Having Trouble With The Language

  • Mood:
  • Music: Apocalypse Soundtrack

Arg! Every time I post an entry, I end up having to edit it because it doesn't post right when it's saved.

 

I’m listening to a Billie Myers CD and a verse in one of her songs struck me as funny, because in a weird sort of way it makes sense. (shoot! can't get rid of this dang bold at the top! )

 

A married man
once told me,
He could never be
unfaithful
To his mistress

 

Life has taught me that men only love a woman as long as she’s giving him sex. A mistress always puts out, with maybe a few exceptions, but not many, so a man will eventually fall in love with her.  Of course, that might not have been what Billie Myers meant, but it’s what I’ve learned from experience.

 

The same theme shows up in the movie She’s The One. Francis is talking to his father about his mistress Heather, and the father says in a disgusted tone of voice, “Let me get this straight—you don’t want to cheat on your mistress with your wife?” I love this movie because in the end the men find out how stupid they’ve been, and they end up crying in their beers while their women are out living their lives 

 

On a less cynical note, here is one of my favorite poems by Jewel Kilcher. You can pick up a copy of her collection of poems, A Night Without Armor here: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0061073628/missscarsbookgif/. At least I hope it’s available at Amazon.com.

 

Miracle

 

Listen!

Do you hear it?
I do.
I can feel it.
I expect a miracle is coming.
It has set loose this restlessness
inside of me.

Expect it.
Dream about it.
Give birth to it in your being.
Know! Something good
is coming down the line.
Finding its way to you
like all things find their way
to god’s children.

Listen!

~Jewel Kilcher~

 

 Have y’all heard that commercial where the guy calls up the pizza place and the pizza guy already knows what the guy wants, because he’s stuck in a rut? Today I’m listening to the same CD and writing in my journal just like I did last week :-0. Holy cow, I’m in a rut! Oops, I take that back … It’s Sunday, not Saturday. Wooo hooo! I’m living it up!

 

Have a wonderful Sunday!
