Story's From the City~Tale's From the Sea

An AOL AWARD! Yep.... I have kept a journal, not an 'everyday-gotta-write' type thing, but just somewhere I can go write when in the mood! [encouragement from the other journal people helps too, and I receive a lot!] So my last blog I did, [slaved over! lol] was the Springsteen blog-very similar to the one I did here, but better, and I received so many comments and e mails, most positive, but all welcomed. Now, I do have my steady readers; the journal's I have been reading right from the beginning, and a few new, and those people deserve these little awards, they put a lot of time and effort into it, I only do that once in a blue moon! I mean, who wants to read about my problems, day after day? No one. Even I don't want to read about someone's daily routine, and all their problems, each and every day, never- mind writing my own! I like different. And that's why I switch up, one day I'll feel like writing about Chris, then I'll hear a Dylan song, and I'll write about the song itself, or a memory it might have stirred in me. On this particular day I heard 'Brilliant Disguise,' and was moved my the Memory, so I sat down and wrote. Didn't really care who was going to like it, cause I enjoyed writing the thing! Hey, anything that can get my mind off of the News and all of my aches and pains-I'm for! Count me in! I'm sick of now. That LP brings me back to THEN. Then-when Christopher was alive, and we were in his room watching video's together; Him making fun of Springsteen's gruff voice, and the inability to understand what he is saying! LOL He'd imitate, and exaggerate the lyrics, even stuffing paper in his mouth, to give the effect Bruce sang with marbles in his mouth! LOL Ahhh...he'd surly make me laugh.



back then....Back to then when Jorge was alive, and we were all together, back then, when we thought [i did anyway] we had all the time in the world to live and love.

back then.....Back before I was sick. Before all the blood tests,injections,exams and all the poking, prodding, the piss tests, the mammogram's,the pap smears,the questions,the paper work, blood work, medications, the medications...more blood work, did I mention medication? and this is all in a three week period of time!  Then it starts all over again!      take   me  back   Back when all was good, when we were young, healthy, happy, crazy, wild, unafraid,unscarred,TOGETHER, sitting in the Stone Pony, feelin' no pain, screaming, BRUUUUCCCCCE!!!!



Now here comes the hard part: voting five more journal's to  receive their ROCKIN' BLOGGER AWARD! It can be a male too-and I have one in mind! LOL   I was contemplating not to even take part, don't want to 'step on anyone's toes,' or in other words, don't wanna piss anyone off! And man, the chicks over here can be catty! lol But I have 'met' some awful cool folk over here, I'm sure I can name 5 pretty easily. Just give me a couple of days.


Oh yeah-thanks Sassy! Let me post exactly what she said, when announcing I was picked:Dianne of Story's From the city~Tales From the Sea--- sometimes she does not have regular entries, but once she puts her mind to it look out! ;-) Her latest is about Bruce Springsteen; this piece is well written, informative, bound to interest fans and "non plus on Bruce" people both, includes tender lyrics and through insight into the mind and heart of the boss from NJ. Also of note is her courage and perseverance given that her son took his own life shortly after his HS graduation. You rock Dianne!



So, there you have it-boring stuff, huh? Well, not to me-cause they think  I ROCK!
