hello,folks. Today's 7-11-o4, i forgot the date last entry. Just a note .I finally saw Van Helsing - loved it. It's the
best fun and effects i've seen in long time. Van Helsing get's the evil doer big time. Maybe he should go after Bushie
.
Hello friends. I have been away .Much has happened .Too much to get into . Bush still stinks , he needs to be put out
of office .Too many have died ...is it going to end ? My life has been full of ups and downs .Bad things have happened
,like the death of my beloved cat ,Mr.Bishi on May 6,2oo4. That was on the heels of my mother's life threatening fall. She's
better, but not doing all that great. I slowed down on my writing,but i think i'm back.I'm usually at Arcanum Cafe. Also,
i'm in the DARC now. http://freewebs.com/dreamersandrainbowchasers/
That's all for now.Take care until ...whenever.Peace
5-10-03 Greetings friends .Happy Mother's Day tomorrow. Things seem to be getting back to normal -the war looks to be
over-hopefully. Our troops are home or coming home-let's keep it that way .I haven't been here in awhile due to illness and
problems .I will try to keep this site going .Best wishes to all. Mom-have a sweet Mother's Day .
3-26-03 Hello friends . I'm praying hard that Bush will end this war in Iraq and get our troops home .Things are going
from bad to worse over there , more deaths ,including civillians .Bush's war is not going as he planned , not quite the
piece of cake he thought , with the people of Iraq fighting back .They do not want us over there ,they do not want our missles
and bombs .They do not want the death and and total devastation that's going on. Liberation or oil? They know the score.
Bush...Stop this war !!! This war will lead to much darker things, we don't want the problems that will hit us .What
will we do when our enemies and former allies gang up against us ? And what about our economy ...do we want the catastrophe
to happen...it will. God help us.Bush, Stop this war !!!! Please pray friends , alot.
3-17-03 Hello friends .Happy Day O'Green . I wish you all well . Let this be a day of fun ,
but also a day of meditation and comtemplation . We may be on the brink of war . Are you concerned ? Have you spoken out ?
Have you written to Bush ? Have you done enough? Have I done enough ...? No ..there's much more to be done . I will keep praying
, i'm hoping you will too. It is not unpatriotic to be against the war and to speak out . Mr. Bush , we want our troops to
be home , safe and with their families. Don't do this thing ...it is wrong .Why is it you are not listening ? Bloodshed for
oil , bloodshed for power. God help us ! Love and Peace to all ...God help us to have understanding and not fall victim to
brainwashing . Please send wisdom to Mr. Bush and put love in his heart.
2-18-03 . Greetings friends .Ya know , i really need to get back to being more peaceful and to meditate
...what happened ? Well...life happened , of course. I get so angry ...i let things get to me too much lately ...well, not
just "lately" , it's been happening awhile.Anger and depression..yes and frustration. But , i hope you know , i honestly don't
hate anyone , no...just things they do. I don't even hate Bush ! I don't like him tho and i don't trust him .I hate what's
he's up to .I wish him peace...i want us to have Peace. If only he would listen.Please listen Mr. Bush ...it is not unpatriotic
to hate war and to speak against it. War is death , war is blood and pain and suffering and can't be undone. I don't believe
for one second that God approves of it...war is Murder. I hope and pray Mr. Bush wakes up..and listens...and steps back.
I need to meditate and comtemplate ...and get back...
2-11-03. Hello people. I crave warmer weather to help me get well.I don't mind chilly weather at all...but i need
a chance to get well . What i really want is a trip to Tahiti . That , of course , won't be happening. I had to drop
my college classes and i hate that...but i'll get back to all that. I've been hanging out at Arcanum Cafe again and
i love it. Didn't i put a link on here to them ? I believe so. I need to cut this short , as if you care. Oh , i need to put
Dr. Pepper in my veins. Take care and be very wary of Bush .Later .
2-10-03 .Hello .They did it again...they snatched my guestbook ! All my comments from you good people are gone
.I hate that. I have a new one yet again...please come and sign it ! I have one entry in the new one..yeah ! From a poet friend...good
beginnings. I'm sick again and i'm sick of it...i know i take too many anti-biotics , but..oh ,well. Cheyenne is sick and
so is Wolf...wherever he is. I guess he'll be back in April. You have probably noticed i have not mentioned Bush lately ...i've
tried not to inflict (sp?) my views on anyone...i do tend to tick people off.Hmmm, anyway...but... you don't really believe
this war is the right thing do you ? War is Hell .And why die for oil
? God save us from Bush.Our government feeds us with propaganda , believe it or not...to get what they want. Push for
Peace ! I would go on but i need to medicate and take care of tucking in duties...it's late..late enuff anyway. Do email
me , ok? Later..
