The cars are rushing at me, but I can't move.
"I love someone!" I shouted.

A woman looked up, startled, as her husband swerved around me.

My hair is wild; my hands have been through it so many times they are greasy.

I can feel my heart in my chest, the leaden thump, the sick sideways lurch that pretends to be a heartbeat.

"I love someone!"

I can hear it echoing off the stone and glass of the office blocks and Georgian tenements of Queen Street.

A light flickers on across the street and a girl in just a bra pokes her head through her curtains to glare at me.

"I love someone!"

It's so loud my head rushes like the Raukawa Falls and reminds me of the last time I felt this pain.

The steed of this Valley is Pain...

My knees are on the pavement now, chewed gum and cigarette butts and chip wrappers from Festival revellers.

My eyes are deserts. They have nothing left to cry.

The girl in the window hears me, she looks sad, then down, then away, biting her lip, the curtain closing.

A lover is he who is chill in hell fire. A knower is he who is dry in the sea.

"I love someone!"

I'm looking at the stars now. There are millions of them, the scattered ashes of my cremated heart. I try to clutch at them; I want to cling to life.

"Please..." I whisper. "Please..."

"I love someone." It's barely a whisper now, and I know I have to go to bed, the bed, our bed, my bed, my half-bed, love's coffin, the quilt a shroud, tear-made salt stain rings. I have to wash this before I give it back. I think.

Cake is playing in my head. "She'll come back to me. She'll come back to me. All day, I wait and wait to hear her footsteps on my walkway. She never came. She never even called."

I'm so full of love I'm choking on it, swollen with it, ready to burst with it.

"Please..." Comes out again. I don't know what I'm even pleading. Who knew?

I'm inside now. I don't know how I managed the key. The trash needs to go out. It's Thursday. It's stacked at the bottom of the steps. I'm carrying the bags outside. My upstairs neighbor's bags are heavy.

Quiet, quiet; my sister is sleeping, her husband beside her, in the spare room.

"I love someone." I whisper to the dark living room, but the sofa knows, the chair knows, the floor knows. The fireplace knows, nodding in somber sympathy.

I want to respond to this without trivializing your emotion. Intention stated.

Thank you for sharing this. It's beautiful.

Thank you, Kristen.

Sweetheart,
My heart breaks with yours. I check your blog on a regular basis, hoping against hope that you will be there, that I can get a glimpse into your life, that you will share with me. I love someone, too. You.

I think back to when you were 4 and we were over at Debbie and Richard's. The girls had teased you or hurt your feelings and you came to me. I asked you what was wrong, you told me and then said, "I feel like a flower -- that has been picked." You were so sad, and my heart broke for you then, too.

Oh, Maman. Don't you worry. I'm okay.

I'm just sad sometimes.

I love you, Maman.

I don't worry; I know you are a big boy and can handle it. But I don't want you to be sad. No, I want you to be happy. I love you, too. And I feel your pain.

Why does the sun go on shiniing? Why does the sea rush to shore?
Dn't they know - it's the end of the world- Cause you don't love me anymore?

Why do the birds go on singing? Why do the stars glow above? Don't they know - it 's the end of the world?
It ended when I lost your love.


I wake up in the morning and I wonder
hy everythings the same as it was.
I can't understand, no I can't understand how life goes on the way it does.


Why does my heart go on beating, why do these eyes of mine cry? Don't they know it's the end of the world? It ended when you said goodbye.

Life is pain, highness. Anyone who says otherwise is selling something.

I'm too numb to be original. The gut wrenching emotion is familiar and time is my arch nemesis. So too, is the poison surrounding me- choking me, stripping me of sanity. I am paralyzed.

Ah Rae, ah, Rae. Yes, it's true.

I'm feeling pretty low at the moment. It's 0457. I couldn't even tell you why I'm up.

