1st of february 2011

eating some bread, meat, and potatoes; heard the hall’s piano bounce some tunes; nostalgia trip into my childhood

moments later read about an angel’s corpse discovered within a California canaltomb; found next to his kidnapper parent; saw a picture of the cute kid; somehow the nostalgic tunes sung for his funeral proceeding in my mind; it was all plastered on his shirt; saw his pearly whites; biggest grin, reminded me of my family kids; tried not to cry in a public place

heard from my dying beautiful old father about the storm striking the back, heart, and shoulder of the States; blow after blow, my father told me; searched for a map; scared to find much suffocating stormy red; covering more than 24 states!; don’t want to know theories why; just worried about those snow covered people

Egypt!; call for much change/blood; good for them; don’t know much about politics; protesters know what they do, right?; haven’t heard a harvest of information; can’t speak on without a clearer portrait; although the States and her double-face; laughter did ring from my eyes; Mubarak ebbing away from power

senate at it again; health care repeal; change we can believe in

cyclone heading to australia; darn storms knocking at earth’s door; hope australia perseveres; no ache for australia please

oldest person living dead at 114; another sage gone

afghan war winnable without Pakistani help; says a States general; pardon me; how can people ‘win’ a war?

study says girls bonding with mothers good for both girls and mothers; great study