2-5-03....Hello.Another day in the life of me...yeah, ho hum and bummer. I guess the email is still not working right
so just e me at californiafreebird@lycos.com okey dokey ? Does email ever work right ? I'd like to hear from you , tell me about yourself , do you have
a website ?Do you write poems ? Are you an artist? Are you an animal activist ? Do you hate my website ? Whatever , just email
me. My Mom is real sick...Mom..get well now !!! Ryn just had a birthday on ground hogs day...happy birthday !!! Wolf is somewhere
on hiatus (huh?) My cat ,Mr.Bishi is asleep and probably dreaming of squirrels. You know...a nap sounds good...later folks.
2-4-2003 Hey ,I'm back...after falling off the face of the earth .Sorry there hasn't been any updates.Perhaps
if you email me and show some interest then i will, eh? The email problem is fixed by the way...better be anyway. Lot's has
happened in these months, many changes and lot's of hoodoo bull crap to deal with.Lost some people i care about.My dear cousin
Jerri died July o2 and it'd been hard to get over.A good neighbour also passed away , Earnst. Other family members have
been in and out of the hospital with various problems. It's always something. I've spent time in Monterey Bay and Bodega Bay
in the past months and love it too much...going back. I've started back to college and working on my photography with my new
Nikon. Been dealing with writer's block but i think that's over. Lot's more going on but you're probably not interested.Thank
you to all who have visited my sites and signed the guestbook,please keep coming back. Let me know what's going on in your
life ,ok? Hopefully i'll get some new junk posted soon..poems and whatever. Sad to hear about Maurice Gibb and Nell Carter
, liked them both. And now the Columbia tragedy .Lot's of people in my thoughts.Hang in there friends.Later.
Mar.18. Hello folks.How was your St. Paddy's Day? Some of us has Irish beer,corned beef and cabbage,Some of us had Dr.Pepper
and green cake.Nuff said. God bless the new week...sigh. We all need a good week, don't we? Come sit by me, i will light up
the peace pipe.
Mar. 15. Hello everyone.I hope your March is going well.You may have missed me lately, you may not have. I have been
busy with life and in poetry forums . I'll be adding new poems here ,in case you are interested. Have you visited the
Coffee Shop Poetics yet? It's almost St. Patrick's Day...have a lovely green one.
Feb.15. A belated happy valentine's day. If you're looking for a gift for me ,how about a new microwave? Mine has
bit the dust.Another One Bites the Dust. Have you gone to Coffee Shop Poetics yet,and read my poems? My name is mispelled
a couple times, but they'll correct it soon. Go on over there.Bye.
Feb.10. Another midnight, a prelude to another sleepless night. I hear the Unsleepers marching. My days have been strained
and pained, i 've been absent. I would like to focus on my work, but i fall short.My brain is on double overload.Life and
its stress. I will work thru this,as i do everything.Some things will sag ,some will come undone.I'm on hold.
Feb. 2. Hmmm.2-2-02 .Interesting. Today is groundhogs day and my best friend's birthday--Happy Birthday ,Ryn! I
hear Phil saw his shadow, did you see yours?
Feb.1. We are out of January,what do you know? Today turned into a warm day here in my little California zone.I have
had a couple of busy days with,as usual only a tidbit of sleep(running on empty). Well, what are your thoughts on Rose Red?The
third part got really rockin in the last half hour or so.I enjoyed it, just hoping to get a really good scare, it's been a
while.Did you hear that Stephen King plans to quit publishing? Bummer. But he's got about 5 books that haven't come
out yet.Well i'm off (but you already knew that), got things to do .Email me.
click here at your own risk.
Jan. 29. Hello everyone, hope you are having some good reads in your life.Better than t.v.! Speaking of t.v.. are
you watching Rose Red? The third part should be good, eh? Better be.
Stephen King's books are great, his adventures in t.v. don't always hit the mark. Although, Rose Red is not a waste of
time, but I want it to knock my knickers off...perhaps part 3 will.I'll let you know.Let me know what you think too.
