Alright tis the season and all that. I know I am not the only one dealing with the holidays and problems too. This week I lost a friend in a senseless accident. Sort of makes you stop and look at things. Then while I am in that raw sort of state another friend is dealing with an impending death and I know it is making his life hard. The day after the accident I get a message from someone I had become close to. Alright, someone I had fallen for if I am going to be honest with myself, and he is calling it off. Seems I can't catch a break. So to the upset add heart break. Then I get to hear all my faults from my father. The mistakes I've made, including who I've dated. It is just what I needed when I am feeling down on myself. So not exactly feeling perfect or cheery at the moment. Oh yeah, and I had to wait to be paid so I can mail out the various Christmas gifts I had bought in November so they would be done before Christmas was here. Seems I screwed that up too and had it pointed out to me. Just one of those times you feel like crawling into bed, pulling the covers over your head, and staying there till oh I don't know, Spring? But some how I just manage to keep going. Don't know how, and don't know why, but I do. So if you have a little good news, feel free to share it with me. I sure as hell could use some right about now.

Day 14 - Okay this is more of a Winter Song than a holiday song. I am posting two versions again. (Sorry Andy. lol. Just one of those where I like more than one version.) While there are many pairings for this song, I really enjoy the playful way KT Oslin and Barry Manilow do this. And well, I like Glee and face it, the guys do a nice job with it too.

I like Glee's version of River. It isn't bad at all. However still a bit stuck on Joni Mitchell's. My mom use to play it often at this time of the year.

Well, KC, you are now beyond anything you had me read and beta for you so this is all virgin territory for me. Like the rest of your readers I now sit and wait, none too patiently either, for the next chapter. Keep them coming KC.

It is just something I wrote when I was feeling down. It happens and for me to deal with it I usually put those thoughts into words so I can examine them before they overwhelm me. Glad to be of help.

Elisabeth, My poetry is usually a bit on the dark side and deals with things that aren't always pleasant. This is just really about the power of words and the scars they leave. I know what it is like to have to face it and scars you can carry if you survive, but that is the main thing, surviving.

Okay, so I'm partial to cartoons. Like Comic Fan wasn't a hint, and my avatar doesn't give it away. Anyway, I'm back with another one from the world of Charlie Brown. This time by the Royal Guardsmen. Enjoy Day 13. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbhzqoYYROA&NR=1&feature=endscreen

Always Dad. Though sometimes you don't have control over what the fates have in store for you. All you can do is hang on.

My life lies in piles all over the floor. There are photos of family and friends, Notes of goodbye, letters of love, poems of pain Life moves on and you look backward through the door. Where did my dreams go to die? I use to have so many of them. There were things I wanted to do, to see, to be, But somehow life has just passed me by. Now I see the holes in my life. That is where a mother was and a lover was. There is where my own family should be. Why am I alone in all this stri

Day 12 and another tune. I love this version but even in her 70s Eartha Kitt owned this song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHI5lqk3NMU In case you didn't know she did a follow up to this song for Christmas and I consider it part of the original. lol. Enjoy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qm_YHHyAlYY

I'm glad people are finding and enjoying Seeon. For a story that grew out of a prompt it seems to be taking on a life all its own. Seems my beta readers were right. I should learn to trust them more. Seeon will end up with a second book continuing on.

Ohh. Good song Dad.

Marie I am glad you are enjoying it. I like being able to make people happy with what they have.

Oh I have plans for Seeon and Mika. Wait till you hear where the second of arc of the story is going. LOL. I'm such a tease.

I'm glad you are enjoying it. You get a nice dose of Mika next chapter as we start the reception. Naturally due to Mika and Seeon both being royalty, it is more an affair of state then a chance for the two men to enjoy but you'll see.

Day 11 - Okay so I was a teenager in the 80s, but they were early 90s and I happened to like them when they were part of a group, so when the Wilson's did their own Christmas Album you can bet I was getting it. This was the big song off the album and I still love it. And sorry I have a list and we will see how many I can get up before others. but I have fall backs. LOL.

Thank you DK. Well, it turns out that his isolation is going to eventually prove to be an asset to his future. I always seem to have a few tricks up my sleeve.

Well there is enough going on for Seeon. There have been enough people asking that I am now writing the second part. This was originally just written because of the prompt but now it seems to have a life all its own.

Chapter 6 – A Marriage of Cultures Oma and Batea helped Seeon into his wedding dress. The many layers were carefully tied together with the single cord as tradition dictated. When it was done the beautiful blue wedding dress fit him perfectly. Batea gathered the crown and carefully wove Seeon’s hair through it to secure it in place. The various necklaces were layered over the dress and the combs were replaced strategically in Seeon’s hair to help hold the crown in place. When Ba

Welcome to Day 10! Okay I'm posting two versions of this song. The first is from RuPaul. Yeah, my mother got me this album when it came out. And Naturally you need the original which is one my father had and I heard every year till the album mysteriously vanished. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_VhHqK6yoQ

i always liked their version of it but Lugh missed one and it was probably one of the first times I heard it. So posting.

Aww. Thank you KC. You know me, I prefer sweet when I can get it. Life is dark enough most of the time. A little fun, a little common sense, and a lot of get out of my way allows things to be completed easily.

Elisabeth I am glad you liked the story. I figured you were right and hadn't been represented. I don't like to stero types in what is already a well defined arena.
