Mr. King, Mr. Obama, a word with you? – Revisited
(I just wanted to bring this to the top again, in view of last night’s State of the Union address, to elicit any comments. Do you have any?)
=====
(Edit 01/20/2009 @ 12:03 PM Eastern.)
It is DONE!
At this moment in history, noon Eastern US time on January 20, 2009, One Hundred and Forty years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation, a black man, a good man, is President of the United States of America!
A dream finally realized! A leader delivered to the helm or our redirection.
Thank you God and congratulations to us!
First – Thank you Mr. King!
… and all those who came before you, and since you, who made it possible for this man to appear now. Your work, your contribution was not in vain.
Second – Welcome Mr. Obama.
It may be that your presence means we’re done with our long troubled past, or maybe, we’re just at the begining of the end. However, I’ve lived long enough to be cynical of politics and politicians. I’ve heard the promises and seen the cosmetic beauty of your predecessors, most of them believable in their giddy zeal, but soon, the dark side of our humanness breaks the surface of my little pond.
However, you sir, you seem different, somehow … someway.
On a personal level, I like the way you look at your wife, the way you reach for her hand. When walking, the gentle placement of your palm to the small of her back.
I like the kindness I see in your eyes and your demeanor of respect and quiet power when speaking to others. When interviewed, allowing the last syllable of the last word in the last sentence to fall away to silence before you start your response.
In what little I’ve seen of
your daughters, the adoration in their eyes as you fill their frame.
Classy, kind, confident, are descriptors that come to my mind.
Powerful? Yes, I think so. There seems to be a resoluteness about you, and an expectation that whoever is in front of you will do the right thing. A steady gaze, a demeanor of confidence, the absence of distracting body language; all these things lead me to interpret your essence as honest, genuine, and “powerful.”
You have managed to ignite hope, belief, and trust, and returned to us the confidence that the future will be better and I, like the rest of our country and the world, am heady with hope and enthusiasm.
We are hungry for honorable, capable leadership to fill the vacuum of the last several years; hungry to carry our heads high again without having to apologize to our International brethren for the errors and clumsiness of our recent past.
Yes, you look like the real deal to me …the right person at the right time in the right place …
but all love affairs begin that way.
And, I’ve had my heart broken before.
So, though I know you’ll never read these, my little comments, I wanted to say them to you anyway … and make this request.
Please sir …
Please don’t let me down.
In the name of your wife … your daughters and … us … we need you to be the honest man that leads us from the darkness, we need Diogenes to be wrong, we need to believe in you, to be proud of you … please don’t disappoint us.
Make us proud again …
make us proud.
God bless you and keep you safe, sir.
"Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair
but manifestations of strength and resolution.” ~ Kahlil Gibran.

Wonderful, and very well said 🙂

What a great entry! I believe you said it all, what we are all thinking and hoping. Thank you.

Hear, hear!
Warning Comment
I hope for him. and I fear for him.
Warning Comment
Ditto!
Warning Comment
FABULOUS Entry. I think this is the beginning of an amazing 4 year run. 🙂
Warning Comment
Thank you for feeling this way too, Nunz. It’s exactly what I was referring to in my OD survey. I feel precisely the same way about him. About “this.” I’m afraid to hope, but I do. I am. God bless him and keep him safe. God guide him in truth, justice and the “do unto others” way. He’s DIFFERENT. He’s SOOO different. Dare to dream. I am.
Warning Comment
He does have a “calmness” about him doesn’t he? He has this way of making one feel safe…almost at peace. Reassuring. He’s a powerful man.
Warning Comment
I feel the same way. He’s the man for the job. May God send him special guardian angels for him and his family.
Warning Comment
i adore this entry. this is how i feel about him as well, but so much more well written than i could have ever came up with.
Warning Comment
That’s my new Commander in Chief! I’m psyched.
Warning Comment
And this I could not agree with you more. You have articulated ever single thing I have ever felt about this man. I hope I’m not disappointed in this presidents performance, I don’t want to regret voting for him.
Warning Comment
I fear for this man. Because he just seems so very special. I read his autobiography and was inspired by it. What a wonderful change he will bring. I just hope to god(ess) that he survives his time in power.
Warning Comment
Thank you for writing this. It says everything I would like to say too. And please God, please keep this man safe.
Warning Comment
ps. I wanted to nominate this for reader’s choice….but I was beaten by Prinipassa Pollyana. It seems we all agree. This is an amazing entry.
Warning Comment
How fitting is it that Obama will be inaugurated a day after MLK day, I am sure he is so proud of how far this country has come. It was not that long ago that a black person could not use the same facilities as a white person. When I was a child there were racial riots in the city I grew up in during the 60s. I remember them well. Makes me even prouder to be an American, hopefully soon there willbe a woman in the White House too!
Warning Comment
Excellently said. You have written much of what I’ve been thinking.
Warning Comment
Great entry. I feel the same way about him and hope he’s the real deal, too.

