I am ready for it now, I think.
Bring it.

On another note..////
This is what I try to do.
And I don't take the task lightly.

I generally don't posture much...no, not much. LOL.

Anyway.

What this post is about is possibly the best version of 'House of the Rising Sun' I have ever, ever heard.

Do yourself a favor and give this a spin.

Brand New Sin's take on the classic. You shall NOT be disappointed.

Best hot sax solos ever.
Just my opinion.

And ya know?

I can be quite happy there, in my own little place.
I have my world, which cannot be invaded by only those who I wish to befriend.
I can cry, I can sing, I can dance at times.
Yes, LOL, you could not imagine.

I have my own little chair. My couch. Where my kitties come to see me.
That is MY world. It supports and sustains me.
Bain and boon. All the same, really.

I go there now.
The first time I danced with........YOU, my dear.

There are things I can no longer whitewash away, you see.
Truths that have become self evident, so to speak.

You may have convinced me to tone it down.
On the other hand, you may have all too well released a monster.

I dunno which, exactly.

Remains to be seen.

And not sure I can control the direction.
It could spiral out of all imagination.\\

You took the cork out of the bottle. Not me..

Now i shall let it breath a bit.

And then, tomorrow, maybe give it legs.

You may be sorry you did this. I know I shall not be.

Welcome home.

My advice is that you try to make a point of sleeping on things before you post them...

Welcome home.

Coming from you, Angela, that is a very special thought.
I know I have hurt you, dear.
An old song comes to mind.
It hurts me too.
That is so true.
Not a love triangle, LOL.

I just mean that when I make some of you sad, it takes it's toll on me doubly so.
I cannot tell you how much it hurts me when I am banned and just want to scream.
And cannot.

Another thing comes to mind....
See? It's Cy. Si.
There I go again.............

Meow.

One day you are gonna hear me roar...
Dunno when. Wait for it.....
It's coming.

Oh msattler - I'm really going to have to sort out my sound card!!! It's stopped talking to me :(

What is life.........
Without a cat?

No other place could be like that.
I mean, without a cat.

Things so dreary,
sad and true,
but a cat can make some dreams come true.

I have a place where I can go
to make some things I need to send my woes.

It's a place one cannot help but find.
In the eyes of a cat. All things there are fine.

Ever wonder what's in their heads?
Heaven, I have heard.
That's what some have said.

Cats are the most beautiful of God's creations aside from man himself.
How he came up with a cat to grace us with His love is beyond my simple comprehension.
Stare into a cat's eyes and they say that you can see into the forever.
I happen to know that is true enough.
They are a portal that can take you far beyond this simple life.
And get you back here safe and sound.

I do miss my Squirrel kitty still so much.
She guided me through so much.
I think at times, she still guides me.
I shall have to get a marker stone for her this spring.
It's the least I can do after over 18 years of her love.

Meow.

Another one of my random musings.

And this is going way back.

Did anybody other than myself realize just how beautiful a woman Donna Summer was?
Not just the singer. She did the whole disco thing, I know.

But, have any of you ever seen her photos?

She was a most remarkably beautiful woman.
I loved her then.
The one at 17 secs just kills me.

And no......I did not ever sleep with that one. Might have dreampt of such a thing, but I would not pretend to think I had.

I shall stick with who I know.
I think she still hates me.
The reason for that was that I took Jett, {aka at the time, Joan Marie} down, and Joan is such a strong woman that it took her aback just a bit too much for her to handle..
I walked away and cried for days. Years, really. I wanted to be with her just so badly that it almost killed me. It may yet, some day.

You know if you have read my posts about her.
Joan is my idol except for one other. That would be Lori. I think she is getting more beautiful every day. I guess that's what love is.

Please don't get me wrong. My one true love in this life is Lori.
My love and devotion is her's now. And without reservation.
She is not Joan, but she is my life now. One just cannot go back on torn up tracks, as the saying goes. Lori made me who I am today, all these many years later.
Every note of my life, I owe to Lori.

I, many years ago, saved her from a fate worse than death.
Alcoholism. True to the death, alcoholism. She has been clean and sober for some 15 years or more now. I love her for it.

