The Business Finally Starts at After Midnight through May 1…

Update on Local Sightings…

I can not give an update on all the details I sorted out between the last time I spoke to you all, and all the really great plans I have set in place for my future. It suffices to say I managed to get no sleep at all and am off by noon to begin running with several balls I started rolling yesterday. The first changes I can really affirm now are getting off of disability soon if it is feasible, a brand business that I am beginning to aid my first effort, and a dependable vehicle for all the dreams we must begin to make come true if we intend to have very best life possible in these difficult times. I may ask for well known sources around here to give me a hand in some changes I will be putting in motion by next month at the latest. There may even be some monetary compensation for each of you who helps me get started now in the not too distant future. Plus I am working on a plan to set up a site big enough for some of you to have a whole page for promotional purposes in exchange for a few things I am working on right now. This site will be hosted on my own dot.com and need a link on your site if you want to be involved in the personal future of my life right now. I need to warn you there will be a lot of well intentioned and very tasteful advertisement on this site if I can obtain some seed funds from advertising. Again if you get involved in a small manner you may be investing money in a very successful second business for me. I intend to become very big in industries all of you are interested in. I also intend to finance the whole thing through the income I make and a few well chosen investments. I am again too excited again. I really am reaching a new level of frantic activity right now and am a little afraid to try this with my condition. However, someone once told me a few things that are helping guide me right now. One told me I could sell ice to Eskimos, another told me nothing ventured, nothing gained, someone else told me aim for you best dream, another once said follow your bliss, one said follow your passion, and someone very important wrote a book about following your purpose in your own life. I am currently working at and with those admirable goals in mind. Give me a little time with setting up everything I need to feel comfortable right now.

 

I will put up a picture of my new ride as soon as I can get everything together to let you know some details about that experience. I will also try to get help to put up links this evening to a place you can purchase something similar with the best of all that is available. This involves a minimal advertisement on my new site and maybe a link here and under the picture of the biggest investment I have made up to date. One other thing I will post more details of how any of you who remain my blog buddies can help me at this time and begin to reap small rewards to make some of your own dreams come true.

 

I very much believe in what was said in the book, Pay It Forward, and the movie of the same name. I suggest that each make a small investment of time and money and either read the whole book or watch the entire movie. If you have already done one or both of these things you have a game plan for all my future efforts. I want to be in the best position to influence the world in the future. I also intend to guide all I am doing upon sound spiritual principles that currently exist. The last thing I want to say about all this is a little now could make a lot of change in the lot of the poor and underprivileged similar to myself in the near future.

 

Details on the rest as I get time. I am very busy, and need thoughts and prayers from all of you to help me remain balanced right now. I am running on pure adrenaline here. I remind you again I have not had any sleep in nearly twenty-four hours and am expecting a very bad crash after I complete all I must get done today. I do not expect to get much written until later tonight and you will not have all the inspirational/motivational entries I try to provide daily. Do go to BlogShares if you own any stock or want in on any blogs I am linked to on either of the lists here and look especially for popular blogs. I suggest you invest your BlogShares capital in some of those today if stock is available, If I do a major share release today it will in all likelihood be the last one until I have the time to become more active in that game. Plus I intend to drive the stock in that blog up and down until I can get it at good return for all the stuff you now invest in it. I also intend to become a very good player in that game. Remember the last update on that BlogShares profile of mine and look at my levels. I intend to become rated in the top players on that game. It is one of the only popular games that I play very well.

 

Technical assistance from all the geeks around here is hereby requested with changes at home. If you have time I suggest you writers and artists begin to get ready to publish some of your work and put some money back to set up the proper registrations for any work you have ready. I am planning to get some big and better print and online distribution channels up and running with the business license I plan to get up and running by the end of this month. Save your tax refund for all the changes rolling out soon. I plan to make the talented among us able to live in a lifestyle comparable to Miss Cookie Pussy and I also plan to fix up accommodations for our first meeting outside cyberspace. If anyone is interested I suggest again put up some money for bigger and better things in your lifestyles soon.

 

I have to get ready for a shower now. I will be driving my almost brand new Black Jeep Liberty over to dealership to set up a few final touches on it later today. Plus I have a little cash left over from recent returns to spend for small things today like great food to fuel Alex and I on our adventures out in the real world. The vehicle came with almost all the bells and whistles available on a late 2004 and it only had 19,040 miles when I drove it out late last night. I secured 6.5% credit on my loan and I am planning to pay it off early through the business. It is a nice ride for Alex and I until I can get together money for us to have two. He loves it and says he will now start driving a little more. I have average credit to explain a little of my excitement over a loan.

 

Really have spent too much of my time on here now. I need to go get ready quickly while the two of us have a little energy.

 

TTYL,

Jo Ann

Short Note Before I Leave…

Just so you know what is going on if I should be gone a while today. I am leaving to go with Alex to look at cars and some other stuff. I promised I would do this today, and I try to keep my promises. I tried to get enough together for you all to read while I was gone. I should be back as soon as I can.

 

Thank you for reading while I am away.

 

Smiles,

Jo Ann

More Poems for You To Enjoy…

First of all I am still trying to solve the problem of trying to set Photoshop as the default program to open images in. If anyone has any ideas on this I would much appreciate a heads up. I really want this capability and I have already tried documents and settings but that does not work. I cannot find the proper help file. Sure this is built in somewhere, just am not finding where. I am wondering if I have to remove the old program. That is my next step if I don’t get some help.

 

Next a few very short old poems. These show some of my twisted sense of humor.

 

A Void

 

All logical equations

No longer come

To satisfactory conclusion,

All equate to null sets.

