A poem I wrote 4/15/1980 when I found that my PCAT score was too low for Pharmacy school admission

Hi all,

I was cleaning out some files and came across this poem I wrote on April 15, 1980. I just received my PCAT score from the Pharmacy College Admission Board and realized that my score was too low for me to get in Purdue's Pharmacy program. Funny the things that we hang on to...

Take care,

AKA{=}

How deep is my agony
How intense is my pain
My world crumbled before me
But who was I to blame

Sadness came over me
So fast I know not what to do
When I realized my answer,
I feared my life was through

I wanted to live, express my feelings
But my fate seemed darker than the blackest sea
Could life go on despite my sorrow
Or would all give out from under me

Only time will tell if I am doomed
To a life of misery
For now I except all that may pass
For my tomorrow may never be

UPDATE 12/31/2008: Well, the verdict is in. Response 2 - Bad Idea is the winner. I received a telephone call from him today telling me he's going to marriage her. Sheesh...lol

Thanks for the input!


Hi all...Happy Thursday

I posted a poll a while back about long distance relationships and I've drawn some conclusions...lol.
Here were the choices and now updated with my results.

Response 1:Good Idea - Distance makes the heart grow fonder!

This applied to yours truly, AKA. When I fall for someone, I fall hard.

Response 2:Bad Idea: It's too easy to get jealous and lonely when you're far from the one you love.

This applied to him, AggieB85. He's lonely so he's looking. I haven't done anything to give him the opportunity to be jealous - Not my style, but maybe it should have been...lol. He had the audacity to tell me about running into some he dated in high school. I'm the one who's jealous...lol.

Response 3: If it's a temporary situation, I think it is manageable, but what's the point if no one is going to make a move?

I would consider the move, but I need to find suitable employment. I have been looking but a long distance job search isn't the easiest thing in the world to do...lol.

Response 4: Other - Please share

Writing is very therapeutic for me. I will admit I am hurting. Will the pain go away? "Time heals all." (I hope it's true).

Thanks for listening...I feel better already

The Origin of Mother's Day in the U.S.
Posted:May 11, 2008 8:04 pm
Last Updated:May 13, 2008 3:24 pm
3973 Views

Mother's Day is celebrated in the U.S. on the second Sunday in May. Mother's Day was loosely inspired by the British day of the same name. It was brought to the U.S. by social activist Julia Ward Howe after the American Civil War. It's purpose was to be a call to unite women against war. In 1870, Howe wrote the Mother's Day Proclamation as a call for peace and disarmament. Howe was unsuccessful in her effort to get formal recognition of a Mother's Day for Peace.

Ward's idea was influenced by Ann Jarvis, a young Appalachian homemaker who, starting in 1858, had attempted to improve sanitation through what she called Mothers' Work Days. She organized women throughout the Civil War to work for better sanitary conditions for both sides, and in 1868 she began work to reconcile Union and Confederate neighbors.

Jarvis died in 1905. Her , named Anna Jarvis, then began the crusade to found a memorial day for women. In 1907, Anna Jarvis passed out 500 white carnations to the female members at her mother’s church, St. Andrew’s Methodist Episcopal Church in Grafton, West Virginia. The first Mother's Day service was celebrated on 10 May 1908, in the same church, where the elder Ann Jarvis had taught Sunday School. Anna selected Sunday because she wanted the day to be commemorated and treated as a Holy Day.

The custom caught on spreading eventually to 46 states. The holiday was declared officially beginning with West Virginia in 1912. Then in 1914, President Woodrow Wilson declared the first national Mother's Day, as a day for American citizens to show the flag in honor of those mothers whose sons had died in war.

Nine years after the first official Mother's Day, commercialization of the U.S. holiday became so rampant that Anna Jarvis became a major opponent of what the holiday had become. Mother's Day continues to this day to be one of the most commercially successful U.S. occasions.

Americans spend approximately $2.6 billion on flowers, $1.53 billion on gifts such as spa treatments and another $68 million on greeting cards. Mother's Day will generate about 7.8% of the US jewelry industry's annual revenue in 2008. Americans are expected to spend close to $3.51 billion in 2008 on dining out for Mother's Day, with brunch and dinner being the most popular dining out options.

Thing don't always turn out like you planned!