The sinew of love is the grist of life and likeness. The affableness of love is continuous to a gladsomeness while the anguishment of love is also constant. Side by side they tumble into our lives and we always seem to suffer the sinews of love daily. I call it life. Some think of it as pain. Some know both too well.
Lately, I find it easier to tell you that, with all my heart, and powers of life, that I love you. I hope that , in some measure, it may ease your entwining sinews of love.

Hey, Papa!

Thank you. It does help. This morning wasn't so bad, and seeing your comment made me feel better.

I love you, too, Papa!

Hey Nathan
why not come out to New zealand for 6 months and help me lick a border management infrastructure into shape? 2 Summers in a row can't be bad for a broken heart.
Russell

I hope things are better for you now Nathan.

If its any comfort I found these words a while back and they make a lot of sense to me.

For me unhappiness comes from either dwelling too much on the past or dreaming too much about the future. It is only when I focus on the present that I feel truly content.

I believe it all comes down to having unfulfilled wants. You see for me, dwelling on the past is a want, because I yearn to re-live memories that cannot be re-lived, and to dream is a want, because my imagination runs wild, painting a very idealised and romantic picture that can never really be achieved to such perfection. The knowing that these thoughts are either rooted in the past or future, and are therefore either not possible to live at all, or only very far in the future (though, isnt it funny how "the future" keeps moving forward?), is ultimately what makes me unhappy.

Its only when I pull myself out of a state of being in the past or in the future and count my blessings of the present that I feel happy, because I have no wants or desires, I'm simply living the moment.

Nathan, you &*$%# pansey. I hope you read your own blog fairly often, because this is pretty much the only mechanism I have for getting in contact with you. Drop me a line, before I start posting embarrassing stories about you for your family.

I have discovered that wearing awesome clothes improves my self esteem and doesn't make me that self conscious about being significant. I believe everybody should certainly at least give this a try for 1 week and see how it works for them!

I am grateful to you for this excellent content. You definitely did make my day :

I'd like to follow this site with my twitter. How can I do this?

I just wanted to comment & say that I was very impressed with the design on your blog & also your writing skills.. happy holidays!

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It's very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

Sorry for the huge review, but I'm really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it's the right choice for you.

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass' favor.

Nice blog.keep up the good work.

couldn't have said it better! Well done.. take care

Thanks for all the information. On a facet note, how do you take care of all the spam you get in your weblog? My new weblog is getting destroyed by random spammers and I have been spending quite a lot of time and power deleting comments its simply not funny. .

Previously, advertising conference bags are in the models of the Lords was, but now by the small laptop, replaced by out of hand. In these promotional conference bags can be easily installed kits conference. In short, tidy and professional.

How do you get your shares? You can wholesale Louis Vuitton Replica Handbags From China and accessories suppliers. There are websites, which compiled a list of credible suppliers in a bag that saves you time to search high and low for them in the vast jungle Internet.

Nice site! I adore a few from the articles that have been written, and especially the comments posted! I will definately be returning!

I feel like you could probably teach a class on how to make a great blog. This is fantastic! I have to say, what really got me was your design. You certainly know how to make your blog more than just a rant about an issue. Youve made it possible for people to connect. Good for you, because not that many people know what theyre doing.

Allison, you`re a darling as always

Metropolis of Melbourne is amount a person. The depth of their redesign was incredible, and its applications throughout all media is the two refreshing and useful. I'm unsure if AOL meets the exact same amount of usefulness. Confident, it truly is a step more than the prior design, but how much extra so? And also to what finish? Nicely, that is definitely my two cents. Peace.

Autumn is with us and we again before the same dilemma: What Fashion Design Handbags of hot summers and fashion colors bag? And above all, the color you prefer. This may be a difficult choice, with hundreds of glossy fashion magazines advertises any color under the autumn sun, the right choice is literally mind blowing? But not required.

This case is not different from all the portfolios in the world, if we look closely is. It can be used to carry things, and only a few pockets. But the women see it not so. Prices on the subject, and its rarity makes something worth more than all the other Fake Handbags China in a department store. Learn more value in love and low in you.

