    Popularity is relative. In my own life I have never been that popular and I have mostly been concerned by WHO esteems rather then how many.

    Hi Qim

    How are you??

    Many thanks for posting the images. You hometown downtown is really beautiful and more beautiful are the scenes of fall. Unfortunately, Karachi is totally urban and we have no such natural beauty here....in fact we don't have much of the typical four seasons---- the climate is simply tropical with little rains and brief winters.

    Havn't been much active on the Haiku/poetry forums lately.....writer's blank? However, hurled a few poems in Urdu on another site...

    Take care and keep in touch

    Cheers

    The rain settled down but to my horror Snapjaws does't work. The cable that moves the little switch when you pull the cord came off. I haven't a clue when that happened as I finished the lawn about 3 weeks ago and shoved it in the garage and forgot about it. Now I have to find somebody to help me out. One phonecall hs not been returned but I have a plan B. As to the kitten--was supposed to get him/her Tuesday but put off until Friday --almost weaned it seems. Yes I am much a cat person. Probably has to do with an early love for Felix the Cat.

    Part 2

    I volunteered as the casting director! Sort of got me off the hook to audition. I don't know if my mic works and I can't act, truly I can't; wish I could. I try in secret alone but I know I am pretty bad, even at reading the text. I am watching the Hamlet film now and I did come across a few minor roles and so I considered them...only a few lines. We will see. I will think about it more. I am shy on microphones; even answering machines on phones. I am never shy writing on here, am I? hahah....

    I love to write on your page - the colors are so pretty!

    I am ok, but not great... Long story. It's my physical chronic ailment, but there is some hope for me on the horizon; I will explain more in a PM; after you write me about your interesting time at work. I am all ears and wanting to know more. The weekend will be a good time; whew, what a busy week I have had. I will explain that also.

    My son and his family went to the seashore to stay a week on vacation last week; then last night they were going to bring over Brooke but it was her first day back to daycare so she came back a little cranky. Otherwise she has a wonderful time at the shore...she loved the beach and the merry-go-round. I do think, now that things here are calmer my son is coming around a bit on spending more time with Brooke. I hope it continues. I miss her so in-between visits.

    Always good to see your avatar on my screen. Finlly getting 2 daus off in row and I'll be doing battle with the Lawnmower of Doom if the rain holds off tomorrow. Plus getting a kitten tomorrow from a friend of the Long Suffering Wife.

    Oh no--I am so sorry I missed your birthday--I am THAT far behind on the forum. I'll never catch up.

Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout

I live in the United States of America, and we had another school shooting today. With horror I listened to the news reports that a gunman had gone into an elementary school and killed 27 people, 20 of them “children between the ages of 5 and 10.” And I listened tiredly and wearily to the usual rhetoric of the newscast without end as they recounted the “worst school shooting in an elementary school.”
I guess they are doing the best they can, but you simply can’t put a qualifier or adjective

In Memoriam

One of my former students-he graduated last year-was shot and killed last night around 10 o'clock.

He had just finished playing a game of basketball and was sitting in a car on a dark street, with his cousin. They were waiting for his cousin's ride when another car drove up. It was someone they knew and they argued over a girl his cousin had been seeing. The young man in the car pulled out a gun and shot them. Victor was shot two times in the back. He was treated at a nearby hospital,

The Anger and The Anguish

I read several good books in 2011. I read "Candide," "The Crying of Lot 49", "Housekeeping," "A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius," and "The Dubliners." I read others, but these I read last fall and today it is of "The Dubliners" I speak.

I've been wanting to read something by Joyce. Eventually I hope to read "Ulysses." I think that might be akin to saying that someday I'd like to climb Mount Everest, for

The Bird's Nest

looking at it I knew it was different
a bird's nest
full of hope and fear
and the cavalier fulsomeness of life
the blind ability to get up each day under the weight of it all
to go out every day believing you were one of the masses
dressed in the same uniform
believing the same things
that god is good
that love will find a way
believing or hoping to believe that
the others would not notice your vampiric differences

I acquire some books

I got up yesterday morning, a Saturday, around 5:45. I washed my face and dressed and walked to my car in the dark. I stopped by my local Starbucks and treated myself to a tall mocha.

I then made my way down Midway to 635; from there to Central Expressway from which I exited at Northwest Highway. My destination was the Half-Price Books located there, or rather the warehouse that I knew was located near it.

Once I arrived I noticed, somewhat to my chagrin, that there