Bonding With The Wrong Person...
Posted:Apr 26, 2008 3:39 pm
Last Updated:May 3, 2008 8:12 am

If you bond with the wrong person you give away a special part of yourself which is hard to retrieve.

If you compare your heart to a rose, it is like losing a petal every time you bond with the wrong person. If you give your heart away often enough your heart will no longer resemble a rose in full bloom but a stem bearing nothing but a few thorns.


Well, I don't give my heart very often (though I do play with passion and intensity). However, when I do give away my heart, it's more than just a petal. Right now I'm feeling not so full and beautiful as a Rose should...Hopefully, in time I shall bloom again and put on a spectacular show

Take care,

Long Distance Relationships: Good or Bad Idea?

This blog is an extension of my poll...I am looking for feedback on long distance relationships. What I want to know is, do you think it's a good idea or a bad idea to have a long distance relationship? Why or why not? What have been your experience? What advice do you have for me?

So far the feedback that I've received from friends is that it is crucial to be as open and honest as possible in order to make it work since there is so much room for misunderstandings and jealousy.

All I can think about doing is taking one day at a time and make the best of it.

Any words of wisdom are appreciate

Take care,

Fun Easter Facts
Posted:Mar 6, 2008 8:30 pm
Last Updated:May 26, 2024 11:8 pm

Easter this year is on Sunday March 23 2008

Being a moon freak this is something that I didn't know - Easter is always the 1st Sunday after the 1st full moon after the Spring Equinox (which is March 20). (I learned something new today, so the day wasn't a total waste ) The dating of Easter is based on the lunar calendar that Hebrew people used to identify Passover which is why it moves around on our Roman calendar.

Based on the above information, Easter can actually be one day earlier (March 22) but that is pretty rare. This year is the earliest Easter any of us will ever see the rest of our lives. And only the most elderly of our population have ever seen it this early (95 years old or above!). And none of us have ever or will ever see it a day earlier!

Here are the facts:

The next time Easter will be this early (March 23) will be the year 2228 (220 years from now). The last time it was this early was 1913 (so if you're 95 or older you are the only ones that were around for that!). The next time it will be a day earlier March 22 will be in the year 2285 (277 years from now). The last time it was on March 22 was 1818. So no one alive today has or will ever see it any earlier than this year!

Hmmm...all this talk of Easter makes me want to go "fuck like bunnies"...lol.

Happy Easter!

Happy Valentine

So you gave your sweetie a bouquet of flowers on Valentine's Day - that was a nice gesture. I didn't get my age in roses this year...I let jim4677 get away. Oh well, we live and we learn. Good things come (cum) to those who wait!

Hopefully you thought twice, though, before choosing just any random bunch of blooms. If your special someone was among the thousands of searchers hitting the Web for "meaning of flowers," he or she may have a funny reaction to that bonquet of striped carnations. (What you just said: "Sorry I can't be with you.")

To save you the future horror of broadcasting the wrong message with yellow chrysanthemums ("slighted love"), yellow hyacinths ("jealousy"), or bright and shiny marigolds ("cruelty, grief, and jealousy"), below is listed the most searched-on flowers with their generally accepted meanings.

1. Roses - Love
2. Orchids - A belle
3. Iris - My compliments
4. Daisies - Innocence
5. Tulips - Declaration of love
6. Calla Lily - Beauty
7. Amaryllis - Splendid beauty
8. Hydrangea - Heartfelt
9. Anthurium - Hospitality
10. Daffodils - Chivalry
11. Chrysanthemums - Fidelity
12. Carnations - Pride and beauty
13. Lilacs - Youthful innocence
14. Birds of Paradise - Joyfulness
15. Tiger Lily - Wealth, pride
16. Peony - Bashful
17. Anemone - Anticipation
18. Sunflowers - Pure thoughts
19. Aster - Patience
20. Gladiolus - Strength of character

When it comes to sheer flower power, the rose is the "American Idol," all rolled into one sweet-smelling, thorny cache. No flower comes close to its popularity. It draws its own "meaning" searches ("rose color meaning"), cooks up its own candy queries ("chocolate roses"),and sprinkles the Search box with its velvety parts ("rose petals").

Here are the most popular colors of roses and their secret meanings...

