And, yeah, I like to think I'm not materialistic jerk, but I think I'd be in compelte chock if everything was gone, just like that.<br /><br />@Tryean - Glad to help make your day! :) Goodness, people and their rules for authenticity. Your poet if you write poems and call yourself a poet.<br /><br />Anytime you want to let out literary angst over here, you're welcome to. If there's one thing that the Nevetsverse is comfortable with its angst.<br /><br />Thanks again, Tyrean. I need to catch up on some of your posts and help remind myself of those blessings.C. N.

Lol! Thank you for making my day!<br /><br /> I had a conversation with a poet at the library recently who told me that my poetry must not be good literature because I had only been published at web-zines and in a college newspaper. Those don't count as "real" publishing credits, according to her. Plus, a "real" poet would never write stories or a blog, or anything mundane.<br /> AAGh! Sorry. Just letting some of my "literary" inner angst out.<br /><br />I hope your car gets fixed soon, and your living situation gets better. I live in an old house with lots of fixer upper problems, so I get the frustration. <br />I'm glad that your cousin's family is ok and they have a good place to go during a real life drama.<br />Hoping your day gets better today.Tyrean Martinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15356604721537744361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3681522276752048718.post-35850724639684956392010-12-01T14:01:42.272-05:002010-12-01T14:01:42.272-05:00Mister C.N.

About 15 years ago, one of my cousins showed up at my door in the middle of the night. "My apartment building burned down!"
