A long awaited fall

I finally see it all, oh

This is a farewell to my beloved 5D mark 2 and Canon 16-35mm f2.8L as now they swim with the fishes in some far off never never land. OH how I will miss you my dear friend......Moment of Silence.... :-(

ABC -King Without A Crown

www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_VCMPOA-dg

Welcome to the great republic

Guess I should show you round

Where once I was a King, and now I am a clown

The love that we once shared, made a King of me

But now you're gone, but now you're gone

All I face is poverty

King without a heart, King without a hope

King without a woman baby

Oh, I'm a King without a crown

King without a heart, King without a hope

King without a woman baby

Oh, I'm a King without a crown

Hell hath no fury (Hell hath no fury)

Like a woman scorned (Like a woman scorned)

But heaven don't boast, no heaven don't boast

The jewel, the pretty jewel I just pawned (I just pawned)

Every cloud has a silver lining (Every dog has its day)

Oh, but I guess the sun stopped shining (shining, shining)

On the day you went away

King without a heart, King without a hope

King without a woman baby

Oh, I'm a King without a crown

King without a heart, King without a hope

King without a woman baby

Oh, I'm a King without a crown

King without a heart, King without a hope

King without a woman baby

Yes, I'm a King (King), King without a crown

this isn't our first time around

past lives couldn't ever come between us

sometimes the dreamers finally wake up

don't wake me, I'm not dreamin'

I remember you...(both)

This picture is a dedication to two of my dearest friends who are feeling much pain lately. If I could I would make the hurt go away. -_- Together or apart, you both are in my heart!

Much love and hugs from me.

I shake my little tush on the catwalk

From the other world I come back to you,

My locks are uncurled with dripping, drenching dew.

You know the old, whilst I know the new:

But to-morrow you shall know this too.

O, not to-morrow into the dark, I pray;

O, not to-morrow, too soon to go away:

Here I feel warm and well-content and gay:

Give me another year, another day.

My favourite Sim in SL was called "Wintermoon". I saw "was". because sadly, like a lot of things in SL, it couldn't retain permanence. On day it was just...gone...

I would go there to find solace for myself when I was hurting or lonely or both. I would take friends or more so to there to experience the beauty of the sims - arguably the best ones in Second Life - and also to "hear the calling".

Each time I went there, despite the hundred plus times I went, I would feel "called" to a particular area that somehow I had never seen and experienced before there. Somehow in the spot, I would find peace and easement of mind. Somehow many of those I cared about did too.

This picture is one of the 124 Flickr's servers up and "ate" out of 142 pictures I had journaled. For reasons unknown, Flickr "ate" the pictures and a team of six of their people took three days to find them again for me.

Every single one.

For that, I was eternally grateful as my health as it is means I can't always trust my brain and documenting my SL for better or worse via Flickr, helped me to preserve the experiences and memories of our digital world.

The catch was all my writing, song links etc, were still gone. the pictures remain and tell a story unto themselves, but the context is vague and cloudy without the journaling. Still, they are here again. In my hard drive and I can share once more a moment from the past - now a glance if you will.

I do know this was Wintermoon. I do know I was troubled looking for answers that day when wandering and I most especially know the sim "showed me" where to be and what do, so I sat, read by the sea and forest and settled my mind.

For that, for Wintermoon, I am forever grateful.

Be of peace all of you.

- Katherine

Isa left me tonight...it hurts...she is a wonderful girl with a good heart. She also has a golden soul. I have never known anyone like her....

She says she can't give me what I want and need...I am heartbroken...I wanted to give her my all and my everything...

I really loved her...really really loved her...

This is the second time she left...I wont chase her again. She's going to have to be Gone Babygirl Gone....

Good luck Isa with what you feel you need to do...

Know you are loved because your heart and spirit were so true and pure...

Know you are cared for because you deserve so much love...love which I know you feel you don't deserve, but you really, really do... All of it.

Know that I need time...but in time I will always have a shoulder for you....

I loved your love...I am feeling broken now that it is gone...you were good at helping me to be me.

Je t'aime mon amour...je t'aime mon belle fille...Au revoir mon amis...

I will always be your "Lady Katherine"...

xoxo

freedom ride

Telling me just what a fool I've been.

I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain,

And let me be alone again.

This was a tough week for me, not because of the theme itself, but due to the fact I'm still in a lot of pain following my car accident the other week. I'm still very good friends with the pink fairy elephants with the sparkly wings.

The idea for this came during a drug addled dream\doze and fortunately the weather played ball with the clouds and the tide was out far enough to let me stand here without getting soaked.

Not your traditional valentine's or love shot, but then I have never been one for traditions.