1. Red Roses - Love and romance
2. Black Roses - Vengeance
3. Blue Roses - Mystery and intrigue
4. Pink Roses - Gratitude and appreciation
5. Purple Roses - Love at first sight
6. White Roses - Innocence and purity
7. Green Roses - Fertility
8. Yellow Roses - Joy and friendship
9. Lavender Roses - Enchantment
10. Orange Roses - Enthusiasm, passion

Now you know, so don't screw it up

AKA on being a Giver
Posted:Jan 27, 2008 7:37 pm
Last Updated:Feb 16, 2008 9:07 am
3876 Views

“It is the giver, and not the gift, that engages the heart.”

I have been doing a lot of “soul searching” trying to find the answers to some very important questions for the last couple of months. Now remember I’m an Aquarius and our quests are usually for the “Holy Grail,” so we tend to do a lot of searching … lol.

What I have come to realize is that I am a “giver.” Some of the research that I came across suggests that everyone is a natural-born giver. Some of us choose not to use this gift. One way or another, we help someone in some way throughout our lives. It is not so important, the quantity (how many times we give), but more so the quality and timeliness of help.

I came across a list of eight levels of giving (and this may look VERY familiar to some of you), correlating to the degree to which the giver is sensitive to the needs and feelings of the recipient.

Level Eight: Giving grudgingly, with a sour countenance.Giving grudgingly is certainly better than not giving at all, but it is the lowest of all forms of charity. This form of giving is ironically selfish -- it is motivated by guilt, not true caring.

Level Seven: Giving less than you can afford, but doing so pleasantly.The benefit of a friendly response is so powerful that it even offsets the sting of an underwhelming . Even if you don't feel ready to commit yourself to meeting someone else's needs to the full extent of your capacity, you can express genuine interest and empathy. A sincere expression of caring can satisfy the person emotionally and give him the strength to go on, even if you weren't able or willing to grant his request completely.

Level Six: Giving generously, but only after being asked. While it's certainly preferable to be proactive, at the very least, don't give a cold shoulder to those who approach you for help. You can never know just how laborious and awkward it was for them to ask you for a favor, and how desperately they are counting on you to respond graciously.

Our society tends to encourage us to say "no" to the demands and requests of others. We are made to feel like fools or wimps if we allow people to appeal to our soft nature. This is not saying that we should let others walk all over us. However, if we are honest with ourselves we can always find a way to fill the other person's need, or refer them to someone else who can.

Level Five: Giving before you are asked.
Learn to anticipate the needs of others even before they approach you. Don't wait for the self-destructive behavior or the cry for help before stepping in to lend a hand. Don't limit your involvement to those who appeal to you; seek out opportunities where you can make a difference.

Level Four: The recipient knows the giver, but the giver does not know the recipient. In levels five through eight, the recipient and the giver are both known to each other. So even when the giving is done with utmost sensitivity and happiness to help, theirs is a relationship of superiority: the giver's ego is gratified, and the recipient feels shame and inferiority because of his dependency. At this level, the giving is done in such a way that the recipient is aware of the identity of his benefactor, but remains anonymous to him. In this case, the donor feels more humble, since he is not aware of to whom he is giving. However, the recipient's feelings are not spared to the same extent, since he knows who gave him the charity.

Level Three: The giver knows the recipient, but the recipient does not know the giver. At this level, the donor's ego has some room to express itself. Since the giver knows who is receiving his bounty, there is room for some sense of one-upmanship or dominance over the receiver. However, the beneficiary is unaware of who the donor is, and so his dignity is preserved.
(The fact that Level Three is higher than Level Four is proof of the Chassidic adage that we should take into account the other's benefit before considering the possible disadvantages to ourselves -- in spiritual matters as well as material. While it is certainly important to avoid ego and arrogance wherever possible, it is more important to salvage the dignity of someone else.)

Level Two: Giving anonymously, where the recipient does not know the giver and vice versa. Receiving mutually anonymous takes much of the sting out of being on the receiving end. It is far better when we lend aid to others unconsciously -- when we give ourselves over to others so completely that our egos merge with theirs, and neither is conscious of being in a superior or inferior position.

Level One: Helping someone to become self-sufficient. The most basic need of a human being is to feel needed and capable. Thus, the highest form is to help someone find a job or set them up in business. This preserves their dignity, and at the same time transforms them from being a recipient into one with the capacity to give to others. Similarly, if you are in a position to counsel or give advice to someone, it is important to instill in them confidence in their own ability to find solutions to their dilemmas, and even be a source of strength to others.

