Birds Of Fire

I have been dying to sit down and write this. It's been a long, long weekend and I knew it would be, but it's been so hard to sit back and wait for the end to come around, but I had to because I knew there would be more before the end....
Let me explain....

I should start on Saturday, but Sunday has been far to exciting. I went out to The Reagan's tonight and wow, I mean I always have a good time, laughs and good conversations and plenty of stories to go around. Still this time was very important, because a gift that Russell had gotten me finally came in. He had told me before he died that he had gotten something for me, but would not tell me what it was, I knew it was jewelry - but past that point no clue. Honestly I thought it would be an Irish Sweet-Heart cross, like the one he had and loved so much; nothing even remotely close to what it actually was had crossed my mind. I opened the envelope and pulled out the necklace... And what can I say, Russell knew me. A Phoenix - yeah Russell really knew me. Outside of that, like I said a great deal of laughs and stories.
While I was out there, ten minutes into the time spent sitting on the back porch; Surveying the all 12 breathtaking achers that made up they're home land - What can I say? God dose great work. Anyways, we almost at once begin to ask about how everyone is doing and like last time they ask me how one of Russell's friends was doing ( I wont say who, or what exactly they asked about) I wish I had something to tell them.. I wish I really knew all the way around. I can't say it's not on my mind, about 50 to 75% of the time.... And in turn I ask them about one of Russell's older friends, one from way back I think when he was in Jr. High, maybe through most of High School.. I don't think they kept up near as well after graduation, but then again He had a way of keeping in just enough touch with people. I wish, further more that I was in a postion where I could reach out to others who knew him, wether their sorrow is from our loss, or that of many tragedies alike. Maybe one day.

*sighs..*

Then there is Saturday.. And What a day it was! I went out with a friend - DJ. And I think we started out thinking about maybe slumming around Houston, a little lunch, maybe some shopping, just killing some time before attending a Toga party. Yeah my thoughts exactly.... It wasn't really my idea, The day was just about getting out and clearing our heads and you know, just wasting away a Saturday, like most of us used to do.
Anyways, so DJ and I didn't end up dressed in bed sheets. Some how between lunch and diner we came to the realization that neither of us were ever very cool back in High School and the thought of attending a party themed around Ancient Greece and drunk college students (And that's themed - not actually a phrat party.. I hope not at least... *shivers* ) just was not the brightest idea He or I had ever come across. I mean that was just some bad flash backs waiting to happen. *shivers again*
So DJ and I went about doing well... I can't say we didn't do what we had planed to, because come to think of it, we didn't actually plan to do anything. So we slummed around Houston. It's good to get out and.. and.. and I don't know, just get out and goof off, doing nothing more then seeing the city.. and have I mentioned I love Houston. It's like Gotham, but with less Super heroes.

Not that a Handsome multi Billionaire(sp?) dressed like a 'Bat' running around with a Sexy sidekick with an I'll take you now smile and matching wit (yes I mean NightWing.) wouldn't be a nice and/or appreciated addition to the city of Houston. And come on Honestly guys, like a few women running around in Black Leather, high heels and whips, out to save man kind from the more earth bound bad guys isn't such a replosive thought?

So an Oaklies Store, 3 restaurants, And about three fountains later we say adios! And I think I stumbled back to my comfy bed around 3am. I can't really remember much after about 2 am....
Come to think of it, I hit the bed about 4 am Friday night as well. After meeting up for some late night sodas at some Dennys.. because after all, when was the last time you had good coffee at Dennys? I was really suposed to post in this new group I'm in.. I feel so bad about forgetting. : [ ! But instead I ended up with some on again off again conversations, looking over some really cool photos (almost 4 books/albums worth), having both the obvious and unobvious features pointed out for me. *soft sigh*

I really think all weekend long, I only had three people on my mind.. it's not easy living with a mind like mine..

WEEEELLLLLLL That was my weekend... and yeah I'll probably add more to this tomorrow, I usually do. All and all this was a good weekend. I've been happy through out most of it. Though trust me the waves have still hit me. Friday, despite some news that reached me dealing with the 'case' - of which sounded good - Friday still hit me with some strong waves.... *Sighs* every morning... and every night... if not all day.

Whatever Tomorrow Brings.... Spiral Out.... Wave On....
