Happy Birthday Mama

Here’s to the BEST Mother alive!!! 😉

Hope you had fun today 🙂

Love you always

your Upsy …. 😉

Wish I had seen this a few days before Valentine’s Day :D… TOTALLY HILARIOUS when you think about it 😉

Russ Nickel's avatarReasonably Ludicrous

A handy list of Do’s an Don’t’s!

DO

Wander around your apartment in your underwear. Or, if you’re feeling ‘ballsy,’ completely naked! Your girlfriend was the one who always wanted you to “put some clothes on, for god’s sake.” You thought that was counterproductive–she was just going to take them off anyway! Well now’s your chance to feel those hard-to-reach spots get caressed by the winds of freedom rather than by someone who demands you come to every single one of her interpretive dance recitals. Enjoy it!

DO

Watch at least 5 episodes of Entourage or any other show that makes relationships look worthless and singleness seem awesome. Don’t you want to be those guys? Well, if you were dating, you couldn’t be.

DON’T

Watch The Notebook or Love, Actually, or anything that’s not about rampant casual sex or a lot of killing. Be careful. In some of those movies…

A Valentine Thought

Valentine’s Day…

A day of pampering and pleasure,
Its February the 14th!
The day all lovers treasure 🙂
When love is at its leisure,
Husbands! How DARE you NOT remember 😉
The insignia for the day- “Heart shapes in velvety red”.
Chocolates, cards, flowers and gifts are shared;
Candle lit dinners;
Rose petals on floors, sheets and pillows spread.
Eros flits about and from his touch no romantic heart is spared.
On this day some look to get laid; 😉
Others seek to have past love replayed.
Friends laugh; Lonely hearts cry,
The words “Happy Valentine’s Day” is offered to the passer by.
But to me today is a day like any,
Earmarked by gifts, cards, cakes, love’s crest and candy!?
For this reason I say this prayer earnestly,
“Dear Eros, keep Valentine’s day tattooed on the hearts of many”
For we needn’t await 14th February to celebrate Love in all its glory….

…HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!!!!!! 🙂

Red

I’m not sure it makes sense anymore, how could it come to this?…. Maybe I should have seen it from the get go but all I saw was “Red”…

I fell in love with beauty I had never known. Vibrant, Sexy, Intelligent, Creative… A perfect gift of Cupid’s to me. She would be my gem and fortune, and she was. We gave into each other absolutely;  the perfect couple… Everything was “Red”, but time is a wicked thing…. With it that vibrant color begins to wear and a faded texture I see.

Cupid’s gift gradually morphs into a fiendish curse. Aggression and anger is its gift to us. She, still my rare beauty, I look at her and the devil wears Prada comes to mind. My “Red” beautiful, powerful and yet vain flower.

Quarrels over the slightest matters ensue… Initially welcome, as passionate acts of reconciliation fuel “bittersweet” to a fiery shade! … In the time of “tainted Red”, Hot, Sexy, and Angry is how I desire her.

Soon “Red” becomes a warning; a stop sign which we both refuse to heed… The situation bears an ugly turning…

My beauty, I know she loves me yet here we are; a kitchen knife run through me…and as I lay here in my pool of blood; clutched in her trembling embrace, at the sight of the tears from my beauty’s face born from regret of her mindless mistake… I see “Red”

An ode to Crude

Rich filth,… that from which nations amass wealth
Your existence, a fuel to the beasts of men.
From you births the many substances that drives the nations
Father to momentous wars and mother nature‘s ebb and destruction.
Refined and used, you belch abuse into Gaya‘s atmosphere,
… yet we would seek you out and bring forth your flare to air from land and sea.
O woe is man for drawing earth‘s black blood and making of it a demigod.
They kill, steal and lie only to have control over the land from which you are bred.
Energy from the relics,
Power and Poison …,
A wicked jewel that I would rather name “the devil’s piss“,
I pray our addiction will not rest with you forever!
But until pigs fly I for Gaya will shed my tears, as man’s lust for you is unending…
For what are we without our fill of “Texas tea“?

Cold Eyes

Eyes cold as they stare into space,
Cloaked in pain a shattered heart,
Memories of what were and broken possibilities,
Reminiscence of sweet words of a former love,
….The harshest blow rendered is “goodbye”.

Eyes cold as they stare…
Heart, heavy; Mind, lost in torturous thought.

“He is gone; he is somewhere but nowhere I can reach.
Perhaps another takes my stead… someone, something or some place?
For whatever reason the prize is mine no-longer…”

Without tears, …2 eyes, cold and staring into space,
They seek to draw Eureka from thin air,
will cognizance of what went wrong and who was at fault bring them rest?
It changes nothing! a heart is broken and a whole is still made half.

I pray you cold eyes cease from the nothingness of space
and set your sight on beauties unknown…
Assuredly, no solace will you ever find as you stare away,
Let go the gloom in your past and look to the future in technicolor…

HEART BREAK!!!One of the many hazards of romantic love.
Been there! Grieved! …and still I rise 😉
If you are a romantic like myself then there’s a probability that you will one day (or may have already) become a victim, but always remember that what doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger… and that He/She is the loser for walking away and not appreciating the gem in you 😉
LOVELY DAY! 😉