Ok, so you are probably wondering why I took all this time to talk about the concept of giving. The imperative to give is deeply ingrained in the soul. I have met individuals who suspected ulterior motives as my motivation for giving. Even a few folks that I thought were friends, but ended our friendship when help was given. And this has caused me a lot of personal anguish. This is my true nature; this is how I was raised and this is how I live my life. There are no strings attached to my giving. (I am thankful for the ones who see this in me )

In the course of our lives, we face many situations when we are dependent on the kindness and generosity of others to make it through difficult times. The way we reach out to others when fortune is on our side will often determine how fate will treat us in our moment of need. I truly believe that the gifts that we give to others will eventually return to us. Our acts of charity toward each other are the “vessel and receptacle” for the flow of sustenance.

When we give ourselves to help others in some way, it shows the natural-born giver in us all. Some fight the urge to give and “win.” But giving, in the sense of the duty to share, is but one expression of a deeper, underlying truth - that existence itself is founded on a giver-recipient dynamic (i.e. we live to give and receive).

Some how words here seem appropriate to a level one can give with the wrong or right intention and motivation…

Artist: Sugarland
Song: Stay

“Why don't you stay
I'm down on my knees
I'm so tired of being lonely
Don't I give you what you need
When she calls you to go
There is one thing you should know
We don't have to live this way
Baby, why don't you stay…”

“I can't take it any longer
But my will is getting stronger
And I think I know just what I have to do
I can't waste another minute
After all that I've put in it
I've given you my best
Why does she get the best of you
So next time you find you wanna leave her bed for mine

Why don't you stay
I'm up off my knees
I'm so tired of being lonely
You can't give me what I need
When she begs you not to go
There is one thing you should know
I don't have to live this way
Baby, why don't you stay, yeah”

As I long for warmer weather, I reminisce about the summer long gone..."Baby, it's cold outside."

AKA{=}

It's a Friday and you've finished your last appointment of the day. You are heading towards your car to start your trek home. As you approach your car, you see me sitting on the hood. Although glad to see me, I know how you hate it when I sit on your car. I smile and yell, Taxi! You're thinking, "Leanna knows that I'm going to be pissed because she's sitting on my car. She drives me crazy... "

I casually ask why you look so perturbed. You give if one of those "if looks could kill looks." I giggle and slide off of the hood of your car. I ask you if you have another vehicle that I could sit on. You ask me where my car is and I tell you that I need a ride because I had a friend drop me off. You tell me that's there will be a fee for taxi services. I look at you and tell you that since I don't have any way home that I'll do pay anything. You look at me and tell me to get into the car...

As you enter the car, I see you unbuckling your pants. As you sit down, you open your fly and your hard cock pops out. You grab my head and pull my mouth down to your throbbing cock! I open my mouth to feel your cock slide into my mouth. As you thrust up, you push my head down. I am quickly fucking you with my mouth. You instruct me to rub your balls and suck you tightly as I move my mouth up and down on your cock. Within seconds, I feel your balls tighten up and the blast of your hot cum as it shoots into my mouth. You pull my head back and shoot the remainder of your load over my lips and chin. You wipe the cum off of my face with your finger. You recline my seat is that it is flat and you instruct me to lie on my stomach. You spread my ass cheeks and push your finger deep inside. I let out a gasp as I raise my ass up so you can penetrate me deeper. As I am moaning loudly and my skin is flushed, you can tell that I'm getting really excited. You pull out and tell me that I will have to "pay" the rest of my cab fare when we get to my place. I look at you informing you that I was just about to cum. You just laugh...

As you drive away, you instruct me to take off my skirt and finger my pussy. The quickest way to my place is via the highway. As we drive along, you tell me not to stop playing with myself. As we approach some trucks, you slow the car down and as the truckers acknowledge what I'm doing. The public display has me very turned on. I quickly remove my top and bra and may lay back on your car seat finger fucking myself with one hand and pinching my nipple with the other. You ask me what it feels like to have every trucker within a 10 mile stretch of highway hoping to get a glimpse of the sexy naked buxom blond. I tell that I'm so hot that when I cum, I'm going to drench your seat! Not wanting me to do that you, you begin to drive faster. You have me lean over the console and suck your cock to hardness again...