Wow, this is a phenomenal entry. I couldn’t agree more.

Beautifully said.
Warning Comment
Wow I couldn’t agree more. Great entry. 🙂
Warning Comment
I like this entry….I didn’t vote for the man….But i hope and pray that He stays safe and is the right man for the President of the United States of America…. I am bound to stay behind the man….because he is the President ….I want to like him and feel that the best man got the job. I just didn’t feel that way about either man this time … So here is HOPING the every best for thenext 4 years…. and praying he does leader us out of this problems we are having …. Huggs…

This is beautiful. I hope you’re right.

Don’t worry, he’s going to do a fine job.

I LOVE this entry! Thank you for it!

Perfectly said darlin – perfect!
Warning Comment
He looks like the right deal to many of us in other parts of the planet, too. Thank you for saying so eloquently what many of us worldwide feel.
Warning Comment
I hope with you .. I hope its real … I hope the world might have one decent person in power, somewhere … just one IS hope. Where I live, what you fear is still unthinkable. Your fear, where your is national, sits so uncomfortably. What a tragic world where that fear was reported as fast as the election results. Lovely entry. ***HUGS***
Warning Comment
The best entry from you, ever. Loevly and touching. Thank you.
Warning Comment
Is that what you’re calling it these days? LOL.
Warning Comment
Wow. Just wow. And Amen.
Warning Comment
Excellent entry sir.
Warning Comment
Well said!
Warning Comment
far beyond the colour of his skin, although that is also something to celebrate, but far beyond this there seems to me to be something very very important in what you said: a GOOD man is finally President.
Warning Comment
So well written. You captured all the feelings that I couldn’t quite express myself.
Warning Comment
Yay!!!! *waves mini American flag* I’m wearing red, white and blue today!!!!
Warning Comment
With his success comes our country’s success.
Warning Comment
God bless President Obama!!!
Warning Comment
“please don’t disappoint us” I think this might be his biggest challenge – the level of expectation on him must feel crushing.
Warning Comment
Very good! =;p
Warning Comment
I’m not even sure how I ended up on this page, but I’m very thankful I did. You did a wonderful job with this entry and you were able to put into words what so many of us are feeling. Thank you.

I hate to bore daddy but from the waist down I am not patriotic — black skirt and boots. But the top half is all decked out in double layer tank tops in red and blue and red necklace and blue earrings and a white blazer. And I smell WONDERFUL.

Yee Hah!!! 😉

Awesome entry! Thank you for so eloquently expressing my feelings that I have such difficulty putting into words.

Beautiful, heartfelt words.

Once only a dream; now a reality. What a very beautiful day this has been.

ahh.. i am teary.. it means SO .. MUCH that this man, this seemingly good man is president.. i.. am.. so excited.. 🙂 *wink*
Warning Comment
Wow. Just…wow. Thank you.
Warning Comment
hello. this is a great entry. thanks for keeping the hope up!! i am excited about our new president as well
Warning Comment
Yes, I think this is how a lot of people see your new president – there is an air of goodness and capability about him. I was asking a friend’s six year old about Obama yesterday – had he heard what was special about the USA yesterday? His reply? ‘Yes, America has got a president with brown skin like me, and he’s going to save the world’ xx
Warning Comment
This gave me chills. Thank you.
Warning Comment
Excellent!

I have no words- because you said it all!

You are so lucky that made me smile. LOL.

