20230305, Second Round

 The temperatures that got displaced,
you know you only brush me up with tears of pain, 
I wish it didn't have to be that way.

I think you were a dream, not that tomorrow is as big as yesterday's thoughts.

I want to let go of theis [sic] pain in my heart, but I continue to breath you in, through my guitar.

I only wanted to touch your soul, and now I dream of another day.  

Temperatures that got displaced.

The temperatures that got displaced,
you know you only brush me up with tears of pain, 
I wish it didn't have to be that way.


20230305 thoughts fleeting floating spitting spraying falling clogging blocking the thoughts

 I think when doors are close where airways should flow, is a bad thing.
Talking over someone is not how you get to know "them" enough for "them" to care about you!

Advise to a friend, was to write.  Daily, write.  I've forgotten what that is like.  zip that lip..

a COPY OF THE FULL OBIT IS NOW FLOATING IN SPACE, like that flame that flickers as the the breeze blows the mindless chatter...    

its breath boughs.

You're from a world apart. Different in every way.  The strings draw you in, as if a web... strength that can be broke... strong but delicate.  

Guilty

Auto Writing:
Sorry only means one thing, you wont be there until I get back, you only brush me up with tears of pain, obligation that holds those tethered hearts tearing, tears of pain, it has to be that way!

So you move forward, only game you play, temperatures that got displaced, you only brush me up with tears of pain.  I WISH IT DIDN'T HAVE TO BE THIS WAY!

20230304


Today, as I was scrolling through TikTok, if found an artist that I didn't think i'd ever heard before until I hear them singing Say You Wont Let Go. Demchuk.

I don't know the name of the song that was on TikTok that got me all creamy about them!?

Have you ever written your own obituary?
I work in death, and it saddens me when a whole living person is reduced to pen and paper, or type text on a screen and there is not much said about them, or nothing but a name and date from the start to end of their life! Printing Obituaries has become too uneconomical!  Sadly... 

The people inheriting should have SOMETHING to say!

Here's mine, as of today! Some names have been changed to protect the innocent.  

Andrea KVH Dixon

197*1011- 20230304

Born on Fort Carson, Colorado Springs, CO on October 11 197* to RKVance (B) and PAHVNies (L).  She came in like a lamb with little more than a sneeze.  

Her parents raised her in Colorado Springs CO with her brother RKVance until they divorced.  From then she desperately wanted to escape the sadness the enveloped her home!  She then moved to KCMO then LGMT, CO.

She attended Chamberlain Elementary, Gorman Middle, Platte County High School and graduated from Skyline Highschool.  Her freshman year in Platte City MO she started working as soon as she was legal for Sonny Hill Motors; her Junior year in high she worked for Wendys Old Fashioned Hamburgers to help raise her first born with her high school sweetheart and her paternal parents and continued attending school until she graduated.  After high school she moved on to: NeoData; Shopko; S* & S* PC nka S* P* A* & W* P.C. and worked for them 28 years January 20.

AK became pregnant at the young age of 16 and gave birth to her first born son on March 14 199*.  MMD was the savior to her young life and helped her have light in what she thought was a dark world.  They grew up together.  She married her high school sweetheart JLDixon on April 9, 199* and they had two more children, on November 2, 199* and finally February 8, 200*.  AK was often teased that LAD was her favorite.  AJD was her best friend.  They shared many loves and losses together!  

JLD and AK divorced on December 28, 200*.  She continued to meet new people to see if she could find the one that wouldn't give up on her.  She had a 7 year stint with RJN, whom she had known from her childhood, as they were PenPals from her 6th grade spring break to her sophomore year in high school. She met him visiting with D&GV's children, and while attending Alamosa High with their middle daughter, her cousin DVH.  

She then met the love of her life in 2012 and they shared a short two and a half years together until April 20, 201* when she suffered the darkest of all dark times of her life, losing the love of her life to those voices fighting in our heads! Seven months later, she met JWH who suffered through 4 years of her broken heart.  They separated when his heart was calling to his children and he needed his family and he relocated to WV!  They remained friends to the end.

As she aged and life changed she held on tight with hope for true love.  Many people touched her life and helped her learn valuable lessons.  Some hard, others a little easier.  

Andrea loved her family far and wide.  She wished she had more time with all of them!

