About Me

I have anything but a cold dead heart….

Old enough to know better….

Happier than the title implies….

Hungry for everything and every experience….

Blogging about whatever comes to my swirly mind….

    “swirly” is the best new word ever.

    I like the idea of “swirly.” My mind sometimes feels like there’s a tornado or two zinging around in there and writing helps keep my ears from slapping each other.

    I hope you don’t mind my poking about a bit. Don’t wish to wake you, but wanted to peek in and see a little about you.

      Peek away 🙂 I know what you mean about the tornado in your brain. It’s great to have a place to put all that energy.

        So you can hear the whooshing sounds too?

        Having an outlet helps focus. Would it be rude of me to want to poke about a bit more?

    • Laura February 9, 2012 at 12:29 pm #

      The whooshing and the roar sometimes! Not to mention the crunching, crackling and tinkling. Poke around, but leave it the way you found it! 🙂

        I’ll use my super stealthy ninja skills. You’ll never know I was here….well, maybe except for some crumbs (btw it’s not nice to leave cake where I can find it).

        🙂

      • Cold Dead Heart February 9, 2012 at 1:43 pm #

        You obviously have no willpower..the cake was a test!

      • Wondering Wanderer February 9, 2012 at 2:27 pm #

        I have lots of willpower….just not always at the right time. Besides, I only ate the frosting.

      • Cold Dead Heart February 9, 2012 at 3:05 pm #

        It was cream cheese frosting too!

      • Wondering Wanderer February 9, 2012 at 3:17 pm #

        Which would explain why I know look more like a Chris Farley ninja than a Bruce Lee ninja.

        Also would explain the buzzing in my ears……mmmmmm….sugar rush!

      • Cold Dead Heart February 9, 2012 at 3:42 pm #

        Hey…a ninja is a ninja. Sugar rushes are almost as good as sunny swirls!

    Thank you for your interest in some of my photos. You seem like a very nice, sincere person without a cold dead heart in any respect. I hope you continue to enjoy our photographic medium for years to come. It is an amazing adventure of dicovery of the beauty that surrounds us all. Be at peacenow and thank you again for your time and kind comments. rek

    Your Arizona Chronicles captured my attention…recently moved away from there, but had lived in Az for close to 25 years. I wonder what I’ll find when I read further….

    Hope to see you around.

        You are very welcome. I’m glad you found me, too.

        I am happy to be able to say that I am “from” Arizona…I so much prefer living near the cool mountains of Utah. While the desert itself can be beautiful, I found it to be too warm for my soul. My wife shares your desire to move back, though…. I am looking forward to reading more of your story. 🙂

    A good day to you, from the other side of the world.

    Thanks for “following” me…it sounds creepy but there it is. Thanks, too, for liking my photos.

    I hope you won’t mind if I drop in every once in a while, and while I’m at it, I hope its all right to take a leisurely walk inside your “colddeadheart”….

    Cheers,
    Mary

      It’s supposed to be ironic because I am sometimes too tender hearted. And I have a habit when someone says “promise?” or saying “Cross my cold dead heart.” Seemed like a good name for a blog ..lol 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!

    Thanks for reading and responding to The Bone-Pickers. I don’t consider myself a poet, but that one had to be birthed. Not the best time of my life.

    Most of the other poetry is from the April National Poetry Month challenge.

    Working on a novel (aren’t we all?) and have been sidetracked by NPM, and a group of short stories a bit on the weird side. Trying now to tie Harvey Meeks’ Crawl Space and
    The Learning Curve together with one titled The Circadae, which I hope to complete this weekend.

    I will peruse your site in the very near future. Good Writing to you.

    One Lovely Blog Award

    I don’t really do viral self-replicating blog awards but it was nice to be nominated and it gave me the chance to give something back: your photos are great and the Arizona Chronicles (which get a special mention) are some of the best writing I’ve encountered this year.

    I handpicked the very best of the blogs I read. You deserve this, but please, please do not feel you have to accept it! However, if you do, you know what to do next.