I love this! Thank you! And thank you for the Youtube link. 🙂

I like his quiet, yet assertive personality.

ryn: damn, too late!!! i just got back.
Warning Comment
RYN – Thank you… she was well-loved by him, I don’t one gets two of those men in a lifetime. This is a wonderful entry…. amen… amen.. .amen!
Warning Comment
Thank You for this – it’s beautifully written, and if I may be so bold, says what is in my heart, as well. Bravo!
Warning Comment
To: Mr. G.F. Your diary, a diary where no responses are allowed, is the cause your note here was made private. (To read is all I ask. Therefore, no notes are welcomed here.) Out of almost 10,000 notes, yours is the ONLY one Ive ever privatized. A stage where ideas are presented without allowing responses is a bit too authoritarian for my taste. Talk about propaganda! What is itabout responses that you fear a debate, God forbid?
Warning Comment
And besides which…he ought not to be such a f*cking coward that he “won’t” say that to me if he feels that way! Why do I always have to be the GD brave one!? That’s all I’m sayin’ about your theory. Big effing rip if he’s too afraid to make himself vulnerable by saying it. He needs to BUCK THE F*CK UP.
Warning Comment
Yeah, one note didn’t take. I said that I hadn’t considered that he was afraid to say it due to his fear of vulnerability (which I find just stupid) and I said that I’d think on that. That never even occurred to me! So I appreciate your pointing that out to me. Seems odd to me though, if that’s his reason for not saying it. 17 years and he’s still afraid of that with me? DUMB DUMB DUMB.
Warning Comment
Stupid effing coward of a little boy… afraid of ME, who loves him more than anyone but his own mother! Boys are dumb, Nunz. If any men read this note, BE BRAVE! TELL HER HOW YOU REALLY FEEL!!! GOOD LORD, MAN — WHERE ARE YOUR TESTICLES?!!!!
Warning Comment
Re your other note: plop it up here!!
Warning Comment
amen. i couldn’t have said it any better myself!
Warning Comment
Ryn: Yep, scallywags. Drunk, nasty scallywags they are.
Warning Comment
Ryn: If I’d come over last night, you’d have listened to my bitchy mouth for three minutes before sending me off in a cab.
Warning Comment
Well. That too.
Warning Comment
Amen. Just…AMEN.
Warning Comment
Did you read about how funny President Obama was at the Washington dinner recently? I love that he’s got a sense of humor and can laugh at himself. Love that about him. RYN: thank you! And you forgot to mention how cute I am and how much you enjoy looking at me being silly in the driveway. Come on!
Warning Comment
Thank you for making that part of the note private. *rolls eyes* Great note! We’ll see what it generates…. *rubs hands together*
Warning Comment
ryn: LOL!!! that’s what I’M sayin’..!!!
Warning Comment
That’s what the entry is about! That I have learned NOT to let it hurt me. That I have chosen NOT to feel the pain. Exactly! And no, I won’t “kill you” for that. If you don’t gimme some of that M O N E Y, I may do you some damage though. HA HA HA HA! I marked you in a public note. *slaps knee*
Warning Comment
ryn: grrrr!!! YEAH!!! *laughs* Yeah, how bout we work on my “daddy issues” *laughs* that link was HOT! why did you send it? Seemed random *laughs*
Warning Comment
This brought tears to my eyes. It’s all true. Millions of us see hope for ourselves in this man. That’s a big challenge for anyone. ryn: The disgusting/odd questions I’m posing in my entries is from a “game” I found. It prompted hours and hours of fun.Kids and adults alike!
Warning Comment
Added you to my Favs. Thanks for the visit, Nunzio. On CNN yesterday, John McCain said a few words about the trade deficit. That’s the only time I’ve heard the problem mentioned, and to me, that’s the main reason we’re in this economic mess. It has to be solved or most of those stimulus billions will wind up in Japan & China, leaving us with the jobless problem again and an even more enormous debt. It’s like another kind of cold war and we’re losing it…Willy,of

You need to write, mofo! That’s how this diary collective works! Don’t worry, if I get miss stripes I’ll find a way to get pictures.

