Place your Bets: Its Melbourne Cup time





The Melbourne Cup has been a day of glamour, prestige and celebration for the past 143 years and is that one Tuesday in November where Australia stops for a horse race. If there should ever come a day that a country might be vulnerable I would reckon that it would be yesterday:Melbourne Cup day yep that just might be it..
Fancy attire and what appears to me a classy feeling... all betting on a spectacular event where a 1000 pound beast pumps and snorts and grinds the grassy soil as it sprints into the distance with the jockey trying to get across the line first.. wow.. the thrill and rush. especially if you placed a bet.. like I DID>. yep .. I am not the gambling type.. NO SUR'REBOB but I managed to place 4 bets and guess what I did.. YES>>!! big beginners luck action happening for me.. I picked 3 of the top 4 horses and if I hadn't been such a cheep skate I would have broke the bank.. HA HA.. The WINNER was Efficient then Purple Moon then Mahler.. HOLY toledo.. the fourth placer was Zipping .. and Yep I picked 1 2 and 4 all up front.. and. I f I had been there in Melbourne .. I am sure I would have looked absolutely fab .. but I probably wouldnt remember a thing today ..

Peace and Love.. Melisa

wake up and smell the coffee

Cold winds a blowin, sing songs a howlin. The weather is raw the weather is king. Shorter days knocking at the door. remembrances of yesteryear, the good old days, realizing they are permanently gone and that it will never be the same state again. Its a hard world to swallow sometimes, and especially as the time progresses and with that the expectations of adaption and evolution are ever present.. But it's easier to reflect than pro actively predict.! I am faced with the harsh reality that the place in the world that I am from , the magical all possible place that I come from is vanishing, slipping away and turning into a place of sour milk and no longer that rich golden land of milk and honey...... no dwelling but really dwelling. that is the state I sit in. the longing and desperation of knowing exactly how things would turn out. its gone its gone so gone gone gone... not hopeless just placeless spaceless danceless joyless empty outta wack adaptive acceptance
