Break Time

Posted by: branwynne77 on: January 28, 2008

Time is ephemeral
Fleeting at best
Slipping through fingers
That wrinkle with Age
Live life to the fullest
Smile as wisdom flows
Through your veins
The best is yet to come
Fretting about things not done
Is futile and self defeating
Take cheer in accomplishments
And learn from failures that hurt
–Me
I’m taking a week off to recharge and focus on my job.  I will still read blogs, [...]

Goodbye, Heath.  By all accounts, you were a sweet and generous man.  You left too soon. 

5 Pounds Gone

Posted by: branwynne77 on: January 25, 2008

I lost 5 pounds in two weeks.  So what did I do to celebrate?  I had a grilled cheese sandwich with curly spicy fries.  It was great, but I probably over did it.  Here I thought I wanted to lose weight.
Yes. I know.  I blew it.  Blew my diet and clean livin’ right out of [...]

People are People….Why can’t I shoot ‘em?

My druggie half-sister is battling mental illness, either from biological or chemical causes. In fact, it’s probably a little of both. I’m not sure if the drugs were more to blame, but that’s neither here or there. (My dad seems to have a touch of mental illness too, but it’s harmless.) Every faithful reader knows [...]

Blast From the Past

Posted by: branwynne77 on: January 20, 2008

I have been just so busy lately with overtime and trying to exercise and eat better…..so here is a blast from the past.  It’s one of my favorite posts, I have to say.  And I added some of the comments.  Feel free to pick them apart.
Truth is a matter of perspective–a thought I always keep [...]

Sex

Posted by: branwynne77 on: January 17, 2008

It’s an evocative word, conjuring primal instincts and the drive to procreate the next generation.
I know it’s something that I want…but not enough to let someone in. Not enough to let down my guard. Of course, it’s not like I hang around with a lot of “potential” mates, but even if I did….I doubt I’d [...]

Poor Brit

Posted by: branwynne77 on: January 16, 2008

I happen to think that if the paparazzi do not leave Britney Spears alone, something Bad is going to occur. Like she’ll either hurt herself or others to get away from their intense scrutiny.
I don’t happen to be a big fan of her music, but I know when I see a person in trouble.  And [...]

NOOOOOO!

Posted by: branwynne77 on: January 15, 2008

My original thought when I saw this picture was, “Who on earth would let Steven Seagal make another flick?”
Then I noticed the skull. My second thought was, “Why in hell would they cast the ever so untalented Mr. Seagal as the Punisher? Oh God, WHYYYYY???”
I’m sure that my wounded cry echoed far and wide through [...]

Everyday is Exactly the Same

Posted by: branwynne77 on: January 13, 2008

I believe I can see the future because I repeat the same routine
I think I used to have a purpose and then again that might have been a dream
I think I used to have a voice now I never make a sound
I just do what I’ve been told I really don’t want them [...]

Silence is Golden…Duct Tape is Silver

Posted by: branwynne77 on: January 11, 2008

I love the stillness in my house. It’s quiet and soothing–it lets thoughts creep in and nourish my intellectual curiosity. It also restores a sense of order to my soul.
Every day is full of noise, of life, of work. All the time I hear the clackity clack of my fellow workers feverishly slaving away, or [...]
