    @ at least it's not that bad...
    Took the bus downtown this Morning. 10 minutes to downtown. I love my city. Even the homeless sleeping in the park or those waiting to get free breakfast from the Salvation Army. I was born here. My soul grew here. Big city, big problems but it's home. I know it like the back of my hand. These streets have memories, of harder times and slower days. When horses were pulling wagons down the cobblestone streets. The Dred Scott decision was handed down right across from where I sit.

    It's ok I will spin one for you.... 5 a.m. on Tuesday, why am I up so early? Drive out to Santa Ana 'cause I've got jury duty No breakfast, short tempered And I cut my head shaving Ten miles out, I hit traffic Some days just aren't worth saving You know I haven't had the best of days But I want to stop and thank you anyway At the courthouse I waited And waited then I waited At lunchtime my car stalled out I couldn't get it started Had a book by C.S. lewis I finished the last page and Slept on my desk for three hours Just like my high school days 'Cuz every single moment Whether sleeping or awake is your creation And what you've made is good I don't always thank you for the rough days And the hard times in my life Even though I should Got home and decided I'd be in a bad mood My shy and quiet wife said she didn't like my attitude Got a call from my mother Forgot my sister's birthday I'm a lousy older brother safe to say I've had a bad day

    @ excused for lunch
    As soon as the panel was called, the case was setled. Now I'm drinking my lunch at TGI Fridays in the shadow of the Arch. I never get to have a coctail at lunch. Hopefully I get called up cause the book I'm reading sucks...should known it was a rape story, its got my blood pumpin. Good to see other jurors at the bar... Cheers! ;-) My song now is Tennesee by Arrested Development. Takes too much battery to post lyrics.

    @ Jury Duty
    Hey now Daydreamers it is a beautiful morning here in Saint Louis. I'm sitting here in the Jury pool looking out the window at the Gateway Arch. What a great weekend it was indeed! Thanks to rrrgrrr and a carrier pigeon who is headed back to da Buff for my package. Matt and I were so excited to get "show tapes" in the mail! Now we'll see if I get chosen to help decide someone's fate... Good morning, Worm your honor. The crown will plainly show  The prisoner who now stands before you Was caught red-handed showing feelings Showing feelings of an almost human nature;  This will not do. Call the schoolmaster! I always said he'd come to no good In the end your honor. If they'd let me have my way I could Have flayed him into shape. But my hands were tied, The bleeding hearts and artists Let him get away with murder. Let me hammer him today? Crazy,  Toys in the attic I am crazy,  Truly gone fishing. They must have taken my marbles away. Crazy, toys in the attic he is crazy. You little shit you're in it now, I hope they throw away the key. You should have talked to me more often  Than you did, but no! You had to go Your own way, have you broken any  Homes up lately? Just five minutes, Worm your honor,  Him and Me, alone. Baaaaaaaaaabe! Come to mother baby, let me hold you  In my arms. M'lud I never wanted him to Get in any trouble. Why'd he ever have to leave me? Worm, your honor, let me take him home. Crazy,  Over the rainbow, I am crazy, Bars in the window. There must have been a door there in the wall When I came in. Crazy, over the rainbow, he is crazy. The evidence before the court is Incontrovertible, there's no need for The jury to retire. In all my years of judging I have never heard before  Of someone more deserving Of the full penalty of law. The way you made them suffer, Your exquisite wife and mother, Fills me with the urge to defecate! "Hey Judge! Shit on him!" Since, my friend, you have revealed your  Deepest fear, I sentence you to be exposed before  Your peers. Tear down the wall!

    These posts of yours are better than calling a 900 number....enjoy dinner... Mirrors on the ceiling, The pink champagne on ice And she said "We are all just prisoners here, of our own device" And in the master's chambers, They gathered for the feast They stab it with their steely knives, But they just can't kill the beast I'm hungry.....

Totes has a point... My life has been lived in the moment for a while now....about 2 years... This merry band of strangers have been brought together by a cultural phenomenon and will convene for but a second in our virtual lives... I am happy to support and contribute ideas for a website...if asked Unfortunately I am unlikely to use it as well... But....I do understand that some people need living testaments and memorials and others like me are fine with the faded memories....they are almost always better than the real thing. Irrespective of personal preferences ...our collective thanks go to geohelpingtobuildamemorialforSunshinedaydreamersastheyseefitmeister After all we all have our own paths to follow... someone set me straight on that just about a month ago.... And I'm so lost down mine there ain't no going back! thanks George...hope you're feeling the love... :-)

Well said rrrrrgrrrrr. As much as these memories will live on and be a part me, it's all forward motion. The scrapbook idea is very nice though. I guess the SSDDer mission statement needs to be revised now. Contact the Poobah, we need chase this wabbit down the hole and create an IT department! The pill mother gave me didn't do anything at all. Tap, tap. Dammit, is this thing on? Where's Alice, I think she'll know. Hey Alice!

Amen to that, and amen to Totem, I don't know nothin about no website. Whose dumb/clever idea was that? Actually, the URLs were procured so no scum bag would grab them and try to scalp bootleg tshirts or something. What about that back 40 acre spread down by the river we were planning on getting for an annual pic-a-nic? Who's in charge of that? And what about the go-fund me kickstarter campaign to fund indigent sunshiners? And the Daydreamers? The house band? we gotta have a place to practice, if we existed, which we don't, but I play a mean air-guitar, and keep knocking into my monitor here. What about the pies? We need more pies. And Ice Cream. And cobbler...a big old dutch oven full of peach cobbler, plenty of cinnamon and maybe a sassafras stick or three. Anyone got 40 acres we can have? maybe with a river, you know, one that we can listen to as it sings sweet songs to rock our souls...and our canoes...gotta have canoes... Gonna be a nice pic-a-nic... Have a great day everyone... geomusemeister

All of matter is just very very very very very very condensed energy - no one has ever been here ever, but still there are albums and memories, faded and clear, and every once in an while a service is born from an idea and sometimes it helps... nothing born out of nothing and that's become everything. We are all in the story. Some will be on the site or in the non-profit, and it's all just right.

I note that 1) you have been on-board this forum bus since the last decade, and 2) you scored a single sweet Saturday suite ducat in a clever way, and 3) you know the magic handshake and posted on our friendly pic-a-nic board, and 4) it looks like you may already a sunshine daydreamer of the finest caliber and be in Chicago for that celebratory weekend, and last, but not least, 5) you probably do know how the songs go. Noting also that rgrgrrrgr hit the brakes long enough for you to hop on board and you got a nod from him... We welcome you to our friendly group of travelers...it appears all you have to do is PM one of us and you may find yourself taking it to the next level as it were, for we need to get you specific information...like tshirt, meet-ups, etc...for that we need your all important email address. Grab a seat, buckle up, say hi, but watch out, if you raise your hand, rgrgrgrrr may ask you to brive da dus... Good to know you! geonotthepoobahmeister

Went to Oriole Park tonight to see my birds play, and what had been a peaceful demonstration against our local death by cop episode, escalated into a bottle/stone throwing riot right outside the stadium. My first thought was "i hope nothing like this happens in Chicago" Ive GOT to get my head more into the now. I love my city. I believe we we can find justice without tearing it down.. probably just naive. mmmbop bop bop madswan needs more Ghandi.
