Some rad advice from a trusted source

In closing a letter to me on My Space, Rich (my friend Amy's husband) wrote the following:

"Take care of yourself, and by all means, dont try to take on the whole world at one time. Stop and smell the roses sometime......just to remind yourself that youre allergic to them. :D "

*laughs*

Thank goodness for Allegra...~8D

This is pretty much the best example of my perspective on the censorship issues at hand. It's a great article...thanks to revsphynx for the link.~8)

Capricorn Drinking style:

Capricorn is usually described as practical,
steadfast, money-hungry and status-thirsty --
no wonder they get left off the astrological
cocktail-party list. But this is the sign of
David Bowie and Annie Lennox, not to mention
Elvis. Capricorn is the true rock star:
independent, powerful and seriously
charismatic, not too eager to please. And if
they make money being themselves, who are you
to quibble? But just like most rock stars,
they're either totally on or totally off, and
they generally need a little social lubricant
to loosen up and enjoy the after party,
especially if they can hook up with a cute
groupie.


Alcohoroscopes- what do the stars say about your drinking style

Eff this.
Makes me sound like I don't ever have a good time...just cuz I don't drink like I used to doesn't mean I am not the life of a party, dammit! besides, some of us are just naturally high on life, ya know?

...

well, we are SOMETIMES anyway...

WTFEVER!

At least I know my chances at fame and fortune are high, considering the stars in these results.

bah...I'm going to the gym, dammit.

R.I.P.

Call me an asshole for not checking. I don't know...does everyone keep track of everyone on their friends lists all the time? I mean, seriously?

I feel horrible right now. It's a stupid horrible, but it's there. This day has gone so well up until now. Now I am falling fast into a sadness that reminisces of people long gone.

I just found out tonight via wraptboy, who read about it on draganfly's LJ...

johnthecamera passed away in December. He apparently had stomach cancer, and it was worse than anyone thought it was. Or rather, he told everyone he was fine.

I wondered where he'd been. He was always a highlight to my LJ. He was so talented as a photographer, simply wonderful eye for the world.

He was a nice guy too. We didn't talk many times, but we exchanged a few correspondences, including my asking him if I could use one of his tree pics as a user icon here on LJ. He was delighted and flattered, said I could, and thanked me for asking permission.

This is the icon you see now.

He sent me a Christmas card that year, one with a beautiful tree he'd photographed on it. I was one of 600+ people on his friends list, yet he thought about the content of the card, knew I liked trees. I thanked him then, and he said he was happy to know he brought me joy during the holidays.

I noticed he had disappeared, especially around the holidays when he was more likely to post more pics. Oh, and he loved to capture the sunset from his window in England...the last picture he posted was of a sunset just after Halloween.

Rest in peace, John.
Thank you for sharing your eyes with us.
And for the trees...~8)
