I am always missing SOMETHING............

So, you think you can tell heaven from hell,

blue skies from pain?

Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?

A smile from a veil?

Do you think you can tell?



And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees?

Hot air for a cool breeze?

Cold comfort for change?

Did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?



How I wish, how I wish you were here

We're just two lost souls swimming in… Continue

ATTENTION ALL PINUPS....... your ticket to a perfect photo shoot is here...... and his name is Jason Allen!

After yesterday, my advice to ANY model is: "GET A PHOTO SHOOT WITH JASON ALLEN". No matter what it takes, DO IT. Our shoot together was AMAZING! He is EXCEPTIONALLY easy to pose for, very down to earth and friendly yet professional at the same time so the comfort level is INSANE . It was GREAT fun and having Piper Rubie there to do makeup, assist with lighting and help come up with groovy ideas for different shots was a BIG plus. They make a wonderful team!!



My favorite thing about… Continue

You want to be a writer, don't know how or when? Find a quiet place, use a humble pen. Paul Simon

I have found my quiet place to write. I've gone for the last two weeks after leaving work. I feel inspired there... and peaceful. There's something about this spot that moves me. Maybe it's because it's late at night, I am a night owl and am most creative in the dark with just the shallow gleam of a street lamp and a tiny, clip on book-light to aid my sight . Maybe it's because the sounds of a train stimulates my brain. Maybe it's because I am a COMPLETE FREAK OF NATURE.

...................

I am envious of my children. Ah, to be young again... when saying the word "poopy" could make you giggle and laugh for hours and the biggest disappointment you faced was having to take a nap.



I talked to my parents today. Afterward, all I really wished was that I could be scooped up in their arms and rocked to sleep, the soothing murmur of a lullaby echoing in my mind. I miss that comfort.... that reasurrance of security and stability. Life wasn't so frightening or confusing or… Continue

Oooooo... that smell. Can't you smell that smell?

I found this website called MapMyRun.com. You can chart out and plan your route. It tells you the mileage and there's a personal training log where you can keep track of your goals and times etc. There are running forums, route suggestions in your area and information on running events. I am really starting to enjoy it! Good stuff.



Went to my kickboxing class again, FINALLY, after not getting to go for about a week. It was fantastic. This may seem kind of dorky but I really, REALLY… Continue

On my mind

Last night I had a dream
You came into my room
you took me into your arms
Whispering and kissing me
and telling me to still believe
But then the emptiness
of a burning sea against which we see
our darkest of sadness

Until I felt safe and warm
I fell asleep in your arms
When I awoke I cried again
for you were gone
-Jane Siberry

Hangin' loose



Well, Aloha!



I'm teeming with excitement! Ditching the husband and headed to a 'luau' at 6 tonight to celebrate King Kamehameha Day. The BEST part is I get to wear a cheongsam dress my grandma made back in the '40s. It's GORGEOUS and I've been waiting for an excuse to put it on!!

Crash and Burn..... An exciting day in the life of Syd.

Yesterday, I went on a 7mile bike ride. My son was at a friends house and I have a two-seat-er cart that pulls behind, so I buckled up my girls and off we went. It was a wonderful day for it; overcast with a nice breeze so not too hot. We rode around a couple of lakes and checked out the water fowl. I had just kicked ass up a descent size hill and was enjoying a nice coast down when I came to a four way stop. I guess I forgot how much momentum those carts have coming behind you because when I… Continue

WTF?

I read an article in the newspaper today about an 18 year old boy graduating from HS somewhere in CA. At the age of 11 months, he was hospitalized for an asthma attack in the same hospital where his father was a lobotomist. His father waited until his baby son was alone in the hospital room, then injected him with HIV infected blood. He didn't want to be a father; he didn't want to pay child support.....



What the F****** F***??? If you don't want to be a parent and you make the… Continue

DAMN, it's HOT out

mmmmmmm............... ****SIGH*****



Sometimes I sit
where the trains pass
at night
to hear nothing
but the low groaning rhythm of
metal on metal
and the beating of my heart
alone with my memories
it brings clarity with
a chase of substance

Sleep

Recently, there was a time when I seemed to have been overwhelmed with happiness. Everything was going right. I felt alive. Wish I could go back to that. I miss it. I miss the excitement and the giddiness and feelings of worthiness. Now, I just want to sleep. All the time. If I never woke up, I wouldn't have to feel this way.



Oh, blah, blah, BLAH! Just feeling sorry for myself again. Feeling sorry that I am putting up with s*** that I shouldn't have to put up with just like everyone… Continue
