Screaming Lasagna

Weekly Contest #306

Allowing my hairy paws to trample through the early morning dew on the spring grass. I'm used to it. Must be early May, feels like summer must be on the way. My golden coat of fur to warm my exterior wealth. Went by Jessie's she must of overslept. Not a chance of romance early today. I'll catch her a little later. She always needing a cat nap or two, three. I had to stop off at old Romone's though, Mr. Devineer, show star. Had a late niter out with the boys. Looks and sounds like I missed out on a real showstopper of a good time down by the ...

End of the road

Weekly Contest #305

The roads I traveled and led a far. I come to share. I am a career minded person with great ambition morals values a real optimistic and born achiever. To help complete my journey ahead there's always that dollar sign that has a tendency to cramp my style. I can draw a lot of pictures here but I won't. That would become boring and confusing as we would have the same damn dream captions available. And trust me there are a lot of those out there. You can't put a price on a persons worthiness. You just can't. Feelings are always in stone and ar...

Journaling for "today"

Weekly Contest #304

Today was the beginning an awakening of a new day. Performance at its greatest. I haven't even opened my eyes yet and behind my dashboard I can feel my angels in a distance sparkling and disappearing upon my recognition. Blessings are so welcoming. The greatness I feel inside is overwhelming and sanctification. Like my soul has rejuvenated and alignments with my limbs are fulfilled. My four wheels on my automatic frozen solid. My brain is ticking away like clocks on the sound system. Take it away bellamy. My green eyes opening to support my ...

Final Offer at 05:00 hour

Weekly Contest #297

Scheduling. Who would think of a plan to illustrate my time spent. Now a budget is simplicity with money. That would be a "time budget". There is only one major difference between time and money and that's we can borrow money and we can't borrow time. Once time is gone its gone and there is no way to get it back. Because there's no way to borrow more. We need to analyze focus on time spent wisely. As designing our schedule we create achievement. Anyway we don't let others dictate our agendas. Daily, weekly, monthly. Don't be discouraged. No ...

Blue Eyes

The real owner of such a fortress, senses.Seeing is always believing.Visionary impulses are created as early as birth. Duly noted by witnessing familiar content. Eyes can play a joke on you. God's love is no joke. Babies can transgress into childhood. Inception is not the point of this factor. We usually want to decide on conception with a detrimental gender allocation. Creations are met during the pregnancy. God forms his works for most desirable relationships with our intermittent family.The five senses touch taste smell sight hearing. Six...