P.S. Read me at Coffee Shop Poetics.
Clickaclicka.
email me!
Jan.26. People should get their shit together and take some damn Ginko Baloba!!!
Jan. 24. Good day, people, let's hope so anyway. Did you hear Bush last night tell Tom Brokaw that he really likes being
president? I think we need to watch out, he really likes it too much, and that worries me! He's just a good ole boy havin
a good ole time.Yeah.
Jan.23. Would like some feedback on my Alien Poet page.Please email me, it's painless,honest.
Be nice, click here!
Jan. 22. Nothing much today.I heard Peggy Lee and Carrie Hamilton died.Sad. Been a busy day here. .I added Alien
Poet, go there.
Jan. 21. Martin Luther King is being rememberd today.This man changed the world we live in.Thank you MLK, Peace.
Jan. 21. Monday, blue Monday .Home is where the heart aches.An awakening .A jolt, a lightning bolt. Plans to be made,
be afraid, be very afraid. It starts.
Jan. 20. My mystery is unraveling, what about yours? Who do you trust? I would think that one over before answering.
Sunday. Disappointing. I have updated Words. Keep an eye on things, things change.
Email me.
Jan. 19. Saturday is here ,cry another tear in your beer. There are creeps out there who continue to steal and hurt us
and they just don't care.People have no hearts. There's something ugly merging from out of the mist.
Jan.18. Friday is here, where are you ?It was nice weather here today for a change.We seem to be surviving. Ryn is much
better and gone off to gamble.My cousin came home last night and is in a good mood. There's new news in the news today,
but I'm not in the mood. Are you finding the changes here in these pages...are you looking?
Jan.17. Like the new look here? Have you seen the other changes, well...what are you waiting for? There's new stuff in
here if you just look for it...move!!
Email me, why don cha, eh?
Here.
Not here.
Jan.16. Nothing much today,brain is a bit frozen.It will thaw. Got a problem with signing the guestbook? It's not a hard
thing to do,really.You can always email , that's fine.Do something though.
P.S. Look at the changes to some of the page designs.
Email me here.
Jan.15. Too much of Wolf's chili,new shoes and good news.Wolf has made a pot of turkey chili that is actually worth eating,
esp. with grated cheddar cheese and sour cream.Maybe sometime he'll give up the recipe. Went out and got some new shoes that
are better support and will be helpful in driving(the clutch you know).I'm being threatend with a possible brace for my foot...don't
want it.Maybe these shoes will help.I'm in a decent mood today except for having to spend money I can't afford to spend! And
I hear my cousin is coming home from the nursing home, that's great.It may be painful for her to walk, but she'll be happier
at home(and her family will be too). Don't forget to checkout the new pages...you'll have to dig to find them.
And there's some new Words.
Jan.14. It's Monday ,all's not well but not quite undone.There's no real update in me today, just a sore,tired body with
fever and a weary brain that needs sleep.Goodnite,Peace.
Jan 13. It's Sunday evening ,kind of quiet and uneventful (for now).Wolf is out and about and in avoidance.Cheyenne
is still unwell and with burdens to bear.I'm hanging in there(sometimes it's not easy hanging on to that rope).Ryn is ill
with pneumonia and on heavy meds,add this on to her diabetes and MS. Tomorrow is another day..but it's Monday. Does any one
ever look forward to Mondays? I guess we should be thankful to have another day of life. Another day to screw up and be screwed.
Bad me.
Blue Room
Jan.12. Hello.It's Saturday today and maybe it will be a decent day, or another chickenshit day. It's been a bumpy ride
lately(lately !) .Been way sick, had important stuff stolen from my truck, damages to truck,my whole car payment went missing
from it's hiding place, someone I care about didn't make it to a court date and will probably go to jail, my cousin went into
the hospital and ended up in a nursing home for other problems different than why she went to hospital(she seems to not want
to go home),two friends have been messed up by prescricption drugs and one of them so badly he is sueing.Another friend was
rear-ended and has a concusion .My poor sick mother is being hasseled by RadioshitShack who can just go to hell. Happy New
Year folks and buckle up! It really never ends does it? Somehow we manage to muddle through .And I do have a lot of mud on
me!
Go here.
