10:29PM - Summer goodness
Swimming, swimming
in the swimming hole
when days are hot
and days are cold
in the swimming hole.
Breast stroke, side stroke
fancy diving too -
don't you wish you didn't have
anything else to do?
3:17PM - In the right place
I miss being in michigan a lot as of late... I'm not sure why... but I really do.
I know I'm in the right place... where else can I make TV shows?

4:17PM - It's been a bit
Man, I have to come back to the LJ to post my feelings now... my real website/blog I started became to popular to write my feelings in... not that I'm bragging or anything, it really sucks.
anyways, L.A. is going good... I have a lot of things going for me... but for some reason I can't get happy inside... I don't know what's wrong with me... I thought a vacation would do me good... I've been on one for over a month now, still feel the same.
hmmmm.... wonder what's going on

depressed11:58AM - Don't know how many of my Michigan friends still read my LJ...
I have a friend on LJ who is trying to help a friend who is in an abusive relationship to get out, and the friend has a temporary place to stay in Michigan (she's from Oklahoma) until she can get her own place. The problem is that she can't take her cats with her and needs a TEMPORARY fostering situation until she can get her place and take back her cats. Link to info is here:

If any of you could help, that would be great. I'm a total cat lady now, and I can't imagine what I'd do if I had to move and Bruce and Mister couldn't come. They're going to be just north east of Lansing, so it's pretty close to a lot of you. Help if you can!

7:42PM - Summer....
I like these summer days that aren't insanely hot, because I get to go swimming without dealing with a million kids. It also helps that my apartment faces the pool and it was dinner time. So, yay for swimming for 45 minutes without having to dodge annoying teenagers and too-young kids who should still be wearing floaties. :)

8:13PM - Harry Potter - not so innocent?
Does anyone else find it, well... disturbing, that the actress who plays Tonks in the HP movies also played a character in Mrs Henderson Presents who spent much of her screen time naked?
I mean, not that I mind personally. But seeing as HP is a movie franchise marketed to children primarily, I wonder what parents would say....

Your result for The Color Code Test...
Color Code: WHITE: The Peace Keeper
9% Red, 43% Blue, 46% White and 3% Yellow!
Here is the basics: For a more in depth analysis, I suggest you look up the Color Code, and take a more intensive test.
WHITE MOTIVE: PEACE
WHITE NEEDS: To feel good (inside), To be allowed their own space, To be respected, Tolerance.
WHITE WANTS: To withhold insecurities, Kindness, Independence, Contentment.
SUMMARY: Whites are motivated by peace. They will do almost anything to avoid confrontation. They like to flow through life without hassle or discomfort. Feeling good is even more important to them then being good. Whites need kindness. They resent being scolded. They dislike harsh words. They open up instantly to people who are kind, but Whites recoil from those who are hostile. Whites prefer quiet strength. they enjoy their quiet independence. This can often be perceived as bullheadedness. Whites like to keep a low profile. They like to be asked their opinions but they won't volunteer them. Whites are independent. Unlike Reds and Blues who want to control others, Whites seek only to avoid being controlled. They don't like to be pushed, and they can be fearsome when they finally "blow up." Whites are motivated by other peoples desires. They want suggestions however, not demands.

My lovely wife and I are heading north with our son to upstate New York on vacation. While we are there, I have booked a show at The Lyric Coffee House on Saturday July 26 at 7:30. The Lyric is in beautiful downtown Clayton Ny, just south of the Canadian border. I will be doing my normal songs of myth and tales of mystery show, but I will, of course, include some Emerald Rose favorites. It should be a lot of fun so if you are anywhere near Clayton please drop by.

Yay I finally got paid a whole $110. That means that in one day I can pay all the people I owe $20 and at lest feel better about that even if I am left with nothing agene.
Also I have been having fucked up dreams, so far I have been raped in two different dreams, my mom has been a car accident in the front of the house, I have been shot at, and other weird things have happened. I think that I am going to start a releasing spell tonight, I just feel like that needs to be done.
energetic11:18AM - These last hours
Today's my last day in India. In just under 12 hours Amy and I will be on our way to the airport. From there to Paris, from Paris to Detroit, from Detroit to Home. I'll be glad to be home. I miss my soft bed. And I'm craving cereal something fierce.
Our stay here has been lovely and confusing and adventurous and awkward and awesome. There are things I will miss, and things I won't. I've taken close to 3 gigs of pictures and I have all sorts of stories to tell. It'll take me awhile to get posts typed up; I've been keeping notes but I still have to take time to flesh out the stories in complete sentences. :) I have a feeling Amy will be posting sooner than I will. But I'll get there.
Wish us luck for safe travels. We'll be home soon!

8:54PM - meh
Leave it to me to find a family of witches who has a child with special needs. I really do end up finding all the witches and other unique people in the world don’t I. In other news my moms foot is doing good and only six of the eight biopsies were cancer! And they got all of the cancer the first time so no more digging double bonice! No news on the home front but we had a strange man come and ring the bell and he took off before we could get to him so ya creepy. No news on the school front as well and o ya no paycheck yet. I think I am at one month and two weeks without a paycheck and one hole month that I have had zero dollars in my account. I was spost to have been paid the 4th but have had yet to see shit. Other then that nothing new.

11:39PM - My favorite musical moment ever...... "Hey! I gotta social disease!"
10:06PM
Ok I still need one day off. I know that I have only worked one day this week but it has been a week from hell. So now we are looking at apt or town houses in the Farmington area. Either way I most likely will be moving in with shortmann, where has yet to be determent although I did get a very nice offer of a apt in Mt. P dear I say I am missing that place. I know crazy right. So as I said I only worked one day but Sun five year old, Mon trying to save house, Tue trying to keep a freaked out mom together and then having her call and cancel me working, Wed moms surgery and working with six year old, Thur me having to cancel work so I can pick mom up from the hospital, Fri mom, Sat five year old, and this Sun is the five year old then all next week is the six year old. I don’t think there is any better birth control then taking care of five and six year olds.
After we find a place to move too I still get to deal with CMU. Hopefully it will be figured out before school starts in the fall but who knows. Other wise I may be a college drop out after seven years. Cus they can’t seem to tell me what degree I can get with my 180 some odd credit hours. Ok time for me to calm down since I will probley be woken up at 7 or 8.
tired7:52PM - 4th of July BBQ!
