Broken thread of memories
straight jacketed and
imprisoned. It
drives me mad--
ME--cold and blue in this
time and space.
Unbroken, by these threads of memories.
They tell me something about the here and now, about the lose
of vivid loves and
the life I lose when I force myself to go on living in
these threaded memories.Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength.Hello world nice to meet you, my name is Shannon. I am the wife of 1 phenomenal man and the mother of 2 sensational kids. Life started out fast for my husband & I. We were handed everything most ppl acquire in a matter of 10 years ...in 1; kids, house, bills, jobs, stress, money issues all in 1 shot not 1 moment to takea breath or even enjoy being kids ourselves. At 20 & 21 odds so far against us & with no time to prepare ourselves...we survived and did the impossible!!! We survived every obstacle thrown our way. Now this is my life; free time unseen & I am committed to these 3 ppl & I LOVE IT...What goes on in their lives is the most important thing in mine. My life is full of school work, (the kids that is) science, drums, guitar, poetry, history, music, books, a million friends, & video games galore, driving here & there and experimenting in cooking and baking this and that. All 3 of them keep me very busy. My husband plays the guitar & has since I have been with him ...he's been in & out of bands for some time now. There have been times i have enjoyed all that goes on & other times ITS TO MUCH DRAMA!!!! .... He's currently working on a project Called "Beyond Existence" with an array of good people and musicians. They get together every Friday for the time being, but I'm looking forward to watching them grow as a unit, and continuing with more practice time. The music is really coming together nicely. Even though with all this going on we have developed a calmer family life now & my husband & I are getting to know eachother again. We are spending allot more time with eachother now that the kids are a little older & the party life has died down for the time. My son is learning 2 instruments the percussion & bells he practices every night, usually what he likes to play, which is all experimental jams sessions (they sound good...mothers ears) with him running out to me after a few minutes asking...."what do u think ma...did that sound good," this is usually for the 1st 30 minutes then its always reminder to him (im the bad guy)...."u gotta play your lessons", so after his uggghhhhh's & grrrrr's...hes out playing his lessons. He has a great music teacher who is full of enthusiasm & drive, my son really enjoys his lessons. He has a natural talent & he's been playing since he was 2 & now hes on his 2nd year of lesson, almost completed both books (drums & bells) He's played in 2 school concerts & is working on his 3rd, & he's part of the 5th grade jazz band which he had to try out for, & was excepted...he's already singled out his house for the Jazz Band hang out & jam sessions place, I guess instead of beer its milk & cookies for this croud. It's fun for him & he's growing confidence. My daughter is a strong willed & strong focused young woman. She's part of a youth group and has countless friends. My home phone is not mine anymore. She digs Reading, writing & Anime drawings. She carries a pen, pencil & a note book with her always. Theres always something to write or draw where ever she is. Theres poems, stories & scattered artwork all over her room, living room area & my home. She has such an awesome imagination, for spooky Saturday night tales, her story telling will just pull ya in. She has a great imagination for everything in here life. She's written a poem that has been published in "Anthology of Poetry by Young Americans" 2005. I bought 5 books. :-) She's into Anime & loves to draw anything to do with it. She develops backgrounds & characters to go with each of her pieces. But, for as much as, I push them to strive for goals & to be focused on the big picture, I also want them to have fun & down time. I believe life is full of stress & pressure, so when there are moments to calm the soul...TAKE IT! My kids and, my husband are huge PC & video gamers. (I can't play shit) My huband matches a few nights a week with a clan he belongs too & its so much fun to hear what goes on in these matches & getting to know the other ppl behind the screen. I am in shock with these video games & how they have come so far with the graphics and type of games systems that are available these days. I love the technology. Well basically that is the run down of my life. :-) Its pretty busy!

If your success is not on your own terms, if it looks good to the world but does not feel good in your heart, it is not success at all.
