Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

my mind always says yes
too bad my body can be a real stick in the mud

of course it's just my catholic guilt
torturing me to feel about something......about nothing

perhaps that I haven't accomplished more today
than yesterday, urged to feel sick when I am idle

my brain was thoroughly washed when I was younger
heavy duty triple spin super clean

today my left frontal lobe is all over the place
a pinball lookin' for some hungry flippers

happy to bounce around with lights and rapid-fire bells
a random traveler praying for life beyond the tilt

mind set on a single replay, it's not a lot to ask
I'm not asking for immortality

oh, that Catholic guilt - "Bless me Father, for I have sinned: I looked at pictures of undraped women in that magazine I found in the trash behind the town hall - and I ENJOYED it..."

We were taught that touching ourselves inappropriately was likely to incur an eternal sentence in Satan's realm unless we came clean in the Confessional - but I had had a workaround. I'd lump any such tactile experimentation under "Impure Thoughts", and then conclude my confession with "Lying". I figured I had all the bases covered, and that this stratagem would automatically cleanse my soul of any stain.....

great response my friend....

I had a blessed childhood, no adult in my family threatened me with life after death
I still envy true believers
When I hear the phrase catholic guilt I think of this pardon ramble thanks for writing

good to hear from you truck
I was curious how you were making out
its been awhile.......surgery successful ?

heart surgery went well, eye surgery sceduled next week,, tanks for asking.
I am ready rEADy TEDDY at this moment
i';ll go down rocking
in the mean time I count my blessings

I believe the most precious gift I have received from my parents besides this life is my siblings..

She is a high maintenance sister but she has given me high maintenance in return.

Her long black trains of thoughts
are giving way to laughter
absurdities
We have come a long way together me and baby sister.
Suicide my worst fear for others, so maybe for myself too. Projection?

may as well Not give into the forces that insist you try to fix things that aren't working' well....