Her greatest accomplishment were her children!

Andrea is preceded in death by per precious Grandparents ADVance; Grandfather PSHurtubise, Grandmother PJHurtubise; Aunt EKHurtubise; Uncle JRHurtubise; and precious life partner ADW.

She is survived by her parents: RKVance (Betty); PANies (Lloyd); Brothers RKVance and JLNies; three wonderful children: MMDixon (B); LADixon (E) and AJDixon (M); step Children: BMWhite (J); SNWhite; and her grandchildren: ARSampson; AARodriguez; JRodriguez; adopted family LContreras and MLGreenwood and Aunts, cousins and friends.

Light Years 20230304

 Demchuk listening:
Auto Writing:
New life, old roads.
Flames flicker and dance in their own bright.  
Swaying, breathing, dancing in their light.
Music lifts our souls and slams our bodies.
Wishing not to be blown out, caught in the rain. 
Tears of our Mother as she's watching,
listening to the happiness, embrace the sad darkness.
Swaying in my breeze,
the flames flicker and dance in their own light.
Facing this situation, swaying in my breeze,
Dancing in their light.

20201219

My purpose has expired. 

I'm not needed anymore. 

The energy has changed as I struggle to breath. 

All of the pronouns are I, me and my while my heart said we, us, ours.  

I gave you my life jacket helping you in your struggles. Kicking and paddling to push you along to the next tier, step up.  Then you finally realized you could touch the bottom and just stood up.

You see me see drowning and tell me you don't want to lose me but you don't reach out to me to help keep me from going under! The weight of Me holding you down while that life jacket keeps you afloat.  

Silence rings out as seconds turn to minutes, minutes to hours, hours to days, days to weeks, weeks to months and before you know it the thoughts are gone and the memory has faded. 

The importance of used moments shredded. 

The stepping stone used without a thought of the cold darkness that surrounds its fractured soul! 

Gasping for that last breath wishing once again this wasn't my life, wasted. 

Last respects that fall on deaf ears as ashes blow in the wind. 

Tomorrow didn't come and what was left for later is forgotten and cold.

I'VE FORGOTTEN

 FORGOTTEN

Somewhere along the way I forgot who I am!  No, I don't think I've ever really known who I am!

DISCLAIMER:

I am who I am, I'm tired of giving myself to people that pretend to do for me!  I AM TIRED OF BEING STUPID!  I am not fighting for me or for you at this point!

I just let shit happen without thinking how this is going to effect me in 5 or 7 years!  I'm sick of seeing my face getting old and my heart hurting like it did when I was 8.

Looking for love in all the wrong places. I think I've forgotten myself, but in reality, I've never been myself!  That was suppressed so long ago.  I want so bad some positive attention.  Negative is better than none... I've been told.

Tears flow down my face, I will be 46 in a week and a day.  In numerology 1.  

I need to get the fuck out of this house, but I started drinking, so I better not leave this house!

The people I spend my time on have no thought for me, when they deceit me.  I deceit me! 



Saturday, March 21, 2020

THANK GOD!


Words flowed from me like I needed to get them out!

I've harassed my daughter so much that she fled from the house.  I am watching her move on.  I hope she stays safe, and takes care of her temple.

I MUST BE NEEDING TO LET THE SPIRIT FLOW.  The words need to flow!  I'm tired of feeling hopeless.  I'M NOT HOPELESS, I'm am tired.  I need to rest.  I think my mind is going crazy.  I long to hear the voice of those that I thought LOVED me!  WHY DID YOU GO?

The scream of silence.  It is so!


Erie TIMES


Wuhan market outbreak, covid-19.  quarantine, what has the world come to?

why are we so afraid!  THE PLANET IS OVER POPULATED.  better make sure you have your will up to date so that if you go, your wishes are carried through!\

I watched that nasty video of the Wuhan Market!  HOW DARE YOU PEOPLE!  WTF is wrong with you?

I've been home a whole 24 hours, and I'm ready to flee the house! FLEA, I put... damned gnats!

Drink HOT fluids they tell you!  the Covid19 is a refrigerated monster, that dies in the HEAT!

