My neighbors cat ran into my apartment again today. I have no clue why this cat always wants to dart into my apartment right when I'm opening my door, but he does. And, everytime, he heads straight for the bathroom and jumps in the tub. I have a roman size tub, so it's not like I can just bend over and pick him up. I have to actually climb into the tub to reach the other side and get him. But, today, when I tried to do that, he started clawing at me and let out with some wild lunatic kind of hiss. So, I backed off of him because I didn't want to get scratched. "Here Kitty Kitty" didn't work. Opening a can of tuna didn't even get him to blink. I tried one more time to get him and he freaked out on me again. So, I'm standing there thinking, "you damn cat, I need to go to the store". Geez, I tell ya, I really love animals and cats are my favorite. I've always said that I like cats because they all have thier own personalities and they let it be known when they are happy, sad, mad or whatever. But, this cat. Geez. At least once every two weeks, we go through this. Normally he doesn't hiss at me though, so I don't mind too much. But, that hissing put me in an attitude pretty fast. And, that glare of his. My God. If looks could speak, it probably would have come out something like, "I am the demon child and I am going to rip your fucking eyes out if you try to pick me up, so back off!". So, I put up with him for about an hour and then decided that I had had enough. So, Yep, I did it. I turned the shower on after opening the front door. That cat was gone like a bat out of hell and left one long water streak on my carpet from the bathroom to the front door as he left. What can I say? I tried to be nice. I even tried to give that Damion Cat a can of tuna. Poor kitty. I guess eventually he will learn that I have my own personality too. LOL.

It was a brilliant weekend that just went by. The first this year, so I was siked about it. By Friday, I had decided that I was going to get out in the sun and hopefully get some color to this pale skin of mine that has been wrapped up in layers of sweatshirts and jackets all winter. Nothing major. I just wanted to sit in the sun for awhile in a tank top and shorts.
So, when I got up this morning I started looking around for suntan lotion or baby oil. Anything that would help me tan faster. Nothing. I swore that I had bought one or the other, but if I had, I sure the hell don't remember where I put it. So, instead, I fill the bathroom sink with warm water and dumped a ton of salt in it and stirred it around until it dessolved. I remember living in San Diego and always sunburning at the beach after swimming in the ocean. So, I figured, what the hell, salt water is salt water right? So, I splashed it all over me and then went out front and just sat in a chair facing the sun, and everytime, I dried off, I would go back and splash more salt water on me. Within a half an hour I was burnt on my shoulders and couldn't take the heat anymore and went back inside.
Mission accomplished though. Salt water works. LOL. Probably better than the suntan lotion. Okay, okay. It probably dried up my skin like crazy, but, hey, I'm tanned. LOL. I think I'm going to try my salt water trick again next weekend. LOL.

Ahh! I'm so glad to be home. Some days I can handle work just fine, but, then, somedays, I just can't wait to leave. Today, if I thought I could have managed it, I would have snuck out and come home earlier. Unfortunately, with what I do, I would be noticed, so that idea was out.
But, hey, tomorrow's Friday and payday Friday at that! Woo Hoo! From what everyone is saying, it will be the first weekend that will be sunny and in the mid 80's, so I'm siked. I can't wait to get out into the sun and do a bunch of nothing! It was so cold and windy today that it just made this weekend seem that much more appealing. I am so excited!!

This Heart
by Franki Deejai

Sometime after midnight,
Somewhere within the dark,
A bonfire lit the night up
For someone in the park.

And a heart sent out a prayer
For the heaven's above to hear.
One that asked for comfort
That would take away the fear.

A prayer that sent a message
From this lonesome heart tonight,
That said it's not okay here.
That said it's not alright.

And all it wants for solace
Is a night that's filled with peace.
Nothing more than one moment
Where the loneliness would cease.

Hoping it will be answered.
This heart waits restlessly.
I hope the answer comes soon,
Cause this heart belongs to me.

So, rumor has it that she isn't going to move on. That somehow, some way, she has found contentment in what they have. And, Villian, which is what we will call him, is not dumbfounded and lost.
Four months ago, it sounded like a great opportunity, regardless of what anyone told him, including myself. Four months ago, it was a fling waiting to happen and an exciting secret forever to be kept from his wife and two kids. Four months ago, Villian just wanted to get laid.
But, Justice, which is what we will call her, wasn't in it for the fun or secrecy. She wasn't in it for a one time thing. She liked Villain and didn't particularly care that he was married.
Now, four months gone by, she wants to have his baby, she refuses to go out with anyone else, and she waits...endlessly..patiently...for any and every moment that he calls or that she can call him. She shows up at his work. She begs him to come over. She falls deeper everyday.
And, Villian has tried everything. He has set her up with other men only to watch her turn them all down without a thought. He's resorted to being a prick to her hoping she would get pissed off and dump him, but the asshole in him thrills her and only makes things worse. He's talked to her about his wife and kids hoping that it will discourage her, but it never does. She doesn't mind being the secret that waits in the shadows for him.
Now, four months later, he looks at me, and the happy go lucky guy that I used to know has turned into a worn out broken man with no answers. He used to jabber on and laugh all the time. Now he stares off in the distance lost in his own mind. What can I tell him now? What can I possibly say that I didn't already say before this whole thing started. Lord knows, I don't want to blurt out, "I told you so", but the fact remains that I did.
Justice is a lonely woman broken and destroyed herself by a cheating man who left her alone and bitter. She's a clingy type of woman that doesn't know the meaning of the word "date". She only knows the words "commitment", "marriage", "forever" and "loyalty". I told him that seeing her in the fragile state that she was in would only lead to a fatal attraction. How could he hear me though? She said the right words at the right time and Villian couldn't think any further than the length of his ________ ( you fill in the blank).
And, now, I'm suppose to think of a way to get him out of it. Hmmph! Like I even know. I'm working on it, though. Well, let's just say, I'm trying. I guess my opinion right now is plain and simple...He's screwed. I guess we will see as time passes and the saga continues.

Alive
By Franki D

Today is more than a day.
It�s a blessing in disguise.
Today and any other day,
I�m thankful that I�m alive.

With chances still to flourish
And plant seeds to someday grow,
The seeds of inner wisdom
From within will someday show.

And still time for me to walk
Or run if I will choose
Down the pathways of my life
With a clarity I can�t lose.

Still moments to find the peace
And the patience to endure
All I once took for grant it.
Are taken that way no more.

Today I have a blessing.
Today I opened my eyes.
To another day of wonder
And another day to try.

The weekend was pretty dry and droll for me. I didn't do much of anything. I thought about going shopping, but couldn't think of anything I needed. I thought about going to the movies, but I didn't know anything about the movies that were at the theater. I thought about redecorating the apartment but then decided that I'm truly being a lazy ass this weekend and convinced myself that the apartment looks perfect exactly the way it is. So, instead, I watched movies that I hadn't seen in awhile that had been gathering dust since they were last touched, and hung around thinking about all the things that I could be doing if I wasn't being so damn lazy. Oh well, some weekends, it's worth it to just relax and be. But, hey, I thought about alot of stuff that I could have been doing, and I heard this rumor that it's the thought that counts. So, when you look at it from that perspective, I did a whole hell of alot of stuff!

Hi Everyone,
I am new to NuTang and still trying to figure things out on this site. Not sure how it all really works yet, but it looks a whole lot more fun that my Myspace account. Anyway, just wanted to say hi to anyone that happens to read it. Have a great day.
