I'm not sure whose mistake it is but for some reason, it's like, 90 ouside.  this is not florida !  I'm heading off for Savannah again this weekend, from what I hear I will get to enjoy a symphony of Popular music at the Savannah theatre and maybe some other kind of Symphany, though I think I'd much rather be part of a duet. :-)

The game is afoot!  It is cool to beat people at their own little nasty games.  I heard something in the sunscreen song today that should be great advice for all of us.  "don't be wreckless with other people's hearts, and don't put up with people who are wrekless with yours.

I am sitting accross from Fulton Co staduium & Turner field in downtown Atlanta.  The Budwizer blimp is overhead.  Atlanta rocks.  The atmosphere here makes me feel alive - I don't know why really.  All I know is that I always enjoy being here. I drove by Richard's earlier. (don't ask) It appeared to be "hopping" already.  I guess a lot of people share my mood around here.  The sun is setting over the stadium now - it would be a great picture.  I guess I need to head out of the heart of dixie so I can get to Savannah before morning approaches.  I have a feeling this is going to be an interesting weekend, at least for some people.  My God what have I done.

I am sitting among the Azalias in the same place as a few weeks ago.  Rest stop 87 off I-16 in Dublin, GA.  After a flat tire, and a quick call to AAA I am ready to get on my way again.  Everything is so well groomed here.  The grass is freshly cut, with the hedges trimmed neatly.  There arn't even any dead blooms or leaves lying around.  I guess it would be great if we all had someone to come around and pick up our mess and keep our lives in order.  *sigh* Off I go.  My last best hope for peace, Savannah.

There is a musky smell in the air here, as with all older buildings.  I am in the office of the oldest working theatre in the US behind the computer, high tech for its' age huh?  Savannah didn't dissapoint me.  Its' green leaves and bright blooms welcomed me even into the night as I drove into town yesterday around 1am.  I feel like a little boy, waiting for a surprise party that I already found out about.  My best surprise doesn't get here until after 4 today but I think my stomach will be so knotted up by then that not even butterflies will be able to fly around there.

It's been a long time since I have been this excited.  The last time my excitement was cut off by people who had no rights to do so whatsoever.  I pray this time it will be different.  Soon loverboy, soon.

"Although lonliness has always been a friend of mine..."
I put my heart out on a stick again just to have it torched in myface.  It all seems like I'm in a bad dream- stuck, with no return.  what I awaited was so wonderful, so much more that I even expected, and just when I thought it couldnt get any better, it crumbled faster that Brutus turned away after stabbing Ceaser. 

After a few hours passed blissfully with wonderful company, it began to untwine.

The waves from the Tybee accompany my tears now, as they have in the past.  Forced to leave because of my own carlessness, I came here not knowing where else to go.  Ill spend the night on the beach tonight, with some new, but great friends Ryan and Seth, who have been doing a great job at attempting to comfort me, however in vain it is, its appreciated.  Its is scary to know that friends only hours old can show more empathy and thoughtfulness than some who recently professed love, then revoked it.  What the hell was I thinking.  I knew better than this entire thing in the first place. *sigh*  I said it was my last, best hope for peace (meaning peace of mind) and it failed.

The sunrise wasn't that spectacular over the ocean this morning - the clouds covered most of it.  I woke up cold only wearing umbros under a blanket but I didn't feel anything for long, as my mind wandered back to past events.  Now, I am sitting on the beach on a towel on the beach in borrowed white sweater of Seths and white tommy jogging pants.  Seth and Ryan have been so nice to me, they have been treating me like family and that means more to me than they could know.

You know before I came down here almost everyone that I know told me not to go, that it just didn't feel right.  I wish I had listened.  I am throwing seashells into the ocean now, you'd be amazed how far the wind can carry them, kinda like that wish that I made last night in a fountain in downtown Savannah; I guess it couldn't find anything that made it want to come true, other than me.

It's amazing really, if I think aboutit.  A very close friend of mine told me on the day that I left that something was wrong here - with where I was going that is.  He said that the decisions that I made while I was away, if I went, would make or break my future - how could he have been more right.  Maybe one of these days I will listen to what people tell me, instead of always deciding things with my heart.  I think I may have said this once before, but it's worth repeating.  I heard it in a song a couple of days ago - "Don't be wreckless with other people's hearts, and don't put up with those who are wreckless with yours."  If you figure out how to do that last part, tell me how. 

Seth just brought me some warm tea that stirred me into life I guess- I'm at a beach house with a private beach if you were wondering if I was sleeping on a public one.  We fell asleep last night before going inside.  You just can't imagine what it was like to be held last night, as I cried.  I thought there was no one left who actually cared enough to do something like that for me.  seth got to see a part of me that is rarely shown.  He saw the little boy who wanted to cry for his mommy, who wanted to just curl up inside that blue, fuzzy blanket and never have to face the world again.  I guess we all do though. 
I don't know where I'll go from here.  Seth & ryan are going down to st. Augustine for the night, maybe I'll go with them.  They are going to be back in the morning, and they invited me to ride down with them.  It's an offer that is pretty hard to refuse right now.  I don't think i can take a long drive alone right now without totally losing my sanity.

As I say goodbye again to someone that I loved & continue down the coast I wonder how many times it has to be this way before I get it right - or if that's even possibile.  I'm so exausted, even after sleep, much more mentally than physically.  Thank God it has finally come to an end.  well, the nightmare hasn't ended, just changed stages I'm afraid.  But the morning night does burn and end forever to "the night the light's went out in Georgia," to steal a phrase from Reba.  It also closes my last trip to Savannah. On the music theme, here's some more.

"The ocean's a little bit bigger tonight with two teardrops that somebody cried.  One of them happy and one of them bluer than blue."
