the beach

This is the first picture I took when I got my digital camera. I snapped it at the pier in Santa Monica, CA. It was a cold, cloudy day, but no rain. I love my camera!

I like to write poetry, not sure if I am good at it or not...doesn't really matter as long as I like them, right? I get a kick out of trying to rhyme words...I wrote this one about a young man that I have become fond of...

Take me to our secret place
To your sweet face, your warm embrace
The sight of you makes me smile
A sweet pain that I love to feel
Whenever you are near
I long to taste your body and make you mine
If only for a little while
I don't want to let you go, when you are inside
It feels like heaven every time
No one knows for sure what we do, the words we speak
Every time, you make me weak....

my first

wow, where do I start. I haven't blogs anything since I had Myspace, which was sometime ago. I thought I would give this a shot and see how it makes me feel. I do love to write in journals and write poetry, this is just another format for doing such a thing. I guess I should start off by writing what is going on in my head at the moment. I am always thinking about life and it's challenges, as well as all the beautiful things it has to offer. I seem to find myself "observing" people more these days, and encountering alot of negativeness coming from them, it might be due to the fact that I read "self-help" books and I tend to apply what I read in others as well as myself. I also have become more excepting of what awaits me in what I do and in the decisions I make. I had a conversation the other day with a friend of mine about how people want and seek revenge in others "wrong doings" to them. I have to admit that when I was younger I felt that way, as we all do when we are young, sensitive and naive, but as I got older...why bother with such negative thoughts. I can say with honestly now that I hold no ill feelings to those that have hurt me in the past, all i wish for them is to have a good healthy, loving life. I see it this way, when you have a relationship with someone and they do something awful to you, whether it be cheat, steal, or lie, and all you want is to have them hurt...it takes away all the wonderful, amazing times you did have with them and makes everything ugly, instead of cherishing what you did have, you are destroying the memories, feelings, and thoughts you both once shared. Why do that? ( The past is history, the future a mystery, and today is a gift...that is why it is called the present)
