Ahem......today is Jerry's Birthday!

[Kelena]

Happy Birthday Allen! The more the merrier! Billie Holiday was born on our birthday, too! She was a heroin addict and had a distinctive voice. You gotta take the celebrities you are given on your birthday. As for the livestock, since I am on the mainland, and since my boyfriend and I have broken up and the future is uncertain, I must live through my rabbit. And my rabbit used to have a partner, but doesn't now. So, I would like my rabbit to have a partner. He lives completely off the land. Moisture from the grass. Nutrients from Hawaii's bounty, and shelter from my rabbit-sized lava tube. I love my rabbit.

I thought you might be an Aries, Jerry. It comes out when you are talking about the HPP board! April is a most beautiful time of year!

Although my relationship of 19 years has just collapsed like a medieval italian town, I am strangely happy. Maybe it's the kava. Or the memory of the mists on the mountains of Molokai that spread apart to reveal the gorgeous landscape beneath. There are some really horrible consequences from destruction of a relationship, but I can't think about that today. I'll go crazy if I do. I'll have to think about it tomorrow.....that's what I'll do. Think about it tomorrow.

Since it is my birthday and I am feeling free, I choose to post the lyrics to Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls:
Verse 1

And I'd give up forever to touch you
Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight

And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything seems like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know your alive


And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