Always Somethin’

 

Somehow it always happens

When things are going great

Some shot of ill fortune

Comes along by fate.

 

© Jo Ann J. A. Jordan

 

Coffee

 

Murky water

with an awful taste,

but it is better

than nothing to drink.

Incidentally the reason I am still so happy is that I thought that Jeff had thrown away all these old poems to spite me. Now I have them all and it is incredible. You may hear this many times in the future. I wish I could tell the SOB that I found them all. It might make him intensely angry, but he has not contacted me in several months and I have vowed not to call him anymore. I wrote about my reasons for that decision a long while ago. In archives if you want to know more about the situation. He blew me off in the very last email he sent, said "Good-Bye", to me, and he knows this; if you ever, ever say "Good-Bye" it means things are irrevocably over. If you all will do me the favor never say that particular word unless you never mean to interact with me again. I don’t use the word, I say "bye" instead. Just a heads up for future reference.

 

On to a few longer poems that come from the oldest collection:

 

Against Reality

 

Warm and close

Hold me here

But do not ask

Too much of me.

 

I can only

Give a portion

Of what I am

Because of this reality.

 

Were I free

To give you

What you desire

It would change us for eternity.

 

That is too much

For me to touch

Right now, because I am

Caught in old insecurities.

 

Perhaps, one day

I will break the bounds

And live as I wish

But fear holds me aground.

 

© Jo Ann J. A. Jordan

 

A Time

 

Give me just

An hour,

One more hour,

To hold you.

 

Give me just

A moment,

A solitary moment,

To look into your eyes.

 

Give me just

A while,

A little while,

To love you.

 

Give me just

A chance,

One slim chance,

To make you mine.

This next poem made me think of the one who calls herself Grounded Butterfly. If you will tell her to come read it when you see her I would appreciate that very much. So this is kinda a dedication. I cannot quite remember where I last saw her or I would tell her to come look myself:

 

Butterfly

 

Gentle butterfly

Air light and soft,

Bright picture

Against a colorful backdrop.

 

Flighty butterfly

A flash of life,

Brilliant passing

Against a motionless background.

 

Quiet butterfly

Mute hush and silent,

Beautiful mime

Against a world of noise.

 

Graceful butterfly

A fearless dancer,

Brave poise

Against a world of chaos.

 

Bright, brilliant,

Beautiful, brave,

Yet so short-lived

Butterfly.

Lots of stuff I am still working on. Please be patient. This is all the typing I can do right now, so I will see you later.

I am just waking up because I went to bed around 5:00AM and woke up when someone called at 12:30PM. Please bear with me as I get a few of the posts up and going.

 

I want to thank everyone who commented on recent entries. I should have a few more poems up soon. I just went through the box for what I thought was the best of what is there.

 

Take care and hugs to all.

A New Old Poem Makes Its Debut…

I have a few things to say. Can anyone suggest a munchie, for some reason I am unable to find anything I like at present.

 

Then I have an old poem, very old, right now I do not feel this way at all.

 

Captive To You

 

I gave you my heart

Totally, completely

Free of any charge.

 

All I asked of you

A little love,

Tenderness in return.

 

Now you tell me

You want my love

No longer.

 

You have become

Cold, cruel,

A heartless brute.

 

Still you hold my heart,

Love, in your palm;

I am captive to you.

Going to bed really soon. Just a short post before I try sleeping. I promise to get back to comments soon as I can. Incidentally I am still leaving all comments on my blog. I saw a few sites that were editing what was posted. Not my style at all.

 

I love to talk to you guys. I still kinda hope there are no tasteful, but nasty comments on the blog, but so far I never delete anything on the site unless something happens with MSN anything here will be politely considered and remain on the space. I am sorry for all the folks that got deleted because I liked the comments.

 

Thank you for stopping by… Oh, and do not worry about me going anywhere soon. I realized I could not find anywhere with quite the options I want right now.

 

One last housekeeping note, please do ask if you want to repost on your own site. All of my stuff is copyrighted for a reason. I don’t mind reposts of poems and such, but would rather know if at all possible.

 

Smiles,

Jo Ann

Quick Note on Changes Here…

I changed the blog some more. I found too many of my theme on my trip visiting… no offense meant by the change. I just wanted something a little different. Maybe I will stay here a while.

I also added some more links during my cruising around. You might want to check over in Other Favorite blogs. These are some that can move up if they only link back to me…

Just a quick lick and run here.

Smiles,
Jo Ann

Excuse Me A Moment… You Might Want to Skip This Entry…

Something finally managed to piss me off today, I thought I could go a few days without getting into a pissy mood, but no. MSN is up to its old tricks of pissing me off by crashing every time I open two windows at once. I sometimes hate MSN. I am sorry I am saying this again, but I am very pissed. I can not even get to another space right now, plus I cannot edit mine. I want to grab someone and warn them never to use MSN as a provider.

 

Now, the rant is over. I was playing with PhotoShop and I can not seem to set it as the default program for opening images. Does anyone who is out there know how to do this. I would much appreciate your help if you know. Thanks very much.

 

Smiles,

Jo Ann

Me A While Ago…

 

Pay special attention to the hair in this photo. I am thinking of coloring my hair again, should I go for it or leave it as is in more recent photos. I really don’t know what to do about this. If you would leave me a comment maybe it would help me decide. I am leaning toward doing it currently, I even have the stuff on hand.

 

I may bore you a bit, but I am going to leave an update about BlogShares while I am here.

I want this one for my records I think I made significant gains today so far. Thank you for being patient with me here. I will try not do this too often. I once gave a tutorial on BlogShares if you are interested. It is in the Archives right now.

 

TTYL,
