paradise has come to an end
As parents walk their kids around the sandy bend
I stayed a while longer not wanting to go
God had created quite a marvelous show
I can't see the mountain across the way
But it covers the sun ending a perfect day
The sun is now a small orange sliver
My body gives a little shiver
But all worries are swallowed
And my soul is all but hallowed
My heart is no longer sore
Happiness to the core!!

I stood upon a sandy beach
A dream I thought was out of reach

Irish - that's sucks! I was listening to Eminem earlier today...... One of my fav artists.

I'm not in a party mood, but I'll come to the party :)

Precious, that is another beautiful poem, I love the beach and have been really wanting to go lately. This poem also reminded of the song I Hope You Dance by Leann Womack, have you heard of it??

thank you so much. just the thing to raise the spirits and calm the heart. very much appreciated.
