--LOVE SEED--


this is the place I hang my head
the dreams i dreampt are long since dead
in the time it takes to write a verse
another shot is twice disperced
~
this is the place i sew the seed
of the lie that flourished(an became a tree)
now a garden never mowed
an empty shell of a former soul
~
this it the time i slung so low
that i grazed my hand on sand and stone
never knowing is to never care
and on and on till lungs cant bare air
~
this is the place I end my rhyme
executed in walls of precision time
I'll leave you with another line...
i loved and lost in too short a time....

--Recovering Addict to-do List--

  1. Stop Isolating either literally or in some other politically correct way.
  2. Get to a 12 Step meeting of some sort, if you have been attending your "home-group" regularly and still have some anxiety issues try a new meeting out, it is quite common for an addict to even isolate in their own home group.
  3. Call your sponsor.
  4. Do what is on your plate for the day and prioritize tasks, don't try to do everything at once.

Do not medicate, recovery does not always feel good - trying to feel good was what got you into all the messes in the first place.

--Bugatti Veyron--



The Bugatti Veyron 16.4’s home is in Molsheim-Dorlisheim, the French town where, almost 100 years ago, Ettore Bugatti began to realize his lifelong dream of being a car manufacturer. The new workshop is not just where the engine and vehicle are assembled and tested, it is also the place where customers collect their Bugattis and drive them out onto the streets for the first time.

The aim is to turn Molsheim into an all-round Bugatti centre once again. While up to 70 new vehicles a year are built by hand in the new facility, neighbouring specially-equipped workshops are the scene of expert restoration work on historic Bugatti vehicles. Both past and future have found a new home here.

--BRAIN Test--


You are a right brain dominant student!
You probably get bored during long lectures and prefer to take classes with a lot of freedom of movement and thought. You like to write stories and even tell stories about your funny experiences. You might be a little suspicious of other people's motives sometimes, but that's only because you can usually tell whenever someone is lying or when they're up to no good. You are a little on the dreamy side--or a lot. You plan books or movie plots but you don't always follow through on things you think about. You should work on that. You are fun and spontaneous, and probably active in sports or clubs. Your feelings run deep, and it shows. You have strong instincts, and you solve problems on hunches and feelings. You are artistic in some way. You can believe in things based on experience, without seeing scientific proof. You might be a finalist on Survivor some day, since you know how to read people so well, and you have great survival instincts.