Week 7 - Love

However you wanted someone to want you, there was nothing you could do to make it happen. Whatever you did for them, whatever you gave them, whatever you let them take, it could never be enough. Never enough to be sure. Never enough to satisfy them. Never enough to stop them walking away.

Never enough to make them love you.”

― Manna Francis, First Against the Wall

One of the 124 of 148 photos that Flickr's servers mysteriously "ate" that were saved by their efforts for me.

This is from one of the happiest days of my life - when Kelly and I finally wed. She was my second wife.

Was.

We'd had a lovely life together until then.

It was a most gorgeous venue that we created ourselves and all the stops were pulled out to make it OUR own. Also to celebrate it inclusively with our friends.

It's a shame that only month's later she purposely wandered into the arms of another chasing kinks and hiding from her true self after breaking promises to me. Also our vows.

You know...I let her go after, I moved on to, but Kelly sadly never did.

She still stays obsessed with me. Even THREE YEARS LATER.

I guess I wasn't so bad after all hey? Her loss, not mine.

This day was at least a happy one. This memory will always stay untarnished. I wont let it be otherwise, so back up it goes. At least I can smile at what once was...

Tu te fais ça, tu le fais, et c'est ce qui fait vraiment mal...

Vous l'avez toujours fait à vous-même. C'est vrai. C'est ça qui fait vraiment mal...

Au revoir pour toujours...

poor soul wondering around in the desert

Two years ago I met a girl named Becca and we fell deeply in love.

Loved.

A year ago she ghosted me and took my real life bestie of ten plus years with her who ghosted me as well too. Until then, Becca and I had had the next thirty years of our lives planned.

Together.

Suddenly everything came apart including me. This picture is from our first date and when we both fell hard for each other. This pic was one of the 124 of 148 that Flickr's servers ate, but was rescued - just without the journal I tend to write with the pictures.

Alone.

She stole my heart and then my life...nearly ending it in the process, but at least, for awhile, I felt truly loved and was able to love another fully myself...at least, for awhile...

Fallen.

I'll never ever forgive you Becca Bae for what you did to me, but I have good memories of who you USED to be...Those I will cherish. Those I can almost smile at now. The tears still come freely though...

Broken

You broke me. You broke me without saying why or goodbye...

Goodbye...

- Katie...

Let me photograph you in this light

In case it is the last time

That we might be exactly like we were

Before we realized

We were scared of getting old

It made us restless

It was just like a movie

It was just like a song

When We Were Young ♪♪

Lyrics by New Uranium

i'm sorry, for what i did…

when I say that im not pretending

i'm sorry it was just a kid…

and you kno i never meant it...

[no words]

i'll walk around, and all about the world,

and still never kno why.

you always walking out, and made yourself cry...

and I never, wished for anyone to die…

except me…

[very soflty] (me, inna me, inna me, inna)

million people are watching me…

in a life to be,

my dreams are mocking me...

[no words]

oh but that is just how it is,

its never going to be the same

im sorry for what i did,

when i say that im not pretending

and im sorry it was just a kid,

and you kno i never ment it ...

[softer]i never ment it…

so go ahead and steal my life away!

again,

but kno,

im sorry for what i did...

im sorry for what I did,

and isnt this exaclty what you wanted to hear...

from me?

so for the other day, would you please forgive me

"I feel things changing when I move

It’s a distance, its a difference

Across this planet without you

And you might call this a downfall

It's one long night that I’m passing through

It's a dark one what have I done

It’s one long night"

-- Yellowcard, "The Takedown"

Late again, I know.

The point is; this is no longer. Week fifty is the week that this happened. And Up until yesterday, it was really hard for me. Yesterday I talked to him, and said what I had to say, then was able to go to sleep with a smile on my face.

Break-ups and losing love is hard, but when it's time, it's time. I won't forget him, ever.

I was gonna upload a different one, but I like the fire in this the best.

This weeks and last week's photos'll be up next week most likely. I'm getting this done before my birthday because I started the week before my birthday.

"I hope all my days will be lit by your face

I hope all the years will hold tight our promises

I don't want to be old and sleep alone

An empty house is not a home

I don't want to be old and feel afraid

I don't want to be old and sleep alone

An empty house is not a home

I don't wanna be old and feel afraid

And if I need anything at all

I need a place that's hidden in the deep

Where lonely angels sing you to your sleep

Though all the world is broken

I need a place where I can make my bed

A lover's lap where I can lay my head

Because now the room is spinning

The day is beginning"

-- Keane, "Atlantic"

"I want so badly to believe

that there is truth and love is real

and I want life in every word

to the extent that it's absurd

I know you're wise beyond your years

but do you ever get the fear

that your perfect verse is just a lie

you tell yourself to help you get by"

-- The Postal Service, "Brand New Colony"
