The strength of a kid

Posted by Maris Vermeij on April 17, 2013 at 4:22pm 0 Comments

I always knew that kids are in anyway stronger than most adults will be. Not physically but spiritually. 

We have a kid at school who is battling leukemia for a few years now. 

Doctors gave him a year.

He ended up in a wheelchair and most of the days, he was too sick to go to school. Got chemo and lot of medications, even a bone marrow transplant.

But he never gave up fighting and six months ago, I saw him again, walking with crutches. Not quick but really steady. 

He…

Little Black Cat

The day I found you
I found a piece of my heart.
it's hard to say but I think you
Were a reincarnated old soul
In feline form.
I learned how to give a second
Chance.
No matter where you
Came from
Or your quirks
Which all of us
Possess
you loved unconditionally
then a beast
Took you
Too soon
I was asked if I could
Have vaccinated
But the truth
Is you can't vaccinate
Against stupid
Go with God

Thankful for random moments

The other night I had an entire hour of alone time driving which is rare with three kids.I cranked The Stevedores and rolled the window down.I sang along to the entire album .At different points in our lives different songs speak to us.The same could be true of every song Spencer wrote whether it was on his own or with Stevedores.Lately the song that has been speaking to me is "The Day The Stranger Came to Dos Manos" and during my moments of randomness I actually yelled "You'll not have me…

Another Year

Posted by Bradley Barnes on March 23, 2013 at 12:06pm 1 Comment

My birthday's in a week, and that means it's time for me to get all reflective n' stuff. Lot of changes, and a lot stayed the same. A few things come to mind. SBL was epic. Made new friends, reunited with some I haven't seen in a while, and have plenty of funny stories to tell now. I got a new job. Finally started getting back into playing my own music. Went to a couple of funerals. Got completely shot down by a girl that Defcon 5 Friendzoned me, and consequently, I'm avoiding Atlanta from…

Worries? Relief? Love?

Posted by Maris Vermeij on March 22, 2013 at 3:23pm 1 Comment

After a turbulent time with losing my boyfriend to another girl. Breaking up and finding myself again. 

I just got passed the news that my grandfather probably won't get out of his bed alive anymore. 



And I know this is sad news, even though we saw it coming. 



My Grandfather and I used to be together all the time when I was younger, and even though we are not actually related. (my Grandmother lost her first husband when my mom was only 1)  people kept saying we looked…

Beautiful Soul

Yesterday a light burned out

It's not replaceable even with

The brightest bulb

The light went out long

Before it should have

a gentle reminder

That we walk this earth

But for a moment

Your quick wit

Matched your gorgeous red hair.

your love for music

Passionate.

I will miss our talks

How you listened

And told me this

when I realized I

Had to pursue

This magic musical

Carpet ride

Your words

Do you have tattoos? Do you want them? Share your tattoo pictures or sketches with the rest of the SBL community. Also, I want to hear what inspired you to get your first or specific tattoo.
