Happy Birthday, Johnny!
The earth stood still for a minute on this day a few years ago and Johnny got on!!! You’re my favorite boy doll on earth and I love you with the heat of a thousand suns.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
P.S. Like the evergreen otter that I am, I (Lisa) made this post and then very cleverly changed the author on it so he would get the notifications. So gush away. :D

Sacrificial Lamb
Back in the 90s I worked in the marketing and advertising department of a funeral home in Toledo, Ohio. Part of my job was to contact people about pre-arranging their funerals. Of course people did NOT want to talk to me, let alone pre-arrange however once they thought about it we did pre-arrange many a funeral for families who were more than grateful once the need did arise.
My daily duties found me in several places throughout the building and in the basement, which is where all the adminis...

My heart is the pusher
The pound of flesh carved
Weighed on questionable scales
All for the sake of smiles
Still the artist thrives

Music Theme ~ The Drive
It was my turn to choose the theme this week. I love going for drives. It is one of the few ways to force myself to sit still, while still moving forward.
“Maybe I drive to get off…”
Driving always makes for a good date. There are no crowds, good music and time alone with your favorite person.
If I am driving, fear can’t take the wheel…
Sometimes I drive alone and swear I’m never coming back…
At the end of the drive, when I’ve said too much and made her dizzy, it’s time to take her home…

In Faith
Taunt my desire in fits and starts
Hold me to the flame, truth in part
Rip the seams of our fantasies
Singe the wistful threads of ecstasy
Erase the memories that might stain
Distract me with your brand of pain
Walk me down the path of deceit
Show me why it never ends
Cradle my vulnerability in your hands
I will surrender to every demand
I offer no contingency, only truth
Reach through to touch the proof
Only you can see in this darkness
A failing sun’s bleary evening bow

Maze of Madness
I dont know what Im fighting for,
Can’t tell if there’s a way inside,
Which one of the doors will open,
Or if I should dust off and hide.
When I look in the mirror,
Memories of what was to be,
I only see faults,
Ghosts of the past haunt me.
To find a way to escape,
The hand that was dealt,
Such a cruel fate,
Unlike anything ever felt.
Each door leads astray,
The same path,
Just a different way,
No escape from the maze.
Still I keep swinging
Cutting away at the vines
That keep me tied
Outside...
The Chorus
Drink from the fountain in truth and love
Keep me in the distance between light and shadow
We need a respite from the injustice of the land
Voices ringing through the air in mass explosion
What would it sound like if we all stomped our feet at the same time
There is a connection in unified ascent
A diving down and slamming a landing
A holding of hands in a chain of symphonic derision
Test the song of your soul in majestic vision
Family infinitely banded together in consecutive relation

Reason
Brimstone pebbles line my pockets
Settling the mist as I pass through
Feeling the fires of your hell inside
Taming rapids as I glide overground
Breathing flames for the sake of nothing
Reciting ancient text as I slip in unnoticed
All because of where I’ve been, how I see
Though I have no use for weapons of war
Lack of reasoning lies dead on the floor
Your stare alone makes me want more