How many times do you need to hear about it? Doesn’t it get boring? Same old thing, every time. LOL.

ryn: Thank you for the flicker recommend. I used to use Snapfish, but it no longer works. Will try flicker. 🙂
Warning Comment
ryn: most definitely. i think you’re right. i’d rather suffer heartbreak than deal with true commitment, which is much more terrifying…
Warning Comment
ryn: it IS, isn’t it? i can’t commit. i just can’t.
Warning Comment
RYN: LOL sounds perfect!

This is a beautiful entry. I really really think so. You are awesome in so many ways. HUGS

Bravo… RYN, RMN on RRH – lol! Nah, I don’t see you as 100% dog, but sometimes you do surprise me.. well.. I take that back. You surprise me all the time, in many ways.
Warning Comment
ROTFL!!!!!!!! oh my god.. my cheeks hurt so bad.. I had to stop at one point.. because i couldn’t make sense of the words anymore.. oh my god.. tears.. tears.. are in my eyes.. ready to stream it was so funny… phew.. my god.. that reply couldn’t have been more perfect. wow.. i don’t even know what to say.. how unbelievably clever of you! *laughs* All my readers.. will thoroughly enjoy that tomorrow.. Nunzio.. you .. rock.
Warning Comment
I love that second to last photo – a wonderful tribute to a man who truly has the weight of the world on his shoulders. here’s to hoping.
Warning Comment
ryn: Yes, I am there with you on that. Only thing is there is ONE detective that handles auto theft, and he remembers me from my first call. They also have my call, plate info and such in the system. Here, you must sign an affidavit with the report…not going there. I attempted to call my daughter in missing this morning. Crossing my fingers on that one. Hopefully, I will get a contact from my local precinct who will be sympathetic. Don’t want to have to call in favors on this, but will if necessary. For now, I gots to go borrow me a lamborghini! Thanks for the help!
Warning Comment
p.s. If the missing person thing doesn’t work, I will be calling the DMV. Thanks again! 😉
Warning Comment
RYN: Absolutely right. I wouldn’t change what I have now for any of that other shit. That entry is just a brief moment in time, and a small piece of the puzzle. But why can’t I JUST HAVE IT ALL?!
Warning Comment
You are SUCH a filthy disgusting and depraved pig! I love you man.
Warning Comment
Very well said. Everyone has high hopes for him as President, but I think the Congress will most likely do the same old routines… It remains to be seen how good the policies are that he and they enact….
Warning Comment
ryn: you posted an entry about having a sitemeter one time. i read lotsa entries and spend lotsa time in OD. i didn’t want your sitemeter tracking my obsession of the week if he was you. i could care less now though. sorry for the paranoia.
Warning Comment
You are a dog. I’ve made mistakes before, and, what… I can make them again? LOL. *pencils you in after work*
Warning Comment
ryn: LOL!!!! all i need to be is better than the wives. and i AM.
Warning Comment
RYN: And this is why I love you.
Warning Comment
ryn: i tend to shy away from sitemeters, not just yours personally. also, i never blocked you. i just removed you from my favorites. and since most of my entries are favorites only… i only recently realized that my entire diary was favorites only. i’ve changed that.
Warning Comment
ryn: i tend to shy away from visible sitemeters. the invisible ones don’t bother me. weird, huh?
Warning Comment
ryn: LOL! You make me laugh with how much you get into the Mr. H character. 🙂
Warning Comment
ryn: 40 bucks?!?! you sell me short.
Warning Comment
ryn: Yes…car was impounded on Tuesday., I found out on Wed. night, went on Thursday to Code Enforcement office, and picked up car on Friday. At least it is in one piece and no accidents, daughter safe (for now). Thank you again for your help. 🙂
Warning Comment
Ryn: Really well. I love it. : )
Warning Comment
You can only have both if you promise to do filthy things with the donut holes.
Warning Comment
RYN – right, but she meant what I said; because the whole point was her saying that IF YOU POSE Like that it makes your ass look better. So she was saying that “my ass is not that voluptuous; but posing this way makes it look like it is.” She just didn’t put that last part in there.
Warning Comment
And I just read this entry, and it’s really good. I love the pictures of him and Michelle. I love that they seem to really love and desire each other sexually. Look at that picture where he’s behind her whispering into her ear. That’s hot to me because I see desire on his face, and pure enjoyment on hers. I don’t know if I’ve ever noticed that with a presidential couple before. I hope they can keep on being that way.
Warning Comment
Thank you, Nunzio.
Warning Comment
ryn: you’re too much. but since you put such effort into the proposition, i’ll give it some thought.
Warning Comment
Hi Nunzio, this is a beautiful entry. I especially love the next to last photo – there is a lot of love there. RYN: Your note is so amazing, not harsh at all. I have already read it 4x and will continue to. I do not need criticism right now, I need constructive commentary and your is definitely that. I feel like the bad one, the wrong one, and he and his daughter are the right ones, so for you to
Warning Comment
…point out what you did, was an immense help to my esteem and emotion. I welcome those words, thank you.
Warning Comment
RYN: I re-pasted them and made them public. This is EXACTLY the reason I wrote the entry that I did today. I know there are others like me, out there, and I want to help them as well. Thanks for setting me straight. Also, please continue to let your observations and comments come my way. thank you, Nunzio. BTW, is that you on your profile pic?
Warning Comment
Ryn: It always comes down to “my stuff” don’t it? : )
Warning Comment
RYN: ha ha ha! you kill me! that was really funny, silly man.
Warning Comment
ryn: no i didn’t. i just made all those entries private.
Warning Comment
You never write anymore. That makes me sad. The world does not need a sad OA.
Warning Comment
ryn: I know what I must do. But the car…it’s so pretty!!! Not as pretty as the Benz, but it’s so pretty!!! LOL I will keep buying houses. Thank you for your sound words. You sure got that sharp business acumen going on! 🙂
Warning Comment
ryn: I can only hope that he does, too..!!! -lewd grin-

