just a memory

You used to get it in your fishnets
Now you only get it in your night dress
Discarded all the naughty nights for niceness
Landed in a very common crisis
Everything's in order in a black hole
Nothing seems as pretty as the past though
That Bloody Mary's lacking a Tabasco
Remember when he used to be a rascal?

Oh that boy's a slag
The best you ever had
The best you ever had
Is just a memory and those dreams
Not as daft as they seem
Not as daft as they seem
My love when you dream them up...

Flicking through a little book of sex tips
Remember when the boys were all electric?
Now when she tells she's gonna get it
I'm guessing that she'd rather just forget i
Clinging to not getting sentimental
Said she wasn't going but she went still
Likes her gentlemen to not be gentle
Was it a Mecca Dobber or a betting pencil?

Oh that boy's a slag
The best you ever had
The best you ever had
Is just a memory and those dreams
Weren't as daft as they seem
Not as daft as they seem
My love when you dream them up
Oh, where did you go?
Where did you go?
Where did you go? Woah.

If there is righteousness in the heart
there will be beauty in the character
If there is beauty in the character
there will be harmony in the home
If there is harmony in the home
there will be order in the nation
When there is order in the nation
there will be peace in the world

just leavin this day in silence, for a great man who had to depart.

I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them.

Happy Thanksgiving everybody, have a great weekend and enjoy the immersion into fall!

In case anyone forgot lately ... carpe diem!

there's sunshine glowing through the leaves
and cold love-bites the air - i'm feeling
autumn blowing by, it licks the trees and
brushes the sky but summer's in my hair and I
see winter on it's way. Oh what a deliciously
thoughtful autumn-summer-winter's day.

a little bit more me-time

Just a little bit more info about me if you were wondering ...

Right now one of the big goals I've been working on is getting my photo website together, slowly but surely ... And you will know the moment it is complete :)

Another random fact: this blog is a place for me to get used to working on something minimum two days a week contributing new information, keeping habits, working with schedules ... even if it's just by randomly writing.

Anyways, to keep with the above trend of a new random topic per paragraph, today I found the most wonderful photo-travel blog. And it made me realize that I would aspire to be this brilliant, in writing and photography. It's always lovely to have goals and desires -- have a look, and click some red -> Michael Anderson

Blasphemously plagiaristic, and bombarding information.

“Trouble is, no creature who completely understands its role in the universe is talking.”

Just felt like being informative … verbatim. Why rephrase something that has been said so well? The following interested me and so I have relocated this information here from Wikipedia … Enjoy -

Psychoactive substances are used by humans for a number of different purposes. These uses vary widely between cultures. Some substances may have controlled or illegal uses while others may have shamanic purposes, and still others are used medicinally. Other examples would be social drinking or sleep aids. Caffeine is the world’s most widely consumed psychoactive substance, but unlike many others, it is legal and unregulated in nearly all jurisdictions. In North America, 90% of adults consume caffeine daily.[7]
Psychoactive drugs are divided into 3 groups:[1]
* Depressants – those that slow down the central nervous system; such as tranquilizers, alcohol, heroin and other opiates, cannabis (in low doses)
* Stimulants- those that excite the nervous system; such as nicotine, amphetamines, cocaine, caffeine
* Hallucinogens – those that alter how reality is perceived; such as LSD, mescaline, Psilocybin mushrooms, Salvia divinorum.

Recreational use
Many psychoactive substances are used for their mood and perception altering effects, including those with accepted uses in medicine and psychiatry. Examples include caffeine, alcohol, cocaine, LSD, and cannabis.[13] Classes of drugs frequently used recreationally include:
* Stimulants, which activate the central nervous system. These are used recreationally for their euphoric effects.
* Hallucinogens (psychedelics, dissociatives and deliriants), which induce perceptual and cognitive distortions.
* Hypnotics, which depress the central nervous system. These are used recreationally because of their euphoric effects.
* Opioid Analgesics, which also depress the central nervous system. These are used recreationally because of their euphoric effects.
* Inhalants, in the forms of gas aerosols, or solvents, which are inhaled as a vapor because of their stupefying effects. Many inhalants also fall into the above categories (such as nitrous oxide which is also an analgesic).
In some modern and ancient cultures, drug usage is seen as a status symbol. Recreational drugs are seen as status symbols in settings such as at nightclubs and parties.[14] For example, in ancient Egypt, gods were commonly pictured holding hallucinogenic plants.[15]
Because there is controversy about regulation of recreational drugs, there is an ongoing debate about drug prohibition. Critics of prohibition believe that regulation of recreational drug use is a violation of personal autonomy and freedom.[16] In the United States, critics have noted that prohibition or regulation of recreational and spiritual drug use might be unconstitutional.[17]

AH FORBID we have unconstitutional things happen in this world, in this day, in this age! For everything is already perfect and we are at peace with one another, and no one dies for illegitimate reasons EVER.
And sarcasm is so easy to convey without emoticons, who’d've thought.

Each drug has a specific action on one or more neurotransmitter or neuroreceptor in the brain.
Drugs that increase activity in particular neurotransmitter systems are called agonists. They act by increasing the synthesis of one or more neurotransmitters or reducing its reuptake from the synapses. Drugs that reduce neurotransmitter activity are called antagonists, and operate by interfering with synthesis or blocking postsynaptic receptors so that neurotransmitters cannot bind to them.[24]
Exposure to a psychoactive substance can cause changes in the structure and functioning of neurons, as the nervous system tries to re-establish the homeostasis disrupted by the presence of the drug. Exposure to antagonists for a particular neurotransmitter increases the number of receptors for that neurotransmitter, and the receptors themselves become more sensitive. This is called sensitization.
Conversely, over-stimulation of receptors for a particular neurotransmitter causes a decrease in both number and sensitivity of these receptors, a process called desensitization or tolerance. Sensitization and desensitization are more likely to occur with long-term exposure, although they may occur after only a single exposure. These processes are thought to underlie addiction.[25]

Uhm … that’s it. Just thought you should know :)
