Try to ignore me,
I won't go away.
I am a stalker,
I will not give way.
Born to follow,
And sneak around.
Don't try to avoid me,
My tactics abound.
Lessons I have learned,
As I track my prey.
Run if you must,
I am here to stay.
Don't worry about me,
I will cause no harm.
I'm not a 300 lb lurker,
Don't sound the alarm.
I sit in my office,
Or sometimes the bar.
Just come and talk to me,
You'll see I am a star.
To all of the stalkers,
Out and about.
There's a meeting at eight,
At a bar, no doubt.
Put on your disguises,
And show you're really cool.
The drinks on the house,
Don't be late, I'll save a stool.

Follow up part 2 and other things
For those interested, I went to see an orthopedic doctor yesterday and at least got some options in treating my knee pain.I have fairly advanced osteoarthritis. It is in my hands as well. He suggested ibuprofen for pain, weight loss (the hardest part of it all) and injections in my knee. They could inject cortisone for pain management or hyaluronic acid (in some form) which helps maintain the cartilage that I have left. Of the two injections he suggests the second. You get a series of three injections, one a week for three weeks, and they usually last for 6 months. So I guess that is the option I am going to take. Work should love it since after each injection you can't do a thing (except go to the bathroom, drs words) for 24 hours. He said I can look forward to knee replacement in the future, but the injections should hopefully push that off some years. Always nice to have something to look forward to.
No concerts to look forward to at present. Not by choice, I get emails from all the major ticket outlets and venues, just no one catches my interest. Daughter has tickets to see Britney Spears but luckily found someone to go with so I don't have too. Phew.... I have seen most of the artists I want too, but I am sure there are some I just can't think of, so when I see the tickets on sale I will buy them. There are a few bands putting out new cds this year. Keane, who I have seen has a new cd so they should be touring again. U2 and Greenday have new cds coming out and I would like to see them....will let you know.
Started watching 24 this season for the first time. Watched the episode with Robert Carlyle and got hooked. Robert Carlyle is a favorite actor of mine. Unfortunatly he was killed off so... I am enjoying the current run, but I have a problem with jeanine garofalo. She had a bigger career in the 80's as a commedianne, actor. I never really cared for her then and now all she can do is frown and look scared. Maybe they will kill her off..
Ok I will stop boring you all now and get some sleep. Oh and one more thing, I entered some poems in a local newspaper contest. Should find out next week. Wish me luck as it is the first time I have tried to publish anything.

Just to hear....
Just to hear a thank you,
For the things that are done.
Any appreciation,
Is a battle, hard won.
Just to hear, how are you?
When something doesn't go right.
If feeling under the weather,
Why is it always a fight.
Just to hear, what's new with you?
What's going on inside.
When life has its ups and downs,
It's not always taken in stride.
Just to hear, I love you,
When not said out of habit.
Do you really mean it?
Perhaps I should just grab it.
Just to say them back myself,
Often seems a chore.
Perhaps it's time to evaluate,
What's inside, deep in the core.

Invisible Friends
Aren't we all a little odd...
To be hanging out with invisible friends..
But then if they give me shit I can log off.
And return when, it depends.
To switch off and retreat,
Is something we can't do in life.
We have to deal with day to day,
The fun, the joy, the strife.
I like my friends,
That are behind the screen.
Who understand these things,
But I leave it up to them, what it is to be seen.
The eyes don't deceive you,
Since the face is never shown.
You know what I what you too,
My personality, on loan.
So let us just be friends,
We still have a lot to learn yet.
And let's enjoy it when we can,
Our life for the internet.

Pride
To me it has a cowards ring,
For one who doesn't hide, behind anything.
Smoke and mirrors, what the hell?
Another way to avoid as well.
Pride is a mighty thing,
Mess with it, and I feel the sting.
Embarassment is the worse,
Private or public, always a curse.
And humiliation a bitter pill,
Just have to suffer through it still.
To warn others of this path,
Would only cause undo wrath.
I play fair, despite,
To be vengeful, would feel right.
Now back to pride,
It's hard to hide.
On lifes long and difficult ride.

Ease
There are things out there
Made just to please.
We each have to find them,
What puts us at ease.
For some it is a hobby,
Others it is a sport.
To each his own I say,
Something one has to sort.
Often a good meal
Is all that is called for.
Just to be waited on,
Dinner, drinks and more.
But sometimes all I need,
To put me at ease.
Is a bag of Doritos,
And the only flavor-blue cheese.

Follow up
Not sure who is interested but to follow up on "Payback is a Bitch" I have been enjoying Oasis music even more after seeing them live. I have a playlist on my ipod that follows the playlist of the show. Great memories. I hear rumors they may be back in the US in the spring. I hope to be there.
I also sprained my left ankle in NYC and landed on my right knee (the bad one). After two weeks I decided to have it looked at, and on the suggestion of the husband went to the ER. I work in a hospital so went after the night shit was over. The place was packed and my "room" was H5, hallway 5, right next to the nurses station. I guess working there has no privleges. Thank god it wasn't a personal problem. After hours of waiting, this is where having a BlackBerry comes in handy, I finally got an xray of the ankle and it is sprained but not broken. The knee she (dr) says needs to be seen by an ortho, it appears I have a torn miniscus. Great, I already have no cartilage in that knee. Will follow up on Monday. Left the ER finally with crutches, an air cast and a script for some great pills. What pain???
We got our electricity on after four days, there were some friends who had it off for over a week. The pioneer strength of New Englanders knows no bounds. I figure ours came on when it did because we bought a generator, at great expense, that morning. It is still in the box, but we will save for the next time. Pray we never use it.
The snow storms the following week were intense but the driving wasn't too bad, I guess I am finally getting used to it, sadly. Contemplating a move to Australia. (not really but to hear an Aussie talk, 32C on Christmas sounds nice.)
The flu after my trip to England is long gone but sometimes I think my stomach and......will never be the same. Old age I figure.
So now the holidays have passed maybe some normalcy will return. Who knows I have two teenagers. I haven't made any resolutions, I always fail. The only thing I have thought of is, this is going to be my year. Not sure what that means but I will figure it out. Time to "shit or get off the pot" so they say.
I'll let you know. xx
