About Me
- Joyce Ellen Davis
- 1. In dreams I am often young and thin with long blond hair. 2. In real life I am no longer young, or thin, or blonde. 3. My back hurts. 4. I hate to sleep alone. (Fortunately I don't have to!) 5. My great grandfather had 2 wives at once. 6. I wish I had more self-discipline. (I was once fired from a teaching position in a private school because they said I was "too unstructured and undisciplined." --Who, me??? Naaaahhh....) 7. I do not blame my parents for this. Once, at a parent-teacher conference, the teacher told me my little boy was "spacey." We ALL are, I told her. The whole fan damily is spacey. She thought I was kidding. I wasn't. 8. I used to travel with a theater reperatory company. My parents weren't happy about this. 9. My mother was afraid that I would run off and paint flowers on my cheeks and live in a commune, and grow vegetables. I once smoked pot. ONE TIME. 10. I don't drink or smoke. (Or swear, much. Well, I drink milk, and water, and orange juice, and stuff. Cocoa. I love Pepsi.) 11. Most of my friends are invisible. 12. I am a poet and a writer. All of my writing on these pages is copyrighted. Borrowing (without acknowledgment) is a sin.

Isn't he pitiful? What an insensitive man to say that to those parents. As if he had any inkling at all of what they are going through. And he doesn't ever appear to feel any guilt either. I can't stand the man - sorry if it's disrespectful to say that about another country's leader ... but I think the feeling's mutual?
Turns my stomach......ugh. But great sentence.
Add bad acting to the list! Ewww
Amen!
Thank goodness we're in an election year.
yep, why doesnt he zip it!
He makes me physically sick to my stomach when I see him in a picture or on tv. He ditched his duty when it was his turn to serve, and now he claims to shed tears over our fallen soldiers? What a dickweed.
You know, Stanislavski's theory goes out that if you mimic the facial expression of an emotion, you will eventually feel it.
Would that were true!
