Welcome home!

[Nicole]

I'm a little late in replying to anything cuz I haven't been on in so long, but I still do read every email that gets sent to me ^.^ so I kinda have an idea of what's going on hehe. Welcome back, glad you had fun, and I'll try to make it to one of your shows if possible. I might not be able to make any until school stops again, cuz I have classes mon,tues,wed,thurs, and I work tues,thurs,fri,sat,sun. Plus trying to help my 2 disabled parents, grandparents, and still see my boyfriend and have a "life" it seems very hard to go anywhere (except for school and work of course hehe). I'm also lacking the joy of being able to sleep (i get 2-3hrs a night if I'm lucky now) so if I sound delusional or delirious whenever I post it's cuz I'm tired hehe). Hope all your concerts go well and I wish you luck in continuing your search for record labels. Have a great day !!

Hi Marina,
thanks ^.^ also thank you for the calendar, it's so awesome ^.^ my mom wanted to steal it cuz she said it was cool looking hehe (she's always trying to steal my stuff now hehe). I haven't written a poem in ages though, I'm afraid to even try knowin gthat it might come out dark like the rest of them, well i did write one but it was for my boyfriend when he was gone in hawaii for 2 weeks :( i didn't get to spend christmas or new years with him :( , and i'm working on another, i'm attempting to make happier ones. happier ones other than the few i have on one of my home pages, that are really overily happy and "fake" happy hehe. When i have a new poem done I shall send it to you ^.^ and at times my family is lucky to have me, at other times i pester them too much hehe. I'm attempting to get sleep, at least more than 2 hrs lol. and I'll say hi to Robby for you ^.^ I usually tell him what's going on with your shows, and if we can make any we'll both definitely go ^.^ t/c and I'm always thinking about you ^.^ the other day at work someone asked why you didn't perform there anymore and I told them you're out in L.A. and stuff and to check out the website and that cds are available for purchase there ^.^ she was very excited, so hopefully i got a new member to register on here hehe. t/c and love peace and chicken grease!

I say go ahead a write even if it does come out dark. It can be very helpful to get out those feeling we sometimes try to bury deep within ourselves. It sounds like you have a lot on your plate and that can be rough on anyone. Writing is a good way to get through the tough time in your life. When I look back at some of the things I have written a few years ago, I can’t believe the place my head was in (some would say it's still in). It is also a good way to measure how far you have come and how you were or weren’t able to handle life’s problems. So I say write even if it is dark, besides poetry so about what burns deep in ones soul. The nice fluffy stuff is crap you find in a Hallmark card.

Hey Nicole,
Some of the best (my favorite anyway) poetry in the world is dark. Look at Poe. He was amazing. Just write what you feel, without worrying a bit about the outcome. That's usually when the best stuff comes out. Never be afraid to be yourself or express yourself. Your art is yours. Period.
