North Hampton Beach

As I watched her freestyle her "hip hop" moves in delight as she waited for the next wave to come in, I thought about how lucky I am to have her in my life. To share this world with her and to see her experience it, is a true blessing...the greatest form of inspiration I have ever had. Why would I need or even want to look further?

"I Love You"
After playing in the sun, we walked down to the Purple Plum. They had 70 something different flavors of ice cream. Samantha had Oreo and I had Pistachio. OH and lobster rolls for $18...I thought I would wait to get back in Maine where I can grab one for $5. Which reminds me, holy crap I saw a lot of nice cars down there...and fine looking surfer guys ;)
We went to the beach to see the huge waves that everyone was talking about, thanks to Hurricane Earl. I parked at the part of the beach that was mild, but still huge waves were coming in.
God I love that smile, I could kiss her cheeks for days :)

We made it

Late last night, the pillows felt so good!
Damn long ass drive.
Dreaming about North Hampton Beach in the morning :)

Ride Tonight

Just around this corner
is a hill that I hate to climb.
Its long and seems to take forever to peek.
At the bottom of the hill.
This is about 7 miles or so into the loop Ive been doing after work.
It was 86 out
and I certainly thought
I looked like more of a hot sweaty mess than this.
Tonight I completed mile 93.

Tonight I got that run in, here was my view

Track of Trek Training

8-27-10 Bought new rode bike
8-28-10 = 30 miles Rt 1 PI Rd
8-29-10 = 13 miles Rt 1 Van Buren Rd
Total weekend: 43 miles
After three hours of nothingness in my head
as I rolled back into town on mile 29,
this song came into my head.

"I sit and wait does an angel contemplate my fate and do they know the places
Where we go when we're grey and old
'cos I've been told that salvation lets their wings unfold
So when I'm lying in my bed thoughts running through my head
And i feel that love is dead I'm loving angels instead

And through it all he offers me protection a lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong and down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me I know that life won't break me
When I come to call he won't forsake me I'm loving angels instead

When I'm feeling weak and my pain walks down a one way street I look above
And I know I'll always be blessed with love and as the feeling grows
He breathes flesh to my bones and when love is dead
I'm loving angels instead"

I feel. Im real.

Hi, you've reached Amanda.

Sorry I'm unable to come to the phone right now,

but I'm busy wearing ear plugs to his song,

listening to the universe,

feeling the wind on my face

and living in the moment.

Now excuse me,

I have a bike to ride.

Blank

I am creatively uninspired,
dead in the water of nothingness.
Blank.
The well is empty
and its been a drought for a very long time.

Football Season 101

Here is what I know/like about football:
Sexy hot men wear these tight lil pants
and once in a while I get to see one smack the other on the ass,
and that is fantastic!
The End.

The boss just braided my hair

and Ive been instructed

to wear it to work tomorrow....

Kasso

For my artist friends

and all you others

that find my mind

and elapsed time

interesting.

Poem by Jamie Caldwell

LOOKING FORWARD

"You've spread your wings

and learned how to fly

your putting your past behind you

your limits now the sky

You have a beautiful daughter

who's always inspired you

you always reach for the stars

and you've taught her to do that too

Samantha has always come first

but your arts not far behind

a new destination awaits you somewhere

new experiences you soon will find

You've had your share of ups and downs

but you've always held your head high

nobody will ever hold you back again

I wouldn't want to even see someone try

You bring stories to life and keep memories alive

in the art pieces you choose to do

with each stroke on your canvas

through your eyes we see something new

Follow your dreams wherever they may take you

I wish you and "the boss" the best for the years ahead

many more lives I'm sure you will touch

wherever you are led"