Ryn: NO. He lives here, where I do, and have many friends in common. We know who one another are and when I see him, I’m telling him about it!

Am too fat. LOL.

Awesome. I dont know how I missed this entry.

I’ve just been reading your notes on April’s diary and you are a dirty whore. Harrumph!!!

Impressed with him, and you.
Warning Comment
RYN: I was going to reply to the thankyou note you left, and instead of hitting the reply button, I hit delete next to it. I’m so sorry. I accidentally did this to another diarist as well. I do appreciate your kind words and I’m sorry for any confusion that I caused.
Warning Comment
A “black man”, you say. Did Dr. King not deplore the judgement of a person on the color of their skin? Obama may well be a “good man”, but more than that is required. I have searched in vain these many days for an action of his that I can say is up to the task.
Warning Comment
^ ^ RYN: I am not sure I understand the tone of your note If you are challenging me because I mention the color of our presidents skin; I fear you missed the context in which I mention it. I was making a statement of relief that finally, at last, after One Hundred and Forty years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation, a black man, a good man, is President of the United States of America!. It was a statement of pride that finally, in his election to the lands highest office, we have met our countrys promise of equality. As far as you searching in vain, for an action of his that I can say is up to the task, I do not hold ANY hope that I would be successful in pointing out to you the improvement of this President over the last, if you cannot readily see it on your own. I do thank you for your thoughts.
Warning Comment
ryn And what might those improvements be?
Warning Comment
ryn: sure. *shrugs* not like i listen anyway. :0P
Warning Comment
Exactly. I KNOW all of this — it’s the very reason I am in counseling now — to LEARN to negotiate with him.
Warning Comment
I wondered if anyone would notice how odd that seems. Yet no, he finished brushing his teeth just fine and shooed me away. Maybe I suck at it. No pun intended.
Warning Comment
ryn: Good lord, I’m a man trapped in a woman’s body! 😉 Seriously, though, I think you’re right about me getting caught up in the mystery of the unknown. I recognize this and see it as yet another a BIG cue for me to slow down (as you’ve suggested before). Thank you for your frankness, as always. 🙂 xo,
Warning Comment
LOL. Could be. But I’m tired of discussing my faults today. Can’t handle any more Red bashing today. LOL. I treated myself to my favorite taco pizza for lunch. The f*cking BASTARDS forgot the crumbled up doritos on top!!!! *grumble*

Thank you so much for your words. Very, very nice of you to say. I shall add you too.

