My favorite part about that story was: "circadian rhythm and in conjunction w/ the ebb n’ flow of your neurotransmitters there are going to be a few days of blah!" You and Sheena definitely have unique writing styles. Thanks for sharing. I'm finding this blog very therapeutic.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12362591109670601040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1827742750821886205.post-63624838067993385212010-12-23T11:39:50.297-08:002010-12-23T11:39:50.297-08:00I’ve lived as a refugee since 1999.

My family n’ friends are steadfast cuz I won’t settle for anything less, you either perform or you’re out. <br /><br /><br />@ the ripe old age of 39 the most poignant loss I’ve experienced is that of love. I’ve loved many times n’ been burnt many times. Losing those men whom I thought were worthy of me was hard @ the time but in retrospect was about as significant and pleasant as a truly rank fart. Truly! ;-) I’m almost embarrassed @ the tears I shed. Live n’ learn!<br /><br /><br />So, when I read the heart wrenching tales of loss, to me, my tales seem so pale in comparison. Loss is loss n’ everyone’s pain is significant n’ individual … I know I know … My BA’s in counseling as well ;-) … I just felt silly blogging about this because I don’t feel bad during the holidays or any day really. Sure I have my blue moments but we all do. It’s called your circadian rhythm and in conjunction w/ the ebb n’ flow of your neurotransmitters there are going to be a few days of blah! Now when those days turn into weeks n’ those weeks turn into a lifestyle … well that’s when it’s time to visit the pharmacy or the gun shop. But that’s for another blog altogether ;-)<br /><br /><br />To summarize LOL … I don’t think I can summarize this rant so I’ll just say … I’m the youngest son of five siblings, I’m an uncle a dozen times over, I’m a great uncle 9 more times … I’ve been around kids more than I’ve not been. The innocence of childhood is what the holidays are about for me. I don’t have kids n’ God knows I don’t want any but if I can contribute to the magic for a kid, that’s cool. If I can rekindle that magic for my 39 year old cold, black heart, that’s cool! Life is the opposite of innocence, all of the things that we do in life seem to slowly erode that innocence and the holidays provide a time for us to give it a little boost, to bring the magic back into our lives if only for a lil while!<br /><br /><br />So string up the lights, light the fire, open a good bottle of spirits, kick your feet back n’ relax. Life is about the living(noun/verb interchangeable ;-), so get out there n’ live people!<br /><br /><br />Merry Christmas!TimDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08131787699076718194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1827742750821886205.post-76426154076904242032010-12-23T11:09:44.323-08:002010-12-23T11:09:44.323-08:00Oh...seeing that picture makes me cry!!
