Nancy Grace

On Nancy Grace's show on CNN Headline News, you are able to call in to her show to ask her questions about stories she is covering. Well, last night I got in again. I was so happy to get in again to ask her a question. How awesome!

How Liberal Or Conservative Are You?

This is another of my boyfriend's poems

When You're Away

Clouds linger on through the blanket of blue
Patches of sun rays seep on through
Still I see you, hear your voice...
"When you're away"
Beneath my heart, there you lie
The beats and the waves
Pulsing and throbbing
Blood pumping, red as my vision
And there you lie, with the words that still cling...
"When you're away"
Stars in the sky, so true
Self-luminous celestial bodies, yes- you
Gases and gravity
Energy resurfacing
Silver spirals and pulsars
And as stationary as we may seem to be
Still I feel you, hear you say...
"When you're away"

This is one of my boyfriend's poems

Always and Forever

For you I'd make the world turn,
For you my heart will always yearn.
For you I'd give my life at will,
For, you are the one who makes my heart stand still.
Without you, my life is dull,
Your smile warms my deepest soul.
Your laugh is like a thousand bells,
And when you laugh... my heart doth swell.
For every wave that finds the shore,
My heart loves you a thousand times more.
For every bird that sings it's song,
My love for you grows deep and strong.
Always and forever, I'll love you till I die,
And to you, my darling, I cannot lie.
For you, my heart, I'll always endeavor
To love you now, always... and forever

ART FOR JUSTICE AND VICTIMS UNITED

Asking for good karma my way

I wouldn't normally put something personal like this out there for everyone to see but here is what I'm dealing with today, aside from the normal drama.
Today when my youngest daughter and I woke up, I saw her eyes and the left one was red and swollen. Now, to give you a little history, in case some of you didn't know, my youngest one has had five cornea transplants and she's only three years old. She has had two severe eye infections. Now when I saw this eye today, it looked like either she has another infection or the cornea is rejecting. I really hope it's only an infection because we can fight that with strong antibiotics. She has progressed so well in the past year, I'd hate to have another setback if the cornea is rejecting. I've already contacted her eye specialist and we are monitoring her eye.
So all I'm asking is that you send good karma her way, or pray for her, or however you send good thoughts. It certainly would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all for reading.

Honey....

Honey, I love you, I miss you, I need you, I want you here with me.

Just thought I'd tell you that I'm lonely without you tonight and you're too far away for me to hold you tight.

Can't sleep

Got my honey on my mind.
He can't get online.
Fiddlesticks.....
I love you sweetheart!

Red Sux Joke

Three baseball fans were on their way to a game when one noticed a foot sticking out of the bushes by the side of the road.
They stopped and discovered a nude female dead drunk.
Out of respect and propriety, the Cubs fan took off his cap and placed it over her right breast.
The Yankee fan took off his cap andplaced it over her left breast.
Following their lead, the Red Sox fan took off his cap and placed it over her crotch.
The police were called and when the officer arrived, he conducted his inspection.
First, he lifted up the Cubs cap, replaced it, and wrote down some notes.
Next, he lifted the Yankee cap, replaced it, andwrote down some more notes.
The officer then lifted the Red Sox cap, replaced it, then liftedit again, replaced it, lifted it a third time, and replaced it one last time.
The Red Sox fan was getting upset and finally asked, "What are you, a pervert or something? Why do you keep lifting and looking, lifting and looking?"
"Well,"said the officer, "I am simply surprised. Normally when I look under a Red Sox hat, I find an asshole."

This will drive you crazy

I love my boyfriend very much...

...but this evening he made me very angry with him. Normally I would blow it off and chalk it up to him being irritated by his current situations. He says he's not checking up on me. I tell him I would never jeopardize our relationship. He's going to have to give me a chance to be trusted. If there's no trust in a relationship, then what's the point in that relationship? I trust him fully. No questions. I don't care if he has female friends. I don't care if he hangs out at a female friend's house. I trust him enough to know he would never hurt me. So why doesn't he give me that same respect? I love him very much. The one thing that bothers me the most is that when I called him to confront him, I was taking my anger out on him but he left me a disturbing message. I don't like being angry, especially at him. Then to top it off, I didn't even tell him I loved him at the end of the phone call. Well, I hope we can get past this and move on. I don't like having to defend myself, but I will prove myself if that's what it takes for him to trust me like I do him. I love him dearly and I would do anything for him.

Ode to "24"

IT COULD BE VERSE

Itzin offers his poetic reflection on President Logan's epic ''24'' hours

Courtesy of EW

THE PREZ

I am the President of the United States,

And no one dare say me nay.

I am the President of the United States,

If only for a very long day.

I set the wheels in motion,

I am the primo mobile,

I am the President of the United States,

So get the hell out of my way.

The day began so hopefully,

A treaty on the table,

Then Russian rebels intervened,

And there begins our fable.

The plan seemed such a good one,

Gain a foothold in the East,

We could stake a claim to foreign oil,

Since on fuel we do feast.

But the best-laid schemes Oft gang agley,

Once wisely it was said,

And barely five minutes into the day,

We were bringing out our dead.

