My Must Read List (at some point in your life)

1) The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom

Quick read that offers a perspective to a question we all ask...what happens to me after I die?

2) Tuesdays with Morrie also by Mitch Albom

Must be my all time favorite book right...A very touching and personal account of the little theories of life from a dying sociologist's who firmly believes if we lived life according to these anecdotes life on this earth would be a better place.

3) I Know This Much is True by Wally Lamb

I can't even begin to tell you the emotions I went through while reading this book. You think you have problems, well just read what goes on with this twin brother and you'll realize how bad it can get.

4) How I Paid My Way Through College by Marc Aceito

Hilarious, fun read...WARNING....don't attempt to recreate the events which occurred in this book...you might not get away with it, although you'll difinitely get a good kick out of it!

I think i want a CAT

Okay so im not a big cat fan but i've been craving for a pet and just havent gotten one out of fear that my one year old son might try to eat or murder it or visa versa. But i'm thinking now, cats like to hide out and sleep which might be a good thing to have around my son because if it does come out of hibernation it will be able to escape my son's wrath if his little toddler fingers and drool mouth come near him/her since cats are also known to move pretty quickly. so what do you think?
Well let me also include this...i've never owned a cat as a pet before because I am a MAJOR DOG person. But i've had dogs for pets my entire life, indoor dogs who slept with me and outdoor dogs who lived in the yard.
And then there is also the expense...cat liter, dog food, you see i mean cat food, the little shit box they use, vet visits, shampoo...how often do you have to bath a cat? Then i have to clean the little shit box too....but that beats having to walk a dog several times a day...i dunno...im confused....you know what? I'd much rather own a ferret...I like them....but thats like another 300 bucks just to buy one. Meanwhile, a cat i can get for free at the ASPCA.....confused...and exhausted and bored all at the same time while at work and i have another 2 and a half hours here. ugg...

poem

Lost and searching but every so often im found
Lost and searching but every so often im found
Found within me
Found within the seas
The breezes
The life that eternally lives within me
Found within the smiles
Found within the warmth
Found in rebirth
The memories of childhood
The longing to live
I’m found in life
I’m found so far away from me sometimes
I get lost again in me looking again and again
Searching for me, searching for me
For home
For where I came from
For where I’m at
For where I’ll be
I’m lost and found in who I am
Who I am
Who am I
Am I who I am?I’m lost.