Jan.11. Why do I go out in traffic?People are so rude. My car kept stalling and instead of trying to help me or sympathising
those idiots kept laying on their horns and glaring. Finally a man got out of his car and asked me if I needed help.Bless
him!He was an older gentleman from the Ukraine ,didn't speak English much but he got my car started and kept me from
having a panic attack.There are nice people in the world believe it or not(and alot of damn idiots!).
Jan.10. Did I write that family chicken tacos crap?They were good tho. Oh well. I'm in a black mood right
now,life does this sometimes.But, we must cope, we move on!Yeah. Bush wants more money for more war. Well,I vote no!!
Jan.9. Well,it's wild Wednesday ,what do you know!The family's home, making chicken tacos ...yes, homemade...what else?
My cat is happy, he smells the chicken. We're feeling better and ready for trouble...no...no more trouble!Did you watch Dharma
and Greg last night?It was funny as usual.Email me, if you send money ..make it hundred dollar bills.
Jan.8. Hello people. I'm sitting here with a huge Dr.Pepper and trying hard to get the fuzzies out of my brain but it
seems to be a losing battle.It's the insomniac thing ,it's been worse since I've been sick ...yes, more whining.But why is
it I can't sleep like normal people? It may be because I'm not normal ...you were thinking that weren't you? Well , I like
not being normal but not when it comes to sleeping. My head has the feeling of an insomniac...that certain headache and all.I'm
trying to get through the day, waiting for reports on sick friends and relatives. I've got two cousins that are in and
out of the hospital with various serious problems ..actually more than two...and one of them is in again.In again ,out again.I've
been there and it's a bummer.I hate hospitals...and I've had about 14 operations and can't stand the thought of all that.Well,...I
should go for now ,I'm just rambling as usual.I think I'll go listen to the Cure.That's what we all need.
Jan.7. Ok readers ...I tried to stay away from it but I can't.Bush still is warring over there in Afganistan...will it
ever end? The point has been made ...come on Mr.Bush! You even accomplished a few things over there , surprisingly enough...moved
out the Taliban and ended thier terrible regime(making the women folk mighty happy)and wiped hideouts of the terrorists
..blew em all to hell and other stuff in the process.Osama and his bunch are gone..somewhere...some are in jail ..some may
be dead..Osama 's long gone who knows where..maybe dead.Isn't it time to stop the war over there ? The terrorists recieved
your message loud and clear!!! It's time to stop the destruction and move on to other things.Why make our enemies hate us
even more...you did what you set out to do ...now don't make it worse for us!Enuff is enuff.
Jan.6. Well folks, guess what ? They also took Wolf's wallet ..which we forgot was in my truck. Gone are all his cards,
photos, phone numbers and his brand new drivers license. Big ugly bummer. What a way to start the new year. Along with my
bronchitis I now have tonsilitis and I'm not pleased to say the least.All in all ...a shitload of fun! Did you check out Dangerdigs?
Well, what are you waiting for!
Do it now.
Jan.5. Some creeps broke into my truck and stole my cds and my cell phone.Rotten bastards.I'm not deep pockets so I won't
be replacing them anytime soon. Bummer.What is wrong with people ? Hey you out there , you thieves....are you happy now ?
Luckily not all my cds were out in the truck...but most of the news were.And yeah! Sublime is here...one's gone but
they didn't get this , Sublime with my Santeria on it. People can be sooooo bad. This too I shall recover from(isn't the first
time..better be the last). I am sitting here with insomnia and sneezing my head off at 5:30 a.m. Later friends.
Jan.4, 2002. Wow..2002 .Can you imagine that...no, really..?! We are way up there aren't we? Shit..I feel old..it doesn't
help that I'm a sicko this week. Finally I've got an anti-biotic to take ...just what I need huh..another anti-biotic ...when
the BIG BUG finally arrives I will be totally unprotected and of course will die.Well, shit ...what can I do? Hell..I'm gonna
try to have a happy new year anyway. I could use a get well email. Hint hint.
Poor sicko!
Dec.30. Greetings .New Years Eve is tomorrow and I haven't started listing my resolutions.Maybe that will be my
first resolution ...to list my resolutions. I do plan on attempting to make this web site better...ha! Wish me luck. It would
help if you people would email me with your honest feedback ...what do you like about this site...what do you hate? Where
is Osama? Dead or Alive? Just thought I'd throw that in there. Don't drink and drive ...Happy New Year!
Click me here now!