Aw, this was a truly top quality post. In theory I'd like to write like this too - taking time and real effort to create a good post... but what can I say... I procrastinate alot and by no means seem to get something performed.

Please slowly back away from the computer right now. Of all the dag nab darn fool things I read in the last year, this drivel takes the friggin cake. I wasn't expecting "Hukleberry Finn" but crimney mate this is giving me a case of heebee jeebees! LOL

I don’t unremarkably comment but I gotta state thankyou for the post on this amazing one : D.

Thanks for this great post..

Thanks for this great post, i will post trackback from me.

If you're still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you'll know which is right for you.

I am so happy to read this. This is the type of manual that needs to be given and not the random misinformation that is at the other blogs. Appreciate your sharing this greatest doc.

Thank you for the sensible critique. Me & my neighbor were just preparing to do some research on this. We got a grab a book from our area library but I thGreat ˇV I should certainly pronounce, impressed with your site. I had no trouble navigating through all tabs and related info ended up being truly easy to do to access. I recently found what I hoped for before you know it in the least. Quite unusual. Is likely to appreciate it for those who add forums or anything, site theme . a tones way for your customer to communicate. Excellent task..

I am very happy to read this. This is the kind of manual that needs to be given and not the accidental misinformation that is at the other blogs. Appreciate your sharing this greatest doc.

I like what you guys are up too. Such intelligent work and reporting! Carry on the excellent works guys Iˇ¦ve incorporated you guys to my blogroll. I think it will improve the value of my website :)

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like 'Mixview' that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you're listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of "neighbors" will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune "Social" is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

Thanks for sharing superb informations. Your web site is so cool. I am impressed by the details that youˇ¦ve on this web site. It reveals how nicely you understand this subject. Bookmarked this website page, will come back for extra articles. You, my pal, ROCK! I found simply the info I already searched everywhere and simply could not come across. What a great website.

I was just looking for this information for a while. After 6 hours of continuous Googleing, finally I got it in your website. I wonder what's the lack of Google strategy that do not rank this type of informative sites in top of the list. Normally the top web sites are full of garbage.

Between me and my husband we've owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I've settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

Maybe you have thought of adding more alot more video lessons on your web sites to help keep readers more entertained? I mean I just read all through the piece of yours also it was quite smart question Im an increased amount a visible learner,Click here for that to be more helpful well inform me how it seems!

I’ve to confess that i generally get bored to learn the entire thing but i feel you may add some value. Bravo !

The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it'll do even better in those areas, but for now it's a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod's strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

Blogs Very informative article. Ive found your blog via Yahoo and I?m really glad about the information you provide in your posts. Thank You for sharing this very informative article Regards

Wow this really takes me back, sending this to my mates now.

I wasn't aware of some of the material that you wrote about so I want to just say thank you for posting, i am just a newbie in the internet business, need to learn a lot from the gurus.

I really want to believe that its safe to listen to you. I just read the preliminary report about the inquiry into why people were infected with hepatitis C and HIV from contaminated blood and blood products. Hundreds of people in Scotland, including haemophilia sufferers and other patients, were given contaminated blood in the over a period of about 20 years. Which is completely beyond belief. I found this site on home remedies for piles and everything looks to be true.

very good post. i like that very much. thanks so much for sharing. hope u can post much more good articles for us to learn together. thanks for your time.

I've been wondering lately - why it seems like everybody has been looking in the same places for the inspiration and you give answers. Thank you for the insight!

Thank you! You often write very interesting articles. You improved my mood.I'll be back again.

Wow, great post! Well-written, informative and eye-opening. Will definitely be checking out your blog more in the future :)

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod's. It works well, but isn't as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that's not an issue, but if you're planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod's larger screen and better browser may be important.

Itˇ¦s in reality a great and helpful piece of info. I am happy that you simply shared this useful info with us. Please keep us up to date like this. Thank you for sharing.