I woke up wanting to hear from my boyfriend.  Not a word.  I call him,, he's at the grocery store.  WHY DOESN'T HE CALL ME?  WHY AM I MAKING THE EFFORT? WHY AM I SO NEEDY?

I need to find myself, and like that person looking back at me in all the mirrors handing in my house!  LIKE WAY MORE THAN 13.

I feel like I'm falling in a rabbit hole of darkness!  I need to get out of the house tomorrow and in the sun.  I wonder... if the heat theory is true?

I haven't published on Blogspot for a minute!  I miss that I used to write.  I truly wish that words would flow from my fingers, so the thoughts can get out of my head, and quit driving me crazy, making me have short term memory loss!

I sincerely apologize to anyone that i have cut with my sharp thoughts that cut through my fingers.  I CANNOT JUDGE LESS I BE JUDGED.

Remember, the Earth rotates around the sun, in the solar system, in the galaxy, in the Universe, where our celestial family live!

#TheYearTwoThousdandNineteen - JWH & AKVHDNW

When you meet someone and they change your world.  Maybe not over night, but they help heal a broken heart, or help you be a better person.  When they fill a void with light and hope instead of darkness and despair.

HOLD TIGHT TO THAT WHICH YOU LOVE AS IT CAN ALL BE GONE TOMORROW!

How to add a photo after you haven't played with a platform, in some years and years...
Funny how you lose something you don't use.

The Rangers were herding the humans...
Of course this is prior to activity which happened shortly after this.  At one point part of the herd was trying to cross the road and the humans had to be herded out so they could cross the road....

20190627.3

I remember when I used my blog as a line of myself.  I have a LOT of CRAP out there! 

THOUGHTS running through my fingers, not really of my brain...When I take the numbing drugs to push down the things I don't want to remember, but remember when you aren't taking the drugs you are OKAY.

20190627.2

Part 2

When you think you are second best.  You get into your head and let the shit stutter... stuck on a word or action? 

Listening to in the background for tear the person down that is just LIKE YOU!

Remember, only you can hear your thoughts.... shit, did I write that out loud?

WIRE TAPE THE PHONES AND FIND OUT!

Here comes the HEAT!
Please God, don't melt our region.  Let us stay cool for a summer.  I'll take the rain... 

The above picture from 9news.com, says that the western slope will be in the mid 70s low 80s and the eastern slope/plains is going to be blazin in the 90s.  maybe a high 80 here and there.

Someone Needs To Publish! 03092019

Once I hit publish, that should be it!

I'm so wishy-washy.

I want to feel the spirit moving through my hands.  I want to feel the warmth of the fingers typing on the keys and spreading the vocal vibrations that come through them.

Everybody with BIG EYES are watching.

10 of clubs (10) - TEN: Completion (or new beginnings, or new endings, too)
      CLUBS - (pentacles, discs, coins)  Clubs may be a call to action in the realm of creativity, business, intellect, relationships.  They represent action, adventure, risk-taking, competition. Can also refer to physical or spiritual energy, inspiration, intuition, ambition, and growth.

6 of Hearts (6) - SIX: Harmony (or the lack of or yearning for it, but sixes are rarely negative).
     HEARTS - (Cups)[Emotions, feelings, relationships] Heart cards cover not just love but the whole range of human emotion, from despair and powerlessness to contentment and joy.  Hearts are very often also represent relationships because relationships re-gender the full range of emotions.

2 of Hearts (2) - TWO: Balance (or delays, waiting)
     HEARTS - (Cups) (same suite reinforce prior card of same caliber.)   [Emotions, feelings, relationships] Heart cards cover not just love but the whole range of human emotion, from despair and powerlessness to contentment and joy.  Hearts very often also represent relationships because relationships regender the full range of emotions.

10-6-2.  The past has concluded, whilst the present harmony seeks balance and reward.

012719x4

Do you know ANDREA?

Watching Ghost Adventures, s17 episode about True Nightmares and I'm halfheartedly listening, while I talk about clowns on FB, they are talking about Clowns, and I hear my name....
Funny how things run together.

I've had people tell me the shit that I do is weird.  Cool.

When you think it is the end, it is only the beginning.

Time for another deep breath of AIR.

