Mad Matt Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 This here port be fer all us scalliwags who arrrrrr in a melancholy mood. No one t' judge you, we arrrrrrrr only here t’ help. Dark Water can be full of cruel irony, despair, or any helpless or inane thoughts you may wish to share. Want t' get somethin' off yer chest? Steer int’ port, pull up a stool and lay it all on the barrelhead. Lyrics, poems, even cries for help if need be. Here, you may explore the dark side of your soul. Nothin’ TOO freaky, don’t want to scare everyone away! This corner of th' Pub shall be dimly lit and open to those of all ages. Th' cauldron in th' corner is actually Ray's corn chowder stewin'. Ray, line up th' drinks. A few shots o' bourbon would do nicely. If anyone else shows up, theirs will be on me as well. You will be flogged. And God willing, come morning, you will be flogged some more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Matt Posted March 22, 2006 Author Share Posted March 22, 2006 I'm too young t' be doin' it, but I'm having my mid-life crisis a bit early. Whether it would do me any good or not, I don't know, but I wish I could hop on a motorcycle and travel. Whether it's the road to discovering myself, finding a new woman, realizing I should keep the old one.... I looked at the compass of my life recently and was amazed at what I saw. The needle spins wildly on its axis, offering no guidance whatsoever. Damn thing must be broken! Hopefully one day....hopefully soon....I will find the direction my life is meant to go, rather than being stuck in this current squall that spins me about. You will be flogged. And God willing, come morning, you will be flogged some more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt Sophia M Eisley Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I'm looking for my compass o' life to offer a direction towards comfort and assurance, something I haven't felt for quite a few months. Romance would be nice too, but eh, I'm so busy I think that arena would get jealous of everything else going on. And I miss my family (parents, brother, grandparents, etc). They're so far away; been over two years since I moved out of state and away from the majority of them. Even though I consider many of my friends to be almost family, there's nothing like hanging with one's own relations. Mine are such fun. And I'm wanting my darned back to stop hurting. I'm moving smaller things out of my current abode and into another, and I'm sure sticking to the smaller will be good (the movers can handle the big stuff). Last night I moved a BIG chair up three flights of stairs on my own (used a hand truck), and I'm regretting I did that on my own. Perhaps we'll meet again under better circumstances. ---(---(@ Dead Men...Tell No Tales. Welcome, Foolish Mortals... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merrydeath Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 I'm thinking of making a club up fer women.. called the Bobettes. We carry our own 'fun', have cats and dogs, and take out our own garbage. A side of that is a prequel to the RED HAT SOCIETY.. called Chicks in Leather. ( CHILL) We like rock and roll, fast cars, large margaritas, and sometimes, bad boys.

Arthur Richards from Kent Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 (walks up from the recess of unlit corner comfort and takes the mike) I just wanted to let ye all know that based on me last blood tests the doctor says I am not responding to the chemo as is needed for full and total remission.

Silkie McDonough Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 ::Hugs Kent as he steps away from the mic:: I... ::the feedback reverberate through the speakers in the still room. I step back from the mic until the sound is squelched.:: ...I'm just in a bad place today and need to dump. I have my second Carpel Tunnel Release surgery scheduled for Thursday. I'm not nervous, the first went so well but there is a little stress involved. I am having problems with a re-occurring infection under my skin that I thought had cleared up over a month ago. That makes me nervous about the surgery and possible complications. My Father has been in the hospital, had tests and procedures, then was moved to a rehab facility and back since March 2, (One year and one day after my Mothers death.) and this morning I get a 9 AM call from my sister, my father was moved back to the hospital at 4AM, breathing difficulties, fluid in his lungs ...did I mention that my mother died from complications of phnomonia? Oh yea, They are all in Pittsburgh and I am in the Philadelphia area. I have been home and alone much of the time since February 16 recovering from my first surgery. Being alone too much of the time sucks! It's spring and I have spring fever. I'm tired of the cold and I long to go some place where there is sunshine, warm air and some pirates to brighten my day but beyond air fair I can't get the numbers to work. My compass is FINALLY pointing some place but I can't seem to get enough wind in my sails to move forward! My love life, is...well, what love life? Finally, I'd like to join CHILL. ...Thank you for listening. ::Steps away from the mic. Scuffles into the shadows with MaddMatt and gets a hug from him.:: Miss you Matt.

