Deep In The Forrest

This goes out to Tamra (not my sister by blood, but my blood sister!). I've already sent her an e-Card, and I texted her this morning, but it wouldn't be her Birthday if I didn't pay tribute to her on my Blog for her Birthday. She and I didn't quite grow up together, but we have been friends for a very long time, and been through a lot. Really, we have had to be there for each other through so many things. I 'wouldn't take nuthin' for her' as my Dad would say, she's #1 in my book. Everyone should have the blessing of knowing this girl, she is truly amazing, and has one of the biggest hearts I know. Not everyone is lucky enough, or really worthy of being her B.F.F. but I hope I always am. She and I are misunderstood quite often, but if people only knew how deep our minds run, how big our hearts are, and how infinite our imaginations, the world would be a better place. Happy Birthday and Much Love Tamra!!! From... Me

Today is my best friend's birthday! This is not my sister by blood, but she is my blood sister. I want to send her the sincerest Birthday wishes. Divorce the number baby! You will always have it goin on no matter what!! Everyone send her some birthday shout outs, and I'll just dedicate this post to my "best mate" Tamra. A short history of our friendship is in order I think, today. Roll with me here. :) I knew who she was in High School, although we weren't friends or really acquainted back then. I do remember that we were interested in the same guy once, as told to me by another mutual acquaintance. The funny part about that is that we both got him as a conquest (not at the same time you perverts, different points in our lives), and neither one of us were impressed... lol! All's well that ends well, really. So after High School, I got a job at our local Wal*Mart, and worked with a girl named Sherry. Sherry was Marge Simpson in the flesh (so named by her Dad j...

I'm sure alot of you want to know more about my other exploits with either Bryan or the Fireman... We'll just have to follow the path of my inspiration, I have to strike as they come. Going to see bands play used to be alot of fun, Tamra and I would go all out, dress to the nines and the whole deal. Once, we even had our Moms make us red velvet dresses which we wore with a red feather boa and red devil horns... I'll post that pic and story sometime soon. We had many people want their photo taken with us that night, and got lots of attention. Nowadays, sadly, it is rare that I get to go and see anyone play. I need to make a point to change that, especially with worthy acts that come to town... which for some reason has decreased in numbers in the last months and years... Nobody good comes to town much anymore. Probably because they run into too much political conflict between trying to play the FedEx forum, or finding a place to play at all, or issues with Clear Channel. How...

I think it's true that a diamond doesn't know its worth, because everyone admires its beauty from time-to-time, but maybe its taken for granted that it is so special in its own way. People are blinded by the way it glistens, or makes them look good, but never take the time to allow it to come to the realization that it is so special just because theres no other one cut just like that one. My best bud Tamra, is one of those, with a cut like none other, she doesn't know how wonderful she is or how the world is a better place because she is here. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TAMRA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Doesn't the time fly? Just seems like yesterday that we were cruising with Big E. The two "Blonde Mamas" as Bo used to call us, causing trouble everywhere, the prank phone calls and general mayhem that we enjoyed inflicting... Where does it all go? We became nicknamed 'The Evil Duo'. Maybe i'll make everyone wait another day for the Mr. J saga, and instead tell a wicked t...
