Smug snow!

Hello all, it has been a while since I have posted so I thought why not update.  Well school has officiallt started.  I find it sort of comical, in a sense, that people are still at home, twiddling their thumbs away waiting to go back to school, while I am already back.  Well, I'm sure they are not twiddling their thumbs, but you know, night time antics do get boring after a while.  Anyways, they cold has hit me, and I remember saying that I could handle it.  Thermal Underwear?!  PSH!  My loins of steal can withstand any cold.  And then I step outside.  Loins of steel indeed.  It is a crippling cold.  A cold I never imagined possible.  And then to top it all off and UNGODLY windchill.  Yes I am officially in hell.  However, today it is a balmy 18 degrees.  Yippee!  At least the sun is shining, it makes the snow go away, so it isn't so much like communist Russia when I walk to class.  On a side note, I pity the people at UIC.  If I went there the Dan Ryan (or whatever major highway that is) would have called me a long time ago.  Their campus is so, UGH!  
I continually digress jeez, ANYWAYS, until today, I was sort of feeling adrift, I think it is because I have taken my medicine.  And while it usually makes me feel terrible, it seems like today is a good day.  Usually I want to hurl myself on sporks, or inflict some sort of pain (nothing too drastic, thus the spork)  so I can feel something.  Its like in Iris by The Goo Goo Dolls, "When everything feels like the movies, you bleed just to know you're alive"  And right now, I feel alive, which is quite a change.  OMG!  Digressions-R-Us, continuing, all of my friends are back at school which is nice, I got the oldies, and the newies.  And I got the weekly, I am worried about you, but I love you lecture via AIM, and its nice.  It shows that I have people care about me.  
I have a rant, more of a cute little observation.  I find that mothers like me.  I think it is because I am sexually non-threatening.  I officially have two mothers that would take me in off the streets if I needed it.  Neither of which need to, but you know, its good to know.  Just wanted to say thank you, to both the children, and the mother, for loving.
Love Rev RJH

On the one hand you are right. Which other male in my daughter's life would I let spend the night?! On the other hand, mothers just like to well, mother. Maybe we gather in those who we instinctively think might need us. Or by some stroke of luck or divine intervention, they come into our lives as a gift that we weren't expecting. Just because our children are grown and are out in the world, we don't lose our desire to mother. On the contrary, we have been out in the world and we know what you are dealing with. Maybe not specifically but in general. Everyone struggles to find love and to find their path. And we want you to make it through for the most part unscathed. No major catastrophe's, small fleeting tragedies, few permanent scars. Coming out on the other side (meaning middle age) wiser, with a few stories to tell, with minor regrets. Leaving the world better because you were in it. Love me
