That is the poem, "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" a poem that has been residing in me since I have read it.

T.S. Eliot was my age when he wrote it.



I get to go to this concert tommorrow night. I am really looking forward to it. Im in need of something to help me feel better. I feel like I need to scream. Really, really loud. I will never let myself feel like that again. Ever.

10-11

Wow, So I TOTALLY thought that it would take a little longer for me to...not post, lol. Anyway so I am sitting here after a long day. I am having issues with feeling like my head is on strait and for the past few days I haven't been sleeping well...but alas today I made two loaves of brioche that where pretty darn close to perfect.

This is pretty much my ideal. I saw the guy on Martha, and was very impressed. It is artisinal market that serves a twelve person - eight course meal, and the wait...about 12 months. It is very interesting.

Anyway I will go now, supper is kind of calling.

November 9, 2008

Not to much going on today.

Nov. 8

Gran is being released from the hospital today.

It is also Saturday which means all my favorite Public Television shows are on!
(pardon me while I geek out)

I was talking to Momma and this was the conversation:

"I need to clean up the house right?"
"Yes, people will be coming."
"Should I hide the Obama stuff?"
"Nope, this is my house."

Nov 7 cont.

Tonight was simply awesome. I went over to Brandon and Ashleys for a small get together. It was no fuss wonderful time with good music and a good time.

I love my friends.

Nov 7

I can play over two days on my Ipod.
...that pretty much sums up my day.

Happy Birthday To Me!

So, today is my birthday. I was thinking tonight how twenty-three is such an odd number. So I am going to try and write a blog or two a day to document this odd year.

So, tonight I went to see Gran in the hospital. I won't lie I went in hoping to hear her talking weird. But when I saw her, she wasn't looking to hot, in fact she was looking worse than I have ever seen her.

Im worried. But I have faith in the fact that whatever happens it was supposed to happen.

Just pray.

What a way to spend a birthday eh?
