stop grieving for my old life and embrace my new one instead of seeing it as lacking (read all 2 entries…)
Part Deux 10 months ago

& now, I need to stop grieving for my new-old life and embrace my new new one instead of seeing it as lacking. Ebbs and flows, change is the only constant. JC is the same yesterday, today, & tomorrow, and even though, truth be told, and it is a waste to lie to the One who knows all, I am p-oed at Him right now (it’s cool; he already Forgave me for that among a bajillion other crappy things I’ve done/not done/will do/not do)—something cool WILL come of this. I gotsta keep on moving, all Matthew Wilder-like (dang, I bust out the semi-obscure wholly-random lyrical quotage when depressive, which is oh-so-hilarious since I can’t bear to listen to a song), until the day of super coolness is upon me, at which I will have a TaDa moment and be like, yo, JC, You knew where I was going all along, and JC will be all, Duh. I’m up with your Father; We were ALWAYS on your side. ‘Sok, though, you ask forgiveness and we’re cool…but you gotta learn to TRUST ME!

Fool me twice...Can't get fooled again! 10 months ago

Thanks, G-Dub.
The Beegees once wrote, and had Dionne Warwick sing an appropriate song entitled, Heartbreaker. Check it.

Dear Neato:
I know you are angry at your higher power right now, because you expect bs from the person involved by his merit of being a person, but not from God above. It will get better, in His time. And yeah. that sucks, cause Dude’s got tons of time. He’s God. &that’s why it makes no sense right now while you’re hurting like a bee-otch—because you are not impotent and all-knowing and, thus, You Don’t Get It. Hold hope, girlfriend. And get thee to a gym, and drink thee the water, and put on them Barbie shoes, and listen to some good flamboyant Elton John. &”stupid ‘ho” (Thanks, Gwen Stefani), be open to take a chance.
Steve Winwood backs that up, Juvenile style, as does Abba, sorta.
xoXOXXoXXxxOOOOo,
yeah that reminds you of him, but get over it,
me