Merrydeath Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 (real title of a book) I miss my man but my aim is getting better! Silkie.. I hope all goes well with the surgery. I've rarely had any but I hated having it. Make sure you are getting plenty of water and Vit C.. Arthur... if something does happen... or not... you are well loved here, and would be missed for who you are.. a smart ass and all around rogue. and thank you for that! as for CHILL, I am going to see if it can go nationally.. I am too young for the RED HATS but I want to have a girls night out.. As for me and how I feel.. my car is having trouble, with lights going out, paying people to tell me they don't know why, and (BEST BUY) really did a crappy job putting my car stereo in.. then, the tie rod broke on my car, luckily at the on ramp and not going at 80 or I wouldn't be here. I would still be flippig like a bike end over end. and did I mention that I have a stalker who made my life hell??? Worst week of my life.. by far.

Silkie McDonough Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 MerryD luv, thanks for the word on the surgery but that almost two weeks ago. Now lady, I will be more than glad to head the Eastern Region for CHILL! cars can be repaired and finally, stalkers ...send a few pyrates after him! Gawd! Not good ...be careful ...like i actually have to tell you that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merrydeath Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Silkie, I'm sorry I was late for that. I was a week over due and I've been late for most things since then... but not for rum. :) as for CHILL, I think it could work, with divisions in every state. Meetings to celebrate birthdays with margaritas, calling when you have to buy a swimsuit, watching tear-jerkers while eatting chocolate ice cream... sounds like the sleep over in the pub!! as for the stalker, I would love to sick someone on him. He used his business to find out all sorts of stuff about me, and then threatened me. Its pretty bad when you carry mace with you to the rest rooms at work. (wishing I really had cannon I could use.)

Mad Matt Posted May 27, 2006 Author Share Posted May 27, 2006 There are still many dark days ahead as I have begun to sail alone. It's a truly eerie feeling waking up in this house with no one next to me. I'm sure I will get used to it, but I have a feeling it won't be any time soon. I have lots of options that have presented themselves to me as of late, it's just a matter of sorting them out. My future will surely still take me to California. As to what point and purpose, I do not yet know. For now, I will languish away my days here in Arizona until time begins to heal my broken spirit. I work 6 days a week in an attempt to keep myself busy and out of trouble. I've been out with people from work once. A couple weeks ago I went out and got so drunk I don't remember half the night. It was almost like a cleansing took place that night. I am apparently seen as more "human" at work. Not the robotic heartless taskmaster I so often am. (Those few who have met me here can attest to that fact that I am generally cold and seemingly devoid of emotion.) Maybe the tides are turning; maybe winds are changing; maybe it's all a concerted effort to banish me to the bottom of the sea. Time will tell.... You will be flogged. And God willing, come morning, you will be flogged some more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silkie McDonough Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 Bring that light here. ::Inspecting the print:: Now this is a good print! The registration is perfect and the artwork sublime! Notice how the artist was able to capture the feeling and not just the form of the evil one. You can almost feel the dread oozing off the paper. Look at it!

Mad Matt Posted May 28, 2006 Author Share Posted May 28, 2006 Now, now, Mr. Phil. No need to leave like that. Just because our personal pits of despair may not be as deep and dark as your currently is, does not mean anyone's expressions of pain and melancholy have no validity. If you need to be crowned king of the damned, then so be it. I have no need to turn this thread into a contest. I want this to be open to all - even you. So long as it's used correctly. The cleansing of our souls is up to us. I would appreciate your return, PyratePhil - if you so desire. You will be flogged. And God willing, come morning, you will be flogged some more.
