I am not haunted
by dreams of you anymore
memories faded

I didn't mind the chill this morning. Twas refreshing! Gave me a chance to wear my geekli.st hoodie.

A good day at work and now we're at the beginning of a three day weekend. Most glorious!

someday I may say
good times outlasted the bad
until then I wait


I need to gather up my energy. Is it the allergies?

may this misery
drive deep wedges
through your heart
you think it’s easy
pretending it’s okay
but someday soon
you’ll wonder why
the chill persists
the darkness follows
while guilt haunts you
taunting your misery
as you pretend
you don’t know why


I want to see Magic Mike because I'm kinda easy like that:

Oh, and I must see The Dark Knight Rises mostly because of the person who plays Bane. ;)

Pinterest has got to be one of my new favorite internet things. If I see a pic online that I like, I "pin" to one of my boards. And I just realized I can embed to my blog. Very nice! What I like is that it correctly (so far) credits the pics and hopefully leads folks to the original source. :)

this was meant to end
so long ago
how did it last
without the flicker
to fan the flames
this was meant to end
ever so long ago
why did it last
without inspiration
to fill the cracks
this was meant to end
it was written
from the beginning
a story of affection intersecting
for a blip of time
this was meant to end
the fire fading to ashes
in the cold of night
a different spark of life
come the light of day

I don't start work until 8am but I get to work early enough to have my tea. :)

I had the weirdest dream before waking up. It freaked me out a little because it felt to real. Those kinds of dreams are the strangest.

Warriors to San Francisco. I'm not sure what I think about it but I hope they don't change their name. Golden State Warriors has a nice ring to it. :)

if I catch your eye
then I will know I'm dreaming
a vision so sweet


Monday. Joy.

if hitting the snooze buttom meant a nap, I'd hit it

My new clock/dock for my iPhone/iPod for charging/listening at work. Happened upon it during our wandering of Fry's yesterday. I needed a new dock that could charge my iPhone and so there it is. The neat thing about it is that the time syncs with my iPhone's time. :D

the last of my m&m's...

Even though I'm happy that my shows are ending, I felt a little sad last night after The Game of Thrones ended because I didn't have Once Upon a Time to watch next. Alas! But oh, GoT is getting so good! I must admit, I'm quite partial to Robb Stark, Jon Snow, and Jaime Lannister. Those fellas keep me glued when they're on screen.

I'm enjoying my iPhone 4S! Is it wrong to like my electronic gadgets so much? I went without a case today, which was a bit scary but I made it back home without a scratch. My new case had arrived in the mail today so now my phone is protected in its new chrome-looking (but plastic feeling) case. Nice!

poem #1
falling so slowly
feeling quite lost and adrift
without an anchor


poem #2
leave me in shadow
where the cold dwells like lost love
away from the light


the weekend )
My attempt at capturing the eclipse...

if you kiss me now
the chaos will disappear

We had dinner at Sweeney's here in Brentwood. A little pricey but I was full in the end so that's good. :)

Journey well into the next, Donna Summer. Your songs remind me of younger days and you will always have a place in my musical memory...

poem #1
my muse eludes me
laughing somewhere out of reach
leaving me adrift


poem #2
is it time to say goodbye
smile and part ways
let the good memories linger
let go of the bad ones
is it time to say goodbye
brush away the tears
be glad for the days once ago
when love whispered in each embrace
is it time to say goodbye
take one last breath
then forge on ahead
follow another path

Tom Hardy in LAWLESS

Even though Tom Hardy's next movie is THE DARK KNIGHT RISES, I'm actually looking forward to LAWLESS. Would I want to watch the movie if he wasn't in it? A fair question. ;)

I did the following screencaps on my iPhone. How far has technology come? LOL

poem #1
where this is broken
the divide widens
the cracks deepen
what will save the inevitable
the nothing to follow
should we fight
shake our fists to the heavens
even as we crumble
knuckle under the pressure
have the fates decreed this
an unending struggle
powerless against destiny’s fist
as we can only wonder
can we rewrite the yet unwritten


poem #2
in another life
our wandering paths could cross
we may meet again

meandering slow
past forgotten memories
to the truth waiting

Hope the mothers out there had a great day. We went to Sacramento for brunch. It was good. :)

behind the light that shines
in silence darkness dwells
waiting with patience so cold
ready to rise and swell
what will it take
to trigger the chaos
scatter all hope
to ends far and lost
surely more than just a word
however carefully placed
cannot unleash the tide
splitting time and space
perhaps the trick is this
little by little let the darkness come
balanced with the shining light
together they are the sum

the LJ's new top banner

I LOVE LOVE LOVE my new banner here. Thank you [info]wahlee!!! You so very much rock. :D I could seriously stare at my LJ all day long if it weren't too insane. ;)

Here at the Rave, originally uploaded by walelia.

This is an old pic from October 31, 2008 and I had written:

"We're going to watch our first movie at Rave Motion Pictures. Our tickets say RocknRolla. A nice rated R movie. ;) I'll let you know how it goes."

How funny is that? (You know, because Tom Hardy is in this movie and I didn't really notice him. LOL!)

I am so amused

no, I don't need you
just disappear from my sight
and I will forget


This was my first full week of work since last month. How did I do that? Hmmm.

cake and ice cream

Cake and ice cream to celebrate a birthday at work. Yum!

the morning breeze blows
cool and fresh against the skin
as the sun rises


I kept thinking today was Wednesday. Weird, right?

poem #1
give my heart one leave
devoid of obligations
filled without promise


poem #2
I gave you one dance
a chance to sway my heart’s path
to somewhere unknown