One last thought...LOL. Ya never know when it's going to be your last, now do ya?
Shooby do wop wop.


And that's the way I see things for now.
Hope some of you shall stay my friends now that I have had my say.
Thanks. and meow meow.
And now I suffer the same affliction.
Get real, ya say.
I have just been more real than I have in ages with you.
Please appreciate what I offer whilst I can a shall offer it.

I do not go here that often.

meow


She never forgave me for that one night.

And that is the truth, kids.
I think I just might have a polaroid shot of her from that day.
I must try to find it.

Just a few more seeds of thought from an impossibly fertile mind.

and one last thing.
Anime' people are just so beautiful.
But, I guess you can be when you are drawn that way.
I should be so drawn.

May we All have a METAMORPHOSIS. REASON. GOoD JUDGEMENT and LOVE and ORDER!!!!!

and one last thing.

I should be so drawn.

Let me take one more step beyond just before I go.

I believe, and I do truly believe, that I am something beyond the rest of you.
I was sent here for a purpose. I was sent here on a mission. A faith, a true belief. If you find this unsettling, I understand.
It is not often that somebody tries to shake your foundation.
Your core beliefs and goals.
It's not every day you encounter.........ME.

You can accept that or deny it.
It's all your choice, really.

Am I the new Lord?

OH, hardly that. I am just here to tell you things that you may not have known until.....as Prot said it, just now.

Many of you shall continue to deny me for years to come.
That is just fine. Your ignorance shall not diminish my mission.

Thanks. I can go on now. And I think I have a few more followers that I did in the past. Perhaps a few more that understand that my motives are pure and simple. And not of my own making.

We shall see.
Maybe I am KB. Ya never know, now, do ya?

Funny how I was never seen with the bearded one on the same planet?
Don't that just strike you as a bit odd?

Wow...how cool is that?
Not every day one is so honored...

OR, as Jerry Lee Lewis once sang.
"Don't put no headstone on my grave. I want a monument."
LOL.

Well.....
It was a good week for the ol' kittyman.
The winter is FINALLY trying to give up it's grip and yield to spring.
The kitties have been bright and bouncy.
Work was busy and productive.

And yesterday, the shop foreman at the firetruck factory paged me and asked me to come up to his office for my semi-annual job performance review.
When I walked in, he stood up and gave me a hearty handshake. And gave me his sincere congratulations.
After 9 years, I had finally reached the level of what they call 'top grade pay'. Meaning, I had finally worked my way up to the highest tier of hourly pay that the company offers.
This was the same man that interviewed me for hire 9 years ago, when I was down to my last nickle after being out of full time work for nearly 2-1/2 years.
He went through the performance review, said he was very happy with my work and my initiative, and said that their were some in the shop that, once reaching that level, figure they 'had it made' and quit trying to perform well. He also said that he did not see that attitude in me.
When we were done, he again shook my hand, and I left his office just glowing...LOL.
Because, although I am not the fastest worker on the floor, I take intense pride in my workmanship. And I have seen the results of many who do not. The 'poor workmanship' always gets corrected before the product gets to the customer, but at a significant cost to the company to make it right.

It made the kittyman feel just wonderful, not just for the pay raise, but for the simple acknowledgement from a superior that indeed, my efforts are seen and recognized at least some of the time.

Meowsmile. Meowpurr. Meowhappy.

That's great Mark! Congratz:)

Thank you, Julie.
I don't, it seems, have a lot of success stories to share about my life.
Does not mean I did not have any, but at times my little brain chemical deficiencies fool me into forgetting them and going off about every single thing that has gone wrong, and about how life has betrayed me.

Not to say that life has not betrayed me at times........it most certainly has.

I just sometimes shut down the 'good side' of my life and dwell upon the bad half.

It is better now than I sometimes find myself able to rejoice in and relay to you all here.

Sooooooooooooo.
When I tell you that things are bad, and hopeless.........LOL.
Remember this post, and know that all things are not bad in kittyland.
I have more bad moments that some, but more good moments than many.

I am usually far more at peace with life than my IBM clicky written words say.
My brain chemicals betray me at times.