You should see my cat.  Lying on the bed next to me.  His name is Charlie Raven.  He is a tuxedo cat with white whiskers that protrude from his eyes and cheeks.   I just found out that he likes to run on my hand under the blanket.
I wish I was good and moving billard balls.  lol


01272019x3

When the energy starts to come and you have to quick publish before you do something stupid and delete what you were typing, then lose your train of thought, and remember, it wasn't your train of thought but the words flowing like water.  trick trip drip flip dip sip.

012719x2

Fill the lungs with AIR...

FB, such a time waster.  I can't shit without looking at the dang app, but seems I've been holding onto that stinking device since I was in my early 30s. 15 year addiction.   As opposed to a 25 year addiction.

Can you change your life?  Can you change your habits?  Can you change the world?

Ice-burgs melting and floating with the tides, turning in the wind.  Sailing across sees[seas], reflections of the skies[waters].

Listing[Listening] to the spirits walking the Earth; riding light to and from the Heavens above.  Light travel.  The step into the next relms is a speck of light away.

Listening to shows[TV] can lead you to believe that which is not really there, but thought of in the minds eye.  Can you see the past, the present, the future; the stars, the Heavens, the Hells, that other's walk on this Earth?

I hear the clicking of my fingers and wonder what I will read a few weeks, hours, months from now... later?  Lead yourself away from your own thoughts and feelings and let that which is standing at the door walk in, without harm.  Flow over the buttons that are strung to your mind and heart.

Things you've done or seen as a child.  Things you've done.  Have you been proud of those things?  Have you repented your sins?  Judge NOT LES YE BE JUDGED....

I wonder if anyone out in the UNIVERSE is thinking of me.  Have you really been abducted/[obstructed (blocking your own flow)] or are you telling that as a story to stump another[other] MFer[s]?

Accidentally hitting buttons, messing with things, so my story may not be laid out as I want[ed]... as I flow[ed].  Thoughts spreading to the fingers without thought.  Can it be automatic, as it may seem?

HOUSE[s]
I bought a house in my dreams the other day... actually a couple of houses.  Am I becoming a slumlord in the REM?  One nice and new without any issues; and the other with plaster walls falling apart, leaks from dilapidation of the exterior which bled in to the shell.  Air being sucked through the old fireplace as if standing in the chest of a beast sucking the air through its lungs.  Possibly purchasing sight unseen, impulse buying?

If I could show pictures I would, but they don't have a recording device for dreams just yet.  I wonder how I could market this and make it so?  How could I capture images from behind the eye lids?  HOW do I understand what I am seeing and why does it bother me so?

Second House, second floor landing and hall was like a crawl through tunnel to upstairs bedrooms and bathrooms.  The previous owners where still living in the house and we were [Jessie and I] supposed to move in, but I quickly realized we had an issue on our hands.  The previous owners were now going to have to be evicted if they couldn't have their full loan paid off.  They were upside down in the financing and the house was completely fucked from the FHA type of lifestyle.  Modifications to the house, that make it unsaleable.  The master bedroom is under construction, and there are these weird medal pipes that are running up the wall that look like furnace ducting, four of them with red hazard stickers with strips.  I didn't ask what they were, as I felt stupid for being in this situation.  What do the bathrooms look like?  NIGHTMARES! I should have paid for a freakin' inspection!

I may be changing the story now since this dream was from yesterday and generally dreams are forgotten fast, if not immediately upon awaking from sleep.

I do recall thinking over and over how I never think things through and how I always screw up my situation by second guessing myself.  Sometimes the second isn't the best but the first is what shoulda been?  I don't know.  All i k[NO]w is I am listening to the clicking of my fingers and wondering why I can't spell shit half right most the time!?

It's 5:12p on January 27 2019.  I wonder where I will be when I grow up and realize that I've been a grown up for most of my life at this point?  45 years in I can't imagine life any differently.  I have been loved by good people and I have screwed up good situations because I didn't feel like I deserved to be where I was.  Self sabotage.  Self loathing, self implosion.

I've experienced a lot of good things and find sometimes that I only dwell on the sad/bad ones.

Life continues, even when  you don't feel like you can continue. 
The grass still grows, the rain flows into rivers, lakes, oceans. 
It snows and that melts. 
Birds sing and fly, then they die. 
Butterflies morph from their cocoons once from Caterpillar fuzzies in a courtyard at an elementary school in the Meadows of a mountain they call Cheyenne.