Warning Comment
ryn: yes, you’re so spoiled. but i’m not spending a hundred bucks on a weasel either. so you’ll have to ogle my choices.

please leave the sarcasm at the door. you won’t get ridiculous responses if you don’t repeatedly make ridiculous requests.

Damnit! You know all the tricks to keep me panting! Dawg!!! I’m feeling a little humble and a little proud and a lot scared. Be kind to me, Daddy.
Warning Comment
RYN: I am QUITE unsure what any of those things have to do with the apocalypse (and my nipples are sadly, unpierced) but I DO think you may have something with the Angelina dress/flowing diaphanous idea. A totally different take than anything else I’ve thought of, but I LIKE. Hmmm. And PS, thank you. If I were a blusher, I’d be blushing right now.
Warning Comment
Thank you! And last night when I got home and she’d found — SOMEWHERE BURIED IN A DRAWER — a blue ceramic trivet and placed it in my EARTH TONES kitchen, I grimaced ONLY to myself and let it stand. It’s just a trivet and it made her feel good, taking it from the drawer and putting it on my counter. *sigh* Blue… grumble grumble

(2) see above why i won’t be expressing any emotion close to love. :0/ (3) when HE expresses emotion toward me, i’ll consider expressing emotion (again) with him. two way street, baby. he holds back, well then, so the hell do i. :0P

ryn: no it isn’t! i don’t believe you!!! Red said she didn’t even know what you looked like! or at least.. i thought she did..
Warning Comment
Don’t think I haven’t thought of it, but the email filters are so goddman strict, I’d have to edit it down to gosh darns and love tunnels. Not worth it.
Warning Comment
You believe that I had my mind made up about him before he was elected? That is absolute garbage. I was just as hopeful as the rest of America. I put so goddamn much hope in Obama it would stagger you. He has had my support and prayers from the beginning — he still does! You’re wrong if you think I had my mind made up about him before the election. You’re wrong, Nunzio.
Warning Comment
Well I don’t necessarily disagree with the other part. My comment was about the cowardice of noters. The thing that irked me was their suggesting that I had already made up my mind before he was voted in. Stupid f*cking idiot, whoever it was. What’s really scary, Nunzio, is that that person BELIEVES they are correct, and I know that I am correct, so where does that leave us? All in the soup together. But holy Hell..someone suggests I’d made up my mind before he was elected? F*ck them.
Warning Comment
If I played my little coy game with you in such a situation, would you let me off the hook without so much as a good night? LOL
Warning Comment
God no. No pics! My little bunny is shivering and hiding right now, refusing to come out and play AT ALL after such an egregious assault!

Any woman who can wax balls for a living has some balls of steel herself. I cannot FATHOM how painful it is to have one’s balls waxed. I mean… Dear Mother of Christ.

That I am not kicking my own ass over it, IS PHENOMENAL. And telling. Very telling. Thanks, Nunz.

RYN: The little containers are peat discs. I bought them from the same place I got the seeds. They come in the mail dry and flat, like big silver dollars, but when you add water they fluff up. You place a couple of seeds on the top and cover them gently then in a few days you have little seedlings. When they get big enough to have leaves you transfer them to potting soil. I also bought a little plastic housing that works as a greenhouse. The whole thing was around $30, well worth it considering the variety of herbs it came with. I only planted 5 to start with: Chives, Basil, Oregano, Parsley and Thyme. And yes, the rocks do tumble 24/7 for a month. Once a week you stop them, rinse everything off and add a different grit. Just like with any polishing, each grit level makes them more shiny than the last. We’re trying to find out how to drill holes in them properly to turn a few of the better ones into jewelry pieces. I envision a nice chunky bangle when I see those red ones. It’s been fun so far. 🙂 And thanks for dropping in. You’ve been missed!

You’re hooked on my vajayjay and you know it, Horndog.