When we arrive at my place, you pull into my garage. You come up behind my naked body and lay your body against mine. You instruct me to get a couple of blankets and pillows and that you will meet me on the back deck. In a few minutes you come out. You instruct me to set up the blankets and pillow in a way so that I'm lying on a lawn chair on my stomach with my pussy and ass open to take your cock. I position myself so that I'm standing over the lawn chair with my back end towards the end so that you can walk up and fuck either my pussy or ass. You approach me telling me that the view is quite nice. You slide your cock in to my wet pussy. You moan as you slide your cock all the way in to my tight pussy. Bent over me from the back side you begin to shove your cock in and out of my pussy. I moan as I thrust myself against you taking your cock deep inside of me. You grab on to my breasts as you work my pussy. You move so that your legs are over the sides of my ass. As you feel your balls tightening, you withdraw your cock from my pussy and push against my ass. I’m so relaxed and your cock slides in with just a few thrusts. Within seconds your cock is buried deep into my ass. It is so tight! The sensation causes your balls to tighten and your cock to explode! As you cum, your humping against me causes my excited pussy to explode and my cum drips down my legs. As you withdraw your cock from my ass, I ask you if my cab fare is now paid. You grab me pulling your body close to yours and tell me that I still owe you BIG TIME...

The Meaning of Auld Lang Syne
Posted:Dec 31, 2007 6:55 pm
Last Updated:Jan 3, 2008 5:37 pm
3732 Views
On New Year's Eve, the most common song for most English-speaking people to sing is "Auld Lang Syne." Isn't it funny how it's possible to sing and hear a song so many times and have no idea what it means or even what language it is

"Auld Lang Syne" is an extremely old Scottish song that was written down in the 1700s. Robert Burns is the person whose transcription got the most attention, so the song is associated with him.

One good translation of the words "auld lang syne" is "times gone by." So (incorporating a couple of other translations) when singing this song, we are saying, "We'll drink a cup of kindness yet for times gone by."

In another translation, "auld lang syne" refers to a friendship between childhood friends who have been parted and met again. A literal translation is for the sake of our long friendship we should join hands and share a drink together in the spirit of good will. To extend that meaning it means that we should not forget our old friends and celebrate reunion with them.

In the words of the late Dan Fogelberg...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Same Auld Lang Syne

Met my old lover in a grocery store
The snow was falling Christmas Eve
Stole behind her in the frozen foods
and I touched her on the sleeve

She didn't recognize the face at first
but then her eyes flew open wide
Tried to hug me and she spilled her purse
and we laughed until we cried

Took her groceries to the checkout stand
The food was totaled up and bagged
Stood there lost in our embarrassment
as the conversation dragged

Went to have ourselves a drink or two
but couldn't find an open bar
Bought a six-pack at the liquor store
and we drank it in the car

We drank a toast to innocence,
we drank a toast to now
Tried to reach beyond the emptiness
but neither one knew how

She said she'd married her an architect
Kept her warm and safe and dry
She said she'd like to say she loved the man
but she didn't want to lie

I said the years had been a friend to her
and that her eyes were still as blue
But in those eyes I wasn't sure if I saw doubt or gratitude

She said she saw me in the record store
and that I must be doing well
I said the audience was heavenly
but the traveling was hell

We drank a toast to innocence
we drank a toast to time
We're living in our eloquence,
another old lang syne

The beers were empty and our tongues grew tired
and running out of things to say
She gave a kiss to me as I got out
and I watched her drive away

Just for a moment I was back in school
And felt that old familiar pain
And as I turned to make my way back home
the snow turned into rain...

December's Full Moon: The Full Cold Moon or the Full Long Nights Moon
Posted:Dec 23, 2007 8:25 pm

As the winter cold fastens its grip, and nights are at their longest and darkest, the December full moon, the Full Cold Moon or Full Long Night Moon arrives. December's moon is also sometimes called the Moon before Yule.

The term Long Night Moon is a doubly appropriate name because the midwinter night is indeed long, and because the Moon is above the horizon for a long time. The midwinter full Moon has a high trajectory across the sky because it is opposite a low Sun.

Sounds like instead of viewing the full moon tonight, it would be a better night to stay inside and enjoy a glass of wine, a fire in the fireplace, and a good friend or two
