The heart ask pleasure first; and then excuse from the pain. Emily Dickinson
"What is it? My Dear?"
" Ah how can we bear it?"
" This. For so short a time. How can we
sleep this time away?"
"We can be quiet together, and pretend-since it is the beginning-that we have all the time in the world'
"And everyday we shall have less. And then none"
"Would you rather, therefore, have had nothing at all?"
"No. This is where I have always been coming to. Since my time began. And when I go away from here, this will be the mid-point, to which everything ran, before, and from which everything will run. But now, my love, we are here, we are now, and those other times are running else where."
A.S. Byatt Possessions
These two passages moved me in an way that I began to feel healed. Especially the last paragraph by Byatt. Time is just time. Had I read The Time Travelers Wife before Jonathan died I would have read this at his memorial service. I read it over and over and over again. As if it was from him and imagine he and I having that conversation. When I reach the last question, Would you rather, therefore, have had nothing at all?", I say no and give thanks to God that I have had love in many ways. Some people go a lifetime without ever being loved or falling in love. Jonathan could have too.

Sticky Icky Inquiry
One of my friends from college did this and so now I will too. I love asking and getting asked these questions. They aren't hard to answer and a few were funny. Everybody is already thinking about these topics but they are often too much for "polite" company. I'm glad my friends can take it for what it is, thoughts, questions, and answers. I bet asking these sticky questions at your next wine night will make your guest more passionate and you will all learn about each other. Learning and accepting is what the world is about and why God made us all so diverse.
1.Would you do meth if it was legalized? nope
2.Abortion: for or against? PRO CHOICE!!! Until EVERY man makes sure he has a condom and takes a proactive part in birth control. Remember Men make the laws that control a woman's body. Use your voice.
3.Would our country fall with a woman president? No. But a woman, not a woman trying to be a "man".
4.Do you believe in the death penalty? You kill you die. Someone killed someone I love. I feel most days he should not be allowed to open his eyes or eat.
5.Do you wish marijuana would be legalized already?Yes. People would be so much nicer to each other.
6.Is it really worse than alcohol? People get violent and black out when they get drunk. Pee themselves, crash cars, brawl in bars, rape and so on. People who smoke pot usually sit in one place and giggle.
7.Are you for or against premarital sex? everyone chooses that for themselves
8. Do you believe in God? God, Jesus, the whole thing.
9.Do you think same sex marriage should be legalized? No. I am all for gay and lesbians but their marriage needs to be different from mine. But they should have all the legal rights.
10.Do you think its wrong that so many Hispanics are moving to the USA? Uh weren't they here first? It's wrong to live in America and not speak English, no matter what country you come from. Americans should know conversational language with regards to the country they in. I hear all the time from Europe to Canada, English speaking American get no love.
11. A 12 year old girl has a baby... should she keep it? That is for her and her family to decide. I would talk my own daughter into abortion not adoption.
12.Should the alcohol age be lowered to 18? It should be raised to 23.
13.Should the war in Iraq be called off? Until every American have running whether, electricity, and basic food needs met then America doesn't need to be anywhere but in America.
14. Assisted suicide is illegal... do you agree? If someone wants to die and they are sick then let them die peacefully. I have seen what suicide can do to a family and those that discover their newly departed. Its no fun.
16.A mother is declared innocent after murdering her 5 children in a temporary insanity case.Do you agree? See question 4.
17.Are you afraid others will judge you from reading some of your answers? Afraid? lol. I hope someone does judge me. Thats on them. I'm black I am always judged, BRING IT ON!!! lol. =)

In the news
Why do children as young as 2 yo need to be put on cholestrol medication?
I saw a family the parents were well 300 lbs and the aughter was a little chubby and they had 4 of the biggest slurpees I have ever seen. In no world does a child, need 20 oz of sugar water at 9:30 am.

The Joy Of What?
At about 12:30 am this morning my good friend ShellEy and I enjoyed one of our end of the week marathon catch up calls. ShellEy and her husband just bought a house (we are thrilled that we will be exactly 6.2 miles away from each other as opposed to 20) and are planning a housewarming party. We talked about food, wine, and my obsession with The Joy Of Cooking...
This is how the convo went...
Sorrelle: Do you have the The Joy Of Cooking?
Shelley: Yes I do. I like it.
Sorrelle: It has some cool stuff...
long pause
Shelley: yea it does...wait...do I have the joy of cooking? pause Wait, no! I have The Joy Of Sex!
I don't know what that girl is doing in her kitchen but she makes amazing dishes.

My Name is Shaw Puhallic and I have a confession
Back when I lived in LA I spent a lot of time at Scribners near my job. One day I found a book that suited me to a T. It was Called Confessions Of A Shopaholic. For the past half decade I have found a kindred sprit in Rebecca Brandon nee Bloomwood. I have found her smart and savvy and a slave to all good fashion. She is how I learned of TopShop and Josephs.
When news broke last year it was being turned into a movie I was elated. When US had a photo from Isla Fisher on set in some crazy outfit I was floored. Becky Brandon would not approve not in the least. The frock she had on was like a circus tightrope walker on acid, poufy, tacky and not chic. Its as if they are making her Carrie Bradshaw and only SJP can do CB.
From that one picture I am saddned and deflated. Isla fisher is not Becky Brandon, and Becky Brandon was not tacky. I still might see it. I'll wait for the trailers and pray not to have a seizure from flashes of bright fabric and bad outfits.

Rock On Mr President
I went into a store for a lollipop and came out with the new issue of RollingStone. The cover grabbed my attentiion. I wouldnt have recognized the mag if it wasn't for its unique shape. The cover...well the cover...ITS @&^$*#! AWESOME!!! No words. Just Obama, looking so handsome, against a white background. Who ever decided to leave bylines off the cover is a genius. I couldn't find a pic online so go grab it.