Well I’d very much like for Husband to have had WET HANDS when he’s done having sex with me, in the least!
Warning Comment
Silly man!!!
Warning Comment
Thank you for the chuckle!!! Like Herpes wouldn’t keep you at bay. Give me a frickin’ break.
Warning Comment
That was just mean.
Warning Comment
Yeah right. Your point was well taken though. That either means I am just being passive aggressive to him by continuing to try to get him to feel empathy, or I foster some hope that he MAY learn empathy. I’m not sure which it is. I’m not sure at all. Until I learn, or he insists I stop doing it, I expect I’ll keep doing it. Hard being green, you know? Or Red.
Warning Comment
hey big daddy – MISS YOU!!!! ~hugs~
Warning Comment
thank you.
Warning Comment
You better believe it, Buster! What are you gonna do with me when I’m REALLY healthy???!!!
Warning Comment
By way of assurance to you, though it’s self-deprecating to me, I will never be healthy enough for you to want to discard me. I’ll see to it! LOL.
Warning Comment
ryn: lol… Hey, I’m the first to admit I was in a cranky mood and yes, a whole lotta judgemental before that first date. 🙂 Oh God. I AM toast, aren’t I? F*ck! I knew I should have cancelled that first date. Too late now. Arghhhhhhhhhhh…

*LOL* I still don’t do the dispatch. I just help part them out. But, yeah… some fear would be good. *wink*

And yes….yes, I do. 😉

Happy Birthday, Mr. Funzio. No, that’s not Fonzio…you are an unzio unto yourself. And definitely a fun one. 😉
Warning Comment
Huh? It’s not my birthday. Oh, I get it, it’s YOUR birthday. 🙂
Warning Comment
OH MY WORD. LMAO. I wasn’t drunk texting, I promise. I was sleep texting. (I suppose they are pretty close though.) Can’t believe I did that, Mr. Funzio. Is this one of those things that I will look back on and laugh about someday? Happy THANKSGIVING!!! And when it IS your birthday, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 😉
Warning Comment
Oy. So I was sleep NOTING on the diary, and sleep TEXTING my kids and friends last night. I need a nap. Be good.

RYN: OMG, ask and you shall receive, dude!

RYN: Of course! All for YOU.

ryn: you’re really adorable. I know I exasperate you (not half as much as I exasperate myself), but I do love that story. It always makes me smile. Here’s my question: Why did Roger just let Elaine go so easily? What kind of man is that?

He is different. He won’t do all the things we dream of, but I do feel I can trust him to always act with integrity and the good of our nation in mind.
Warning Comment
I didn’t see the speech and I am feeling sad that the Republicans will not let Mr Obama do his job once again!!! Partisan politics sucks!
Warning Comment
*sigh* You’re such a fucking tease. I thought you wrote something new. BOO .. and a HISS to you, sir. With gobs of naughtiness of course. *grins*
Warning Comment
It is at the very least disturbing that so much has been made of the election of a “person of color” to the Presidency. Would that it had also have been a person of quality. My greatest fear is that, after this, all men and women who may be viewed as “negroe” will be shunned as candidates for that high office. The left-leaning General Colin Powell would have been infinitely preferable. Condoleezza Rice could more easily have filled the bill as Commander-in-Chief. I, myself, have written in the name of Alan Keyes for that high honor. It is not about race. It is about foolishness.
Warning Comment
regardless of how/what he chooses to do, his underlying integrity comes through. he will not do the ‘right’ thing for everyone; hell, there are people who will grouse about winning the lottery……but it’s his integrity that will come through…….and God knows, we need that now
Warning Comment
I continue to think President Obama is “the real deal”. I continue to think he is capable of bringing about a change in the direction of this great nation of ours. Like a great ship on the water, the direction change cannot be instant. I would think his eyes have been opened as to how the government machinery works (or doesn’t work), and how resistant it can be to change. I still believe…
Warning Comment
… and will continue to live my life in a way that I personally feel is loving and kind. I really liked this entry when you wrote it, and it still brings about that feeling of shared hope and connection. It’s still there. Some people are just very vocal in their lack of faith.
Warning Comment
Damn!! Are you the original note whore, or what!?
Warning Comment
So how are you feeling about him now? Has he disappointed you at all? Made you proud?