David Palmer fell fast and first,

A sniper's bullet took him down,

And at Logan's Retreat there was Chaos! Chaos!

''The Russian President has come to town.''

Mike Novick had no time to grieve

His former partner's parting,

Though wanting to, he could not leave;

An ugly day was starting.

And Bauer's up in Bakersfield,

A new life undertaken,

And learning of his old friend's fate,

It's to his core he's shaken.

Then Tony's loss,''Michelle! Michelle!''

Her death our loss as well,

And what this means we cannot tell,

But surely the road leads to hell.

A conspiracy is under way,

Of that we have no doubt,

How high up has infection spread?

By day's end we will find out.

The first man implicated Is Walt Cummings, Logan's friend.

He's broken bad by Bauer,

And left hanging in the end.
And terrorists and sentox gas,

Civilian deaths that come to pass,

President Logan's cross and crass,

The man's behaving like an ass.

And Martha is Cassandra,

The First Lady prophesies,

In Denmark something's rotten,

And the air it stinks of lies.

Oh, the loyal soldiers marching,

They're Mike Novick, Aaron Pierce,

Bill Buchanan, Chloe, Curtis,

They're devoted, they are fierce.

And our world is whirling, whirling,

In a maelstrom we are swirling,

And Death's finger beckons, curling,

And time's clock face spins, it's twirling.

And Death it stalks a shopping mall,

Lord, is there no safe place?

No airport safe, no public space,

We cannot see the terror's face.

So we play the game ''Who do you trust?''

Jack Bauer, Yes? That's all.

And even there at CTU,

They're heading for a fall.

For they are breached by family ties,

(McGill does love his sister),

And to her loving Lynn she lies,

And we scream,''Watch it, mister!''

And more death, more death, more friends gone,

There's Tony! Edgar! Stricken!

And Lynn McGill, heroically,

And viewers' pulses quicken.

And we watch Logan sacrifice,

(He and Novick on their knees),

The Suvarovs and his Mad Wife,

''The country's good'' is all he sees.

But failure follows hard upon,

The Good Guys save the day!

Or ''save the moment,'' and terror moves on,

There still is hell to pay.

There's Bierko, yes? And Henderson.

Now Terror has a Face.

And if one falls, it matters not,

Another takes his place.

Inexorable, inevitable,

It seems we have no choice,

And all the witnesses, safe at home,

All cry out with one voice:

''Don't ask Charles Logan! He can't decide!

He's Weak and spineless, doubting.''

When systems fail, as they have to do,

He's silent...then he's shouting.

He blames his minions, lashes out,

As things go from worse to worser.

Look deep down in those darting eyes,

You'll see there the precursor.

And CTU's a foreign land,

That Woman at the helm,

And the Sullen Snake is at her side,

CTU's a brand new realm.

For the best-laid plans turned out a mess,

They crumbled fast beneath the stress,

And people have to die, I guess,

There's nothing more, and nothing less.

A tape exists, incriminating,

And Evelyn's to blame,

And what becomes of her and hers,

Is to the President's eternal shame.

His sins, they stack up higher still,

Of omission and commission,

At the well of fate he drinks his fill,

''Bad things happen,'' with his permission.

But the Country's Avenging Angel,

Yes? Is hard upon his trail.

Jack Bauer seeks revenge, no less,

And we pray he will not fail.

The pendulum swings back and forth,

Jack's lost it, now it's found,

And Logan contemplates his end,

He hears the baying of the hound.

Palmer, Cummings, Heller; dead,

The blood of these upon his head,

And other innocent souls have fled,

Oh God, that he'd died in their stead.

But for him, there is no remedy,

For him there's no release,

An eleventh-hour reprieve arrives,

So for him there is no peace.

The tape is gone, he's safe again,

But do you think he's safe, my friend?

His road is straight, it does not bend,

He moves towards a quite certain end.

For this is 24. Indeed.

The day moves with increasing speed.

The drama has a built-in need:

It needs to see the villain bleed.

So Jack and Charles triangulate,

The Hunter seeks his prey.

These two are sure to share a fate

In the last hour of this day.

And so, at last, they're face to face,

And accusations fly.

Jack works on him as Time does race,

Guilt brings a tear to Logan's eye.

But in the end it's not to be,

Jack cannot kill his man.

The Secret Service sets him free.

And we're on to another plan...

The Woman whom he loves and hates,

She sets to work, she seals their fates,

Like spiders who consume their mates,

Displaying oh so human traits.

The pain, the pain is everywhere;

Betrayal, loss of trust.

The King done in by his Lady Fair,

Done in by love and lust.

Our day is almost over,

As the noose gets tight and tighter,

But Logan struggles til the end,

For the President is a fighter.

We watch the limo roll away,

But hope is there inside.

He lives to scheme another day,

He will nurse his wounded pride.

And Jack? He's fine, he's happy,

For his Audrey he has found,

But in our hearts, the warning bell,

Alas, he's China bound.

But stay tuned, folks, six months from now

It all begins again,

Day Six will spin out, hour by hour…

I can hardly wait til then.

Itzin/Logan
