Writing on Posterous has been such a great experience for me and I will miss it a lot, especially how it was the first website/blog I've stuck with for as long as six months or more. But, alas, it was time to slide on over to my own domain. I have imported all blog entries, comments and the like to my new website. Go to: KARENMAEBY.COM to continue reading me. :)
[THIS WAS WRITTEN THURSDAY.] At work boss gives me a coin to take a photo of. I took the photo. With the SAME CAMERA AND DISK as yesterday. The same one. The same one that has been stuck in and out of the camera to the computer for weeks now. IT WORKED FINE YESTERDAY. 100% fine. Today? I took the photos, stuck the disk in the proper hole on the computer tower and wait and wait... and... nothing?! The disk being inserted DID NOT bring up a little pop up option to open up what files are on there. Hm. THE ONLY SOLUTION...
I actually admitted last night that I was depressed again. Depression is like a big black hole, a virus eating you alive... seems like once you get to the top of a ladder to crawl back out, there's a zombie waiting at the bottom to pull you back under. Yeah. That's what's happened to me. So... in spite of this, I've disappeared for a while from social networking, again. No one needs to hear how sad I am, or what I need or want out of life and just don't have (yet) or etc. No one needs to hear complaining... none...
So amidst it all... I am working on another few songs/poems that have a reoccurring theme strung about. Haven't done THIS in so long. I am VERY pleased about my ideas and how the few that I've written have turned out. This is a new me. A new beginning. This is really wonderful and I'm loving every moment of it...coming up with new ideas, new theme, new 'poetry album'. Very pleased. So, here's a sneak peak of what is to come... Porcelain Doll by Karen-Maeby McCormick 7/5/10 FRAGILE: Says the outside...
I really haven't much to say lately... have been pretty speechless, in ways. I suppose. So, here goes a list of what's up, down or what I've been looking around (for).... I am never, ever coming back home again by myself. Not for a rather long time. I-40 West was the longest trip ever. Only at Christmas with my love, that's it. I am reminded each day that I should just NOT CARE about those who don't care about me. Seems to have been a longer list than expected of that. Sadly. Pluranus, my iPhone, is amazingly majestic...
The other day Jimmy Buffett was on Anderson Cooper/CNN in a pretty long interview about the oil spill on the Gulf. I have always thought of Jimmy as a great man, and that interview proved it. It's NOT selfishness to want to be concerned because of "money" not coming in for his businesses after the oil effects even more of the water (and tourist season gets effected), but concerned for the folks that live there. He walked around the beaches trying to figure out what to do and how to help clean the mess up. He even...
Voice of an Angel by Karen Maeby McCormick Written July 1, 2010 Once upon a time, but not in fairyland a lost little girl was deeply in need. She needed someone to hold her hand, put her back on the right path of which she strayed from. Her mind wasn’t poisoned, but -- confused by thoughts? Oh, indeed. No regrets possible but a mind that wanders… A lot. How was she supposed to make it stop? “God please grant me the strength to pull on thru God just grant me the supplies for me to ‘make do’” She...
On MONDAY, I wanted to do something special to celebrate the life of Billy & all our friendships and everything came out of knowing him.. so, here's my little tribute to one year.
I am writing this ahead of time because I'll be out of town Monday and won't be near a computer. Even though I have my iPhone, I decided I will NOT write a blog entry that way. It would be too painful. Anyway, today? It's been a full year since Billy passed away. This is actually really creepy because.... I'm at my parents house THE SAME WEEKEND as last year where Dan and I went back home to tie up loose ends when we all found out Billy passed away. I didn't even REALIZE that until after having already planned...