Dec.26. Christmas is over, are you breathing a sigh of relief? I'm not , cause now it's my birthday. I am not thrilled.
But in a way I'm lucky cause noboby remembers my birthday since it's the day after Christmas,so they don't know I'm another
year older.Only a handful of people know ..they will tease me..if they remember ...the holiday season is a hectic and frenzied
thing after all and brains aren't working right.One thing I don't have to worry about is an embarrasing fuss made over me...don't
you just hate when that happens? No, I'm pretty safe. I got a nice card from my mother ...she always remembers, and never
asks me how old I am. Yeah...so it's my birthday...bah humbug!
Dec. 24. It's 12:30 or thereabouts..(is that a word?) Christmas Eve.It doesn't feel like it...it hasn't felt right in
years...but I suppose that's natural as we get older. But today(23) was good...it was what this season should be..family.We
had two visits today from relatives we don't often see...warm talks and lots of laughs.It brought back memories...and we made
new memories..that's what it's all about. I wish this..and peace , for everyone.
Dec.21 . I went Christmas shopping at one of my favorite shops today, Rock Universe... great rock merchandise...they
were busy like most stores are this late date...everybody's trying to find the right gift.I have to drive a ways to get there
and the traffic was awful ...and in my mind are these terrible accidents that happened lately..it can freak you out.People
are in such a hurry they lose whatever good sense they started out with. In a hurry to spend money?Figure that one out.I
want to get there before they close but I'm in no hurry..I don't have a death wish at the moment.I said a prayer, it's mandatory
when going out in no man's land..and I made it there and back safely.I spent maybe an hour or so looking around ...trying
to find just the right gift.I was getting a little frustrated and I mentioned it to someone who says...oh, just grab anything..if
they don't like it they can return it..why hassle over it.The thought did appeal to me but I decided to find something he
would really like and I did.But I think next year it will be gift certificates...the frazzle and dazzle of this shopping season
is a health hazard!Why do we put ourselves through this?We should really spend more time with family and friends ..that's
a much better gift.Not that I'm against giving gifts..no way and I love to get them.But I miss spending time with those I
love and making the memories that last.What ever happened to baking something nice(of course I burn the cookies) and
taking it to special friends or family and spending happy hours together ? Nobody has time for things like that anymore.Or
maybe it's just they don't make the time.Perhaps I'll do my Christmas shopping a few months early next year and make sure
I have time for what really counts...making memories with those I love.So what if I burn the cookies I bake ...it's the thought
that counts .I just think we've strayed too far from the old fashioned Christmas thing...we've forgotten the truly important
ingredients and replaced them with the razzle dazzle frazzle.We're in a big damn hurry and can't seem to slow down long
enough to smell the cinnamon. I'm done.
Dec.20. I've been on a bit of a roller coaster ride the past few days trying to get in to update this site. Today I thought
I'd go bananas trying over and over to get in.Finally I'm in.By now I'm not sure why I wanted in...which page was my update
for...did I have an awesome thought or poem or...well, who knows! It's gettin near 3 a.m. and now I've got a headache
and I'm hungry..I'm sure you people don't give a flying donkeys ass about this but you now know. I thought about doing a political
newsy update thing but I really don't give a shit right now.I'm tired of political crap and never wanted anything to do with
it anyway.I don't like Bush and not in the mood to write about him for sure.I'm not a news writer and am not going to
keep you updated on the news..there are other sites for that. Sometimes I try to please but not always..it's my site , and
I write what I want to write about.(whatever I'm in the mood to write)But not always when I want, getting in here is becoming
a pain ...big friggen pain.But I'm in now...so, ok..I'm happy...but I can rant if I want to.I'm not a good news type writer,
I just like to get my opinions across.My site is not perfect but it's mine.I am going to try to remember to date things from
now on..but we'll see.I just thought I'd mention that. Later.
George Harrison, the youngest of the Beatles, died last night (Nov.29) of brain cancer. He was 58. We will miss
George , many of us grew up on The Beatles music and feel as though a member of our family has gone. George wrote a few
great songs while part of the Fab Four and many after he became a solo artist. One of my all time favorite songs was by
George, "Something...(in the way she moves...)." Remember ? A great love song. Thanks, George...for that and the other songs...and
for inspiring all those young fans to learn guitar ...some who grew up to be well known guitarists ....we won't forget you.

Thank you to all the heroes of September 11 .

After September 11th