Wonderful entry about wonderful man!
Warning Comment
Gave me chills!
Warning Comment
I liked President Obama then, and I like him now. I thought the State of the Union last night was wonderful. I think President Obama has a tough road to travel and he will not be able to please everyone, but then, no president could ever please everybody. I still feel his is a man of honor and integrity and finally, someone believable is in the White House.
Warning Comment
I think he is great.
Warning Comment
THERE you are! ~hugs~
Warning Comment
I don’t agree with obama, and I wouldn’t say he is good. To me he seems very selfish.
Warning Comment
Welcome back, and again, great piece 🙂

Re your second note: Um… this is about ME. Why do you always make everything about YOU? ROFL. *wipes tears*
Warning Comment
RYN: Now, why did I know you’d take that as an invitation for sex? Perhaps because you take a woman breathing as an invitation to sex? LOL!

RYN: ^ You misread my intent. I don’t want sex, I want the FOREPLAY! 😉

Thank you for your very positive and supportive note. It IS kind of fascinating when we really start acting out of intention rather than sleepwalking, isn’t it? Didn’t I note you way back when, and I was one of the few who supported our fearless leader DM? You don’t post many public entries, so hope life is treating you well, OD neighbor! 🙂
Warning Comment
hmmm. It is coming back to me that I couldn’t figure you out. I remember being intrigued by your interests on your profile, and just not being able to get a “feel” for you. You are a good writer, and I recall a very compassionate note from you at a time when I was really down. God bless you, too, Nunzio.
Warning Comment
ryn: yep, a little teasing is just fine. g’night, OD neighbor…
Warning Comment
RYN: It looks to be true … Thanks Nunzio.
Warning Comment
thanks for your notes. and i do realize that everything is colored through our own experiences. to be accurate, i am not offended by all erotic writing. i have had stories written to me, for me, and some writers here on OD have written their own pieces that are exciting and very graphic, but do not leave me with negative feelings, just hot and wanting. 🙂 guess we all have our preferences.
Warning Comment
look forward to reading your thoughts in your next entry…
Warning Comment
thanks for your note. it was a brief allowance of old panic and reactions, then a decision to CHOOSE, not react. interesting about the odd timing of both letters, out of the blue, there at the same time. hmmm. good morning, you over there to the west… 🙂
Warning Comment
Funny you should mention that book. B had it when we were together; his wife had gotten it because their marriage was so difficult. He said it did not work with them. Lo and behold, it did not work with us either. I believe the principles of the book wholeheartedly, but both people must be ready (and more importantly emotionally able) to make changes in themselves.
Warning Comment
Also, thanks for the reminder to let go of the false belief that I have to be “good enough” or people will leave me. Silly way that a child sees it. That sentence was in my illusions section–I think it is my biggest challenge to overcome. Being someone FOR people, which means up till now I don’t even have the ability to see the real me… Ah, mid life awakenings. Laughing. Awesome.
Warning Comment
ryn: doh!
Warning Comment
ryn: words are sometimes just so unwieldy. yes, i had read that entry not too long ago. just one of the many things that make you an enigma. i know it was my reaction. do you think it was ok for you to hear about how, given my experiences, i felt about your words? i take ownership of my reaction. like i said, was an opportunity to recognize and release. thanks for that. g’night now, you.
Warning Comment
I’m curious as to how you feel about Mr. Obama now. I wonder what your performance evaluation would say.
Warning Comment
Shouldn’t it be “whoyadoinlata”? 🙂

when oh when will mr nunzio write new words here? (and not that blathering on about spicy mexican food that he is prone to do…)
Warning Comment
ryn: just sent off an email with the signed contract; yes, #3. and yes, you are exactly right about the commission. i came to my senses about that, and thankfully before i let any whiny accusatory words out to my agent. i was just being fearful of “my stuff” being “taken from me” “unfairly”. giggling and laughing… i DO like the way you think (MOST of the time) wait, i better take that back.
Warning Comment
i can’t read your mind, so i have no idea what you think. i should amend that to say, i usually agree with the words you say. goofy guy from california… 😉
Warning Comment
what the heck? look at all my notes to you… did you used to write regularly here, and why not anymore? who ARE you? geesh. do you try to live true, all the way? i think it is hard to be all the way truthful to self. once that gets to be habitual, the rest starts falling into place. eh?
