What in the world is happening to my NY Giants?

mcat19 @mcat19 (1357) • United States 27 Nov 09

I have never seen such a horrible excuse for a football game as on Thursday night. The Giants remained in their houses eating turkey; they neglected to show up. They had no defense; they had no offense. What is wrong with them?

We had a big problem last night

mcat19 @mcat19 (1357) • United States 17 Jul 09

One of our cats, Paisley, was very interested in a huge mirror on the wall. She was on a table, on her back legs, trying to see behind it. My roommate looked. A bat was there. We were debating what to do when it flew out from...

This is the poem I wrote when my roommate's mom was dying.

mcat19 @mcat19 (1357) • United States 10 Jul 09

She's gone now. He sits right by her side; the tears slide down; the hope is different now: that she goes fast. All those around her try to smile not frown and wonder just how long she has to last. She chose this path...

Do you watch

mcat19 @mcat19 (1357) • United States 30 Jun 09

So You Think You Can Dance? I love that show. I think it's one of the best reality shows on TV. The dancers are fabulous, and the judges are kind and give constructive criticism. Does anyone watch this show?

Something that just struck me, a political sonnet

mcat19 @mcat19 (1357) • United States 19 Jun 09

I don’t get it There’s something that I just don’t understand about the thinking of friends on the right; these differences so rampant through our land often irrupt in vicious verbal fights. They say they want government...

Here is a sonnet I wrote for a friend with an aging cat

mcat19 @mcat19 (1357) • United States 18 Jun 09

Don’t run to watch the birdies any more; don’t sit and watch them from the window sill; don’t eat the food in my dish on the floor; just want to lie in sunlight and be still. Don’t run to her each time I hear her...