Darkness floats around, even in light.  Light can be snuffed in a simple smothering.  SAGE.


01272019 - Thoughts

Sitting on my bed on a Sunday afternoon.

Instead of staring at Facebook, I thought I should jot a few words down to get them out of my head.

I really don't know what I want to jot down, I'm just wasting time so why not let the fingers run along the keyboard and release some brain energy?

I wish words flowed from my fingers as they used to.  I'm lost in the thoughts, but can't get them to exchange their language for the keys of the board that can carry them to the eyes that should read them.  Or maybe, NOT READ THEM.

I've been having these vivid dreams that are crAZy!  from A-Z...

I wish I would get right up and write them down.  I could write a book of the crAZy that I see.

I wish there was a device that could record your dreams.  I'd be entertained to see them again and see what the hell is actually going on!

I want to publish my thoughts, but I don't really want anyone to read them?  What is the POINT?


Thursday, January 10, 2019

Sitting

Surprise!
It's me....
Wondering what lies ahead.  What's in the distance?
Is that a body lying in the street?  Did I see that shadow standing next to me?  Will I hear myself scream, will you hear me cry?
Living life in a slow slothy style, growing mossy on my back.
This is about me, my life, my wish, my wants, my desires.  What are they?
My children are grown.
My wish is to be happy without question.
My wants many,
My desires, to be desired.

Haven't thought of writing in a while as the creative characters would not slip from the finger tip.  You don't want to see what is inside of this mind.  Burned images in the brain, lost in grey, that's what matters.

Want not as ye be wanted.


Sunday, May 08, 2011

Sometimes, I wish I could l clear the history on my life like a browser so I can let go of people that don't deserve my time! Sounds selfish, but I don't know how much more my heart can take and I'm sick of this cycle I place myself in!

Wednesday, May 04, 2011

It's been a while....

I think I have forgotten how to use this tool.  HA! It's been so long!

Sometimes, I let time pass on too many things in life, at work, with my kids, with extended family, with friends, MY MEMORY, the list goes on! 

I handled a phone call a little-less-like I would have liked.  If only I had time to think about what I was hearing, so I could have responded in a manner that would have gotten my point across without all the dislike that is flying around.  I don't understand why I can't simply recall the matter-at-hand on the comments given to me?  I would have handled the "unpleasant situation", as it was called in a converstaion with the subject party, things would have ended differently, instead of typically!  Grrr...

At the same time, I'm tired of the control issues that are laid before me, caused by me, and for me.  1) my control of being able to talk with my child at any given moment, when I am thinking of them!  2) my lack of control to believe that I can't always talk with them when I, or they, need!  3)  my lack of control over my concern that others try to control me through their silly rules of control.  4) Me controling myself! HA!

I must say, when the phone was handed to me on Sunday, I really didn't want to talk! That voice that comes across the line bites me in the watch-out-I'm-going-to-explode-in-one-minute-thrity-nine-seconds-nerve to begin with. Then the complaining about A's phone policing, not liking my suggestion, him saying that he has to talk with the spouse, then it's I don't think the kids can come, because last time 10 other peole were there with them and not just her because of her phone! [Which I can understand when it comes to friends this year because she is a phone junky and would really have 10 other people there with her while she is gone!] Then he goes on about how every time he turned around A was on the phone with GG complaining to her or on the phone with me complaining to me! I responded with "It wasn't like that T!" (recalling his "issues" with my kid's relationsthip with their GG and the phone issue with that last year) I WANTED TO REACH THROUGH THE PHONE AND SLAP HIM RIGHT THEN! This feeling is way too over-whelming and I knew I was going to say many things that I really would never recover from so I end the phone conversation! (man divorce, even 30+ years after it's over can be ugly!) I ended it, but there was a third party interjection I couldn't control!

After I had time to think, I would liked to have said:

T, I'm sorry that I forgot about the little verbal incident we had last summer when A was telling me about her day at your house and a conversation that she heard at dinner and then repeated to me because she thought it was funny and wanted to share with ME, 1,000 miles away.  As I  recall, A was bubbly during our converstaion with love in her voice; and you interrupted her to "tell" her [very rudly as I might add] that she doesn't need to tell everything that happens in your house, in turn making her cry and ruining our sweet little connection!   I know you didn't like me telling you i didn't appreciate you telling her she couldn't tell me what was going on there, like it is a secret as flames shot out of my head!  Sorry you are missing out on two of the most wonderful children walking this planet!

