Somewhere beyond cold earth and dry sea,
swim molecules of something we intended to be.
Two halves of one perfect yet incomplete whole,
with infinite equations undisclosed by the soul.
Somewhere concealed under what was and what is,
lies daybreak and darkness within hers, without his.
Somewhere between should I? , or could I? , decide,
dwells proof beyond doubt, that time is not on our side.

recently, i'm looking for an inexpensive tripod to practice the bluring and panning effects.
Sunpak is considered the best brand to me for now.
I want to know which of the following model is the best.

SUNPAK 8001 UT-B medium duty TRIPOD
SUNPAK 9002 DX medium duty TRIPOD
SUNPAK Platinum Plus 5800D Medium Duty Tripod

since sunpak's website does not have the description for all model, i have no idea which one is considered the best.

Whats your calling in life, and when and how did you know? Mine is taking care of my kids and the elderly. They both are so natural to me, that I wouldn't know what to do with myself if I didn't have either.

Do you love someone far away
Even though you might never see the day
When flesh collides in warm embrace
And eyes meet outside of photographs

Do you fear the words in writing
Even though all along you’ve been fighting
To keep them wrapped under like and want
And other synonyms of love

Do you fathom the thought of disregard
For consequence, what ifs, and the whole nine yards
To go in blindly with eyes wide open
Just hoping the chemistry’s there

Do you love someone far away
Enough to tell another you cannot stay
For your true love waits on the southern line
With a great big heart wide open

Do you ever think if you followed your heart
Instead of your head from the very start
You’d be writing of love instead of longing
For someone far away

I have posted this question in many forms and forums. It has been a few months now that I have added a great number of photos to flickr. My Yahoo 360 has the last six showing on my top page. Oops! No it doesn't. It shows some very old pictures I chose to get rid of because I didn't want to spend another month looking at them on my page. Now there is only the message there that they were deleted. This is no fun. Yahoo has been working the problem for months and frustrated too.

This quest has become indefinite.

In the Hooper painting Nighthawks there is an dark store across the street. In the otherwise empty front window is an object on a small raised platform that is in the shadow of the window frame. It is the only object left in the window? What does it look like to you?

I promise myself to talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person I meet.
to make all my friends feel that there is something worthwhile in them.
to look at the sunny side of everything and make my optimism come true.
to think only of the best, to work only for the best and to expect only the best.
to be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as I am about my own.
to forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
to wear a cheerful expression at all times and give a smile to every living creature I meet.
to give so much time to improving myself that I have no time to criticize others.
to be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
to think well of myself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud words, but in great deeds.
to live in the faith that the whole world is on my side, so long as I am true to the best that is in me.

Sept, 17,2007


Roaring thunder in the distance
Drip drop drip drop goes the colorless rain
As the gray takes over the sun
A tear to wipe off my face
You said you would always be
The distance dust I still see
The clawing and crushing at my aching heart
Helpless defeated I fall apart
Consumed by the insanity in you
To get rid of the sanity in me
Washed away with every drop
Wishing to cease to breathe again
No longer found is me
The end is near and I slowly see it coming
Where are you ?
Who will mend my shattered heart?
For as a child I once believed but now
I cannot seem to understand
Pain,
Anger,
Fear,
You let it be!!

Can love grow in strength if it is just a relationship with one person, if it has become more and more sexual and bodily? Is there a possibility of growth, if it is only an excitement?

I am writing a YA novel and I've almost finished with the first draft. I know I still have some editing of my own to do, but at what point to get need a professional editor? I've heard get an agent first and then they will help get an editor set up. I've also heard you have to get an editor before you start sending your book out looking for an agent. I've heard editors are really expensive if you get them on your own (which is scary because I don't have a ton of money to spend on it), as well as you can find editors at fairly reasonable rates. Can somebody clear this up for me?
