In a nautical mood of late...

A ship is a bit of terra firma cut off from the main; it is a state in itself; and the captain is its king. (Herman Melville) His life on the sea, Started as a cabin boy did he, Rose to mate, then first, Many a time of his captain he cursed� Felt the belt, then the cat, Knows where the Pyrenees�s are at, Sailed the seven seas and then some, His grave the sea around Montserrat� He lived his life as a man should, Fighting Nature & loving her the best he could, His virginity lost in the first big gale, Though THIS captain knows not of the sail, In his dreams he does captain a vessel not so frail, In reality his boat did make him feel male� � ed ~ 1/28/06

Growing up alone is not so bad...

Alone in life...

Memories I am Unable to Forget...

To wish for death...

I find it interesting that only in the wee hours of the morning is when I find myself able to write anymore... <br>

Rain, thunder & lightning, oh my...

Hey, I think I might have found a little humor...?