Anniversary

Image
We all carry anniversaries. A day in rememberance of a passing event... may not have to be a formal anniversary like a wedding, or the start of a job, but a distant memory's birthday.

Memories are sometimes forgotten; a picture can't even pull it from its depth. Today marks an anniversary of a memory in the distant past, maybe 20 years. I don't have the energy to recall exactly the date. Hot tempers, strong egos, screams, cries, changes! In most ways good,others not so....

Missouri is calling....

033010

venom running through the veins, never thought we'd see this day... pretending!
kids are running down the street, we hope they didn't see; the ending of you and me.
relief, the sounds of pitter patter and the cries of bitter sweet; in reality, there is no relief.

it's been a while

It has been a while since I've posted anything at all. I keep coming back to the blogs to see if anyone else has posted and am excited when someone has. I have something brewing to post here real soon. I just need to find the time to get what I wanted posted pushed down the tunnel of vision before I can get it to come to light.

I hope something appears soon!

Miss all of the family's regular posts, so I need to get on the ball and get something produced.

ImageMy pumkin vines looked nice and healthy on July 16 as you can see from my July 16 post. When I woke up this morning and after I showered, I headed outside to see how much damage they sustained from the over night storm that dumped what sounded like horrifying amounts of hail and woke me from a sound slumber... this is what I see...

June 9, 2009 Storm

Image

The skies were a little crazy on the drive home today!

Leaving work the air was unusual as the cotton floated in circles with the wind!

I didn't get into the car when I received a call from Don about a possible tornado near Broomfield. The sky was almost black directly to the East of Longmont! As I got closer to home and through Berthoud the sky looked amazing with the lightning and the color of green it turned!

The police were circling, watching the skies and ready to close WCR 13 at any moment! The rain came down with the hail making it impossible to see any kind of funnel if it was there!!

Hail has torn up the vegetation in the yard that once looked nice!

talent

ImageI don't believe that Matthew would be too happy with me if he knew that I have posted an unfinished work of his on blog, but I cannot help myself. I think that he has such talent and I want to boast about him as much as his art teacher, who is taking him and some other class mates to Japan on the 11th of June, does.

ImageI can see the likeness of at least one of his friends in this piece. When it is finished I will have to ask why the one character is smudged out? I'm glad that he is building his skills to use this media for creativity. I cannot wait to see what else he puts out!

my ham

ImageAshleigh loves to have her picture taken. Over the years I have observed people through a lens without their knowledge of being shot into the digital world as I find that when they don't know their picture is being taken, their pictures are far better.

With Ashleigh, it is not often that she doesn't notice the camera. She is my ham! When she knows the camera is present she "makes face" to the camera instead of just being herself. Either way... I love when she is in front of the lens.

ImageGrandma Gwen took Ash shopping for summer clothes. This is one of the shirts that she came home with. She is a girl full of mischeif, however, if we advertised that she was 99 percent angel and 1 percent mischeif, maybe she wouldn't be so full of micheif?

ImagePoster child for "yo quiero taco bell" as she macks down on that taco! It is so nice that we can FINALLY hang out, outside! She can drop her lettuce and cheese on the ground instead of on the kitchen floor! I didn't post the picture taken shortly after this one where she plays "see food."

I will not be seeing much of the kids for the next three weeks. Jeff has the kiddos this weekend, then they [Luke and Ashleigh] are off to Illinois with G'pa Dixon for a week long visit. When they come back it will again be Jeff's weekend. Matthew will be out of Country on the 11th and gone for 10 days.

ImageIt feels as though time is slipping away. I better laugh, love and hug on them as much as I possibly can before they spread their wings and fly out of the nest!
ImageLittle G'ma Gwen look alike! :-D

If I'm not pulling my hair out over her stubbornness, she is making me cry by laughing so much. I am glad to have my little surprise!

Luke

Image

Getting pictures of Luke is not always easy! I don't understand why he can't just let me take his picture!? Sometimes I get lucky, but mostly I get elbows and hands.
