“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars..."(Jack Kerouac)

Hello Sonia, How are you? What are your dreams and goals? I like the pictures scrolling that you have added to you page. I've been working on organizing my music drafts. It's been stormy here. I've had a lot of trouble with my computer. So I've had to figure it out how to fix it myself. It seems much better. But I still can't see videos or music players. Good things have happened in politics. Now the people complaining the most are the millionaires. So I think that is a good sign. There is hope for those in most desperate need. I hope that you will have a good week! Greetings, Kat glitter-graphics. com
Hello Sonia! I am sorry that I did not comment back sooner then this. How are you? Yes I am thrilled that Obama is going to the white house. In regards to your question about where my comment section is, well, it is hidden. It is there, at the bottom of my profile, where it belongs on the right hand side. At the very bottom of my profile, there is one sentence about it being there, underneath a scrollbar. The scrollbar is on the right hand side very bottom of the page. There you can scroll up the comment section. :) I am sorry that it is confusing. I hope that it is okay. I like it that way. I hope that you are having a wonderful holiday season. Merry Christmas! Kat
Hello Sonia, I see from your page that you are aware of the problem with 911 being inundated in lies, also. I wonder what it would take to bring whoever actually did it to justice? But one good strong point, is Obama being elected President. Now there is hope, beyond all reason, for the peace, equality, justice, and to rebuild what has been a sacrificed class for the few, righting injustices done to humanity right before our very eyes in the name of hate and or bureaucracy. We can make that change, you and I, and anyone who can relate. I hope that you are doing well. Have a great week! glitter-graphics. com
Hey Sis...was thinking of you this morning. What a coincidence. I was meditating on politics in Scotland and wondered how you were. I no longer remember the context. I'm doing better these days...got over much of my grief over Valerie, but it's still there at times...passes quicker. But I'm dating, writing a book, and more, so it's all good. Nice to hear from you...are you still writing?

Apparently I can't come on National Express with dog, but if I can't sort something out soon, I will have to get her in local kennels for few days and come visit.
Hello Sonia! Thank you! I am part Scottish myself. I'm a mix of Irish, English, Pensylvanian Dutch, Scottish, and American Indian. Yes I will let you know when the book is ready! :) Have a great weekend! Peace and love, Kat
Hello Sonia! Nice to meet you. Thank you for the note, and thank you for adding me! I am also writing books. My first one is poetry. I am hoping to have it ready for an agent by November. ~Peace and Love~ glitter-graphics. com
