Guilt. Anger. Co-dependency. High blood pressure. Oh...and then there's the bible that my great grandparents brought back with them from ireland in the 1800's. The recipe for home made gnocchi (from my father's mother). The ability to make pie crust (my mother's father was a pastry maker for the dock workers in SF). The recipes that both of my families have handed down.

The only person we can hand these down to is my niece. I don't think I will ever be married or have children.

i was born under the chinese sign of the earth monkey:
The youthful and clever Monkey is the eternal child of the Eastern zodiac. These highly diverse and bright souls are 'irrepressible.' Monkeys are quick, restless, enterprising, and sexual. Mischievous and high-spirited, Monkeys are social, active, convincing, and are gifted with a hilarious sense of humor. Imagination, ingenuity, and resourcefulness characterize those born into a year of the multifaceted Monkey. Versatile, curious and easily bored, impish Monkeys are witty companions, indulgent, intelligent, and always ready to play. This 9th sign of the zodiac is the most difficult to define due to their dual and sometimes contradictory nature. Monkey’s need mentally sharp partners who stimulate their cerebral resources. The best time of day for Monkeys are the hours they rule, between 3:00pm - 5:00pm.


Earth is the humid afternoon element, the symbol of the protected, padded nest, of peace and serenity; of slow and deep changes. Those born under the Earth element are more concerned with functional and practical aspects of life. They have exceptional practical powers and like solid and reliable objectives. The Earth endows each sign with more foresight and capacity for organization, and Earth element people are effective masterminds and creative executives. Stability, practicality, and reliability characterize those influenced by the Earth element. Earth allows each sign to use optimum resources and make wise and sensible in financial decisions. Those under this influence are serious and methodical in manner, building solid foundations in all that they do. Earth souls tend to be conservative by nature, and rarely exaggerate findings, calculations and expectations. The Earth element shoulders responsibilities admirably and demonstrates huge amounts of patience, whether it be with a hyperactive two year old, or a difficult spouse. Earth's' physical organs are the Spleen and the Stomach; it's flavor is Sweet. Earth's color is Yellow and corresponds to the end of Summer and humidity.

I would live. That's it. I just want to succeed at life. Everything else is just superficial. If I could learn to succeed at living it would be a great adventure indeed.

i would have to say i'm the scapegoat of the family. when something goes wrong with whatever...it's my fault. because i'm not like my sister or because i dont have a job or because i used too much of my mom's money to move here there and everywhere. that's been my job for nearly 30 years. i was the one who was a replacement for a child that was killed. because i wasn't a boy i had to live with my father's disappointment for most of my life. i have tried for years and years to make my family happy with me and at every corner i'm hit with "that was a dumb move" or "your fault makes me drink".

so...yeah...that's my role. scapegoat.

my childhood. now most people when reading that would think that i had been raped at an early age or something devistating happened to my family wherein i had to go to an orphanage or foster care or something. not true. when i say i lost my childhood, i'm referring to all the memories that make looking back such a great thing. i have been in 2 car accidents, and i should have died in both of them. because of that, i have suffered a loss of memory. when someone comes up to me and says "HEY! remember me" usually i'll have to ask them a series of questions to try to spark *something* of a memory, and usually then it's fleeting. my other option is to turn to a select group of friends and say "do i remember this person" and they'll tell me something that will spark the right memory...but again...it's usually fleeting. it's sad really because i remember a lot of the bad things that happened. like when i was very young and my father was in the hospital because he had pollops in his nose, and my sister and mom snuck me up to see him. when i got there, he had tubes all over him and he didn't look like himself. i said to my mom "that's not my daddy". that was the experience i had that made me not like hospitals. i had a similar experience this weekend with my father in a care facility after being in the hospital. it was another one of those "that's not my daddy" experiences. i wish that i could remember the happy times more often. i know that they're in there somewhere.

so yeah...with all the times someone has taken something from me or even the time in 1976 when i was in second grade and came home to find the house had been robbed...nothing compares to the memories that have been swiped from me because of 2 car accidents.

i would have a tea shop. it would be called tisa's tea party. i would sell truffles and i would invite people to have tea parties...especially children. there's really no tea shoppes in our area let alone ones that cater to children.

michael martin murphy who wrote wildfire:

She comes down from yellow mountain
On a dark, flat land she rides
On a pony she named wildfire
With a whirlwind by her side

On a cold Nebraska night
Oh, they say she died one winter
When there came a killing frost
And the pony she named wildfire
Busted down his stall
And in a blizzard he was lost

She ran calling wildfire
Calling wildfire
Calling wildfire

By the dark of the moon I planted
But there came an early snow
There's been a hoot owl howling by my window now
For six nights in a row
She's coming for me I know
And on wildfire we're both gonna go

We'll be riding with wildfire
Riding with wildfire
Riding with wildfire

On a wildfire we're gonna ride
We're gonna leave sod bustin' behind
Let these hard times right out if my mind
Riding wildfire
